A white nail polish that is chalk white is something that people tend to avoid. Brands are often frowned upon for creating such colors and they are often only purchased to be used as a base for something else. The white nail polish you see in this manicure embraced the often frowned…
Puffed Sleeves Top and Polka Dot Tights
This top has gathered puffed sleeves, which have been come back into style lately. Just like bell sleeves, this trend feels very romantic to me and I’m sure I’ll be wearing this top for years even if the trend will die as trends are prone to do. This is another one of these pieces that…
Voluminous: Gathered Sleeve Button-Up Blouse and White Jeans
I love large sleeves in my tops and dresses. It doesn’t matter whether they’re gathered or loose and flared, I love them all. Something about the look feels a bit medieval to me and as a lover of high fantasy, this is a time period that I romanticize quite a bit in my head. 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…
Snap Judgments: Cupcake Shimmery White Nails
I used a white with a shimmery clear polish as a background for these cupcake decals to make them really pop. I originally didn’t like this manicure, but it sort of grew on me over the first few days. I make it a rule not to judge things too quickly as first impressions can often…
Vests: Studded Vest, Sweater, Black Trench, Grey Boots and White Jeans
There are quite a few ways to make an outfit more interesting by adding layering or accessories like jewelry, a scarf or a belt, but adding a vest is one of my favorites. I’m a big fan and own several in a variety of neutral colors, though not necessarily neutral fabrics (I’m looking at you…
Coming Alive: White Crochet Sweater, White Jeans, Turtleneck, Statement Necklace and Tall Boots
This day marked the first time in a long time that I was able to walk around without some sort of jacket or warm vest outside. It was a perfect April day, a bit chilly but beautiful non-the-less. Unfortunately it snowed the day after, but you take what you can get and it was still…
Perfect Coat: Black Trench Coat, Black Tall Boots, White Jeans, Pink Hoody and Feather Scarf
I really believe that a black trench coat is almost as useful as a black blazer if you like to wear black. Trench coats look chic and elegant. Adding one to a look instantly elevates that look and makes it cooler in the same way that adding a black leather jacket to a look instantly…
Polar Bears: White Faux Fur Jacket, Cream Sweater, Bird Scarf, Jeans and Brown Boots
These faux fur jackets are pretty much the only ones warm enough for me to wear most days other than my long puffy coats. This white one is probably my favorite though and I kind of feel a bit like a polar bear when I wear it. It’s a lot of fun and looks great…
Eggs and Bunnies: Eggs and Bunnies Decals with Shimmery Golden Cream Polish Nails
I didn’t really do much for Easter since everyone just happened to be really busy, but I did do these nails to get into the spirit just a bit. Bunnies and eggs are on the cute side of the holiday and these are the elements I incorporated into this manicure. I ordered these decals a…
