It is almost the holidays! How? I am not sure. This year has somehow been one minute long, while also feeling like a lifetime. As we head into the holidays it’s weird time to shop. Things are closing, and the safety of our family and friends is most important. Looking for a holiday outfit, I definitely kept in mind what would look good on zoom.

For this season, I found the perfect holiday dress. Vero Moda came out a few months ago with their shiny finish ruffle insert dress. I fell in love right away. It is the perfect colour to enjoy in the holidays, but can also wear in the new year. The nude with shiny finish allows this versatile dress to be worn past the holiday season!

What else I like about it is it can be worn with or without heels. As things are winding down, my holiday plans are quiet, so being able to pair this with a cute loafer rather than heels is ideal. (PSST. Those shoes are on sale for 39.95 right now from 129.99) I love this pear from Simons, that includes giant pearls to add a flirty femininely touch to chunky male shoe. I threw on some panty hose to create a more nighttime look, and I am all set to drink hot chocolate and open presents.

The other thing I really love about this dress, is the tie in the middle. You can tie it tight to create a more slimming look, or leave it loose to create a more straight dress vibe. As well, the pearly looking buttons tied in the shoes perfectly.

If you want to dress it up some more, you can throw on some sleek hills and bright jewelry to create a more night time look. Or even ditch the panty hose, and wear this in the spring with a long black jacket so it is perfect for going out.

Buying things during this time, really means buying pieces that can last, and that can be reused. A lot of people see dresses as a one wear piece, but accessories, shoes and styling makes all the difference. If you end up doing a zoom call holiday, the top of this dress still shines and is perfect for virtual celebrations.

I hope everyone stays safe this holiday, and if you decide you need a holiday dress, this one is it.

The fall season in Canada is a short one. We go from hot summer weather to freezing weather to a random week of hot summer weather and back to winter. With all that is going on, your fall wardrobe seems to never really get its time to shine. This year, I decided to try and not splurge during fall on things I can wear for 1 week and decided to try and mash up some spring and winter pieces into the perfect fall outfit.

Something that I don’t like about fall is the need to shove burgundy and burnt orange down our throats. I don’t think seasons have colours, and even if they do who cares. I hate floral in the spring, and I love pastels for winter. For this outfit, I decided to create a fun fall look by matching pastels, with holiday greens. A pastel purple blazer with a satin green pant is the perfect way to create a look with contrasting colours. What is great about both these pieces is that they can be reused in so many different ways. You can switch out the pant for some lilac trousers to create a monochromatic look. Or you can pair up the bright green pants, with some bright orange to make the look stand out more. When buying pieces I always think about the 3 ways of wearing them: monochromatic, toned down, or contrasted. When I can imagine these pieces in all 3 days I know it is something that will not end up sitting in the back of my closet collecting dust. But to be honest though, this pairing is my go to. I think these two colours together are chic, and fun. Contrasting colours are my favourite to work with. So don’t be afraid to leave some of your spring and summer wardrobe out for the fall and winter.

PS the beautiful purple sandals are on sale right now at H&m.

Women’s Suits with Sneakers is a trend that has come alive in the last few years. Before the suit was known for being very formal, but has transformed into something that is so versatile, that can be dressed up or down.

Adding sneakers to a suit can change the look of a suit in seconds. This is great, because a good suit can now be seen as more of an investment then something you’ll wear once a year to a fancy event.

Borrowing from men’s fashion is nothing new. Coco Chanel was an icon, but also really changed the game when it came to fashion because of her love of wearing trousers, and sports wear, as it quickly gained popularity in our women’s world.

More formal clothes become more versatile has led sneakers to be a closet staple unlike ever before. Sneakers can now be worn with dresses, skirts, jeans, and anything in between. The Women’s Air Max 90 Sneakers can be a versatile enough pair, even with it’s bright colours. I landed on the blue and orange because I genuinely love using colours to take an outfit to the next level. I probably have a million sneakers, but if you are looking for something to wear all the time, this has a high enough platform, but is not too chunky. So many people tell me they hate chunky sneakers? SO if you do but need some height, these are for you. PS. I love chunky sneakers, but to each their own.

For this look I am wearing a royal blue double breasted suit. Buying the right suit can be hard, because fitting, and tailoring is really everything. I like a double breasted suit because it stands out from the suit crowd. Also hence why I went for royal blue. You can wear it with sneakers and light jewelry for a fun weekend look, or you can throw on black heels with a purse for a day in the office (if we ever have those days again). Another great thing about a suit is it can be broken up and wore differently so many times. The styling options are endless. If you are someone who prefers neutrals you can go for beige, or grey but you prefer colour blue, pinks, purples and greens are the way to go. Moral of the story, a good suit is never a bad idea.

Yes, it’s time!! Tis the season for all the best things. My absolutely favourite thing about this season is a good pair of boots. We all have our things, mine might happen to be black boots. I can’t wait to pull out my classic Chelsea boots, but I have fallen for a new love. The oversize mid calf boot. I was ecstatic to pull these bad boys out. I paired them with a black dress. I may have mentioned a few times, I am not a fan of all black, so I broke the colour with a lighter white scarf and beige hat, to pull off, you guessed it, another western look. (I really think I am a cowgirl sometimes).

During this time I am trying to be more careful with the pieces that I own. When most of my time is spent at home my fashion purchases have been more strategic than anything. A solid black dress is always staple piece that can be worn many different ways, so when I found this NA-KD dress I knew it was a great piece for my fall closet. The Call It Spring boots can be worn with dresses, skirts and even jeans, and the best part is they are vegan leather. Lastly, I think a wide brim hat is an awesome accessory for many different looks. Also an essential for bad hair days. Lastly, a silk scarf can be used as a neck tie, bandana or an add on when you get sick of an old purse. I know these are all things I will wear again in different way, creating a closet that I can feel happy about.

This was honestly one of my favourite shoots! I really do love this time of year. I always feel sick of summer clothing by mid July so having this type of weather this early in the year is a treat. I know I will be complaining when Halloween is freezing, but for now, pull out the boots, grab the hot coffee and enjoy!

Hi everyone,

Long time no blog? I am back and better than ever. Okay, that’s not true. I’m back and have memorized what all the walls in my room look like. Things have been strange, and scary, but I am healthy, and so are all the people close to me, so I am grateful. To be honest it’s weird to be writing again. It is weird to be blogging again. It’s weird to be wearing anything that is not sweat pant material. I felt almost silly blogging again. The world is on fire and here I am like ouu look at my latest outfit, but I am trying really hard to still make sure I do things I enjoy. Fashion is one of them. With that being said my take on fashion has definitely changed, for example, sweat suits are now acceptable to wear to the store and frizzy hair is my new thing.

I am sure I did the same thing as many others at the beginning of covid and online shopped the feelings away. Add to cart was the emotional Band-Aid of the year. I tried to move from shopping to yoga, which helps but by the time I got there some damage was already done. For example, I bought extra wide blue bell bottoms. I will be honest, I know they aren’t practical but I love them….and they were on sale. (That makes it better, right?) In all honesty, I was super excited about this piece. I really enjoy wide leg pants, I feel like it can make a simple look for fashionable instead of a skinny leg pair. I saw a picture of Katie Holmes wearing a similar pair but denim and I couldn’t wait to rock my own pair.

Having something like giant ass blue pants are pretty fun and easy to style. A chunky sneaker and plain tee will do the job. What’s great about buying something like this is due to the denim like colour and material this type of pant can be really versatile. If you want to make it more street style I would throw an oversize blazer with it or some chunky accessories. I usually go the simple route, which is what I did here. So my new motto for pants was my old motto for life, go big or go home.

Buying a winter jacket should never be an impulse purchase. It should be an item that is considered as an investment. Let’s be real, in the winter this is the one item most people see. I used to buy a winter jacket every time I saw one I liked, and the following year would come last years jacket would collect dust in the back. I spent this year looking and waiting for the perfect one. I was looking for a good quality neutral jacket that will last me more than one year. I settled with a wool wrap jacket. An item like this can seriously become an essential item that can keep you warm and bundled in the winter, but worn fashionably open in the spring and fall as well.

With a neutral jacket you can match with all nude everything, such as light pink or beige scarf and hat, but as I have mentioned many, many times before, I really love colour and find fashion boring without it. With a neutral jacket I made sure to find some bright coloured scarves to cut through the tone and add a pop of vibrant colour. A plaid red or green scarf can be perfect to contrast a camel colour.

This outfit was a casual December day outfit. The holidays are nuts and you start to gain weight and none of your clothes fit, so it’s always fun to get dressed and depressed to see family and friends. I was rocking some straight jeans and some sleek sock boots. I adore culottes and tall boots. It’s such an easy way to look fashionable without much effort. I fit it with a plain white tee and a neutral bag. Decided to walk into the new year with no resolutions, not many highlights, and loads of 2016 problems still lingering, but I will be walking in with a killer coat, so I guess it’s not all bad? (don’t answer that)
