Play with colour and proportion. Try a calf-


length coat this season (hello wind blocker!), add a belt, leather ankle boots, bright yellow gloves and you are done! If a longer coat feels to heavy, roll up the sleeves and let your sweater underneath poke through (add a bracelet or watch overtop the exposed sweater on your wrist and you’re ready to start your fashion blog!) Long slouchy styles were seen on the 2014 runways of Stella McCartney and Joseph Altuzarra, while colour was the primary focus for designers such as Dries Van Noten, Proenza Schouler, and Prada. If colour scares you,


experiment with colour blocked coats that are primarily neutral, or invest in a colourful scarf or printed accessories from downtown boutique Splurge & Co. Adding colour around your face helps make you look less like a corpse, and more like a vibrant style aficionado! Coral is rumoured to be the most flattering colour on every skin type, so try a coral-coloured blush, lipstick or even nail polish to bring warmth into your look (the affordable Joe Fresh selection at Superstore is great).


In the spirit of proportion playing, Splurge & Company necklaces.


consider exaggerating your boot height from either a chic ankle bootie to an over-the- knee option. Don’t forget that ankle boots are transitional between seasons and get an infinite amount of wear here in Canada. Russian style icon Miroslava Duma has mastered the art of dressing her 5’0” frame by simply balancing out proportions. For example: large oversize sweater on top, thin body-hugging pants/boots on bottom; full skirt on the bottom, fitted turtleneck on the top. Dive into a google black hole and study her style! The real trick with colour and proportion is to make one piece your focal point. Locally owned


online boutique, Rich Rats


Clothing, has a broad selection of attention grabbing cool-girl pieces! The best part about experimenting with


fashion is you learn a little about yourself in the process. “If you’re happy, that’s the most


important thing. If you want to experiment, try, but no one is going to put you in jail if you buy the wrong skirt.” (Iris Apfel;

esearch has established that the Subconscious mind has the ability to heal the body. We “expect” certain types of healing (a cold, a wound); howeverwe do not“expect”healing of cancer, heart disease, MS, depression and so on. Dr. Bruce Lipton, a cellular biologist, has proven that not only does healing occur continuously throughout your body but that your thoughts and emotions profoundly affect cellular function and, ultimately, your health.UsingDolores Cannon’sQuantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy technique (QHHT), a review of the wisdomgained throughout your past lives establishes direct contact with your Subconscious, your questions are answered, and healing occurs. A personal belief in reincarnation and past lives is not necessary. The most important belief is believing in yourself and your body’s inherent ability to heal itself.
