Fall into Color

Fall is synonymous with jewel tones and this year is no exception.  From burgundy to evergreen these beautiful rich colors can be found in Zoya's NYFW 2012 Designer collection (in Canada avilable here + on sale!).   The collection was inspired by last February's NYFW fall/winter collections and includes some custom colors for designers Peter Som and Bibhu Monhapatra. I love all the colors but my favorite is Toni, the deep burgundy shade.  Here are some of my fall picks inspired by Zoya's Designer collection.

1. ASOS Super Soft Cropped Jacket  2. BaubleBar Ocean Cascade Collar  3. Jeffery Campbell Rumble Boots  4.Top shop rings 5. H&M Cardigan  6. Coach Legacy Duffle (comes in17 colors!)  7.  BB Dakota Swell Traveled Skirt  8. Forever 21 Wool Fedora 9. Old Navy Pop Color Rockstar Cords (only$34!)

What's your favorite fall color?

Summer Work Wear

It's been awhile since my last post and I know summer is more than half over but better late than never right ;)

This summer has been ridiculously hot, 30+ everyday!  And as someone who walks to work it has been a challenge to put together work outfits for the summer.  So I thought I'd share some of my summer work wear tips that have helped me cope with the weather :)

• Lightweight and breathable fabrics (silk, cotton etc.)
• Loose dresses/skirts
• Tanks/sleeveless tops
• + Don't forget a cardigan for the air conditioned office!

Here are some of my picks:

1. Equipment Sleeveless Signature Blouse  2. Wilfred Sabine dress (printed versions on sale, 1, 2, 3, 4)  3. Zara Lace Dress  4. Forever 21 Essential Circle Skirt  5. Ann Taylor Striped Sleeveless shirt  6. H&M Cardigan  7. Elizabeth and James Yumi Top

And remember dress below from this post?  I'm so glad I bought it as I've been wearing it on repeat!  It's perfect for this hot weather :)

What's your go-to summer work outfit?

Craving: Blue + A touch of Gold

Those who know me, know that I wear a lot of blue.  It's something that I've inherited from my dad.  So while I've been incorporating other colors to my wardrobe over the years, blue is still my go to color.  There's something so classic about blue and it can be a great neutral to pair with other colors.  Right now I'm loving the combination of blue with gold accessories.  Here are some of my picks for the summer.

From top left: Forever 21 Hi-Low Skirt, Joe Silk Tank, Rachel Roy Love Mice Ring (and here), Stella and Dot Renegade Bracelet, Zara Cashmere Blouse, Zara Blouse, H&M Bag, Joe Belted Dress, J.Crew Bracelet, Fiori Bag, Zara Dress

  What is your current favourite color combination?

More DIY Inspiration for Spring

DIY Inspiration

I was browsing through Forever 21's website and came across these cool pieces.  Although they are inexpensive like everything else at Forever 21, I know I can DIY them and customize the colors to my liking.  Can't wait to find time to recreate some of them :)

Looking For: Chambray Shirt

The hunt is on for an affordable chambray shirt!   And from my rain boot hunt you know that I am very picky.  Here is some of my criteria:

• Must have a good weight to it.
• Solid wash (not faded or distressed!), preferably medium wash
• No western style and no logos.
• Slightly fitted (not boxy!)
• Affordable = $30 or less
• Available in Canada

Below are some of the styles I'm loving. 

          

                                           J. Crew                                                           Old Navy

  

                             
                                  Old Navy                                                                Eddie Bauer                                            

                

                            Forever 21                                                                                Levi's

I haven't been able to pull the trigger on any of them as none meet all of my criteria and I'm still not sure which wash I like the best.  I'm open to double or single pocket depending on how it fits.  One place I haven't looked yet are thrift stores so I'll be checking them out soon! 


Leave a comment with your suggestions, I would LOVE to hear them! Have a great weekend :)
