Jewelled Pink

Sometimes making the most minor of changes to your daily routine will make you feel most glamorous. 

You must know by know that Easter is my favourite holiday. Not just for the influx of pastel coloured everything (which I am obviously obsessed with), but with Easter comes spring and the notion of revival and fresh life. Whether it be the grass or the gardens, there is definitely a sense of blossoming and blooming in the air, and I can't get enough. 

Even as a little girl I would always put my favourite floral or pastel coloured dress on for Easter celebrations with the family. This year will be no different. Besides the fact that it makes me totally nostalgic, I love the chance to pull out all my feminine pieces and get extra girly. I especially love this colour pairing; nude and pink is such a classically girly combination! To really up the glam factor I added my mom's vintage hair clip and created a semi up-do. It's a rare occasion for me to style my hair differently, but the little change made such a huge impact, not only to the outfit, but to how I felt. Instantly I felt so elegant and graceful, and it's something I will definitely be trying more of from now on. 

What's the one thing you do to instantly elevate your look? Is it an extra swipe of liquid eyeliner, or a bold lip? And let me know, will you be dressing up for Easter?

Suede Fringe

Tuesday was day one of Toronto Fashion Week for me. It was a busy day coming straight from work and I rushed into the tents to met up with Joëlle to catch the evening's shows. We casually ducked out for a matcha tea latte at Milano Expresso Bar and to snap pictures in between shows and made a fun evening out of it. I love how blogging has brought about such great friendships with other TO bloggers. It's so strange to think last year at this time I was attending my first ever TFW show, solo! If there is one thing Toronto definitely has going for it, it's the awesome community of bloggers supporting bloggers... at least that I have come across!  

This Soia and Kyo jacket was such a fun piece to wear! I love the fact that the company was founded in Montreal. Yay for wearing Canadian! The piece is just stunning-- the colour is timeless, the suede is extremely soft, it fits like a glove and the luxe fringe detailing just makes it a standout style! The coat is available at Lemonberry boutique, which I know I mentioned, but it truly is a shop you need to visit for one of a kind pieces! I felt like a rock and roll princess all evening, twirling around having the fringe dangle all around me. I pretty much could have jumped on the runway during the Ellie Mae presentation as her theme was definitely rock and roll sweetheart. The models pranced about to killer music showcasing bouncy curls, moody lips and edgy coats. 

What do you think of the coat? Timeless or too "du jour"?

Blushing Repeater

A weekend filled with sunshine and a killer to-do list makes this pastel lover a happy girl at that! I spent the weekend doing a few shoots (which I can't wait to share!), but it was just so nice to have the sun on our side. The spring like temperatures came out on Saturday which triggered me to finally wear these lace-ups flats that I am particularly obsessed with. I can't wait to couple them with more cropped pants and dresses as the weather gets warmer! But I must say... I am particularly loving them paired with this blush trench. This combo is going to be on serious rotation for the next little while! I believe they call it the "outfit repeater" (FF to 1:06...gotta love Lizzie!).

There really is something so lovely about dressing for spring, it's so natural and easy! Don't you think? Maybe it's just the summertime girl in me. By the way-- nearly every person who has asked where I purchased these jeans is shocked to discover it was at American Eagle. They are the most comfortable pair I own right now, and I would recommend this fit to anyone looking for a new skinny. So soft, but still have the denim feel that you'll want. Just a warning- you'll foot will go into each and every hole on the way into them! Oh, the struggle!

How have you started dressing for spring? And I'd love to get your take on firstly, the lace ups-- are you over them? And secondly, the jeans-- too holey for you or just the right amount of holey goodness?
