Q&A with Lindsay Bell
JD How would you describe your style?
LB Modern vintage with a boho rock n’ roll edge. I can’t live without my leather biker jacket and a pair of vintage boots.
JD What are your favourite trends of the Fall/Winter season?
LB There are too many trends to choose from. I’m a firm believer in creating your own trend. All you have to do is pick something you love and wear it with confidence. But as a shoe gal, I would say don’t forget your platforms!
JD How should we dress for a holiday party in December if we want to look stylish and pretty?
LB I always start with shoes as they are my biggest vice! You can tell a lot about a person by their shoes. For a holiday party, I would wear a platform ankle boot, tights, and high waist velvet shorts with a glitzy embellished blouse. Velvet is a great holiday fabric because it’s always rich in texture and colour. Throw on a blazer and you’re good to go!
JD What are the different types of looks you can style up?
LB Styling a look is about listening to the needs of the person you’re working with. The key to being a successful stylist is to not impose your own style on others. I can style anything you want according to your needs, but I’m good at business casual with a unique or creative edge, bohemian chic or grungy glam. However, I’m not tied to those, they just resonate with me.
JD What’s a good gift we can buy our best friend or sister for the holidays?
LB A good statement necklace can go a long way. It doesn’t have to be a huge investment and can easily complete an outfit. And who wouldn’t want the gift of that finishing touch?
JD Thanks Lindsay! How can people get in touch with you to make an appointment?
LB You can call me directly at 416-789-8666 or email me at topshoppersonalshopping@hbc.com
