Fashion for real women

By JUDI KOSKI

Lynn Mazzuca, owner of Lynn's Place in Capreol, has enjoyed the past 25 years in the ladies fashion retail industry and is now dressing second and third generations of mothers and daughters.

Because Mazzuca has such a great number of repeat customers she is always looking for something new that will fit into their wardrobes. She believes that a woman does not need a lot of clothes, but pieces that are timeless and good looking. Mixing and matching can create a wealth of different looks.

Fashion divas this fall will be wearing denim and fine corduroy, offered in a variety of pant silhouettes; sweaters in wools and cotton with argyle patterns treated with buckling and patchwork, teamed with soft jersey tees. Today's fabrics are metallics and iridescent microfibers. Attention to texture is key. Also popular are reversible toppers in sweaters and jackets.

This season there is something for everyone. Fun fashion for the weekend include jeans, cords, techno fabrics and comfortable tees, soft sweaters, vests and colourful jackets.

Look for colour combinations of chestnut browns; blushing crimson reds; metal colours in copper, steel, slates and pewter; charcoals and blacks infused with fushia, turquoise burnt oranges and purple. Touches of lurex (a type of metallic yarn) also show up in knitwear.

Lynn's Place offers a range of women's clothing from casual to formal, from bathing suits to evening wear, and just about anything in-between. They also have an exquisite collection of jewellery, bags and fashion accessories.
Lynn's Place is a short drive from downtown Sudbury at 17 Young Street in Capreol. Visit soon or call 858-1866.
