This week, Fashion Magazine wanted to discuss neon and how to wear it without looking like your a rave kid. I love bright colours, I feel like when you wear them, people around you smile (of course, if you’re wearing them correctly). I once wore this dress during an important meeting. It was a bold choice and likely not meant for everyone, but I was able to start the conversation off with compliments on the colour and the meeting continued up-hill from there.

This is my post for Fashion Magazine

Every year I search the city for perfect summer dresses to wear to work or for a night out; something that is simple and easy. Materials make a huge difference. I love silk. It is a natural fibre that feels great against your skin and helps you stay cool with the summer heat. This dress I found is vintage and I LOVE it. I feel like it’s a perfect mix of everything that I was looking for and can easily be worn dressed up or down given the occasion

With Baz Luhrmann’s reinterpretation of The Great Gatsby coming this May, I am falling seriously in love with all things 1920s. Beading, tassels, and fringe were huge in this era, and it was really all about glam and movement. This is a simple fringe dress that I picked up from Urban Outfitters on sale, and it’s actually so timeless and perfect for many of the upcoming spring and summer events!  Try to play up the soft beauty element with it, soft curls and a matte lip.

Have fun with the 1920s trend, can’t wait to see the film!
