Slim suit
Throw some polka dots into the mix. A pretty blouse adds just the right touch to a borrowed-from-the-boys suit.

Sweater dressing
The new suit is cozy, chic, comfortable and a breeze to pack. What could be better than that?
Sunglasses, $500, Cutler and Gross. Sweater, $39, Skirt, $39, Joe Fresh.
On Location at The Cove Lakeside Resort: Situated on Okanagan Lake with a beautiful mountain view, this welcoming resort is steps from all the best sights in Kelowna. If you’re looking to relax, you can lounge by the pool during the day and stargaze by the bonfire at night.
Winter whites
Nothing says sophistication like a statement coat. Brighten up the season with lighter tones like ivory, white or a soft pastel.
Coat, $298, Ann Taylor. Pants, $160, Top, $50, Banana Republic. Shoes, $130, Nine West.
Cashmere crewneck
Elegant, pretty and sporty all at once. We say everyone needs at least one luxurious tee.
Top, $255, The Cashmere Shop. Miz by Izzy Camilleri skirt, $285, Miz Collection. Shoes, $130, Nine West. Belt, $78, French Connection.
On location at Bottega Farm Inn: This boutique hotel and studio space sits on a working alpaca farm and features acres of meadow and pine-tree forests. Intimate and architecturally thoughtful, it’s the perfect destination for romantics and art lovers.
Retro accessories
We can’t help it; we love vintage makeup and accessories and always will. Keep the look fresh with sleek, shiny hair.
Top, $255, Cardigan, $365, The Cashmere Shop. Thierry Lasry sunglasses, $495, Josephson.
Shades of grey
Investing in basics? Think about softer dark tones like silvery slates and smoky charcoals. From blacks to brights, they’ll work with everything that’s already in your closet.
Shirt, $275, Pink Tartan. Jacket, $240, Banana Republic. Skirt, $39, Joe Fresh.
On location at Flying Horse Farm: This sprawling ranch is famous for breeding thoroughbred horses for the track and polo fields. It’s where we got to meet the very handsome Hijinx.
Boyfriend pieces
There is a little tomboy in all of us. Play it up in lace-up brogues, banker stripes and casual shirts — just don’t forget your pearls.
Judith and Charles pants, $325, Holt Renfrew. Shoes, $130, Nine West. Shirt, $28, Old Navy. Belt, $50, Banana Republic.
On location at Ross Orchards: This family-owned orchard, famous for its home- made cider, also yields pears, peaches and apples and is home to chickens, dogs and vintage cars!
Luscious lips
For maximum colour, prep your lips with a thick layer of balm, apply colour using a lip brush, then take a tissue and blot your lips before reapplying the shade. For a little more fall drama, finish off your look with a blackberry nail polish.
Beauty note: M.A.C. lipmix cream in fuchsia, $18.
Top, $299, Jacket, $599, Hat, $129, Tommy Hilfiger.
On location at Paynter's Fruit Market: This farm is the destination for foodies—and if you aren’t one, you’ll be one when you leave. Fruit never tastes sweeter than when eaten under the tree it was picked from.
