One of my favourite accessories to invest in are earrings. Timeless, elegant, and statement pieces that can stand alone to add detail and glam to any outfit. I often tag @tnegin in jewellery posts on Instagram to inspire him for my next anniversary/birthday/just cause present. My theories regarding gifting include to know your audience – so never be afraid to give people hints.
Earlier this year, Trevor and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary of being together, which is really surreal and definitely has been feeling all sorts of old. To celebrate this special moment, I was spoiled after pointing out earrings by Michelle Ross while shopping at the One of a Kind show. I loved the distressed aesthetic of antique hammered gold mixed with the fresh water pearls.
Being my birthstone, pearls have always meant so much to me, and I have been collecting special pieces over the years. These reminded me of a pair of earrings that my mother used to wear of cluster drop-down pearls.This spring, statement earrings are all the rage and there are so many different versions, from natural stones like these, to colourful fringe to (my next purchase) gold hoops.

I must apologize. Since I’ve been blogging, I’ve never taken a break quiet this long.
Here’s my little story of Fall 2015. I had an amazingly busy October with World Mastercard Fashion Week and a busy week of photo shoots, in the middle of all the chaos, I injured my knee. It felt like my fashion season, was closing in front of my eyes. I was stuck for the past 2 months with my knee in a-not-so-lovely-brace, and I’ve been well-embracing the normcore / athleisure trend. With weekly physiotherapy my knee has gotten stronger, though I’m still not quiet sure I’m in so much pain.
Ok, now back to what we are here for. Fashion. This fall I’ve been living in cozy cashmere, but more specifically turtlenecks. I’ve seem to have collected quite a few stunning knits that have been perfect for this mild fall season, and not to mention, there is nothing lovelier than turtleneck hair (when your hair is left inside of your turtleneck – giving you an instant messy bob).

Fashion Magazine asked their style panel to discuss how to dress for fashion week, here is what I said.
With Valentine’s Day around the corner along with Fashion Week hitting Toronto, I want to talk about fashion anxiety. Getting dressed everyday and looking cute is easy for some, but others struggle with putting together an outfit confidently, turning to fashion bloggers to find relatable advice and guidance. For me, I question everything before hitting an event, unless I plan well in advance. So before any event, a fashion show or a hot date with the hubby, I like to give myself sometime to rethink (although I usually change back into outfit 1).
Wishing everyone out there a Valentine’s Day Long Weekend (Family Day long weekend) filled with some sexy sexy time!

Fashion Magazine asked the style panel how to rock the crop top this season, here is what I said.
I wanted to show how you can easily wear it with pants or a skirt, but in reality it’s all about the fit, so try on some options to make sure you get it right!
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.
