Just a quick hello and sharing a few new items added to my beauty regime and make-up bag lately. Hope you had a great weekend, my Sunday was super productive, follow along on Instagram to see what I’ve been up to!
Last week I shared my DIY Skort inspiration. I absolutely adore the infamous skort that Zara (similar here) came up with spring/summer season and snatched a pair as soon as I got a the chance. I wish I could stack them up in my closet in every colour and print, unfortunately the selection is slim to none.
Therefore, I decided to DIY a pair by using a floral silk scarf I bought from H&M for $12.95 months ago (I was determined to use it for a DIY project!). I love the result of it! The beauty is, you can pretty much use any fabric you have for this project and I also used an existing pair of shorts that I found were a little tad short as the base for this.
I LOVE living in the city. There is definitely no doubt that I am a city girl (Kyle’s dad is the first to remind me of it when I pitter patter into their home up north with my sky-high heels). The best thing about living in a busy city like Toronto is the abundance of “honey spots”. What is a “honey spot” you ask? A “honey spot” is a place where I can find tranquility, relaxation, peace, or pretty much just makes me feel like a happy girl all around.
Summer is the prime time for weddings. I just came back from Chicago celebrating my dear friend, Ashley’s wedding at the Knickerbocker Hotel. It was a fantastic time and what a great excuse to get away for a few days and explore the windy city. All the weddings and engagements this year (and a little browsing on 77 Diamonds) got me thinking about all the different diamond shapes. There are so many different types! Each having it’s distinctive character, style, and let’s be honest, not every shape is for every lady.
I recently participated in a great LBD contest hosted by FAJO Magazine for VAWK and eBay Canada. All the ladies who entered the contest were stunning! Though I didn’t end up winning it got me thinking about the LBD some more.
There are certain items that every stylish woman needs in her wardrobe. Fashion followers and the world’s top designers often say that perhaps the ultimate key piece in any wardrobe is the Little Black Dress.
Just a quick post to end the work week as I’m off to Chicago bright and early on Friday morning. Follow along with me on Instagram to see what I’ll be up to!
OK… so we’ve all seen THE (Zara) skort worn on almost every fashion blogger out there. I must confess, I’ve got the same one in black. I love the damn thing. The asymmetrical hem lines makes the piece so interesting that I wish they made it in every fabric and color. The interesting thing is, though I’ve seen it pop up in other stores now, but I’ve only seen them in basic solid colors.
SO, why not DIY a version. Stay tuned early next week and I’ll reveal my floral silk creation made from a silk scarf I purchased early this season (here’s a sneak peek!).
I love statement jewelry. It creates dramatic impact when paired with basics and at times, even becomes a conversational item at a party. Finding statement baubles that are not only luxurious to look at but high in quality can become very expensive. That’s why I wanted to share with you today my discovery of an online store based in Singapore (don’t worry, they ship internationally and the exchange rate is about 1 SGD to $0.80 USD/CDN).
Back in June I shared a DIY Inspiration post on Matching Print on Print. I have been longing to pick one up at the store, but lucky for me while cleaning my closet for the big move (I swear, it’s like shopping in my own closet) I came across an old floral tube dress I purchased years ago at Urban Planet. The dress was a little wee tight for me across the chest and to be honest, I’m generally just not a huge fan of tube tops and dresses. My DIY sensors were turned on and I had the perfect plan to transform my tube dress into a two piece matching cropped top and skirt.
Hello! I apologize for being so quiet the last few days, I’ve been a little wee bit swamped. Just a quick hello to share some of J.Crew’s amazing pieces from their Fall/Holiday 2013 Lookbook. If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you’d know that I’m a huge J.Crew fan (especially during the sale season). I love everything about J.Crew, not only their individual pieces, but the amazing job they do with styling their pieces.
Just a quick hello today! I can finally say I believe summer is here to stay (at least for the next few weeks). We’ve been experiencing a mini heat wave for the last few days. Dressing for the heat can be a little bit tricky especially when you want to stay cool yet classy. Sharing with you a few of my summer must-haves this season:
