A couple HUGE trends for winter are dressing in a single colour and winter pastels.

I have loved tonal outfits for a long time now, not only does it make things very simple in the morning, but it always creates a bold look. Whether it be, all white, black, red, pastels, or kelly green (which I’ve worn a few times and can be found at Joe Fresh right now) try playing with tints and shades that live in the same hue.

Pastels were big for spring and summer and are making their return for winter— hope you had the chance to stocked up at the end of season sales.

I’ve recently started working for The Hudson’s Bay Company as a graphic designer and it’s pretty unreal, to be honest! The Bay is such a great brand and I so excited to design for this Canadian Icon. That being said, I went from a casual dress work environment to a very corporate, and I must say I’m excited to rework my closet to create a more polished look.

Fall is one of my favourite seasons, and as the new lineup hits the stores, my heart and wallet skip a beat (thank g.d for the new job!). I’ve been decorating in Kelly Green for a bit now around my apartment, and when I saw these pants at Joe Fresh, there were really no questions. (Similar pants are available at The Gap, I was hours away from buying those to be honest.) Kelly Green works so well in my very collective style home and closet, matching almost any print, pattern and colour I throw at them.

And Plaid Magazine where I also work as an art director is now 1 of the 25 Magazines You Should Know in Toronto!
