Spring 2013 Trends - Ruffles

Dress: BCBG (similar by MSGM, and loving this one shoulder version too!). Handbag: Coach. Shoes: Nine West (U.S. link) (Canadian link). Watch: Michael Kors. Rings: Coach. Sunglasses: Chanel.

 

When I was uploading these photos, I realized that I’ve been wearing a lot of pink and yellow over the last couple of weeks (as seen here and here).  Probably because this colour combination screams “Spring”, and I’m so ready for Winter to be over.  I’m loving any shade of pink with yellow right now, including pastel pink and the dress that I’m wearing in these photos which has more of a coral hue.

 

These photos were taken last week in Old Town Scottsdale, Arizona.  It was so nice to bust out the summer wardrobe, and it really put me in warm weather mode.  I’ve decided that I’m officially done with wearing pantyhose or tights until next Fall.  I might regret that decision tomorrow when our temps will be near the freezing mark, but I’ll stay strong.

 

Despite the cold weather, I’m really looking forward to this weekend.  My parents and brother are coming to Toronto for a visit, which means a great few days full of family, fun and food.  Do you have any big weekend plans?  I hope you all have a great one!

Some of you may have seen on Instagram that I’m currently in Scottsdale, Arizona.  I’m pretty lucky that my work sent me here to take a marketing course.  Justin has never been to Arizona, so he tagged along with me, and while I’m stuck in a meeting room all day, he’s sipping margaritas by the pool and enjoying the desert air.  Okay, I can’t complain. . . we tacked on a few extra days to the trip so I could enjoy the beautiful weather and sightseeing too.  I’ll share some pics soon.

 

I also want to mention that I had the honour of being featured in Framework Magazine’s April Blogger Panel. Framework is a fabulous online magazine dedicated to the essential elements of stylish living.  Thanks Framework!

Toronto Fashion Week: Flower Power and Vawk

Coat: ASOS. Blouse: Zara (love this similar blouse). Jeans: H&M. Shoes: Boutique 9. Handbag: Balenciaga. Watch: Michael Kors. Rings: Coach, Kate Spade. Sunglasses: Chanel.

 

Is it totally annoying if I say I felt like a million bucks in this outfit?  I usually don’t feel my “prettiest” in casual outfits or jeans, but there is something about this outfit that made me feel like I was invincible.  And that “something” was my coat.  I often get very passionate about my clothing purchases, and my thought is that if I don’t absolutely love something, then why would I buy it?  Well, this coat goes beyond “love” for me.  This might just be one of my all-time favourite pieces in my wardrobe. . . ever!  It’s actually too pretty for me to tuck away in my closet, and I’ve been hanging it on the outside of my closet door for the last month so I can stare at it every time I walk in there.

 

I purchased this floral stunner in January and was waiting for just the right moment to wear it.    Well, what better moment than Toronto’s World Mastercard Fashion Week!  And, what a good decision that was.  The day I wore this also marked the first time that anyone has ever asked to take a photo of my outfit.  Fun, right?!  My look was actually featured on the website of my favourite city magazine, Toronto Life!  So exciting!  Ummm, but please ignore the painfully awkward look on my face. . . you can tell I was completely uncomfortable yet overly thrilled during this moment.  Thank you, Toronto Life!

 

I wore this outfit to Day 4 of World Mastercard Fashion Week.  My favourite collection of that night was the Vawk Fall 2013 show.  Vawk is the luxurious ready-to-wear line by Sonny Fong, who was the winner of  Project Runway Canada Season 2.  The collection, titled “Nordic Fauna,” was inspired by Scandinavian minimalist design as well as classic winter hunting gear.  The coat below, with the sheer pleated side, was simply stunning. . . definitely a piece I would love to own.  Click here to see the entire Vawk Fall 2013 collection.

Horse of a Different Colour

Top: H&M. Skirt: Betsey Johnson. Handbag: J.Crew Edie. Shoes: Boutique 9. Necklace: ASOS. Watch: Michael Kors. Rings: Kate Spade Bow Ring, Ardene. Bracelets: Stella & Dot, BCBG, J.Crew, Forever 21. Sunglasses: Chanel.

 

If clothing is more than 10 years old, can it be considered vintage?  Well, I’m going to say yes, and say that this is a vintage Betsey Johnson skirt that I’ve had for at least a decade.  Vintage just sounds so much more chic than old.
