Today's Style Trends: Christmas

Nina's Traditions:
Every Christmas Eve, (after some local pizza delivery) my older brother and I open a little Christmas gift before we go to bed. Then we wake up on Christmas and open our Santa stocking presents on our parent's bed! I usually have a large cup of coffee, wear my comfiest clothes, and sometimes even have a Santa hat! After that, we go downstairs and make Dutch Cake (and I have a second cup of coffee haha)! Then we make a fire and open the presents under the tree. Later that night, we'll have a nice dinner. We don't go visit family, travel, or have a huge family feast. But I love the simplicity of it and can't wait for Christmas morning :)
Here are some outfits that will inspire me Christmas day!




Lexy's Traditions:
Every Christmas Eve, my family and I spend time together, and open one single gift after a nice roast dinner. Then my cousins Sierha and Bennet, Mum, Gran, and I go for a drive to look at the Christmas lights! We've done this for as long as I can remember. It's such a lovely memory to have! On Christmas morning, my Father and I prepare the Christmas dinner. Around 8:00 a.m. I open my gifts with my family, along with having a delicious breakfast and then lunch prepared by my Dad! We usually have hot chocolate and sit around the tree. I typically stay in pajamas all day, and then at night my family and I will go to a Christmas film at our local theater, or go to a play! I typically dress up for that. Hope you all have a lovely holiday season! Here's some of what I'll be wearing this Christmas. x

Today's Style Trends: Fur

Today on Today's Style Trends, we're going to be discussing something controversial... Fur! It's been a staple in the fashion industry for multiple years, and we think that this is a great way to look chic and stay warm this winter. Of course, it doesn't have to be real fur! Faux fur is the best alternative to this as killing an animal for fashion "needs" is very selfish, and we don't promote that in any aspect! Staying in trend this winter with faux fur is definitely key! 
Here are some amazing looks with fur from previous fashion weeks:
new york fashion week trends, fall 2013 trends
Fashion Week 2013
(From 1 to 6)
Carolina Herrera, Badgley Mischka, The Row, Prabal Gurung, Monique Lhuillier, Jason Wu

Fur has also made its way onto the streets! Street Style inspirations such as Abbey Lee Kershaw and Jessica Hart have donned cozy fur coats for the cold winter.

We hope that you guys love this chic trend as much as we do, and have some pieces in your wardrobe this winter! 
Here is some style inspiration that we created if you're feeling a bit stuck on how to wear fur:

Today's Style Trends: Slip-ons

From every Fashion Week in September to personal style bloggers across the internet, slip-ons are making a comeback! CĂ©line paved the way with their tartan, leopard, and furry pairs, and now brands such as Zara, Topshop, Kurt Geiger, and Steve Madden are joining in.
This trend was huge back in the early 2000's, but the comeback they're making is huge! It's a popular trend with style bloggers today. They're a piece that is easy to slip on (quite literally!) when you're in a rush. 


Though these may seem a bit hard to style when they're patterned, we have come up with several ideas:
