Winter Favourites

Although winter is not entirely over, and it's still below zero in many places in the world. I'm luckily enough to finally buy tulips and transition out of winter. Here are some of my favourites for this past few months.

This season was all about the long structureless coats. I have a few from the season and I literally wore them everyday. They were my go-to pieces as they were not only warm, but they were also super stylish without even trying (who doesn't like to put in little effort, but get great results right?!). I really loved greys and beiges this season because they were different form black on black on black.

I was also obsessed with maroons and cranberries for the season. Theres someone about that colour that I love; probably the fact that you could wear it like a neutral colour. It's not bold like jewel tones, but not boring like you typical black and whites.

This was a season of black hats, sweater dresses, high necks, and booties. I've been obsessed with the  contemporary and modern look recently. As I get older, I'm more drawn to simpler pieces. Shapeless pieces are also much comfortable!

White Chocolate Mochas, penguin socks (cutesy christmas socks) and warm faux fur throws were a stable this season.

For beauty products: When I had the time to do my nails my go-to colour was either Red or a cranberry shade. I also discovered the Korres primer and can need live with out it. Unfortunalty, it is not at Sephora's in Canada, but possibly in a selection of Shopper Drug Marts!

Sunday is for Brunching (Pairing Colourful Pants)

I am definitely a breakfast girl. I love trying new places for breakfast and it is such a great time to share a few laughs with friends.

This pairing is inspired by the evergreen tress in autumn as well as the cute layers for the colder months.

I love pairing neutrals with any pop of colour and vice versa. Leather is such a great versatile piece for the cooler months, adding a touch of roughness and style.

My go-to tip for playing with colourful pants are using neutrals. You can never go wrong with whites, creams, greys and blacks. This is a subtle way to add colour, but not being extra bold or different.

Sometimes I like to pair bold colours with bold colours. They say opposites attract right? Well contrasting colours also pair exceptionally well together, even though they are on the opposite ends of the spectrum they are so different that they work. From this, you create an element of interest.

Prints also pair great when your playing with solid colours, textural elements can liven-up any outfit.

When you get to shoes, I love pairing colour pants with anything with straps (or shoes some skin). You are your own human canvas ;) and by wearing strappy shoes it makes the transition from colourful pants to shoes less harsh.

I hope these tips help, but at the end of the day fashion and style is about how we want to dress. It's not about following trends, its about how we want to express ourselves.

Rainy Days

Who said you have to bundle up and wear a raincoat on a rainy day? I personally don't even own a raincoat because the rain is no excuse to not wear anything cute!

Frizzy hair? No worries, thats why the invented cute fedoras right?

My go-to outfits for a rainy day is a long jacket and rain boots, and cute structured bag. I'm obsessed with off-white structure handbags as they go with almost anything! Cute rain boots gives you an excuse to bring out your inner child ;), I still love stomping in puddles.

A cute umbrella completes the look! If you're looking for a great umbrella, I'm obsessed with this Brellini one; however, if you're like me and you don't want to splurge a good old fashion one from Target will do.
