I think that this season’s best silhouette is the full skirt that falls at or below the knee. There is something so ladylike about this length and can be easily styled with so many different tops, everything from blouses to crop tops. This beautiful cream skirt is from Lord & Taylor’s line 424Fiftth, a beautiful collection exclusively carried in Canada at Hudson’s Bay. 424Fifth has been previewing their fall collection on Instagram over the last few weeks, and believe me, it’s going to be beautiful!

Here are two other amazing skirts, perfect for any occasion: Print Playlist, Spring Palette

This week, Fashion Magazine asked their style panel how to wear silk during the hot summer months. Silk, while it’s very breathable, also allows for sweat to leave some embarrassing pit-stains 🙁  which could be problematic on hot days. But, with help from a good antiperspirant (I love this one from Dove) I spend my summers sweat-free in luxurious silks! Here is how I told Fashion to style them.

This dress is clearly one of my favourites, seen here and here in each Spring/Summer season.

Fashion Magazine asked their style panel what they were wearing when we head up north during these beautiful summer weekends. I always tend to pack with basics that are easy to mix and match as the temperatures vary so much throughout one day. Here is what I told Fashion.
