Maxi Mixup

Posted on February 2, 2015 by barbara solomon

The strict weight restrictions of flying, often makes it difficult for an indecisive fashion lover to travel lightly. While at home, I try to plan the outfits for the trip, ensuring that I have items that work well together, and items incase the weather decides not to co-operate.

This dress is actually an amazing maxi skirt, that I brought to wear with a sweater during the cooler evenings while vacationing in Florida, but during this stunning day, it seemed to work better as an easy dress. Adding some sparkle with these beautiful Brides X BaubleBar earrings and an great heel, this is now a glamourous dress to take me anywhere. See how I styled this skirt as a dress back in 2012!

Summer Sweater

Posted on August 3, 2014 by barbara solomon

We have entered the month of August, and our nights have just gotten cooler and there’s a slight breeze throughout the day chilling the air. I think it’s time we really start thinking about transitional pieces that will work well into the fall. Right now there are amazing sales in the stores, and it’s a great time to think ahead and pick up pieces like this sweater dress, a steal- last year from the clearance rack at Club Monaco.

Primped Perfectly

Posted on August 1, 2014 by barbara solomon

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
