NYX Prom

Top, Smart Set. Skirt, Diane von Furstenberg. Clutch, Dior. Sandals, Dolce Vita. Necklace c/o Happiness Boutique. Ring, Samantha Wills.

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!?

Our weekend ritual involves crawling out of bed to grab a coffee and heading out to one of our nature spots to unwind for a bit before starting out the day. We are drawn to the peaceful surroundings of the forest. And nothing beats starting the day off taking it all in over coffee. There have been times where we’ve wandered in for hours and just enjoyed the stillness that surrounds us.

I’ll usually throw on something easy and fast (as the brain is still usually asleep at this point). For instance like a pair of these vegan leather leggings, a plaid top and overcoat. I added a statement necklace because I thought the look without it was sort of drab. And at times we’ll go straight to running errands from here and I’d like to look somewhat human in the process.

Wishing you a lovely week ahead! xo

Being a summer girl at heart the change of seasons can be a bit daunting for me at times. As a result, I like to incorporate summer pieces into my Fall wardrobe to keep the summer vibes going…even when it’s too cold outside to remember that summer even existed. For this look I wore a floral romper with a bold floral print paired with a black chunky knit cardigan. The bold and vibrant yet delicate florals contrast perfectly against the thick knit. To complete the look, I styled my boho chic outfit with some OTK (over the knee) boots (which are really trending this season) and a floppy hat for maximum warmth.

My favourite piece in this look is the floral romper which I received from Yoins. I was approached by Yoins to review their products and chose a floral romper with this exact look in mind. Having been pleased with the service and quality of the garments I was also impressed especially with their assortment of rompers and dresses. A trendy selection of all your Fall essentials are located on their site at very affordable price points.

Happy Weekend!
