I love when outfits are inspired by things other than fashion. I feel like my latest plaid mini obsession is, not only because I work for Plaid Magazine, but possibly brought on by No Doubt and the insanely fabulous Gwen Stefani.
The new album is perfect, if you haven’t heard the title track, Push & Shove ft. Busy Signal and Major Lazer, you must! It will be on repeat for a while.

I love that preppy and sartorial garments are all the rage this season. Typically lady-like menswear, well cut of course, will flatter most body types really well, though, for us busty girls finding great shirts are hard to find. Choosing silk, or even a polyester blend fabric for a blouse may help, if you have this problem too. Mixing structured pieces with more feminine ones, like a blazer and shirt with a pleated A-line skirt, is a nice way to soften a potentially hard outfit.
Plaid Magazine (where I am the Art Director) just launched it’s Fall/Winter 2012 issue. Order it online now or wait for it to appear at a Chapters/Indigo location near you!

So the weather here in Toronto has been unbearable, making many of my outfits as I say it, “unpostable”. Though we do get those few days in-between this heatwave, where it cools down a bit and we can really show some summer style.
I am falling head over heels with polka dots and lucky for me they are huge right now! I got that great pair of pastel blue cropped pants from Topshop @ The Bay (that are now on sale), I’ve picked up a perfect polka dot blouse from Joe Fresh (Joe Mimran is clearly loving them too for fall) and this great pleated skirt, which is super flirty and yet a classic piece.
