Asymmetric Trench and a Classic Red Lip

Hey there lovelies! I found this trench coat during the Boxing Day sale at Banana Republic and it was like love at first sight. It is in collaboration with Olivia Palermo and she nailed it! I love how this is not your average trench coat; I'm obsessed with the asymmetrical hem line and the side button detailing. A bonus is the flared sleeves, in which I can wear ruffle sleeve sweaters under without it bunching up. This jacket is totally a statement on its own and can be an accent to complement a statement dress or top. 

Here are my outfit details:

Top: H&M - just a basic V-neck (similar here and here)

Coat: Banana Republic X Olivia Palermo (also love this one)

Bottoms: H&M

Booties: Zara (also love this pair and this pair)

Bag: 3.1 Phillip Lim Pashli Leather Mini Satchel

Earrings: Call It Spring (Dior inspired) (more options here and here)

Thanks for reading!

Sincerely,

Romance

I think romance is about the details. The the charming subtle details, and the feelings of admiration that go along with them. Romance is in the soft pinks and the delicate hues. The song of the soul and the love for life itself. Romance is the inner tender vulnerability of oneself.

February is the month to celebrate love, wether you have a significant other or not. I like taking this time to reflect on things I love or admire. I feel like there is too much emphasis on love between two people, but rather we should take this time to celebrate love for humanity and love for ourselves. If you have followed me for a long time, you'd know that I place much emphasis on independence and appreciating oneself (through reflection, gratitude and treating oneself). I feel that this takes away the commercialization of love and relationships and creates a deeper meaning we can all appreciate.

Here are My outfit details:

Dress: Club Monaco (also love this one and this one)

Coat: Club Monaco (similar here and here)

Tights: H&M

Bag: Chloe

Booties: Forever 21 (similar here and here)

Ring(s): H&M (similar here); Oak + Fort (also love this and this)

Romantic Fringe and Dark Layers

Hey there lovelies! Happy Wednesday! It was a perfect makeup day -- Don't you just love those?!

Can we just take a minute to admire this beautiful sweater from Club Monaco? I love it so much, that I happen to own it in two colours. I have always been a huge fan of subtle feminine details and the top does not disappoint. I have been loving the feather/fringe trend for seasons now and I have yet to score the perfect feather skirt, but this sweater is fulfilling my feather desires. 

I love scoring finds like these because it adds something unique and girly to my wardrobe. It is simple enough to be worn under a wool coat and black denim and can be totally dressed with a pencil skirt and heels. I love how it adds an element of texture, without making the outfit too glam. The brown Chloe bag adds a perfect touch of earthy tones to make this look more casual. 

Here are my outfit details:

Top: Club Monaco 

Coat: H&M (similar here and here)

Blazer: H&M (similar here)

Bottoms: Forever 21 (distressed it myself) (similar here)

Booties: Zara (also love these and these)

Ring(s): H&M (similar here); Oak + Fort (also love this and this)

The Ultimate Leather Jacket

Hey there lovlies! Lets talk about leather jackets.

I think that a leather jacket is a must have in every girl's wardobe. Its versatility and timelessness makes it not only the perfect staple year round, but it also is the perfect layering piece to edge up and outfit. My favourite cut is the biker style; due to its masculinity and edgy details, it is the perfect contrast to feminine dresses and skirts (we all know how I LIVE for that perfect skirt).

I personally own my fair share of leather jackets, all in different styles. My favourites are, but not limited to, an aviator style weather jacket (shown here); a fitted biker jacket; and an oversized biker jacket (as shown in this photo story). I am also a huge fan of a jewelled-tone biker jackets as well as velvet ones to add some interest to an outfit. Leather jackets are a comfortable layer as well as an item that adds character to an outfit. I've fallen in and out of love with them throughout the seasons as my style has changed, but they have always remained a staple. 

Here are some of my favourites.

Affordable Finds (under $100 CAD) : Dynamite - Forever 21 - ASOS - Forever 21 - H&M - ASOS

Luxury Favourites: Mackage - Nordstrom - AllSaints - ASOS - AllSaints - Mackage - Madewell -
