Kimono Kool
I bought this floral top from Forever 21 recently, and I like how it’s in a category on its own. It’s not a blazer, not a cardigan, not a silk boyfriend shirt – it’s kind of kimono-esque, but not fully. … Continue reading

Wild Horses
As soon as I saw this horse top at H&M I had to have it. I don’t even like horses, I just liked the pattern, colours, and material. I’ve since seen a number of gals wearing it around the city … Continue reading

So Happy Together
I was going to toss this dress to my swap party pile because it was getting boring, but then an outfit I saw on Lookbook.nu inspired me to accessorize it differently. I wasn’t sure about adding browns and tans with … Continue reading

White Hot
Toronto is setting record temperatures right now. We would be the country’s equivalent to Phoenix – hot and the sun is relentless. This is not a complaint, just a statement. The weather is amazing. I kept it cool this day … Continue reading
Nude and Glowing
The sun provided a nice glowing backdrop for my nude number yesterday. The last time I wore this H&M skirt I was freezing here. I cringe at the thought of wearing black tights. WORST. What a difference the heat makes. … Continue reading

Baby I’m Burning
I wanted to wear my Joe Fresh maxi dress to work yesterday, but the racer back isn’t office friendly, and it was far too hot for a blazer. Solution – I threw on my favourite billowy sheer top from H&M. … Continue reading
