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.





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:
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.

Victoria Day Shopping Haul


It is usually hard to get back into the swing of things after a long weekend.  And in my case, I was greeted to a pile of marking and a multitude of problems on Tuesday morning.  So I couldn't be happier that it's already Friday, thank goodness for the short week!


If you've been following me on instagram (@amy_lovinglately)  then you already know I spent my weekend cross border shopping.  Here's what's inside the bag:
 
Ann Taylor Skirt, Hollister Plaid Shirt, and Banana Republic Dress.

H&M Blazer and Sleeveless Shirtdress


Total Retail Value for all 5 items: $259.38
What I paid: $92.34
That's a total savings of ~64%! Not to0 shabby :)


I was super excited to find that sleeveless shirtdress in my size.  I have wanted it ever since Jean and Elle posted about it but unfortunately I don't have an H&M in my city.  And it was a bonus that H&M had this coupon for 35% off one item :)  The rest of the items (skirt, blazer & shirt)  were great basics  that I was lacking and the other dress is perfect for summer weddings that I'll be attending!


You might have noticed that none of the items are from LOFT despite the logo on the bag, that's because I couldn't find anything in my size.  However there were some great deals at the LOFT outlet (extra 30%) that my mom and sister picked up.


I also posted this pic about some $0.30 deals at target.  I'm always on the lookout for clearance sections and target always has some great deals at the front of the stores.  



Have a great long weekend my American friends, now it's your turn :)

Currently Craving Neutrals?

While this spring is all about color, I'm suddenly craving the lovely neutral toned items shown below.  Perhaps this craving is a result of an overload of color in the stores or maybe it's due to my love of classic pieces.  Whatever the reason I just can't help but be drawn to neutrals at the moment! Luckily as they are all neutral, every piece will go nicely with the neon and pastel trend.  

I'm especially in love with all the blazers and I'm definitely going to be on the lookout for a light colored one like those below.  If you have any suggestions feel free to share, I love reading all your comments :)
