Purple lips


Hello guys, I hope you're having a wonderful month. I wore my favorite caramel coat to have dinner and catch up with a friend of mine a few weeks ago. I've had this coat for quite a while and i'm pretty sure you're used to seeing it by now. I got mail from a reader asking to purchase it off me but until I'm able to find another, this is not leaving my closet anytime soon. With that said, right after this blog post I will be uploading items ready for purchase on the 'Shop my Closet' tab of this blog.

This hair install was my first brazillian hair install and I loved every part of it. I had it in for two months and the hair still felt like new. The length of the hair varied between 22-16inches and if you're looking for some to purchase, contact me for a discounted quote.


This lipstick has turned out to be so much fun to wear. The hesitation to try it out was huge but eventually caved. It's a mix of the 'wet n wild' 919B (vamp it up/style vamp) and 'cover girl' TrueShine 485 (watermelon shine).

Snow behind me...

Hey guys, I hope the new year is treating you well. So I mentioned in the last post that it would be cute to turn that summer look into somewhat of a winter look with a leather jacket and a bootie...and this is it. I did forget to put on my black unity scarf to finish off the look...that's what happens when one (me) fails to plan the outfit ahead of time, smh. 
Dress: ebay// Jacket: h&m 
I have finally been bitten by the instagram 'bug' and you check it out here for more posts that don't make it on the blog...
..it was freezing out there and no i'm not used to the crazy Canadian winter just yet. We actually had a polar vortex experience last week...not cool.
Thanks for reading and have a blessed and wonderful rest of the week, xox.

All white + skin


Hello guys, so I was searching through my many photos for posting and found these shots we took in the summer in much warmer and happier times near Square One (I'm sure most of my 'Toronto-nian' readers know exactly where that is). This chiffon dress was purchased on eBay (which has some of the cutest pieces by the way) and its turned out to be one of my go-to dresses. The dress has the 'winter white' thing going on already so I might as well create a winter look with it by dawning some fleece lined tights (you can find most of those at the store Ardenes by the way) and booties with a very warm leather jacket and tadaa... a winter look has been created!

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great beginning of the week, I don't know how your weather conditions are but its freezing out here so stay warm and fabulous! You can join me on facebook here for more photos and daily posts.

Summer Dress

Hello guys, its been quite the week out here in Toronto. We had this big rain storm out here leaving our  city all flooded and blacked out with no power but by God's grace everything is settling down. 
On a lighter note, I finally caved and pretty much texturized my hair a little bit because going all natural is not the easiest thing to do. Stay strong, all my natural sisters!!

Maxi dress: Ebay// Purse: Aldo// Oversized cardigan// Black studded bootie// Belt: thrifted// 


I hope you're having a wonderful week so far...thanks for visiting, xox.

Guest Post: Summer Trends 2013 in Clothing and Shoes Revealed!

The 2013 trends in summer are all about style but in a little conventional way. If you are one of those who love to stock new items in the closet every season, the summer of this year has plenty to offer you. Here is a close take at what you will need to make your sunny days brighter as a fashionista and those dresses and shoes online that you can buy.
Clear Shoes:

From clear straps to more clear heels, shoes in such style have ruled the ramp in every way possible. The designs in clear shoes are a rage, and there are so many different styles to try. Those high wedges in the clear style or the sandals in clear straps with or without embellishments are certainly worth trying. 
Statement stripes:

If you are not very fond of prints, the stripes are in vogue and the fashion experts suggest the trend will follow in months to come. Of course, the solid black and white stripe is always in vogue, but keep in mind that there are other colours that work well with white in particular. Think of stripes in any of the summer colours mixed with white, and you are ready to give the hottest girl of your college a run for money. You can take inspiration from Dolce & Gabbana’s new collection for ideas.
Bold and bright:

When it comes to colour choices for summer 2013 in clothing, the bolder is the better. Look for all kinds of colour clashing ideas with designs in the graphic mode and other contrasting colours for hints. Even those slogan t-shirts in bright colours are worth checking and can light up your boring day in no time at all. Look for more block patterns and prints more than anything else.
Neon shoes:

The trend of neon colours in shoes is not something new, but the designers suggest on choosing neon coloured shoes even for this season, as well. It is extremely important to make sure that the shoes you choose are not very parallel to the colour of the clothing. The idea of contrasting is what that is making the most vibes. Orange, green, blue and reds in the brightest shades is what you must look for.
Cropped tops and bras:

If you have that hour glass figure and want to show it off, it is best to choose those retro style cropped tops and bras that refuse to go out of fashion. The colours can be anything from extreme bright to something totally neutral, but the idea is to show off that washboard flat abs. In case you haven’t found a reason to be motivated to join the gym, you know where to start!
There are other trends like printed blouses, loosely fitted shirts for work and classy peep toes and pointed heels to choose from, so make sure you are ready to shop more.

Audrey


 Audrey Hepburn is one of the most classic and recognizable style icons in the world. And yes I was one of the MANY girls with her poster hanging on my bedroom walls. Not anymore, but I do not like her any less since the poster came off my walls, I just grew up. Her signature little black dresses (LBD) has pretty much become one of the staple items "required" in every woman's closet. From her signature fashion shots to her close relationship with Givenchy is just some of the many things I admire about her. Apart from being a great actress, she was also a mother and humanitarian. Being a huge fan of the movies (and trust me, I have seen quite a few), some of Audrey's most famous movies definitely top the charts on my movie list. Her movies, "My fair Lady" and "Paris When it Sizzles" were awesome but one of my all-time favourite has got to be the popular "Breakfast at Tiffanys" (I'm sure most people will relate to this).
Oh yeah, and is it just me or some of Victoria Beckham's style choices remind you of Audrey's as well...no??
