Chic Business Casual

Transitioning from season to season can be a task in itself and difficult to dress for, with the differences in weather patterns. However, I love the transitioning period between spring and summer.

It's a great time of year to dress up, as you do not need to hide under bundles of war layers nor do you need to wear minimal clothing to bare the hot humid summer months.

This is a great time to play with patterns, textures and trends because its cold enough that you can get away with layering great pieces together and cold enough to wear strappy sandals and skirts.

I love timeless classy pieces because as I get older, I look towards dressing appropriately for a serious business world. As I demand respect and as I build a career, I'm empowered by my wardrobe and clothing choices. Through fashion and style I can dress to showcase my sophistication and intelligence. My playful colours illustrate my youthfulness, but my conservative garments exemplify that success is my objective.

As a 21 year old trying to construct a name for myself, the playful elegance of business casual illustrates to my peers that I thrive for improvement and that I strive for the best everyday.

Outfits 1 and 2 are very office appropriate, outfit 3 is a  classy spin on how to incorporating a corp top into a business causal outfit. Depending on the dress code, this may or mayn't be appropriate. However, it is a great piece for brunch with the girls!

Ottawa: Adventures in Canada's Capital

Recently, I packed my bags and ventured to the capital of Canada... all on my own. As a 21 year old, I was fortunate enough to discover and explore the beautiful city of Ottawa. I am a Sagittarius and based on astrology I am an adventureer. This I was, I love to experience what the world has to offer and in doing so I not only matured, but these experiences have enriched my life.

I can not stress enough how much this experienced has helped me grow and I highly encourage you to try to traveling alone or just travel in general. Our world is so big and filled with so many exciting and wonderful treasures. No photo can ever do a scenery justice.

I'd like to share with you some of the amazing places I was able to see this trip:

Th peace tower is obviously a must see! It is an amazing place to get a view of the whole centre block  and colonial government buildings.

One of the coolest things I was able to do is to see Parliament Hill from Quebec. 

When in Ottawa, I highly recommend the restaurant The Works as it is a cute little burger place that serves their drinks in measuring cups and use light bulbs as their salt and pepper shakers... weird right? But kind of cool at the same time!

Ottawa is a government town, and 'the' place to expand your knowledge of Canadian politics and see the daily routines of members in the government. There are daily tours for those interested in seeing the layout and details of this historical landmark. When parliament is in session, the public has an opportunity to hear the Members of Parliament speak and debate amongst their colleges. 

My favourite part about this trip was being able to explore everything on my own terms. This why I encourage you to travel on your own. Doing something that you are afraid of makes you grow. Lets be honest, I was definitely nervous about journeying to a place alone; however, now I can say that I have done it and the whole experience was immensely rewarding.

How To Wear Fringe

Happy

Trends come and go, and basics are always here to stay; however, I believe that life is too short not to experiment and try out trends and have fun with textures!

Fringe has been a trendy staple and has really made its way into modern fashion. It is such a cute twist on the boho-chic vibes, but as a girl that loves to take street-chic a little more class here are a few ways I'd personally style fringe.

A cute fringe skirt in a neutral colour is a perfect way to incorporate texture and wear this fringe fad. pairing it with with other neutrals down plays the 'statement' and actually makes the piece very wearable for a number of occasions. My rule of thumb when in doubt is opt for black. Black is so versatile but a monochromatic look is also very chic (it's like you tried, but you actually didn't).

Fringe accessories have been a must this season! From Aquazzura to Rebecca Minkoff, fringe is seen as such a statement item. A subtle way to add fringe into a casual outfit is to dress it up with a pair of fringe heels. However, if you want to keep it casual, fringe booties are a great pairing.

If the trend is too daring a top with subtle fringe details is a go-to for the unsure ;). Add some fun shorts or a fun blazer to spice up the outfit.

How do you wear fringe? I'd love to know!
