Texture, colour and details are key this year. The right jacket makes an outfit look instantly pulled together. Choose a jacket that coordinates with items already in your wardrobe. For example, if you wear a lot of black, a beautiful blue or red blazer will make the black pop. Brown is the new neutral accented with reds, purples and olives. For the ideal blouse neckline, measure from the crown of the head or hairline to the chin. The deepest neckline you should wear is the distance when measuring from the chin down to the neckline.

Bags have become a fashion statement, not just a way to carry your wallet and cell phone. Handbags come in all sizes, from oversized totes for daytime to small but stunning bracelet bags for evening. Look for bags with lots of texture, pops of colour and trims like studs, grommets and even chains. The versatile satchel bag will take any look from daytime to night-time in an understated way.

The key to standing out in the crowd is wearing a classic look and accessorizing it with complimentary Jewellery. For the latest trend look for stones set with yellow gold or sterling sliver in textured finishes such as hammered metals, filigree designs and brushed gold. Don't be afraid to create sparkle and sizzle by layering a few jewellery pieces together to create maximum effect, especially with bracelets.

Style and flair are longer lasting than beauty at any age. If you have ever been to Paris you'll have noticed how effortlessly stylish the women look - even in a simple T-Shirt and pair of Jeans. Their fashion flair stems from knowing what suits them - understanding their body shape and how to accentuate their assets and minimize their flaws.

The ultimate luxury in fashion is to be yourself and celebrating your personality with a signature style that sets yourself apart. To craft your individual look and tap into your personal signature style, create an inspiration board of your favourite magazine clippings and photographs for fresh, new ideas. Visit galleries and museums for even more inspiration from art, photography, fashion and design.

When you exude confident style, that message stays consistent across all of your style "personalities," going from your work attire to your casual outfits to your most glammed-up evening wear. When making style changes, many women make the mistake of thinking that they have to change everything and are tempted to try all of the most recent trends. That can be a recipe for fashion frustration. Giving your style a refreshed attitude can be much simpler than you'd expect. Keeping your innate style in mind, you can change up your wardrobe by simply adding small new elements. Even tiny changes can make a difference, while still letting you express who you are.
