Last Minute Outfit

Fashion Magazine asked their style panel to discuss how to dress for fashion week, here is what I said.

With Valentine’s Day around the corner along with Fashion Week hitting Toronto, I want to talk about fashion anxiety. Getting dressed everyday and looking cute is easy for some, but others struggle with putting together an outfit confidently, turning to fashion bloggers to find relatable advice and guidance. For me, I question everything before hitting an event, unless I plan well in advance. So before any event, a fashion show or a hot date with the hubby, I like to give myself sometime to rethink (although I usually change back into outfit 1).

Wishing everyone out there a Valentine’s Day Long Weekend (Family Day long weekend) filled with some sexy sexy time!

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.

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
