I’ve talked about the puffed gathered sleeve trend before here and here, but I wanted to show that despite the statement sleeves, you can actually create a very simple look with it. The best way to do it is by wearing a puffed sleeve top with a pair of skinny jeans. The pair can be embellished…
Summer Classic: Blue Denim Mini Skirt
I’m back with another summer classic. The blue denim mini skirt has been around for quite a few decades and for good reason. It has the simplicity of jeans and can be worn with anything. It fits almost any style whether you lean more towards bohemian, grunge/rock, preppy, girly, etc. It’s actually really comfy. It…
Ducks and Big Sleeves
That time of year when newborn animals are around is almost passed, but there are still some late bloomers like this family (or possibly two families). I firmly believe that baby animals are adorable and I was thrilled to be able to get this group in my photos. They very helpfully swam back and forth…
Gloves as an Accessory
Gloves may not seem like an obvious choice when trying to accessorize an outfit, but I really enjoy using them. A great necklace or fun pair of earrings are go-to accessories and make getting dressed a breeze, but gloves provide another option that doesn’t seem to be employed that often. It seems…
Birthday Dressing and Trivial Diversions
So my husband got me helium-filled balloons on my birthday. And the reason he got me helium-filled balloons on my birthday is because I asked for them. I realize that this is not a common request for an adult and I felt a bit like a twelve year old (especially when my excitement made me…
A Foolproof Way to Wear Prints
Prints can be a bit more challenging to wear than solid colors, but they are a lot of fun. There are so many interesting options that they can really allow your personality to shine through. One way to style prints is to pair them with neutral colors like black and white. This will work most…
Hint of Spice: Sheer Floral Top and Faux Leather Leggings
To be honest, this top reminds me a bit of lingerie. It’s not a very strong similarity, but there’s just something about the sheer fabric and the loose flowing cut that makes me think of lacey things I may or may not wear for an at-home date night. I don’t mind though. If anything I…
Sakura: Peach Sweater, White Vest and Jeans
Toronto does not provide the best climate for Sakura trees. In 1959, 2000 of these beautiful trees were presented as gifts to the city on behalf of Tokyo, Japan. Since then, they have continued to plant additional trees. The blossoms are very delicate and while they bloom for up to two weeks, the cold climate…
In the Wind: Velvet Top, Floral Wrap Skirt, Plaid Shirt, Faux Leather Jacket and Ankle Boots
I knew as soon as I saw this wrap skirt that I needed to have it. It matched my style perfectly despite not being the easiest piece to style. I like incorporating it into a look with a rock-n-roll vibe like the one I’m wearing here. The black velvet top is a nice neutral way…
Red Tones: Plaid Shirt, Black Leather Leggings, Burgundy T-Shirt and Ankle Boots
I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays! This is always a wonderful time of year to spend with family or just to relax and get some rest. Whichever you chose, I hope all went well! This is an outfit I wore recently. I fell in love with this t-shirt as soon as I saw it due…
