The Most wearable Spring Fashion Trends 2017

4/17/2017

'80s Influence

Designers dipped into the past to craft new looks with nostalgic references. Think puffy sleeves, wild prints, grunge — and even acid-wash jeans — all reintroduced to your 2017 wardrobe with modern nuances.

Isn't It Romantic

Ruffles, voluminous sleeves, and flower prints make Spring's most covetable styles decidedly romantic — and a touch more dramatic than your average clothes.

Madison Style:

Vacation Prints

Spring's florals are bright, splashy, and on vacation. The saturated, tropical-feeling motifs find their way onto everything, giving you those getaway vibes, even when you're trapped at home.

PUNCTUATED in Pink

Pretty and soft isn't the way you'll think of Spring's pink palette. The color was a designer favorite, punctuating runways with its ironic sweetness or, sometimes, bold, saturated fuchsias.

Madison Style:

Prepare for bolder prints, more frills, and some serious wardrobe disruption. While minimalism has ruled, 2017 is poised to bring some big change to our closets.

Girl's Night Out for Breast Cancer Research

10/15/2016

Girl's Night
Last night I enjoyed a fabulous evening out with my friends at the Northern Lights Estate Winery here in Prince George.

This evening was sponsored by Margaret Brevik and Tocara for Breast Cancer Research. They had fashion being modeled from local shops here in town. My shop Madison Ave Fashions was also on display with Tocara jewelry.

Back to School Style.

8/10/2016

Denim is also a Back to School staple.
Jean jackets to blue jeans.
Oversized denim jackets are a must and skinny jeans layered with chunky knits.

Madison Style:

There are some fashion pieces we’ll forever associate with back-to-school shopping: plaid shirts, leather loafers, backpacks, and, perhaps most of all, pleated skirts. But while once the exclusive territory of prep school girls, this feminine cut has gotten an elevated (and elongated!) makeover recently by way of big name brands.
To ensure your own pleated skirt feels just as fresh, avoid expected pairings, like button-up shirts and plaid pullovers. Instead, look to the catwalk for inspiring ways to mix and match—think metallic material worn with printed knits, or silky pleats offset with oversized outerwear—or simply play up the silhouette's inherent femininity with a casual T-shirt and bomber jacket. As the temperature drops, layer with chunky cable knits and tights for a coed-cool look.

Whatever you choose for your Back to School look make it your own.

This event was a big hit this year, everything from yummy cupcakes to a fashions show.

Not only do I love teaming up with one of my best friends Ms. Danielle Collin to put on this awesome event, but also the great lady bosses who come together to join us in not only raising money for the BC Cancer Foundation; but also building their businesses.

Here are just a few highlights from the event. Hope to see you at our next one!

New for Spring 2016!

1/1/2016

As 2015 comes to an end, warm thoughts of Spring start coming to mind. Browsing the fashion mags for what will be hot in the new season, I've pulled a few of my fav's for you.

Pantone Colors for Spring are so rich not your usual pastel pallet. I would love to see the Buttercup in a bag!

Styles for the Season:
Ruffles
adding a soft feminine style much like the Edwardian era

Tweed
the fav of Coco Channel but done with a modern twist.

Stripes
a great way to ward of the winter blues. Bright Strips will be all the rage.

The Must have Accessory will be the Structured Bag.

Spring Looks like a very Stylish Season!

Can you wear White after Labor Day?

8/30/2014

Coco Chanel famously wore white whenever she wanted, so why shouldn’t we? It might be because very few of us are fashion icons but that doesn’t mean we can’t carry the spring/summer trend over to fall by mimicking some of our favourite celebrities whose fashion sense we trust.

- Pick The Right Fabrics

Unless you live in Barbados, white linen pants in late September can look off. Choose a heavier textile like white leather or denim.

- Wear Off-White Instead Of Bright White

A cream or eggshell white will be less blinding than the stark white we often see in the summer months.

- Pair White With Darks And Other Colours

Fall is notorious for bringing out the dark side in your wardrobe but it's okay to pair black, brown, grey and navy with a pop of white to balance it out.

What ever you try make it work for you. Style is personal... xoxo
