Camo, Olive & Pink & Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up

What does one wear when it’s raining? You’re pink rainboots, a light weight camo sweater and an olive jacket. This was my outfit on Monday. I love living in Vancouver, but I hate the rainy season with a passion!!!!! It literally rains for about 8 months. Basically once our heat wave ends, it can very quickly turn into Monsoon season. This was the perfect errand running, Kindergarten information session, take your child to dance practice outfit.

Jacket & Necklace (J Crew). Sweater (Loft). Jeans (RW & Co.). Boots (Joules). Purse (Fossil c/o The Bay). Earrings & Bracelet (Stella & Dot).

Vest + Tee + Jean Skirt + Sneakers + Statement Necklace = The Perfect Mom-On-The-Go Outfit & Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up

74 Replies

I absolutely love this outfit. I’m always looking for new ways to wear a simple t-shirt. As a busy mom, I tend to gravitate towards jeans and a t-shirt with either a blazer or cardigan. The other day I decided to spruce up a simple grey t-shirt with an olive vest, statement necklace, jeans skirt and converse runners. It was a chic, yet simple and most importantly comfortable outfit. I want to be comfortable when I’m running errands, especially when I’m with my son, yet I also want to feel good about myself and stylish.

What’s your favourite mom-on-the-go outfit?

T-Shirt & Jean Skirt (Gap). Vest (Banana Republic). Necklace (J Crew). Sneakers (Converse c/o The Bay). Purse (Fossil c/o The Bay). Watch (Michael Kors). Bracelet (Stella & Dot).

Favourite Fall Outfit & Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up

77 Replies

One of my favourite Fall outfits so far has been pairing a blouse with my boyfriend jeans and wearing them with booties. I was in a store and this lady complemented me on my outfit. It felt so nice. She said “I love your style!” It made me feel really good. Is that arrogant or conceited? Cuz it’s not like I feel like I’m this hot thing or anything, it just felt really nice to receive a complement from a complete stranger.

Favourite Summer Outfits

32 Replies

New post today!!!!! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!! If you follow me on Instagram, yesterday you got a sneak peak into today’s post. Since Summer still is in full swing here, I wanted to recap my favourite looks and items of the Summer. I owe today’s post to my wonderful husband, who made breakfast yesterday so I could blog, before we had to tackle some chores, shopping and a bbq at a friend’s place.

By far my favourite purchase and most beloved item of the Summer has to be my denim vest. At first I was reluctant to buy it. Wasn’t sure if I would get enough use out of it. Was I ever wrong!!! I wore it so much. It’s such a great layering piece over anything: dresses, skirts, shorts and the perfect completer piece. On Saturday I wore it to the zoo with shorts and a tank top, again can be seen on Instagram.

The next item that I couldn’t get enough of is dresses. Long or short, I wanted to wear them as much as possible, considering all I pretty much wear in the Winter are pants. Definitely my favourite style of dress is the Maxi dress. It’s elegant, simple, light and easily dressed up.

Shorts were also another favourite of mine, especially my cuffed denim ones and my printed ones. As you can see, a theme is emerging with my Summer outfits: denim vest!!!!! Like I wrote earlier, I just couldn’t get enough of it. Again like with the dresses, shorts also have a short life span here in Vancouver so I tried to wear them as much as possible. I loved wearing them with a top and blazer.

Last but certainly not least I can’t forget to mention my love of skirts. Over the years, I’ve acquired quite the collection. The sample below is only a fraction of the skirts I own. I love pairing them with a tank top and some bling. One of my favourite outfits, turned out to be one that I had never worn before. My striped skirt with a sleeveless polka dot blouse and my wedges. Sometimes experimenting pays off. I’m looking forward to wearing this combination more next Spring/Summer.

Which one is your favourite look? Gotta say it’s a tie between the polka dot blouse and striped skirt and my tulip dress and denim vest.

May this blog inspire you to experiment with what you have in your wardrobe. You’d be surprised at the outfits just waiting to be created.

Looking forward to showing you all my favourite Fall trends. You can follow me on Instagram to see my daily outfits, see what I’m up to and get sneak peaks into my favourite Fall trends.

How To Create An Outfit & Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up

78 Replies

Last week I needed to run to the grocery store and I was just going to put on a maxi dress and head out the door. Then it dawned on me that I could add a denim vest, my heart pendant and my cross-body bag to make my simple maxi dress into an outfit. Have you ever just walked out the door in simple jeans and t-shirt and then saw someone who added a necklace and blazer and thought wow, she sure looks put together??? That’s exactly what I was thinking as I was putting together my outfit. Why head out the door in a simple maxi when I can look and feel more put together??? It took me only a few extra minutes and I felt much better about myself.

Dress (Gap). Vest (Old Navy). Necklace (J Crew). Watch (Michael Kors). Bracelet (Stella & Dot). Purse (Fossil c/o The Bay).

The key to creating an outfit is to slowly build on it. Start with a blank canvas. In my case it was a simple maxi dress. Next step is to add a cardigan, blazer or a denim vest. The idea is to complete the look. You can also do that with a scarf, once the weather gets cooler. Next add some jewelry. A great statement necklace, bracelets, earrings, watch, hat, you name. The key is to add some subtle touches. Then add some cute shoes, in my case I decided on some sandals. I then completed my look with a cross-body bag. Again the purse can bring the entire outfit together. It may seem daunting but play around with your jewelry, with hats, scarves, purses, shoes. It’s exactly like dress up!!!!!!

The next time you’re putting together an outfit, consider adding some finishing touches like jewelry, hat, scarf, fabulous shoes or cardigan/blazer/denim vest to make an outfit out it.

Chambray & Stripes Day & Night

26 Replies

I got inspired for this next outfit by the lovely Carylee from More Pieces of Me. She styled a chambray top with a striped skirt. Love the result. So I decided to style my chambray and striped skirt 2 ways: one for the day and one for the evening. I’ll be honest I don’t have a job that requires me to wear heels, it really doesn’t require me to wear anything other than comfy scrubs and supportive shoes. So for me to wear this outfit with heels during the day is totally unrealistic. Imagine me chasing a toddler around the park in heels??? It would be quite entertaining to say the least I did, however, manage to come up with a very realistic day look for us busy moms chasing our kids around. For a day look try wear the chambray as a jacket over a graphic tee, converse runners and a cross-body bag. It’s still a polished look, but comfortable and realistic for a busy mom on the go. For an evening look try tying the chambray top, add heels, pearls and a colourful clutch.

Style it with a graphic tee, runners and cross-body bag

Top (American Eagle) Graphic Tee (JAC by Jacqueline Conoir). Skirt (Gap). Shoes (Converse c/o The Bay). Purse (Fossil c/o The Bay).

Style it with a simple knot, heels, colourful clutch and accessorize with pearls

Top (American Eagle). Skirt (Gap). Shoes (Aldo). Necklace (J Crew). Bracelets (Jacob). Purse (Kate Spade). Watch (Michael Kors).

May this blog inspire you to try pairing Chambray with stripes and see all the different outfits you can create.

I’m back!!!!! I took the past few days off because honestly last week’s craziness finally caught up to me. Now I’m back with a great post on styling a denim vest 3 ways and with my weekly Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up

When I was doing my building your Summer wardrobe series, I fell in love with the denim vest. At first I wasn’t sure how to style it and if I would be able to get my money’s worth, but let me tell you, the denim vest is like a cardigan or blazer. It’s the perfect completer piece. You can style it over a dress, over a simple t-shirt with leggings or over a t-shirt and maxi skirt. The possibilities are endless. It’s the perfect Summer wardrobe staple. Below are 3 ways I styled my denim vest:

Style it over a dress with runners, fedora and crossbody bag

Vest (Old Navy). Dress (Gap). Runners (Converse c/o The Bay). Fedora (Aritzia). Purse (Fossil c/o The Bay). Bracelet (The Bay).

Style it with a graphic tee, leggings and flats

Vest (Old Navy). Graphic Tee (JAC). Leggings (Jacob). Flats (Tory Burch). Necklace & Bracelet (Stella & Dot).

Style it with a maxi skirt, t-shirt and sandals

Vest & Graphic Tee (Old Navy). Skirt (J Crew). Sandals (Aldo). Bracelet (Henry Lou).

Below are 3 great options for a denim vest:

A while ago, I mentioned in one of my posts that I’m a bit hesitant on the whole animal print trend and that I would start by getting an animal print scarf.

Scarf & Cardigan (Jacob). Top (J Crew). Jeans (J Brand c/o Aritzia). Flats (Tory Burch). Necklace & Bracelets (Stella & Dot). Watch (Michael Kors).

Khakis 5 Ways

20 Replies

Before I get to my post, I just wanted to give a shout out to Alison from the Gap in Coquitlam Center. She recognized me in the mall a few weeks back. It felt a bit weird to be recognized. Do you guys feel weird? I’m always puzzled, afraid that they may not be a fan, but I have to remember not everyone will be.

I’ve never been a bit fan of khakis!! I think I still remember when the style was having front pleats on them and I can’t seem to get that image out of my mind, until these “feels-like-I’m-wearing-pyjamas” khakis. They are soft, fit well and like I said feel like I’m wearing pj’s!!!!! Khakis are the perfect transition piece to have in your wardrobe to take you into Spring. They are so versatile and come in a bunch of fabulous colours. One of my favourite ways to wear them is a t-shirt, cardigan and flats. You can also wear them with heels and blazer to dress it up or with a simple tee and runners for a casual mom-on-the-go look. Below are 5 great ways to wear these amazingly comfortable Khakis.
