As we say goodbye to bikinis and beach days, we welcome fall, a time for comfort food and our favourite Fall for Robson series. This?fall, we’re delighted to have Jillian, Lily?and Cara showcase what fall fashion on Robson Street?has to offer. But?before they went shopping, we had an opportunity?to?learn a bit about each of?their fashion philosophies and this is what they had to say.
Jill |?The August Diaries
Q: Which item in your closet can you absolutely not live without?
A: The LBD. You can wear it anywhere -?work, play, day, evening and always look great.
Q: What is your go-to comfortable weekend outfit?
A: Jeans, booties, a leather jacket and hat.
Q: What is the one things that is missing from your closet?
A: Right now, I’m on the hunt for a great bag… I want one that is practical, beautiful and affordable.
Q: Who do you like going shopping with the most?
A: My mom or my sister. They know me and my style well enough to say no when it’s needed… and?I’m comfortable enough with them to buy it anyway.
Q: What is the best style/fashion advice you have ever received?
A: Go with your gut, and don’t buy into the trendy, extravagant styles that can come and go. It sounds cheesy, but when you?re comfortable in an outfit, it really shows. The people you think are stylish are usually the ones who are totally rocking their outfits.
Q: Which era of fashion do you wish you lived in?
A: The 1970’s hands down. The fashion, music and energy were an unmatchable time in our society. I’m constantly inspired by the different trends that came out of the ’70’s, whether it be the perfect pantsuit from YSL or the easy printed dresses you can wear anywhere. And, of course, I’m still listening to the music… they just don’t make it like they used to.
Lily | Bleed for Fashion
Q: Which item in your closet can you absolutely not live without?
A: My many pairs of black jeans. I wear them with everything.
Q: What is your go-to comfortable weekend outfit?
A: Preferably an oversized shirt and no pants, but if I?m leaving the confines of my apartment, then a cozy sweater paired with either denim cut-offs or boyfriend jeans, and high heels if I?m feeling sassy.
Q: Who is your style idol, why?
A: Olivia Palermo. I love that she always looks incredibly chic yet undeniably relaxed. She never looks like she?s trying too hard.
Q: Who do you like going shopping with the most?
A: Maybe it?s because I see shopping as more of an errand than a leisurely activity, but I prefer to go shopping by myself.
Q: Which era of fashion do you wish you lived in?
A: 18th century. I?d rock a full gown cinched at the waist ? la Marie Antoinette every day?and eat cake, too.
Q: In 5 years, I see myself?
A: Happy, and possibly living in California.
Cara | A Fashion Love Affair
Q: Which item in your closet can you absolutely not live without?
A: Leather jacket – you can wear it with anything, fancy or casual and it just looks effortlessly cool.
Q: What is your go-to comfortable weekend outfit?
A: In the summer, a little sundress and espadrilles flats and big shades. In the cooler months, distressed boyfriend jeans, a white button up and heels.
Q: Who do you like going shopping with the most?
A: Solo, I don’t feel any pressure to make quick decisions and am confident that the choice to purchase the piece was my own and therefore reflects my style.
Q: What is one style tip you would give to all women?
A: Be comfortable!! When you are comfortable in your clothing, you are confident & beautiful.
Q: Which era of fashion do you wish you lived in?
A: The 20’s! Flapper dresses, sequins, sparkle…yes yes and yes!
