A season too early

I know summer has barely hit us but I've become obsessed with finding the perfect leather boots for the fall. I recently decided on Frye boots. They're a closet staple, with 100s of styles and amazing colours. These hand crafted leather boots are a must have and although you might break the bank getting them, they're an item you will have for many years to come. My favourite style is the Celia X stitch boot in Olive. They have no buckles or added ornaments, but just plain and simple knee high riding boots. I don't want summer to be over but part of me is exciting to get my hands on a pair of these bad boys and wear them like a second skin all fall! 

Kristen Stewart

Kristen Stewart is someone who I've always admired. Not for twilight and that phenomenon but for her past works in small movies and her ability to remain 100% herself. I seem to waiver on her acting abilities but her style and attitude simply scream real. I've never heard someone struggle so much to speak, and put their words into sentences but she does, however, I find it endearing. It's so easy to have someone shove words down your throat and to regurgitate word for word what a publicist told you to say. But to be able to just think and be put in the moment allows a personal quality to be present. In a business that focuses so much on the idea of perfect and then seeing someone who throws profanities in your face, word vomits constantly and does it wearing Nike kicks and a men's t-shirt, needs a medal for keeping it real. She's gritty, raw and beautiful. In time I believe she'll do amazing things, and twilight will be nothing but a part of her past. She is only 22. Give her a few years and I think she'll come into her own and be able to wow people.

It's been a while

I can officially say it has been two months since I last wrote or posted anything. In two months a lot has happened, I started working full time again and have been quite busy with that. I also recently graduated from University! All those long months and days spent reading and writing and going to class have come to an end. I have my diploma all framed and official and now I am ready for some down time. I hope to continue to post and not go silent for long periods of time. Overall, I want to wish any readers a happy summer and I hope you enjoy the coming posts.

Shorts!

Everyone owns them, everyone loves them and hell, they are the perfect summer piece. I know the trend right now is fixed on candy coloured denim. Yes, the fashion gurus want you to exit the house looking like human gummy bears leaving a hard day of work on Katy Perry's California girls set. However, I can't help but point out how classic basic white denim shorts are. Not only can they give a bit of class to an otherwise casual look, but white goes with everything! A favourite past time of mine is creating outfits of clothing I don't even own. I like pairing things that I wouldn't wear but would try in the comfort of my own bedroom. Here is a look that I absolutely love and if it weren't so hot here in the summer, I'd probably wear sweaters like this more often. Don't get me wrong, I love coloured bottoms. I'd kill for a decent pair of pixie pink jeans or floral high waisted shorts. They just scream fun! But I can't deny how much I love to wear my white denim shorts and the versatility that they offer. These high waisted white shorts are perfect for a summer afternoon romp. Pair them with this loose fitting 3/4 length sweater and BAM you have yourself a killer summer look. If you want to be able to pull off the long sleeve layer, simply wear a tank underneath for a lighter option. The sweater also comes other 3 colour blocked tones and one tone colours. Happy styling!

Pastel a la Pied

For the past few months all I have been hearing about is how "in" pastels are right now. I won't lie, I have a few pastel hued shirts and jackets, but to be honest, nothing says trendy like pastel shoes. Who would expect it? A pastel peplum is just killing two birds with one stone, but if your wearing something simple or elegant, throw on a pair of pastel pumps. I've been searching out some comfy heeled pumps for the summer (oxy-moron?) and I came across these two. The pastel blue not only scream light and airy, but trendy and fun. My feet might not feel great stomping around the city in the wee hours of the morning, but they will look great. The other feeling this colour brings out is a reminder of Easter. What says spring festivities better than pastel colours and a little chocolate? Shoes can be found at Aldo

Collarless

Maison Blazer in Black by Wilfred

This past Christmas I was obsessed with a jacket from none other than Aritzia. Now, I do not want to relate a jacket to love at first sight but it truly was. The jacket I speak of isn't necessarily a coat, but isn't a blazer. It's that in between that is more chic than casual, but can go both ways. The jacket I speak of is black, collarless, quilted and rests just at your hip line. It isn't meant to be worn like a boyfriend blazer, or baggy but is mean to be nicely fitted. I always find that descriptions do not do the item justice in comparison to seeing it in person. Either way, it is simple yet defined. It is something you can wear over a dress, with jeans or even with dress pants and a collared shirt for an office approved look. Aritzia does a great job in the blazer/jacket department. With a range of selections and varying colours, the options are endless. Here is one of their options for spring/summer 2012 and with the exception of the crepe fabric, and structure it looks similar to mine.
