Caribana

Hope that everyone enjoyed their weekend! Just putting together a quick post from Caribana this weekend. For those of you that aren’t from Toronto, Caribana (aka Toronto Caribbean Carnival), is a festival of Caribbean culture and traditions which is held every summer in our city. The parade features beautiful and vibrant floats and costumes that move to steel pan, soca and calypso music. There are also vendors selling some amazing authentic food. The weather was absolutely perfect and this soca junkie enjoyed every minute of it. Here are a few shots from the festival.

What did you get up to this weekend?

Ballet Tulle Dress

 Dress, Chicwish (here). Wedge sneakers, Steve Madden. Bracelet, Expression from The Bay. Clutch, RocaWear. 

 
I have always wanted to prance around through the forest like a fairy wearing a ballet tulle dress. Well…I finally got my chance. There’s just something very feminine and magic about tulle for me and this dress captures the vibe.

Happy Monday!

Chambray Skater Dress

Dress and earrings, H&M. Heels, Steve Madden. Ring, Rachel Roy. Ankle bracelet, self made.

I have been eyeing my boyfriend’s chambray shirt for quite some time now. Yet I cannot come to terms with the fact that it won’t fit. While I was hoping to wear it as a dress and cinch it with a belt no matter how much rolling up and tucking in that I do it just does not want to cooperate! I was pretty bummed about that until I realized that I have a chambray skater dress sitting in the closet. Sitting and waiting patiently for its turn to see the light of day. Although initially I was going for the casual/boyfriend look, I’ll settle for this feminine silhouette instead.

Wishing you all a fabulous week!
