Bright coloured pants, chunky sweaters, the parka – there are quite a few fabulous yet different trends in fashion this winter.

How do we translate what we’ve seen on the runway to real life?  Real life meaning the life of a busy mom?  What’s in style this winter 2012?

A fabulous coat is essential. Chunky sweaters are also in style – fabulous for those cold mornings on the school run.  Slim trousers and jeans are still in style as well but look for them in different colours and slouchy styles.
