Style: Party Ready!

Heya! Spring is finally here and I'm getting a little anxious with the many special events and parties I need to attend over the next several months. Not only is my sister getting married in September and I'm her Maid of Honour, but I have several family, friend, and work events. I want to look and feel my best at all these events, without spending a fortune. That's why I was so happy to come upon this fabulous dress from H&M. 

Style: Flower Power From Sarah Stevenson + Target!

On March 23, Target stores across Canada launched a new line by Canadian designer Sarah Stevenson. This new clothing line was apart of Stevenson's Grand Prize for winning the Toronto Fashion Incubator's (TFI) New Labels Design Competition. I have always been a fan of Sarah Stevenson, and was thrilled to be a volunteer at last years New Labels show to see her win the coveted grand prize.

Style: Easy Glamour!

Heya! I've been feeling a little unglamourous over the last few cold grey weeks. The sun is getting brighter and days are becoming longer, so I've decided to bringing a little glamour into the next outfit I styled. I feel in love with the Diesel silk dress the first time I saw it. It has 3 details I love: it's purple, has a very low back-line, and a flattering fit (hides everything I want to hide).

My Style: Warm Winter Elements!

Now that the cold weather is here, I find myself dressing casual, with jeans and sweaters, more often. Sometimes it's hard to stay motivated to look stylish when I all I want to do is stay warm! The way to looking good while dressing warm, is to remember these 3 elements: statement accessories, layer in colour, and fashion forward knits, like this one I picked up at M for Mendocino a few months ago.

Style: Retro Purple Haze!

Heya! I was browsing in Joe Fresh recently and was pleasantly surprised with the cute dresses and skirts that are available, at amazing clearance prices. I fell in love with this dress as soon as I saw it. And when I tried it on, I knew I had to buy it, especially once I noticed it was on sale. The bodice fits perfectly, and I love the retro "feel" of the full skirt and cut of the dress. I also adore the pattern, and of course, the purple colour.

Style: Grande Sexy: Coffee + (Faux) Fur!

Heya! I don't normally post on the weekend, but this week has been so crazy hectic: trying to fit in work, holiday events, Christmas shopping, baking, and making a gingerbread house (yes, I made a gingerbread house), that I ran out of time to post on my blog! But I had to share this fabulous outfit I bought at Homegrown Boutique in Yorkville a few weeks ago. 

I've always wanted to stop by and check this store out, being a place that features Canadian designer fashions. Armed with a $50 gift card I received from Spark Sessions and a resolve to find a sexy and chic dress, I finally had an excuse to buy myself a Christmas gift. 

Style: Swag Style With Smart Set!

Heya! Have you been to +SmartSetFashion recently? I love the Fall and the new Holiday Collections. Full of rich colours, like deep burgundy and emerald green, charming animal prints, bedazzled and be-sparkled lace and beaded tops and skirts. All the items I tried on were so comfortable and fit amazing! It was hard to decide what to buy!

I fell in love with so many pieces that I decided to style two looks using the gift card I received as part of the swag bag from Spark Sessions, Canada's first and only Fashion and Beauty blogger conference.

My Style: Hot Burgundy Leather!

Marshall's Leather Jacket + H&M Dress Outfit

Two really hot trends right now, is the colour burgundy and anything made from leather. Put the two together in one garment and you have a very stylish and fashionable piece of clothing. 

 
I recently bought this burgundy leather bomber jacket at Marshalls for only $35! It's actually quite warm and matches my burgundy boots and GUESS purse perfectly. I wore all these pieces with a basic tank dress from H&M. To add some "pop" to the look, I added home made (not by me) knitted arm warmers and a bright green scarf, I picked up at last years National Women's Show, for only $5. 

Style: Looking Cool While Staying Warm!

Heya! With coat weather here, it can sometimes be hard to keep warm while still looking great. That's why I've come up with some great tips that help me to look cool while staying warm! Here are some of my tips: 

A fabulous coat is the first thing you need to create a fashionable look. Preferably a coat that does not hide your curves.
