1. Metallic Knits - Why do I love metallic knits? You can easily use them to dress up an outfit or paired with softer textures they can add an element of interest to a causal "errand running" outfit.
My first metallic knit purchase this winter was a grey snood from Joe Fresh. I just loved the way I could throw this on with pretty much any outfit, dressy or casual. The size was perfect for those not too cold but not too warm days where a larger snood would have been too heavy and warm. The color is an easy match to almost any pairing, and the hint of metallic instantly lifted the interest of any outfit. Not bad for a sale price of $9.99!

2. The Faux Fur Vest - I definitely think that every girl should have a faux fur vest adorning her closet. No matter what your outfit mood is that day you can probably incorporate a touch of fur into it... extreme statement I know, but seriously I could probably just do an entire post on possible pairings with a fur vest and it could possibly have to be divided into parts! SO to keep this post at a manageable length and not to bore you to death on my love for fur, I will just say this... Get one! This one is from Club Monaco and I bought it a few seasons back and It is one of my go to Fall and Winter pieces!

3. The Boyfriend Jeans - So, here is a little back story... I have been on the quest of finding the perfect fitting boyfriend jeans for the past 2 years and finally succeeded this past February while I was in Toronto for work. The funny thing is, it was completely unintentional and I had no goal of finding them that day because I had given up the search in the summer. But finally I found myself in the Aritzia dressing room completely ecstatic that I finally found a pair that wasn't too thick, too tight, too baggy, or too distressed and to further add to my excitement they were on sale for only $74.99... J Brands for less than $80? Now that is excitement in my world! I shamefully have been wearing these maybe a bit too much... got to make up for missing out on wearing them for the past year right?

4. Mixed Metallic Statement Necklace - I am in love with this necklace for so many reasons and for any of you that follow me on Instagram, you would have seen this piece regularly included in my OOTDs (Outfit Of The Day) posts. You can wear this necklace 5 different ways and the mixed metals really make this piece a great pairing with any outfit, dressy or causal. If you are looking for a great statement necklace that is versatile and that can be used all year round, I would highly recommend investing in this piece.
You can get it HERE but must choose a Stylist in order to purchase. Monica Miller is my gal and she is in the Halifax area :)
5. Dry Shampoo - OK, so I'm always convinced that my hair is thinning and that I'm going bald... and my hair dresser assures me that I'm not and its in my head and that I may be slightly crazy. I have been loving dry shampoo for years to extend the life of my freshly washed locks, but I hated that I always had to be careful about not using too much because it would show white powder in my hair. This Bumble and Bumble colored dry shampoo power not only works great as a dry shampoo, but the darker colored powder also adds the illusion of fullness. Now, there are a few cons...
1. The dark colors rinses off in the tub and stains it slightly, so using this product (in black) will lead to more frequent tub scrubbings
2. The dark color will rub off on your pillow case so you will have use one that is less precious to you. It washes off great and the color isn't tough to get out at all.
3. The dark color can transfer to your fingers if you are constantly touching and stroking your hair... but it washes off easily
All of that being said, I still use this product regularly because I love the way my hair looks with it versus without it. I find I'm less self conscious of my thin hair and for that I will scrub the tub more and wash my pillow cases more often!
It comes in Black, Brown, Blonde, and Translucent and you can get it HERE
That's it for my March Favorites! Stay tuned for my next post on a few Spring and Summer Trends that I'm excited for this season.
