Summers growing up for me meant one thing, 2 months of freedom roaming in the wilderness at camp. Fashion Magazine asked their style what part of summer camp style has stayed part of our lives, inspired from Netflix’s TV series adaption of the classic cult movie Wet Hot American Summer (which you must see if you haven’t). Here is what I said.
As the day that we recognize our mothers for their fabulousness is approaching (tomorrow), Fashion Magazine, reached out to their style panel to discuss the growing trends that are reflective of our mother’s style. Now I must admit, my mom grew up with killer style, but even now, she’s has that effortlessly-chic thing down pat.
Here is what I said about my super-mom. Happy Mother’s Day mom!

Update: Internet problems + website issues = the blog went on a break! But looks like we are back with tons of new post and exciting projects in the works!
My first catch post will be for Valentine’s Day 2015, when Fashion Magazine asked their style panel what they were doing and how they were celebrating the special day. I decided to share with you my outfit from date night, and the story of Trevor and my yearly tradition V-day Thai food dinner. Here is their feature.
To follow up, we had a super lazy and romantic Valentine’s Day and Family Day together, catching up on sleep and hanging out with Monkey.

Welcome back from the holidays! Sorry that I’ve been away from the blogging action, but I was celebrating a bit too much with family and friends, sipping and snacking the holidays season away. We will soon be back into the normal swing of things, I have put myself on heavy restriction, to purchase nothing new, (unless it’s a steal) and to save for my upcoming winter get-away. We are exactly 1 month away until we hit the beach, and the goal will be to spend less time in the mall, and more time at the gym, working off that last bottle of red, enjoyed with friends.
A yearly, New Year’s Resolution for me, is to live a healthier life, and 2014, I took up the lifestyle of juicing which has introduced so many more fruits and vegetables into my life. I also created the hashtag #onawalkwiththenegins, which allowed for my Instagram followers to join my husband and I (with friends) on our walks around the city with the goal to help you get outside.
In 2015, I hope to add some more physical activities to help with having better overall balance, and learn to cook meals, which will allow for us to save money and take control of what we are putting in our bodies. I hope the last bit of 2014 is magical and that all of your dreams come true in 2015! Thanks for spending so much time with me this year!

Fashion Magazine is headed to Miami this week, and asked their style panel what to wear when adventuring around this beautiful and lively city. I’ve been going to Miami, since I was kid, and feel as though it’s my second home. I’ll be heading there in February and cannot wait to hit the malls and beaches. Here is what I told Fashion Magazine is my biggest tip to for packing for this sunny city.

When I saw blogger beauty, Chiara Ferragni of The Blonde Salad, sporting her sports bra outside the shows during Fashion Month, I instantly got inspired to style this athletic essential trend. I fell in love with the Nike Pro Rival bra, as the high support durability and breathable fabric, make this bra look as beautiful as it fits. There is something about suiting-up, that I absolutely love. This power suit combination is just so lovely and yet strong.

When I started blogging, my favourite trend to style was the playful pattern one that is still going strong today. Unlikely duos allow for the most interesting outfits. Since my favourite colour combo lately has been a bright red and pale blue, I tried to style within this colour-story but with contrasting patterns.
The outcome has got to be one of my favourite outfits I’ve ever worn. The strong plaid print from the overall-dress mixed with the sheer and delicate snake-skin blouse, is unexpectedly amazing.

When Fashion Magazine asked their style panel about the midi skirt, which is a huge trend this season, I took a moment to look back at some of my favourite ones that I’ve styled. I ended up showing their readers this amazing Valentino Red dress that I picked up years ago, that is a perfect example of how easy this cut of skirt is, once you figure out the shoes. Here is what I said.

Often the season changes before the rest of us are ready, causing us to need a quick jump start to our wardrobe. As storage in my tiny midtown apt is limited, I keep 2 seasons hidden away, and find myself usually wishing I’d had my FW14 closet sooner.
When I need to quick start my wardrobe, I run to my local mall, shopping through my favourite stores in search of what’s new and fresh for this season. I need to review what I have in storage before making an major purchases. This on-trend jumpsuit, was the perfect, take-me-anywhere piece that I knew I’ll live in this season, and a perfect way to help quick start my fall wardrobe.
