Ballet Flats

I'm a late joiner to the ballet flats club but I'm happy to say I've joined and I'm in love. I'm typically a heels person since I'm only 5'2 but with being pregnant and my feet hurting, flats are just the way to go.

Flats can be super trendy without looking grandma-ish and go with a lot of outfits.

Here are a few great pairs that I think every women should have and enjoy!

How great would these be with a pair of skinny jeans or in the office with a grey or black pant?

I'd love these for the spring and summer. They'd be perfect with a white pant, shorts or an above the knee dress / skirt.

So tell me, have you jumped on the ballet flat bandwagon? Which pair is your favourite?



Emerald Green for 2013!

Are you loving Pantone's colour of the year as much as I am? Emerald Green is one of my favourite colours. When I was in Italy and France last December I saw it everywhere and fell in love immediately.

This is a great colour you can incorporate into many aspects of your life - fashion, decor & events!

Here are some fun examples of this fabulous colour.

Have I made you fall in love with emerald green? Will you be adding it to your life this year? I sure plan on it!



How To Tie A Scarf

I'm not a huge scarf person. I love them and have plenty but don't wear them enough. I'm not sure exactly how to wear them which is why I think I tend to stay away from them.

When I came across this I new I had to share it for all the other scarf wannabe's like me.

How do you usually wear a scarf? Do you have a secret way you tie it that you'd be willing to share?

What To Wear To Thanksgiving Dinner

It's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada and I'm super excited. The husband and I have two big family dinners we're attending on Sunday and Monday which means I need two outfits for this weekend.

Fall weather and fashion is my favourite. It's not too cold that you need to bust out your winter coat and not too hot that you're sweating while enjoying your dinner. It's just right if you ask me. Boots with a fabulous dress is my go to look.

Here are a few looks I think would work great for this long weekend.

A perfect outfit for a casual dinner with the family. How great are the boots!

 I love the skirt and necklace. Very fall and pretty.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Wedding Fashion

There is a whole lot of wedding happiness going on in my group of friends. My best friend is getting married in a few weeks and my other friend just got engaged over the weekend! Needless to say, we talk about weddings A LOT and I love it. One of my favourite wedding topics is fashion. The brides dress, bridesmaid dresses and attire for the guests.

You might have seen my post last week on wedding shoes and today I want to feature some wedding dresses for the guests. Depending on how formal the wedding, you can rarely go wrong with a fabulous cocktail dress.

I personally think this dress would be best suited in the fall or winter.

Hair 101

For the most part I'm a hair down kind of gal. When it comes to fun ponytails or anything of that sort I'm not good at them. I've yet to master the sock bun even though I've watched the online videos and read the tutorials. Thankfully my husband didn't notice how many of his socks I cut up one morning trying to figure it out :)

Whenever I see neat up dos on Pinterest I'm always intrigued. How hard can it be, really?  Check out these hair styles for your up-coming event.

You would for sure need a professional for this one but isn't it neat!

I recently cut my hair to my shoulders so this isn't something I could do. I personally am loving all the braids I'm seeing right now!

So tell me, what your go to hair style? Would you try any of these?



Style Alert.... Floral Pants

I did a post a while back about coloured denim and how the fad had grown on me. I'd love to own a fabulous pair of green ones but have yet to buy a pair. I've started to see a new trend on the rise, floral denim pants. Have you bought into this trend?

What do you think - is this a trend you're on board with? The first pair are my favourite! Which pair are you loving?

Sunnies!

With the amazing, unseasonly warm weather we've been having in Toronto I thought I'd touch on a summer must-have, sunnies! I'm always on the look out for a great pair of sunnies. I have a fabulous pair but a girl can never have too many pairs, right?

I've found these and have fallen in love. Tell me what you think.

Last Easter Post...FASHION!

Since I've tackled Easter Floral Arrangments and Easter Tablescape Ideas I think it's only fitting to cover what we should all be wearing to our respective family dinners this weekend. My mom is Greek so we also celebrate Easter next Sunday too. Three Easter dinners equals three Easter outfits!

Tomorrow we're at my in-laws for dinner. Sunday we're at my aunt's for dinner and next Sunday we're at my uncle's for dinner.

Here are some pieces that I think would be perfect for your family dinners this weekend!

Birks Spring Charms

Being Canadian, born and raised, means when I can, I love promoting Canadian businesses. I mean, we need to help our own, correct? Birks, a leading Canadian luxury brand of fine, stunning jewelry has pieces I'm always drooling over. Whenever I'm at Yorkdale or strolling Bloor Street I can't help myself but take a walk through the Birks store and imagine myself dripping in jewels!

If you know me you know I love pretty things. Whether it's makeup, a new pair of shoes or jewelery, I'm a girly girl and a lover of all things pretty. A couple weeks ago I received an email informing me about the new line of Birks Spring Charms and fell in love immediately. The charms are affordable, trendy and everything a girl could ask for!

Here are a few of my favourites that I think you will enjoy too.

Small Girl Silhouette Charm

This girl is adorable and a charm I'd love to have dangling from my wrist or neck.

Large Dog Silhouette Charm

Art Deco Collection

I adore everything about yellow gold and cannot wait to add this piece to my collection.

So enlighten me - which of these charms can you see dangling from your wrist or neck?

Girl Crush ~ Olivia Palermo

I have a serious girl crush on Olivia Palermo. From her fabulous wardrobe, amazing hairstyle and taste in jewellery, I just can't get enough. I don't think there's an outfit of her's I don't like. She's very trendy and always classy - something I try and aspire to. She's a risk taker with her outfits and in my opinion they all pay off!

Favourite Spring Fashion Trend

Happy Leap Year!

My favourite trend for spring is coloured jeans - I want a pair in more than one colour. They're fun, flirty and bright - just like spring should be!

They're perfect - you can dress them up or down with flats, heels, a casual tee or a flowy whimsy shirt. I'd love a pair of pink and green ones!
