Bright colours are your friend! Embrace them for summer and fall!

I have recently gotten some really awesome coral pieces which add some much needed trendy colour to my summer and fall wardrobe. Here is a pic of me rocking some high-waisted burnt coral shorts. This is some denim on denim and colour blocking that I'm trying out, which I usually don't do! I remember looking at pictures of Rihanna wearing some awesome colour blocking outfits through the seasons and I was totally thinking about how to rock it. I shall keep tryin' this trend out and keep you posted.


I felt so '90s on this day. Hey, at least I didn't have the big hair goin' on, so it works, right? Yeah, I'm sticking to that, lol.

And here are some lovely red jeggings I got. They are so super tight that it takes some elaborate yoga poses to put them on. And if I eat a huge meal, I wouldn't be surprised if they burst open on me!! But yeah, I rocked 'em for the first time on a night out with my girls.

I am so excited to wear these come fall. They will def make my outfits pop. Yay, a reason not to be sad about summer's end: a new wardrobe to rock! I may even go for some more colours. Blue, purple, yellow...why the heck not?

Oh my gosh, and I just need to add that my girl Kim Kardashian rocks bright colours like no other. Check out this cute clutch... (and its coral, my fave ;))


Here she is rocking a neon dress with purple shoes. LOVE the colour combo, not nuts about the style of the dress, though.

Speaking of Kim, I just read her blog and realized we are sort of style soulmates. I need to dedicate a post about this next time lol.

Have a good night now fashionistas. Ta ta!

Oh my! So many fab summer trends

Hey there. It's been ages since I've written!! Okay, so here are some trends I'm lovin' at this minute.

1. Crochet

That's me, white girl on the left, in case it's not obvious, lol. So yes, this is one of my new trendy pieces. I've only worn it once on a night out, but I'm already thinking about different ways to wear this trend. You can totally wear this as a beach cover-up, on a casual day shopping, or on a date. You name it. I'll post some more pics next time I decide how to wear it. :)

2. Brown...anything
Michael Kors recently tweeted that brown is the new black. I read it and thought, Wow! My thoughts exactly! Brown is the way to go. Here are some of my favourite brown pieces.
Just got these today. :) Ah, gotta love cute booties.

Here is my wallet. This style has a specific name, but don't know what it is. It's ma baby.

Cute satchel (also got it today) with brown accents.

Straw tote with brown accents.

My mom's brown Nine West bag that I love to steal, lol.

3. Maxi dresses
Haven't I always said I love this trend? Well, in case I haven't, I do! Here's a cute floral frock I got from Forever 21 a few months ago. Oh, and my friend and I are showcasing our fab slippers as well.


4. Bows...grown-up ones
Ever since I saw a pic of Rihanna rocking an adorable polka dot scarf as a bow on her head (see below), I've been inspired by these cute and fun hair accents. Check mine out too, it's a headband with a cute little black bow.



5. Fishtail braids
Just learned how to do one. Oh yeah!


That's all for today, folks. New trends coming soon. Keep enjoying your fabulous and fashionable summer! xo

It's early July, what are you doing with your look?

Hello, loves. So I just wanted to make a post to update you on my new fashion ventures. Here are some looks I'm rocking these days.

First of all, oh how floral print has evolved over the years! It's always been trendy, I think, but it's everchanging. Here's Tiffany Thiessen rocking floral print shorts on Saved by the Bell, roughly 20 years ago...

And here's me and my girls rocking floral frocks this weekend!

I love how all our dresses are different styles and different prints but still rocking the same lovely trend.

I've also been experimenting with summer-friendly makeup. So I decided to invest in a good waterproof mascara, first of all...and I am slightly disappointed. I got the Sephora brand waterproof mascara, and it was a bitch to take off (like all waterproof mascara!), but it still gave me slight raccoon eyes! Although it went on evenly and looks good, it is not what I had hoped for. Also, I am totally not down for foundation these days. It's way too hot, and I've been breaking out like crazy! I use a scrub, toner and then a moisturizer every night and my skin is thanking me. I only wear translucent powder and bronzer during the day. At night, primer is a must! I am trying to embrace the natural texture of my hair in the summer. Translation: I'm breaking my addiction to volumizer. Not to mention it used to make me break out on my forehead. I think my hair will thank me. Here's a pic of me looking casual sans hair product...love it or hate it? Oh and I'm at Toronto Pride, hence the boa, lol.

OH and nail colour! Bright bright bright! Here are my pride nails...



Yellow, in all it's shades, is hot right now. I added a rainbow for my special occasion. And no, these are not real. Honesty I'm not a huge fan of long acrylic nails but I wanted to be super fabulous this weekend. Don't we all wanna feel that way sometimes?

That's what I've been up to. Now off to bed. Night night! xo
