Time Sensitive: Winter Coat Care 101

Greetings,

Were you feeling a little disgusted when you pulled out your coat at the start of the season?

Even though the season is almost over, the care for your winter essentials shouldn't be. As the winter chill starts to warm, it's crucial to give some extra love to your trusty winter coats. Here are quick and easy tips to ensure your winter wardrobe stays in  top-notch condition for winters to come:

1. Cleaning:

Keep your coats fresh by spot-cleaning stains promptly and dry cleaning as needed. Always follow the care instructions on the label to maintain fabric integrity.

2. Proper Storage:

When not in use, store your coats in a cool, dry place. Invest in breathable garment bags to protect them from dust, and add cedar sachets for a natural touch that keeps pests at bay.

3. Zipper and Button Check:

Before storing your coat away, inspect zippers and buttons for any signs of wear or damage. Addressing these issues early prevents further damage and is ready for the next season.

4. Pilling Prevention:

Combat the inevitable fuzz by using a fabric shaver or a lint roller. Gently remove any pilling to keep your coat looking as good as new.

5. Storage of Accessories:

Keep your scarves, gloves, and hats in a designated spot. This not only ensures you're winter-ready but also prevents your coat pockets from becoming an unintentional storage space.

With a little care, your winter coats can brave the cold year after year, all while keeping you snug and stylish. Stay warm and chic throughout the season!

Mastering Winter Workwear: Stay Stylish and Cozy!

As we navigate the chilly depths of winter, keeping our workwear stylish and warm becomes a top priority. While some are fortunate to work remotely, there are still those days when we need to step out and face the cold. Fear not! I've gathered some tried-and-true tips to help you stay polished, pulled together, and snug during these frosty days.

1. Layers for All Occasions: When in doubt, layer it out! Whether it's a chilly commute or a fluctuating office temperature, layers are your best friend. Consider a tank underneath a sweater or tights paired with a dress for that perfect blend of warmth and style.

2. Chic Outerwear: Elevate your winter look with a long coat, a true winter wardrobe hero! Accessorize with a coordinating scarf, gloves, and hat. Pro tip: Make sure your pieces complement each other for that extra touch of sophistication.

3. Boots: Your Winter Allies: Boots are more than a winter necessity; they're a style statement. Keep those toes warm with your favorite boots while commuting, and swap them for office shoes upon arrival. For snowy days, pack your work shoes and strut in with confidence!

4. Embrace Thick Tights: Dresses and skirts can still be winter staples with the right layering. Opt for fleece-lined tights or leggings to stay cozy without sacrificing style. Layering is the key to winter fashion mastery!

5. Be Prepared with Extras: Keep an extra scarf or blazer at the ready for those unexpected cold snaps. It's the perfect way to add a quick layer of warmth without compromising your style.

Remember, winter workwear is not just about staying warm; it's an opportunity to showcase your style resilience. Embrace the season with confidence and stay chic, no matter how low the temperature drops. Click for winter work wardrobe inspiration and shopping guide

Embrace the Bold: Our Word for 2024 - Audacity!

As we step into 2024, I'm thrilled to share our word for the year – AUDACITY. It means the willingness to take bold risks, and I believe it perfectly sums up the spirit needed to achieve the audacious goals and visions we've set for ourselves this year.

Interestingly, the word found its way to me after a week or so of contemplation.  A divine moment occurred when I stumbled upon an IG reel discussing the word audacity. It resonated deeply, directing that this word will be our guiding force throughout the year.

Audacious Faith for 2024:

He replied, “Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”  Matthew 17:20-21

We're ready to embrace challenges, take bold steps, and push boundaries. I encourage you to reflect on your goals for 2024 – what audacious dreams are you nurturing? Do you have a word for 2024?
