Happy Holidays 2013

I feel so grateful that for everything that has happened in this past year.

Thank you everyone for your support and love!

And thank you to my photographer, best friend and husband, Trevor Negin.

The top trend of the year was plaid.

trend-of-the-year

The top post of the year was our surprise wedding on August 18. #bandtsurprisewedding
A wedding is the biggest fashion moment for a woman and my J. Mendel gown was the perfect mix of vintage and unexpected enchantment for the morning affair.

Here are more pictures taken by the amazing Brie and Titus of Mango Studios

This season, we aren’t putting away our floral patterns quite yet. The unexpected fall print is being paired with plaid for a 90s vibe. I am totally loving the fall floral, and it allows me to not store these happy prints in my storage for the season.

After A Storm

After the storm you have to get back into the swing of things and move on. I feel like when you’re having a rough day it’s best wear something bright to cheer you up. There is a good chance the people around you could use some visual stimulation too, so dressing in solid monochromatic colours should make the people around you smile too. Here is my monochromatic rainbow, mixing tones, hues, and prints to create interesting outfits.
