Summer Soles: Pop of Color

By in Fashion

As much as I love wearing as much black as humanly possible, summer is my most colourful season. There’s something about heat, sun, and outdoor parties and concerts that makes me crave fluorescents, pastels, and everything in between. If you’re not as daring as I am with color, check out this chic ulternatives that give you that little pop of color without being too flashy.

 

 

 

 

NEALEY sandal ($60) / LEGGAT flat ($70) / BRIMFIELD wedge ($90) / VIVOLO platform heel ($120)
All available at Aldo online and in stores

Which are your favorite?

Show Me Sunshine

By in Fashion, Personal

I couldn’t resist posting some more of the pictures taken yesterday around Westboro Village. Outfit details are listed in the post below. PS: Can nicer weather be upon us already? I don’t want to deal with next week’s forecasted snow/rain mixture. I want warm, sunny weather where  I can prance around in maxi dresses and flip flops on Mooney’s Bay beach. Is that too much to ask?

Burn, Baby, Burn

Mango trenchcoat, Betsey Johnson belt, H&M pants, Deena & Ozzy ankle boots

Mike and I discovered this beautiful mural on a bike ride through Westboro. We didn’t realize how many beautiful murals existed in the neighbourhood! Total hidden gems. We grabbed a bite to eat at The Works before biking home (if you’ve never been, you MUST visit—they have the craziest topping combinations and yummiest burgers in the city).

New Zara leopard print hightops. I do believe I may have fallen in love with these babies (until my Aldo loafers come in next week).

KORS Michael Kors Wedge Espadrilles

By in Fashion

This morning on Shopbop‘s homepage, they are previewing Spring (and Summer)’s “quintessential” shoe: the espadrille. My favorites are by far the wedge version by none other than Michael Kors.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


Left: Cynthia Suede Wedge Sandals ($265) – simple and modern, and also available in brown
Center: Windsor Espadrilles ($195) – love the canvas straps
Right:  Eliza Wedge Sandals ($350) – classic with a “clog” feel

What are your thoughts on espadrilles?

Nothing like some clothing and accessories lusting via Tumblr on a Saturday night (instead of working on my Human Rights research essay, duh). Leather, pastles, champagne, and shiny-ness ღ

Outerwear for a Spring Day

By in Fashion

While there may be a slight blizzard taking place outside my window presently (!!), that doesn’t mean I can’t dream about Spring clothing! There is nothing I love more than getting all dressed up, and then getting more dressed up to go outside. Spring is all about shapes (which is quite a change from the sometimes frumpy and “poufyness” associated with winter outerwear) and light colors (we’ve worn black all Winter– it’s time to switch it up a bit and embrace the new season!). Here’s a look at three of my favorite outerwear looks for Spring 2012.

Classic, with a twist
  

(LEFT) Gryphon New Timeless Trench Coat
(CENTER) Club Monaco Micah Trench Coat
(RIGHT) RED Valentino Ruffle Trench Coat with Eyelet Trim

There is something so timeless and chic about the trench coat. Perhaps I’ve seen Breakfast at Tiffany’s one too many times, but every time I’m wearing my favorite Mango trench, I feel romantic and flirty (I gave mine a big of an edge with a wide leather Betsey Johnson belt, for a Burberry feel). Whether you go girly or edgy, you’ll never look out of place in a classic trench.

The new leather
 

(LEFT) Alice + Olivia Wright Coat with Leather Trim
(CENTER) Helmut Lang Leather Sleeve Jacket
(RIGHT) Veda Jasper Jacket with Leather Sleeves

Forget what you think about the leather jacket. It has evolved from the 1950s motorcycle days and is now a staple piece for the chic girl-on-the-go. With a structured base, leather now adornes sleeves and collars, bringing an edgy vibe to classic feminine outerwear pieces.

Colors of the rainbow

 

(LEFT) TEXTILE Elizabeth and James Sid Jacket
(CENTER) Alice + Olivia Landra Wrap Front Jacket
(RIGHT) Bird by Juicy Couture Zip Hem Jacket

It is no secret how big colors are for this season, pastels and neons in particular. Pair statement pieces, like these colorful jackets, with neutral colors, or go all out and compliment color with color. I still have yet to figure out what I’ll be paring my Apricot-colored jeans with, but that soft blue Alice + Olivia jacket is a tempting companion…

Spring Shopping

By in Fashion

Betsey Johnson
Betsey’s Spring collection is now available online, and I’m so excited to head into the Montreal boutique tomorrow to check out what’s new in person. I’m loving Betsey’s soft and dewy florals (Betsey’s Bouquet Cropped Cardigan @ $228.00), pastel oversized sweater (Open Stitch Biggie Sweater @ $228.00), and sequined dress with a punch (Full of Sequins Dolman Dress @ $398.00). Though not available online, I’m hoping these sunglasses will be in store! Super vintage and totally adorable.

  

 

 

 

 

 

Aritzia
This season, the fashion chain lays down what we should be wrapping ourselves up in, and it’s luxurious and comfortable, yet fitted and chic.

  

 

 
 

  • Colors: vibrant with emerald greens, juicy oranges, and saturated blues, or soft in pale pastels and soft sorbet hues
  • Fabrics: Effortless and ethereal in silk georgette, crèpe de chine, organza, and silk charmeuse, or textural with linen, marled cotton, and hand-washed denim
  • Must Haves: Feminine dresses, drapey coats, collarless blazers, loose-knit sweaters, denim shirts, grazers, flouncy shorts, tunics, basic tees

Where are you doing your Spring shopping?

Happy Birthday to Me!

By in Fashion, Personal

I can’t believe that I’m twenty years old today. Time really does go by so fast!

Last year’s birthday (my hair was brown(!) and I was wearing a Talulah Babaton dress) was full of chocolate cake goodness, dancing with hair flippin’, and plenty of wine and vodka. Here’s hoping this one features much of the same (if not more… since I’m more mature and stuff).
