Text from the April Fernie Fix, The Remark by Chan….

Its no secret that I love fashion. Call it shallow compared to your polar peak assents or your bike ride of the week but it’s who I am and who I always have been, despite a couple years fighting it here and there (I once wore men’s camo shorts for a summer convincing myself that dressing the part would make me a better mountain biker – WTF was I thinking?).  I have come to be one with my passion for fashion and proudly wave my Chanel knockoff up and down 2^nd ave. To me it is life’s greatest form of self-expression. It is art, it is a form of communication, its the stuff that gives me thrills.

It is also, at times, hard to fit in to this community with such a different lust then the average North Face softshell toting gal. Im not joking when I tell you as a 14 year old my walls were covered in Harper’s Bazaar photoshoots and not Backstreet Boys.

They say do what your love and love what you do. So yes, here I am in backcountry BC drooling over this seasons espadrilles.

As I type this I’m combing over the pictures and reviews coming out of Toronto Fashion Week. Last week I was glued to the Paris Fashion week photos. Even though these are all fall collections, spring is just my favorite time for fashion. Fashion is in the air baby!

And here, by yours truly is your spring fashion forecast – Fernie style that is!

Spring Fashion Forecast: 

Coral, Peach, Lemon, all colours that you will not be able to get enough of. Chiffon, dressed up or down, have a least one chiffon blouse this coming season.  Daisy Dukes? You bet, wear them with tights until its hot out. Pair up with that chiffon blouse and wow em! Bangles and bracelets, all kinds, big small skinny, stack those puppies up your arm. Fernie loves the boho look, so yes, go for it, get that fringe bag, wear that maxi dress, all very hot! Coloured denim, give your black jeggings some time too cool off, get your white pasty legs in some pink, or beige skinny jeans. Wear a cropped jacket or new hoodie. Oh! And a huge bun on the top of your head, not exactly fashion, but trending right now for spring. If you have short hair – do the “sock bun”. Oversize tanks! Get out the bandeaus, bright coloured and fun bandeaus and wear them under those tanks with the huge armpits. Can you believe I incorporated the word “armpits” in to a fashion article?? Cray Cray.
