As the day that we recognize our mothers for their fabulousness is approaching (tomorrow), Fashion Magazine, reached out to their style panel to discuss the growing trends that are reflective of our mother’s style. Now I must admit, my mom grew up with killer style, but even now, she’s has that effortlessly-chic thing down pat.

Here is what I said about my super-mom. Happy Mother’s Day mom!

What I’ve come to realize, is that glasses can be the one accessory to make a huge impact on how you look. A simple change of the frames can switch up your look from 70’s glam to geek chic.

ClearlyContacts.ca‘s spring 2015 campaign was asking their Look Ambassadors to Bend the Trend, and they make it so easy to stay on top of their eyewear trends, with super cute frames. My trend that I represented was the Full Circle, which I adore, and this look is perfect to reflect the 70’s trend that is all the rage this spring season. My girl, Marie, who is an eyewear designer breaks down the season’s biggest trends right now on ClearlyContact’s blog.

Maybe I planned my shopping list for fall better this year, or maybe, I just got lucky, but this season I’ve already fallen in love with my newest treasures from my fall haul. I searched for an easy-to-wear, oversized sweater and came up with a steal with this great knit from Joe Fresh. I’ve learned to achieve ultimate comfort, to go up a size. I was looking for unique, yet interesting jewellery, and found great treasures from Baublebar. And probably the hardest commodity to for me to choose each season are my boots, but that was simple with Topshop Canada.

Fashion Magazine asked their style panel this week about styling more than one statement piece. Here is what I said, including my tip on keeping the look feel balanced by ensuring no more than one item in your clothing, accessories and one beauty feature to highlight.

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.

When Fashion Magazine asked me to style this season’s super hot trend of metallics, I was somewhat lost at first. I looked back to some of my favourite times I’ve worked with this trend before like last December when I wore my boldest metallic look which was a great mini dress from the Isabel Marant pour H&M collection.

I find that this trend, is much easier to introduce into your wardrobe as flavour, rather than being the featured item. Like when Topshop Canada brought out the bling with this chain collar around the holidays last year, or this insane cuff from ASOS. Metallic shoes have always been a big thing (booties) (heels), and this summer there are so many choices available, and luckily now likely on sale!

Here is what I said to the style panel.

While spring shopping, a piece I want everyone to pick up is a printed playsuit of some sort. I’ve been loving them since I wore a bright orange one last season. I find them beyond comfortable, if you can get over the whole getting nearly naked to pee, they are amazing!

Spring’s here and temperatures are warming up (barely). With the change of season, we need to rethink our basics. Ivania Carpio, an amazing Dutch blogger, inspires me to trash my entire closet in search for the minimal lifestyle.

Now, I know that really isn’t realistic for me, as colour and patterns rule my life, I do love the idea of the new neutrals. This season I’m loving the mushroom/nude colourway. This Soia and Kyo leather bomber has become my spring coat of choice, working perfectly with pastels as well as neutrals.

Fashion Magazine got all excited about spring’s trends and asked their style panel to talk about their favourite things for the up coming season. My favourite trend seen throughout the runway for this spring/summer is all about the artistic touch. Here is what I said.
