Floral Dress 4 Ways

This dress has very quickly become one of my favourites and everyone else’s. I have never received so many compliments as I have as when I wear this dress. I recently wore it to a blogger event and to our Family pictures. Great hit everywhere. So today I’m going to show you four great ways to style this amazing dress. It’s the perfect dress to transition into Fall. Wear it with booties and a denim vest, or booties and a blazer for an evening look. You could even wear it with tights, belt, boots and cardigan for Winter.

Style it casual with sandals for a day look

Dress (Club Monaco). Sandals (Aldo). Necklace (My Name Necklace). Watch (Michael Kors). Bracelet (Stella & Dot).

Style it with booties and denim for a Fall look

Dress (Club Monaco). Vest (Old Navy). Boots (Fergalicious). Bracelet (Stella & Dot). Watch (Michael Kors). Necklace (My Name Necklace).

Style it with dressy booties and/or blazer for a night out look

Dress (Club Monaco). Blazer (Gap). Booties (Aldo). Purse (J Crew). Bracelet (Stella & Dot). Watch (Michael Kors). Necklace (My Name Necklace).

May this blog inspire you to transition your favourite Summer dress into Fall. As you can see it’s very easily transitional.

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.

Berry Picking at Krause Farms & Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up

81 Replies

It’s been on my bucket list to go berry picking with my son and last Wednesday we not only went, but we had a blast. Gotta say my son is better berry picker than I am We had so much fun!!!!!! My husband is coming with us next time to pick some raspberries. We went to Krause Farms, located in Langley. At Krause Farms it’s about much more than berry picking. You can enjoy some wine tasting, have a yummy waffle breakfast, enjoy their amazing milkshakes and corn pizza. They also have a store where you can purchase vegetables (their corn is honestly the best I’ve ever had), home made pies, honey, syrups, and yummy donuts. My husband quickly figured out that my trip was about much more than berry picking. It was about food. It usually is about food, for me anyways. There are still quite a lot of berries left for picking, so if you want, make your way to Krause Farms.

I love that once you arrive, you wait for a very small school bus and it takes you to the blueberry fields, where someone greets you and gives you your own row of berries to pick from. I basically just held my bucket underneath the bush and watched plump, juicy blueberries fall into it. My son was a great picker. He not only picked just ripe berries but he didn’t eat any. Very proud of him. He also ended up filling up his basket completely, all by himself. Lots of fun was had by both of us. We are really excited to go back with my husband and enjoy the waffles.

All the amazing fruit we picked!!!!!

Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes. I had a wonderful birthday weekend. I’ll post more about it on Thursday.

The weather has kind of cooled down so yesterday I wore my maxi dress with a denim vest. It wasn’t cool enough for a jacket, the vest was perfect. So the next time you’re finding that you don’t want to wear a cardigan or blazer, try adding a denim jacket to your outfit. It’s a great way to change up your look.

I Feel Pretty & Style To Inspire Link Up

I wore this outfit last Wednesday and I’m not sure but I felt very pretty wearing it. I’m not trying to sound vain, but it did. I think it’s the colour of the skirt and how you can twirl in it. I felt very feminine, girly wearing it. Anyways do you guys ever wear something that makes you feel pretty?

Maxi Skirt Day To Night

62 Replies

It’s no secret that I absolutely adore anything maxi related: dresses, skirt, I’m in love. For today’s post I decided to show you how you can take a day look and make it into a night one. One of my favourite ways to wear my maxi skirt is with a simple white tank top, sandals and simple necklace. A great way to make it into a night look is to change your sandals to heels, add a statement necklace, blazer and clutch and you’re set to go. It’s an easy way to quickly change up your outfit from a day look into an evening one. You can also change up your make up by wearing a bright lip or smokey eyes.

Style it with a simple white tank top, sandals and tote for a day look

Top (Gap). Skirt (J Crew). Necklace (My Name Necklace). Sandals (Aldo). Purse & Watch (Michael Kors). Bracelet (Stella & Dot).

Style it with a statement necklace, blazer, clutch and heels for an evening look

Skirt (J Crew). Tank Top (Gap). Blazer (RW & Co.). Heels (Aldo). Necklace (J Crew). Purse (Kate Spade). Bracelet (Stella & Dot).

A maxi skirt is the perfect addition to your Summer wardrobe. It’s an easy piece to wear and to style.

May this blog inspire you to purchase a maxi skirt and see how you can take it from a day look into a night one.

The Perfect Summer Face With Skoah

29 Replies

I mentioned in my post about the Vancouver Top Mom Blogger celebration that the Vancouver based skin care company Skoah was there. I was pleasantly surprised that not only are they a Canadian company, but that they are located here in my backyard. What drew me to reach out to Skoah was that their products are natural! They state that they use paraben free preservatives. I try my best to use as natural face products, make up, nail polish as possible. Today I’m teaming up with Skoah to show you the perfect Summer face.

Skoah kindly sent over 3 must have beauty products for the perfect summer face: Chiik Tint blush, Super Gloss lipgloss and Illuminated Perfecting Tint.

I used these products for the first time on Saturday and I was pleasantly surprised. I’ve never used a tinted moisturizer before and I love how it left my skin glowing, giving it the perfect dewey look. I rubbed the cream blush on the apples of my cheek leaving a subtle hint of colour and then finished off my look with a coloured lip gloss. I like that the lip gloss has some colour and that it doesn’t leave your lips feeling sticky. I hate it when my lips literally stick together from the gloss. I also like that all 3 items don’t wear off quickly. As a busy mom, I don’t have time to reapply make up through out the day.

I like to keep my make up simple in the Summer, especially when it gets super warm. For this look I kept my eyeshadow simple, added eyeliner, mascara, used Skoah’s tinted moisturized, added a powder to set it, then added Skoah’s blush and finished off the look with Skoah’s lipgloss. I love the final result; simple sun-kissed look. I still feel made up without feeling like my makeup is heavy.

On Monday I also used Skoah’s make up and here is the finished look:

Vest (Old Navy). Dress (Gap). Necklace (My Name Necklace). Bracelet (Henry Lou). Sandals (Aldo). Purse & Watch (Michael Kors).

May this blog inspire you to check out Skoah‘s skincare line and put together your perfect sun kissed look.

Chambray Shirt 2 Ways

37 Replies

A chambray top is not just for Winter/Fall. It’s the perfect top to wear as a layer over a tank top or to wear with shorts. The way I look at Chambray, it’s like a neutral piece that goes with pretty much anything in your wardrobe. Try wearing it with a skirt and heels for a night out or with leggings and over a tank top. Below are 2 ways I like to style my chambray shirt:

Style it with a maxi skirt skirt and tank top

Chambray Top (American Eagle). Tank Top (Gap). Skirt (J Crew). Sandals (Aldo). Purse (Fossil c/o The Bay). Bracelets (Stella & Dot). Necklace (My Name Necklace).

Style it with shorts and sandals

Top (American Eagle). Shorts (RW & Co.). Sandals (Aldo).

As you can see a chambray shirt can be worn alone or use is as a layering piece. It’s extremely versatile and will make a great addition to your wardrobe.

May this blog inspire you to purchase a chambray shirt and see all the different outfit combinations you can come up with.
