Many of us have a few items in our closets that feel extra special and help to elevate our wardrobes. For experienced stylist Roz Kaur, that includes her range of pretty pieces. She's been styling for over 20 years, so she has seen and accumulated quite a variety of forward picks, but there is a select group of items in her offering that she deems as true favourites right now.

"We all have to have certain things in place to feel our prettiest, right? Me? It's kind of about a specific grouping of pieces in my closet. Then voilà, I put one on, and I'm feelin' pretty," she said.
