New York Fashion Week has been an absolute whirlwind and, by the end of a long day running from show to showroom all across Manhattan, the clothes almost all blur into one giant collection. Now as I type from the Newark airport reviewing my notes, however, I'm starting to realize that there's another reason for my haze: the thread of trends. Even calmly looking back, it's easy to see how much certain styles overlap between designers.

Trend reports are, of course, what the fashion blogs and magazines base their monthly lineups on and while the spring looks are now unfolding with loads of colour and sportswear chic, I'm going to give you a quick look ahead to which of those spring trends also carry into fall. This way you can be a smart shopper and skip the trends that will only last a few measly months.

From a handful of blogs to a full-blown career path, street style photography has become a new art in just a matter of years. There is one man, however, who is considered the master of it all: Bill Cunningham.

Because of my pale skin, I've always shied away from dark lipstick. No need to look any more ghostly, I thought; but as it turns out I was wrong. When worn the right way, dark lipstick can be a dramatic look loved by all.

New Year's Eve hits Saturday night and if you're like me, you still have no idea what you'll be doing as the clock strikes twelve. No matter where the night takes you, here are a few different outfits to suit whatever party or chill session you choose.

POSSIBILITY #1: THE MAJOR NYE BASH

   
Elina Bustier Dress, available at Club Monaco; Acne Miro Biker Jacket, shop.acnestudios.com; Dolce Vita Babette Colourblock Platform, available at dolcevita.com.

Holiday parties are rolling out and there's no easier way to get festive than with a little sparkle and shine. This season glitter is taking over the marketplace, but diamond encrusted goodies are always a fave of mine. Check out my top picks that mix up a little bit of both.

As tempted as you may be to wear your fuzzy slippers around work, it's not the most professional way to combat office chill. Instead, keep an oversized scarf at your desk to stay warm and on-trend at the same time.

What do Miss Piggy, Jersey Shore, and Anna Wintour have in common? It appears as though they are all playing muse to designers and editors the world over.

We all joke about the winters here in Canada, but I hate being cold, so for me it's no laughing matter. I take bundling up very seriously and in order to do it right, I need an arsenal of outerwear. Here are the four coat styles I think every Canadian gal needs to make it from October to May:

#1: MOTORCYCLE JACKET
A fabulous leather bomber can take you surprisingly far into the colder season. With a scarf, tuque, and mittens, this Mackage leather can ward off the wind without sacrificing any style.

 This Limited Edition Pillow Boot with the classic red fleece lining can be yours for $270.

There’s no other season that pulls me to the mall for shopping the way the fall does. I am always excited by the prospect of cozy new sweaters, coats and boots without fail. And even though I’ve already purchased a couple of pairs of boots for the cold weather ahead, I got a little giddy when I opened my mail today.

The Cougar Pillow Boot we all know and love from childhood is back!

Day Four of LG Fashion Week in Toronto has just wrapped and there's just one more day to go.
