Maxi dress, Forever 21. Jacket, Gentle Fawn. Flats, Zara. Umbrella c/o Brelli. Bag, Marc Jacobs. Ring, Samantha Wills.

From the other day when we were hanging downtown and I had the opportunity of giving my new Brelli umbrella a spin. The weather was pretty drab. As such I wore a comfy jersey maxi dress with a long chambray jacket with lace up flats. Effortless. In the end this worked out well as the on and off rain gave us an opportunity to photograph the umbrella, the outfit providing a pretty neutral background to the statement accessory. This baby is not only beautifully crafted but also provides 99% UV coverage, can withstand winds up to 40 mph and of course will give you shelter from the rain. It is also eco-friendly which just makes it more chic. Rainy days just became fun again.

Had the pleasure of attending prom hosted by NYX Cosmetics held at a lovely venue on Queen St E in Toronto.  For the look, I did not want to go with a traditional style dress so instead I opted for a top + skirt combo for that two piece effect. Paired a Diane von Furstenberg gold tiered skirt (circa 2010) with a simple black knit tank threaded with gold to compliment the skirt. Dior clutch and lace up sandals with some statement jewelry completed the look for NYX Prom.

The NYX Prom event was illuminated with pink lighting and decor. It was also equipped with photo booths, makeup stations and resinated with the baddest jams from the 90’s. Amongst some really vibrant makeup of special note were the pink makeup sponges. Ummm…how adorable!?

Spent the day hanging out in downtown Toronto taking in some old familiar sights. Truly got that Spring feeling wearing this boho kimono top with the sunshine beating down on me. Loving the effortlessly stylish look that is so easily achieved by layering this Casablanca top over a simple white dress. It would also look great with a crop and shorts but I’ll save that for slightly warmer double digits. I paired the look with the City Girl shoe which also happens to be from Pink Martini. Added a crochet detailed saddle bag and turquoise detailed jewelry for that bohemian vibe. Glad that it’s Friday again and looking forward to the weekend – what are your plans?
