Happy Monday! I hope you had a wonderful weekend, mine was filled with good food, good wine, and a not so quick shopping trip across the border! I picked up some great treasures, everything was 50% off at BCBG!
Today’s DIY project was inspired by the Catbird’s gold knuckle ring. I love the simplicity of a single thin gold ring and of course when stacked with several others, creates an edgy yet girly look to any outfit (smitten by the way Jules worn them here).
I was so thrilled when Me to We Style reached out and introduced their organization to me. First off, they are locally based (I’m very supportive of local brands) and secondly, they are an organization that exists for a good cause. Founded in 2005, Me to We Style aims to provide 50% of their annual profits to offset administrative costs to Free the Children (the world’s largest organization of children helping children through education) while producing the finest quality sustainable garments.
Hello! Confession – I have a major obsession with nautical items. Especially anchors! You probably know about my obsession if you are following along on Instagram. Kyle (the BF) teases me and says I enjoy boating fashion more than actually boating itself. He may be right but really, how cute are these items! Not only am I obsessed with plastering anchors on myself, but I can’t wait to decorate our new home with a nautical theme. I’m thinking of dressing our guest room with stripe bedding and nautical details, I get giddy just thinking about it!
Happy Hump Day! Can’t believe it’s Wednesday already, it’s a short week for me due to the Canada Day holiday on Monday, I hope all my fellow Canadians had an amazing holiday celebration. Mine was fantastic for the most part, except it ended off with a really bad reaction to a mosquito bite on my eye lid!!! Think swollen eye a size of an hard boiled egg! To all my American readers, happy early Fourth of July!
Today’s DIY project is actually a re-do. A little while back I was SO excited when BuzzFeed (see the mini disaster here) approached me and asked me to participate in a DIY Summer Sandal challenge. Sadly to say, the photos didn’t turn out that well and my vision for this Jimmy Choo inspired Tassel Wrapped Sandal just didn’t come through on page the way I wanted it to. Therefore, I decided to re-shoot the photos for this DIY here we are.
Lately I’ve been inspired by golden tones. Perhaps it is due to the summer rays – giving me the natural golden touch. I love accessorizing with gold especially when summer attire seems to lean towards a more laid back and casual style. Adding gold makes any outfit feel more glamorous, rich and decadent. Of course if you go overboard, you may look like walking molten lava!
Just a quick hello and some inspiration for my (and maybe your) next DIY project. I’m loving the matchy-matchy print on print look lately. Something I hope to work on this week consist of reconstructing an existing floral dress into a two piece matching number.
Happy Friday lovelies! I am so happy to share this DIY Evil Eye Bracelet with you. It turned out fantastically and I’ve been wearing it everyday since I worked on it. This was so easy to do, inspired by a photo I saw on Instagram the other night. Since I made this, I started obsessing over Evil Eye jewelry and found this Evil Eye Ring Bracelet, how cute is that?!
If you can’t find the middle “eye” charm, feel free to use a circular shaped crystal charm to create the “eyeball”. It will have the same effect.
It’s been a while since I ran a giveaway/contest, I am very excited to run this shoe giveaway with CAT Footwear. CAT Footwear is a part of the Caterpillar brand, a leader of heavy equipment manufacturing. They have been marketing shoes and work boots under the Caterpillar name for nearly 20 years. More recently, CAT Footwear has expanded into stylish and functional women’s shoes, boots, and sandals.
I was very happy that CAT Footwear invited me to give their summer Criss Cross sandal a try – let me tell you, comfort and style are both priorities for me when it comes to footwear and the Criss Cross did exactly that for me.
Hi there! Happy Monday! It’s finally feeling a little wee bit more like summer in Toronto. Thought I’d start your summer off with this super easy DIY project. Definitely a project that you can make use of and I bet you also have all the materials at home ready for it!
One of the most worn items in my closet during the summer are denim shorts. I’ve got them in all shades of blue and different hem lines. Originally I was inspired to make my own denim dress from this post a week ago. I had big plans to find a men’s denim shirt and transform it to a denim dress but no luck at the Thrift Shop over the weekend. However, I was able to find a pair of jean overalls instead (surprisingly also fit me like a glove) and decided to transform them into this season’s overall/shortall trend (see here and here).
I love wearing statement necklaces! Sometimes they can get a little bit pricey. Either that or I can’t find exactly the style or colour combination I’m looking for. Therefore I decided to try my own Gold Beaded version. It was fun, simple, and cost me less than $5.00!
DIY necklaces are so much fun! Give one a try sometime! Use other beads, colours and combine with other findings!
