                         I am still in love with wide brimmed hats. As summer begins winding down I am slowing pieceing together a wardrobe that will take me into fall/winter, and a solid camel hat was on my wish list.  I own a few similar hats from fast fashion stores, but I found…

    how to buy a vintage designer bag

                      In the past few months I have been looking into purchasing a new, smaller bag and trying to find something classic and somewhat affordable. My favourite cross body bags (Chanel boy bag and Celine Nano) were both several thousand dollars and therefore out of reach. At first I was set on…

                    In the scorching summer heat it can sometimes be a struggle to put together an outfit. The hotter it is less I want to deal with fussy clothes and the harder it is to create outfits I want to wear. So start with a simple white dress that floats around you…

    major blazer 

                    Nothing makes an outfit feel more official than a good blazer! Even something casual like this denim skirt and sneaker combo gets a little polish when paired with a more formal jacket. I’ve been seeing these button front skirts everywhere and am glad I picked this one up a few months…

    penny lane 

                 The 70’s trend was huge for spring and summer, and doesn’t look like it is going anywhere for fall either! This look definitely embraces that era, and actually had me excited about a rainy morning. Hard to believe but it was actually quite chilly so I paired my outfit with knee high…

    fall preview

                         Fall is probably my favourite season to play around with colour. Each year mustard and burgundy come out in full force to celebrate the change in temperatures and autumn leaves. Oversized sweaters are a staple in my wardrobe, and this particular cut from Zara is among my most worn. Usually…

    throwback

       It always makes me a little nostalgic for childhood when something like overall shorts come back into fashion. While these are certainly not my full length corduroy overalls I wore for grade two picture day, the clipping in remains the same. The key for me to not feeling like a little kid is pairing…

    how to roll any jeans 

            1) Double roll  Great for boyfriend jeans, the double roll looks casually cool and hits at a flattering spot on your ankle. Can be used on skinnies too – especially super long ones. I double roll the majority of my jeans, especially with sneakers or booties.          2) Half cuff  Best on…

    pumped up kicks 

                 I love the first few days of new shoes, especially brand new white sneakers. Fresh out of the box they are so bright and perfect! These are my new favourites. Because they are leather I sprayed them and hopefully can break my pair/year white converse cycle. Gonna try so hard to keep…

    how to dress for travelling 

                 If you’ve been reading the blog you know I’ve been in Toronto for work and to see my family for the past few days. It was just a short trip but meant two 5 hour flights in less than a week. Flying can be exhausting, so it helps if you are prepared…
