Erica ON Fashion - Leather Layer

I've said it before and I'll say it again: There is nothing wrong with wearing a lot of black so long as you mix up the textures and add in another colour somewhere (whether it be in a vest, a purse, a necklace or a shoe).

When wearing mostly black, it's important to try to use about three different textures. Below I'm wearing silk, leather, faux fur and suede.

Vest Michael by Michael Kors. Blouse BCBG Max Azria Runway Collection. Leather Leggings Danier Leather. Boots Christian Louboutin. Clutch Rebecca Minkoff. Necklace MICALLA.

Here are the three looks, up close and personal!

Le Chateau Style Event

Le Chateau has created one of their BEST season's yet for fall full of amazing fabrics, prints, colour and accessories. In light of that, Le Chateau wants to celebrate their fabulous fall line of suiting and more, by inviting YOU to an exciting shopping experience this Sunday, October 23rd at their Rideau Centre location in downtown Ottawa from 1 - 4 PM.

Among other things, Le Chateau will be bringing in Melody Iafelice, makeup artist, for some great mini-makeovers, tips and tricks, delicious snacks and beverages, a DJ to spin some wicked tunes and I'll be there giving personal styling consultations!

The BEST part of the event at Le Chateau, is the first 100 guests will receive a $25.00 gift towards any purchase made that day!

The first 50 guests will receive a surprise gift bag on top of their $25.00 gift towards any purchase!

So come out and enjoy some great music, a style session with me, and good company at Le Chateau on Sunday! Hope to see you there!

Behind the Scenes Fun at the Ottawa Magazine Shoot!

In this month's issue of Ottawa Magazine I wrote an article about two hot Ottawa designers Frank Sukhoo and Rachel Sin, and how to wear this season's hottest trends using local boutiques, designers and retailers.

Here's some behind the scenes fun at the shoot that went along with the article; shows the not-so-glamorous side (a.k.a me in sweats with no makeup) of styling haha)!
