So many great sales and deals on designer purses lately! I'm so tempted to pick one up! Perhaps Santa will recognize that I've been good this year and ship one of these beauties down the chimney for me!
There's certainly a purse for every girl out there. Check out some of my favourite picks if you're shopping for that someone special (or yourself for that matter!). All these purses are on sale!
I hope you're having a great start to your week! Can't believe we're just a couple of weeks away from Christmas! Have you checked out some of my HoliDIY's (Holiday DIYs) yet?
Hello! Here’s my second DIY guest post for Girls of T.O. Today, I’m going to take you to a very gold and glittery place. Christmas is the best time to bring out the glitter and sparkles. What better way to get festive then to incorporate a shiney thing or two into your holiday wardrobe?
I was inspired by the Keds for Kate Spade gold glitter sneaker and decided to create a pair of my own that cost me less than $10. Try pairing them with a pair of jeans or if you want to really stand out, what about a puffy party skirt? I hope you’ll give these a try and have some fun with it!
I've always been a huge fan of Stella and Dot. I was first introduced to the brand while attending a small event in Toronto, where one of the ladies had someone from Stella and Dot host a trunk show. Since then, I've hosted a trunk show myself, it is so much fun to gather the ladies together, sip on some bubbly and get our shop on. The best time of the year to do that is just before the holiday season.
I'm so happy to team up with my favourite Stella and Dot stylist, Alessia to GIVEAWAY a special piece from my Stella and Dot Holiday Gift Guide picks. All pieces are available on Alessia's Stella and Dot store (for every $50 you spend you get $25 dollars back to redeem in January!!)!
I’m ecstatic to be guest blogging on This Beautiful Day today! This blog post is also quite meaningful to me because it’s the first time I’m sharing photos or our new home.
Living in a condo for the last several years means there was never enough room to put up a Christmas tree. I FINALLY have room to put up a tree this year! Yippee!
I hope you enjoy these tidbits from our humble home! Thank you Lisa for allowing me to share with all your readers!
The burlap bunting garland around my tree (above) was a DIY project. I prefer the burlap material over the traditional glitzy tinsel options as I found that it really tied in the colour of the floor and my dining table.
Today, I’m guest blogging for Girls of T.O.! I was so thrilled when Dani asked me to take part in a mini series of Christmas DIY for Girls of T.O. This is the first of three DIY’s that I’ll be sharing with you, I hope you like them and will give them a try!
Christmas is the perfect time to HoliDIY. Whether it is a holiday wreathe, ornaments for the tree, or even a snow globe, there are so many decorations you can try yourself! This year, I decided to DIY a burlap bunting garland for my Christmas tree. I love the way it turned out and the best part? You can be creative and use any holiday word phrase to add some holiday cheer!
Joyeux Noel!
Head on over to Girls of T.O. to see my step by step instructions for this Christmas Tree Burlap Bunting DIY!
TGIF Lovelies! Yes, the Christmas season is certainly upon us! The most exciting time of the year because I get an extra excuse to DIY and craft excessively, lol! Starting you off, nice and easy, today's HoliDIY is really simple. I've been looking for ways to add artwork into my home this holiday season, inspired by the gold glittery things I've be seeing, I decided to DIY a Glitter "Merry" Canvas.
Here's all you need: Gold glitter paper or card stock (I bought my from The Dollar Store), scissors, a carving knife, a pad to work on, a canvas, and glue.
Steps: 1. Flip the glitter paper to it's back side, this is easier to work with. / 2. Place the letter stencils backwards on top of the paper. / 3. Trace the letter cut out with a sharp carving knife. / 4. Use scissors to assist if need be. / 5. Pop the letters out. / 6. Glue the letters onto the canvas.
VOILA!
What do you have planned for this weekend? Hitting the Black Friday Sales?! Whatever your plans may be, I hope you have a great one!
Happy Monday Lovelies! I'm excited to share these photos with you! A couple of weeks back, I had the best time with Manitobah Mukluk and Lotus Leaf Style, shooting some street style photos with the amazing Jenna Marie Wakani (photographer at Refinery29).
I decided to inject some bright cobalt blue to my outfit (cocoon coat here, purse here) while wearing the most comfortable and luxe winter boots - Kanada Boots in black, made in Canada and retail for $299. This is the second pair of Manitobah Mukluk's I own and I can't tell you how comfortable their boots are. I especially love the suede and bead work on these boots. The extra addition of rabbit fur that trims around the boots is also an added touch of glam, which I thoroughly adore. If you're still looking for that perfect Christmas gift for someone that loves lounging in comfort and style, I highly recommend these!
Aren't these photos great? Jenna is so good at what she does! I'm so thrilled that I had the chance to work with her.
I also got the chance to sit down with Christina and learn a thing or two about beading. I obviously couldn't walk away without a little bit of crafting! The bead work Christina showed me was truly incredible, every piece was an art piece on its own. She also told me that sometimes it takes her a full day to complete one piece that's the size of my palm (i.e. the heart shape shown in the photo above). Being a DIY/crafter advocate, I have much appreciation of handmade pieces and fashion. To me, it is wearable art. If aboriginal art work and bead work intrigues you, learn more about the Manitobah Storyboot Project.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I am in full HoliDIY mode! Please stay tuned for some upcoming HoliDIY posts!
Some amazing fashion news. I don't usually write too much about fashion news, but just got news that my FAVOURITE style blogger, Aimee Song of Song of Style announced an exciting collaboration with Canadian etailer, eLUXE.
Song of Style for eLUXE merges Aimee's unique style with the season's hottest sweatshirt trend resulting in a limited run, six piece capsule collection of luxury t-shirts and sweatshirts available exclusively through the etailer this holiday season beginning December 4, 2013. Aimee Song through her style blog, Song of Style, has established herself as a go-to fashion voice for the digital age, fusing her personal vision with fashion's must have styles; her looks resonate with a loyal global audience which includes a growing social media following of more than a million on Instagram. This new partnership will bring the Song of Style aesthetic to your own closet.
Song of Style's voice is transformed into tangible fashion choices, perfect bold statements for the season. Aimee worked with the eLUXE team to create a collection that is wearable, sophisticated and on trend. Designed to be integrated and imagined by their wearer, the collection is both attainable and aspirational. A perfect cut tee and a sweatshirt in a classic crew or raw neck are available in chic dark storm and white, white and black or grey and black combinations. Priced from $40 to $90.
"For this collaboration I really wanted to hone in on my approach to fashion and style with my "Do Epic Chic" logo and my love for Los Angeles with the playful "VioLA". The t-shirt and sweatshirt styles go perfectly with my effortless style of dressing and I'm excited to pair them with denim and sky-high heels this holiday. Working with eLUXE has been a great experience and I'm excited to share my designs with the Canadian market and beyond." - Aimee Song
I can't wait until I can get my hands on Aimee's sweatshirt! Counting down the days until Dec 4!
Hello Lovelies! So happy to be sharing this DIY Embellished Velvet Flats project with you! This project was exclusively featured in the November Issue of Accent Magazine, pick up a copy and check it out! I had the pleasure to work with Alexis Coronado, the Fashion Editor of Accent on this project, she had a vision for Luxury Gilded Loafers (love this and this version) for this Fall's trend and asked me to try a version myself.
What do you think? Would you where over the top embellished flats to add some flare to your outfit?
The holiday season – it truly is the best time of the year. There is something magical about the festive season despite the cold! Aside from shopping for gifts (and shopping for myself), another to-do for this holiday season is to dress our new home with a bundle of holiday spirit. The BF plans on taking me tree shopping this year, which I’m super excited about. This was never a tradition in my family, but certainly one that we want to start for ours!
I would describe my holiday home décor style as “Country Chic”. I love infusing a tinge of country and vintage vibe into our home at any time of the year. It makes an urban home feel warm and cozy. To achieve the “Country Chic” vibe, consider a few of these items: a fur or chenille throw; birch wrapped candles or knitted candles; a large vintage or handmade sign and a wooden or slate cheese board.
Here are a few of my favourite items from Urban Barn for my “Country Chic” holiday home! Of course I’ll also be adding some DIY options, stay tuned for some holiday DIY projects!
