These photos were snapped a few weeks ago (thanks to my dear friend Joelle of La Petite Noob) and I didn’t get the chance to post them until now. Admittedly speaking, I was subconsciously convinced that winter was over and most of you wouldn’t be too interested in this casual cold-weather outfit. But guess what, the warmer climate had me totally fooled and looks like we’re not escaping the chilly temperatures just yet!
TGIF friends! Weekends are reserved for fun outfits just like this playful combo I sported last weekend to Sunday brunch at FIGO (OMG YUM!). I’m totally loving the 70s trend comeback and decided to channel it by adding these cognac fringed suede boots to my winter style. Now, 70s and flared denim jeans typically go hand in hand but since I wanted to show off my new ‘fringe’, I opted for a criss cross tied denim tunic dress instead. I’d say I made a pretty good choice!
I’m also super excited to share that I’ve been invited back as a LE CHÂTEAU Shoe Ambassador for a second year! I’m really looking forward to bringing you another 12 months of trendy shoe vibes and great finds from LE CHÂTEAU!
To celebrate another year of great shoe picks, I’m giving one lucky reader a chance to win a $150 LE CHÂTEAU gift card!

I just can’t believe how warm (relatively speaking that is) it has been in Toronto! Call me crazy but I managed to wear open toe sandals over the first weekend of December. Amazing, right?!
For my final Le Chateau shoe pick of 2015, I opted for a festive, sparkly pair of sandals that not only got me through my weekend’s casual attire, but will sure be taking me through the upcoming holiday parties. These Jewelled Satin Strappy Sandals ($69.95) are the perfect fit and height. And as you can see, they can elevate any outfit from sweaters and jeans to cocktail party dress paired with opaque stockings.
Have you picked up some new holiday statement pieces for your upcoming celebrations yet?!
Happy Friday friends!! A super short post today, sharing my October shoe pick at Le Chateau. I can’t believe it’s been 10 months since joining the Le Chateau Shoe Ambassador team. As I mention every month, I LOVE their shoe collection and each pair I’ve picked up has become a personal favourite. This month, with the Fall season in full swing, I picked up a pair of Italian Made Over-the-Knee Suede boots. These bad boys were under $200, such a great alternative to the others on the market. These boots are totally made for walking, with the perfect heel height and may I add, just the right about of ‘pointy-ness’ on the toe. LOVE THEM! Oh, not to mention, they are suede from and elastic back, so those of you that have a wider calf, may find this a very good option!
During my visit to Le Chateau, I also stumbled upon the PERFECT Blanket Scarf. I find it hard to create the perfect wrap, that’s not too bulky and not too skimpy. This scarf has a slightly narrow design at the ends, which makes the perfect wrap!
I hope you guys are enjoying the cooler months with the perfect wardrobe!
Greetings from Prague! A super quick post today to share a glimpse of the first stop of our honeymoon in Prague. This city is beautiful! The architecture is incredible and every sight is breathtaking. During our stroll through Old Town, we wandered into a quiet alleyway and took a break from the busy streets. It was surreal to be tucked away while thousands of visitors were just seconds away.
I was so glad to pack my September Le Chateau shoes with me on our trip. These suede pointy toe bow ballerina flats are so comfortable, lined with cushions and equipped with rubber soles. They are also very flexible and lightweight which make it really easy to store away in luggage. Oh, they also come in a burgundy red which is THE colour for Fall.
What types of shoes do you typically pack for your travels?!
Happy Monday! So glad the heat returned this past weekend and looks like its staying awhile longer! Though the thought of Fall saddens me because I know that means Winter is just around the corner. But, the best thing about Fall is Fall Fashion! So many rich colours and textures have already arrived in stores and as much as I’m trying to hold onto this Summer heat, I’ve already started with my Pre-Fall fashion.
First item I added to my Fall wardrobe are these suede burgundy coloured heels from Le Chateau. I love them and totally going back from the taupe coloured option! Besides the perfect colour and heel height, I particularly love the rubber soles which certainly adds to the comfort level.
And just back in time for Back to School (though it’s been a decade for me!), how super cool is the idea of a leather lunch clutch?! I’m sporting the Croc-Grand Modern Mary lunch clutch, equipped with water resistant lining and a removable utensil pouch perfect to pack for your lunch or NOT!
I reserve the color red for special occasions. Earlier this week, we marked the first month of our marriage, and this obviously calls for a celebratory red dress (10% off entire purchase with promo code NATxTDJ)! I love this dress’ combination of peek-a-boo lace, cut outs, and a flirty circle skirt. It’s a great pairing of sweet and sexy. I also managed to pick up this pair of Brazilian-made Metallic Gladiator Sandal as my July shoe pick from Le Chateau (umm, hello, gorgeous!). It will definitely be perfect for my short trip to Vegas this weekend!
Kyle and I decide to wait until September to go on our honeymoon, but we did manage to take a few days off after our wedding and spent quality time together, hanging in the city, at the beach, and spending plenty of time with family and friends. On Saturday, we’ve nearly exhausted our list of things to do. I finally suggested to hop on a streetcar with no plans in mind and see where the day takes us. Our first stop was Toronto Harbourfront, continued with food and drink overlooking the water, admiring a 60 meter luxury yacht, and later, a spontaneous meet-up with some friends – it was the perfect unplanned day of fun. We make so many plans in our day-to-day, such a refresher to let the day plan itself. Try it sometime!
There are a few things I absolutely adore about summer – sun dresses, sandals, and visiting the beach. On summer solstice, we decided to take a quick stroll by the beach in between all our outstanding wedding errands. Totally glad we took a quick break and also gave me the excuse to sport my recent Joe Fresh summer hat DIY!
I managed to add a few new favourite items to my summer wardrobe recently, including this super fun pink lips print tube dress from The Dancing Jewels inspired by the original Alice McCall version and also a pair of SUPER comfortable wedge sandals from Le Chateau. I love how fun this dress is and pairing it with a wedge sandal is the perfect match. I am smitten by all the items from The Dancing Jewels, they carry an amazing array of unique dresses, inspired by many designer options that are both super hard to find in stores, and they are a fraction of the cost. I can’t wait to show you the other two pieces I got! Use promo code NATxTDJ for 10% off!
Hi! I managed to snap a few pictures just before sunset of my bridal shower outfit. My bridal party and sister threw me the perfect shower, I can’t wait to share more photos with you! Believe it or not, I purchased this lavender eyelash dress (sold out) back in February for my shower when I was visiting one of my favourite stores in New York, Necessary Clothing. Let’s just say, the moment I saw it on the rack, it was love at first sight. I love the delicacy of eyelash lace and have since acquired several other pieces (also wore this two piece crop top and scalloped lace skirt number for my Bachelorette party).
With the perfect dress, I was on the hunt for the perfect shoe and so glad I ended up with these Le Chateau leather lace up sandals. If you’ve been following along on Instagram, I mentioned that these were on my feet for nine hours long and I was still walking with no pain! Since becoming a Le Chateau Shoe Ambassador, it’s been my go-to place to find the perfect leather shoes. Many of you have asked me about the quality and make of their shoes, trust me when I say their LUXE collection is totally worth it. With the arrival of wedding season, Le Chateau has also curated an awesome Wedding Boutique for guests and bridal party.
