Never really been into stripes before, but these pink and white ones may have started something. It was a laid back day for running errands so I wanted something simple. This side slit top paired really well with white leggings and I liked the way the blue denim popped against the pink stripes. Accessorized with a statement necklace and hand bag (which also converts to this style) and some other gold toned accessories. Not bad for running errands.

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!?
