Style Tip

We are just over a month away until we head off to our honeymoon! I’m so excited to take some time off and spend some time with the hubby! It was a tough decision in terms of picking our locations for our trip, but after several elimination rounds, we finally decided to tour a few European cities. I’m so excited to explore Prague, Budapest, and the Greek Islands of Mykonos and Santorini, and finishing up with a pit stop in London.

With several cities on the docket and two weeks away from home, packing for this honeymoon will certainly require some thinking through. On one hand I want to pack a variety of clothing items to suit every (un)foreseeable situation, but on the other hand, I also want to reduce the amount of bags to avoid additional baggage fees. Decisions, decisions.

Happy Friday! Today, I’m sharing a snippet of my latest contribution on Titika’s blog! I love Titika‘s collection of “active couture” wear that never fails to bring me from work, to the gym, and to cocktail hour. Their collection of items are extremely comfortable and embellished with feminine details that I always have me at hello! Here is a short excerpt from the post, be sure to check out the original full post for more tips and suggestions on bringing sexy to the studio!

I’ve got a thing of furry, comfy, beautiful boots. Manitobah Mukluks is one of my favourite brands to shop for warm boots. Admittedly, I’ve got a few pairs. Aboriginal-owned and…

Hope you had a great weekend! I apologize for being a tad quiet last week. I was in Boston for a work conference and it occupied my time more than I’d hope! I’m back to normal schedule this week and looking forward to bringing you some great posts! Fall is upon us and I am thrilled to stock my closet up with booties galore! For some reason, I’m always on the search for the perfect ankle boot, aren’t you?

Ankle boots are a must-have in any season, but they’ve really come into their own this year. Managing to straddle the line between sophistication and edginess, ankle boots are able to take you from a casual daytime look to a night out on the town. Choose a pair with a killer heel to wear to the office or a dressed down pair of motorcycle boots for weekend lounging. You’ll have plenty of ankle boots to choose from this fall, but the following are a few key trends to be on the lookout for.

Bonjour! I hope you had a fabulous weekend! I was vacationing in Boston last week and it was a super unforgettable trip! Kyle asked me to marry him during a romantic gondola ride. I was so surprised and it was a magical moment for us. I can’t wait to start planning our special day but we’ll take the rest of August to enjoy our time as a newly engaged couple, so exciting!

Now, back to this post! Last week, I shared some photos from my Shop for Jayu FW 2014 look book shoot. As promised, here are the remaining photos which by far are my most favourite. Since visiting Paris for the first time earlier this year, I have fallen in love with the Parisian culture. I put together this concept as how I imagine my perfect “day in Paris” to be. What can beat a day strolling through the Eiffel Tower with french macarons in hand sporting a beautiful outfit and a SUPER DUPER high top bun (thanks to the most talented Allison Kam)?!!!

For the life size DIY Eiffel Tower, I literally took a paint brush, some black paint and scribbled it on the back side of a roll wrapping paper. I loved the way it turned out, it totally pulled everything together. This would be a perfect addition to a Parisian themed bridal shower or party!

I’m so excited to share this video with you today! Sally from Shop for Jayu and I teamed up to bring you this video in preparation for our Spring Cleaning Event this Saturday on April 26 at Get Gelled Nailed Bar. I had the pleasure to visit Get Gelled over the weekend and got pampered by the ladies behind Get Gelled (they made my nails so pretty!). They are so talented with nail art design and I can’t wait to go back this Saturday for more! If you’re in the Toronto area, come shop the Shop for Jayu collection at up to 40-70% off and meet me from 1-5 p.m. to learn some of ‘my little secrets’!

I hope you enjoy this sneak peek of styling and DIY secrets on how to refresh and renew your jewelry box. Watch my first video debute now!

One of the best ways to add colour to your wardrobe is definitely accessories. I love a big colourful statement necklace and bracelets to add colour to glam to what may be a basic outfit. Even a simple white blouse and denim can dressed up with a sparkly statement necklace or chandelier earrings, the options are just endless! If you don’t have the budget to acquire too many pieces, a great way to change things up is to layer multiple pieces or transform them into new ones (that’s the DIY DNA in me speaking to you).

If you’re interested in adding new beautiful accessories to your Spring wardrobe at a fraction of the price, swing by at Shop for Jayu’s Annual Spring Cleaning Event where you can save 40-70% off! I’m so thrilled to be hosting this event with Shop for Jayu at Get Gelled Nail Bar on April 26. I’ll be showing shoppers how to REFRESH & RENEW their jewelry box by layering pieces, wearing them in multiple ways, and applying some simple DIY skills to create new looks!

March has arrived! Which means we’re just another step closer to Spring, though the only thing that’s feeling like Spring lately are my tulips are fabulous Spring look books! Today, I’m sharing some darling pieces from Joe Fresh‘s Spring 2014 collection. There is something for every occasion and the price points are just ridiculous (ridiculously affordable that is!).

You know the feeling of a kid in a candy store?! Well… that’s how I feel about shoelery by erica giuliani shoe clips! Genius idea, super cute, and uber versatile. I am totally smitten by these two pairs of bow shoe clips I got from shoelery and have been brainstorming different ways of wearing them since they arrived.

Of course the simplest way to wear these shoe clips is to clip them to the front of your heels or flats, but I decided to try a couple of alternatives to show you just how versatile they are.
