Fashion Magazine asked their trusted Style Panel to discuss socks and sandals this week. Here is what I said.

I looked back to see other times I’ve rocked socks in unexpected ways. Back in February I wore a graphic pair from Joe Fresh with a statement dress from the Peter Pilotto collection at Target. I also wore a great pair of knee highs from Roots Canada that month in Winter Classic. In the fall of 2012, the style blog seemed to have taken major focus to covering up my toes, with posts about: finding the perfect dress to take you anywhere in The Perfect Dress, pastels featuring a great pair of knee high socks in Pale and Bold, all of the details, where styled delicate fishnet socks (Dots and Details), and lastly for that season, when I wore a frilly pair from Topshop in the Fall Floral post.

– Oh and I had crazy orange hair back in 2012!

It must be the weather, the reason that I’ve been in a daze for the last week or so. Toronto hasn’t felt this nice in so long, and everyone should be taking advantage of the Vitamin D. Dressing for early summer involves planning for the potential of extreme heat, with breezes and the potential dropping of temperature come sundown. I tend to gravitate towards breathable fabrics like silk, that are ideal for absorbing any sweat during the day while being light weight and easy to be worn layered under a sweater for the evening.

Pastels are essential, basically every spring, so investing in amazing pieces is a must! Fashion Magazine asked their style panel this week how to update this colour-way for Spring/Summer 2014.  On the runway we saw designers show the look monochromatically, but I’ve styled my look to be a bit more wearable by pairing an amazing powder blue outfit from Topshop Canada with a petal pink robe.  Here is what I said.
