Before Fall even officially starts, fashionistas were celebrating what is known as Fashion Month. Traveling to market across New York and Europe from designer shows to designer after-parties, showcasing what will be hot for Spring 2016. This is a time where we can preview the trends before they are out, and how to wear them by watching our favourite street style photographers’ social media accounts—who will snap celebs, international bloggers and models fresh off the runway.

The very talented Laura Kay of @diarysketcheslk illustrated some talented and beautiful blogger in a stunning series inspired by our #NYFW (New York Fashion Week) outfits – search the tag on instagram #OSFW.

It’s festival time in Toronto, with celebrities and film-buffs celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Toronto International Film Festival. You can actually feel the city buzzing with so much excitement and parties.

When going out to celebrate the festival, there are many different ways of dressing:
for celebrity spotting: comfortable shoes, as you could end up waiting awhile
for the movies: I always bring a sweater, the AC is typically blasting
for the parties: it’s always a perfect time to dress to the nines, as you never know if Jake Gyllenhaal or George Clooney may be stopping by (sorry boo!)

Today is Labour Day, the unofficial end of summer. Though, I’m not ready to be in layers, rather than laying on the beach, I am ready to reset my wardrobe and think of things in different ways. Before I do, I’ve been wearing my favourite pieces of the summer before I say goodbye to them-for what seems like forever. Here’s a look back at some of my favourite looks from this summer (in no particular order):
1) Office Appropriate – which is a great transitional look too
2) Wet Hot American Fashion
3) Rain Delay – which inspired this beautiful painting by the lovely Kyra Kendall 

Hope you enjoyed your summer! Thank you for spending it with Trevor, Monk and I <3

Fashion Magazine asked their style panel about transitioning their favourite pieces from summer into the fall season. There is what I told them.

We are taught at a young age, that when dressing ourselves there are certain colours that go nicely together, and other that should NEVER be paired for an outfit. Today I’m breaking those silly rules, as I’m wearing the perfect cropped black tank and an amazing pair of navy linen pants. This bruise inspired colour-way, is the number one combination I’ve been told to stay away from with the rhyme, “black and blue should never been seen, unless they’re in the washing machine” always playing in my head. Ensuring that the black is a rich dark black and that the navy has blue and purple qualities will help make sure this tricky coupling will work.

This is a very old way of looking at colour and fashion. I dare you to break some rules, if not daily at least on the weekend, when your fashion choices can be a bit more liberal.

Summers growing up for me meant one thing, 2 months of freedom roaming in the wilderness at camp. Fashion Magazine asked their style what part of summer camp style has stayed part of our lives, inspired from Netflix’s TV series adaption of the classic cult movie Wet Hot American Summer (which you must see if you haven’t). Here is what I said.

When shopping on sale, I like to remember to keep to the basics. There is no reason to fall head-first into a trend–because it’s on sale–as it may be on its way out. If you are unsure if something may be seasonal, opt for the item in a neutral colourway, allowing it to be more seasonless. Collecting great neutral pieces will allow you to play with a contrast in a different way each season.

When heading back into a work week, I like to prep my outfits to ensure that they are clean, steamed and prepared for the possibility of a sleep-in, especially when a long weekend had just passed. I’m very selective when choosing appropriate outfits for work, as I want to ensure I have decent coverage of any bra straps and undergarments. I find that as my fashion taste has evolved, my style has become a bit more modest in terms of length, favouring midi to maxi rather than shorter hemlines for an office environment. I love the ladylike silhouette that this hemline provides, and it is flattering on basically everyone.
