This silk robe, an item I got from Aritzia a few seasons ago, has graced my blog every season, adding a simple element of luxe to every outfit it’s styled with. In January of 2013 it was the highlight colour of an outfit, and in February of the same year I styled it romantically with black lace and a nod to Curtis Kulig. A month ago, in April of 2014, I styled it with a head-to-toe pastel blue look for contrast to welcome the long awaiting spring weather.  When Fashion Magazine asked their style panel this week to rework one of their favourite pieces, I knew that this robe was my timeless classic that I have been able to transition season after season. Here is what I said.
Now I’m playing with a tonal look with blush and navy, plaid and pinstripes. This robe, is my favourite way to add elegance (and coverage) to an easy spring/summer look.Photography by Trevor Negin

At the start of each season, I am always on the hunt for the perfect new dress that will become my favourite for the season. I look for something that fits well with a conservative/work appropriate elements (coverage of bra straps, not too deep of a v-neck, and the cut to be just above or below the knee). This season I’ve been able to find everything I was looking for with this amazing dress from eShakti, an online retailer that specializes in customizing those very details. It’s crazy to have a dress fit so well without trying it on and getting it adjusted! With a selection of adorable prints and styles eShakti.com has a great dress for every occasion and I can’t wait to see the next one I’ll pick up!
