Elaine Kim: Gotta Have It

This Elaine Kim over sized coat was just featured in Minneapolis/ St.Paul Magazine. Be on the look out for this coat in Arafina any day now. It is fabulous for chilly fall days. 

Finding Fall Style

With fall approach us Minnesotans quickly, as a fashion girl I like to think about where I want to take my wardrobe once the temperature drops below 70 degrees.

Personally, I like the idea of starting fresh each season. Out with the old and in with the new.
I first look to celebrities to see what looks I want to incorporate into my fall wardrobe. Pinterest is a huge help with this. You can easily create style inspiration boards to help you physically see where you are taking your wardrobe. While your at it check out Arafina's Pinterest page.

Here is what my Fall 2013 board looks like:

Tons of

• Leather
• Greys, Creams, Caramels, Greens
• Jackets
• Chunky Sweaters
• Scarves

The list and Pinterest make a great starting point and a good focal point for when you are out on the hunt. I bring this list with me everywhere. Pull it out of your bag when you are getting off track.
Stop into Arafina to see great color pallets and statement pieces.

New Graham & Spencer

Stock up on your leathers ladies. Fall is showing us more leathers than we have ever seen. The little leather studded mock-peplum is perfect with a pair of leggings or a skirt. 

Wondering how to do leather in the office? The dress with leather details is a great and subtle way to introduce your fall trends around the water-cooler. 

As always limited stock and sizes.

Smythe Jackets!

I couldn't be any more excited to tell you ladies about our new shipment of Smythe jackets.

"Smythe has created essential wardrobe pieces that are both modern and emotional. The contemporary, flawlessly-tailored jackets and coats feature nostalgic colors, textures and prints that are distinct in their traditional menswear tailoring details.

This artful tailoring and sartorial fit made Smythe an instant success when the label launched in 2004. Smythe's made-in-Canada jackets and coats are iconic silhouettes that are novel yet versatile" (smythelesvestes.com).

A great tailored jacket is a fantastic way to look polished and chic in an instance.

What are my favorite picks from Smythe this fall? I adore the black wool with red collar jacket. I would pair this with a little black cigarette pant, silk blouse and patent heel.

Another piece that is definitely on the list for fall is a "chubby coat". Smythe makes a wonderful little chubby. Greta for throwing over a dress for a night out or skinny jeans.

Come in and look at other new arrives from Helmut Lang, Christopher Fischer, MiH, and Robert Rodriguez
