Citron Summer Outfit

Pink Blush & Zulily Yellow & White Crochet-Accent Cutout Top $29, Old Navy Jean Relaxed fit Capris (Old), H&M Black Sandals $24, Steve Madden White Hobo Bag $49 , Ray-Ban Cyclamen Pink Mirror Cockpit Flash Lenses $170, Etsy watch (Gift)

I’ve received a lot of DMs regarding this outfit, so I decided to post it again to my Instagram feed and blog about it.

This outfit has an easy feel to it. The top from Pink Blush is airy and has enough style to instantly make it unique. That’s what I look for in any piece of clothing – original detailing that makes it different from any other piece of clothing in that category, whether it be the fitting, pattern, colour, stitching, cut and design of the garment, etc… Finding the right details is the key. Too much detail or the wrong detail could spell disaster. So, be cognizant of what flatters you the best and what parts you want to highlight.

Once you have that unique piece of clothing, then it’s super simple to add other pieces for any eye-catching and stylish Spring or Summer look. But make sure that the other pieces you are adding are simple basics. You never want more than two fashionable pieces to compete for attention. If you do have two pieces of clothing or accessories you want to flaunt, make sure that they compliment, not compete with, each other.

Finding your own personal style can be challenging, but with fashion consciousness and practice, you’ll be turning heads in no time. Well, that’s it for now. Until next time…

Happy Shopping!

Make a statement

Anne Emma Jewelry, Etsy $12.35 or less

It’s been too long since I last blogged, but I’m finally back. Today, I’m talking about making a statement – a statement with bling!

A classy girl can never have enough pretty baubles and jewels. My favourite shop for statement necklaces is Anne Emma Jewelry, a shop on Etsy. But there are many stores that have fabulous and divine statement jewelry, from necklaces, rings, bracelets, and earrings. The trick is knowing what your style is. Ask yourself, how far are you willing to garner attention? Then, once you’re clear on what you are willing to wear and your price point (statement pieces can get pricey), pay attention in stores to what they have and carry – the sizes, patterns, shapes, colours, quality, etc…Additionally, think about the outfits that you wear or have, at the same time that you are looking around.

From sparkling and shiny gems, to colourful beads or stones, a gorgeous statement piece is sure to make an outfit. As long as the statement piece is the only thing screaming for attention, and not competing against colour, pattern, or the style of the outfit, it’s sure to be a winner.

Amp up the most plain white t-shirt and jeans with the right statement necklace. Then, throw on a classic and tailored blazer. Pair this outfit with cute ballet flats or strappy sandals, if you are on the go, or match it with high-heel pumps or trendy wedge shoes, and you’re sure to look like a million bucks.

Easy style with a touch of bling will make any girl’s day a fab day!

That’s it for now. Happy Shopping!

A pop of pink

Soft Cuff Toque $20, Cabin String Mitt $36 from Roots Canada.

Old Navy Duffel Style Coat on sale for $38, Hunter Boots $130, Coach Bag $99, H&M Knitted Tube Scarf $12, H&M Sweater $56

I loved sporting this winter street style with a happy pop of pink. During the dreary winter months when all is covered in white snow, a splash of pink accessories just picks up my mood.

Bright coloured toques and strings on mittens are not just for my daughter. This toque sits perfectly on your head and slouches just right. I love that these string mittens make it easy for me to do what I need to do with my hands, without worrying about where to keep my mittens, and still giving me quick access for when I need to warm my hands up again. These string mittens are just unique and fun in their own right.

Go get them! Roots Canada has other colours available in both the toque and mitts.

Blanket Scarf Obsession

Blanket scarf bought on Etsy for $17.99. But on sheinside.com, they are available in a variety of colours and styles for under $15.

As you may have already noticed these blanket scarves are popping up as the latest winter trend. They are the fashion accessory to flaunt during this winter season.

Depending on your mood and the look you’re going for, the mere size of blanket scarves allows for you to style and wear them in different ways. Besides being practical in keeping you warm, it allows you to bring that cozy soft feeling of your favourite blanket from home, while creating a chic fashionable look at the same time.

I scored a great find by buying this super soft, top quality blanket scarf on Etsy that mimics the Zara tartan blanket scarf.
