Tulle Perfection

Thanks to BEE, for months now I have been craving a tulle skirt.  I've scoped out many different retailers trying to find the perfect one.  But nothing seemed to fit the bill, until this one. For my birthday, one of my best girl friends Jaycee, who is also an extremely talented clothing designer, gifted me this tulle/lace skirt.  From the neutral palette to the two feminine textures, it was pure tulle perfection.  I can't get enough of it!! I've been holding off to show off this skirt on the blog, until it would start warming up.  But since there is no sign of this polar vortex leaving the East anytime soon, I couldn't wait any longer.  How do you feel about the tulle trend?  Are you into it?   
Wearing: Skirt [Jaycee Wall], Sweater [H&M], Shoes [Zara] similar, Necklace [Target] also love this one, Belt vintage.

Snow Day

There is something about fresh snow that makes the city look so magical.  I didn't spend much time in the snow this weekend as Ty and I had a productive weekend working on our place, as you may have seen on Instagram.  We've been living in this place for a few months now, but with our hectic schedules, it took us a while to get to some of our bigger projects.  It's so nice to see our place finally coming together.
On boxing day my mom and I tackled the mall, as we always do, it's sort of our tradition.  We found some GREAT deals including this bow blouse I had been eyeing up previous to boxing day.  I love layering it in these cooler months.  

Wearing: Coat [Winners] similar, Shirt [J. Crew], Blouse [Smart Set] similar, Necklace [Dyrberg Kern], Pants [J Brand], Socks [Betsey Johnson], Bag [Le Chateau] similar, Boots [Nine West] similar.

Thanks so much for stopping by & have a fabulous week,

Bundle Up!

Toronto! Why are you SO cold right now?  It's seriously SO FREEZING cold here.   It's been a challenge for me to find a good time to shoot pictures outdoors this week due to our cold spell.  So, this equals me in many warm layers, including this fab faux fur vest I got for Christmas, and obviously a warm parka, which is not pictured.  When it's cold like this, you can't help but dream of Spring temps and Spring colours, which led me to wearing this pop of hot pink--my favourite!
What are you up to this weekend?  Whatever you do, I hope you stay warm--you better BUNDLE UP!


Wearing: Faux Fur Vest gifted, Shirt old, similar, Jeans [American Eagle] similar, Lip Pendant [Forever 21], Crystal Necklace [J. Crew], Rings [Aldo Accessories], Boots [The Bay] similar.

Bubble Gum

Gloomy winter is the perfect time for a pop of colour in your wardrobe or beauty routine!  Nothings says happy to me like a pop of bubble gum PINK!  Though, I will admit I was a little hesitant at first on such a bold lip colour, it sure put a smile on my face on this wintery day.  How are you keeping the wintery blues away?

Ask Sare: Dressing a Pear Shaped Body

Hey Lovelies!  Welcome to another Ask Sare.  I am excited to be hearing more questions from you lately.  For this week's Ask Sare, a reader was curious about the best way to disguise a larger bottom on a pear shaped body.
The outfit I styled was inspired by the idea of focusing on the waist, which for a pear shaped body I find most important.  It draws the eyes to the smallest part of your body, instead of the largest.  Whether it's a high waisted skirt/pants (like these photos), a belt detailing at the waist or a fit and flare dress, these are my favourite ways to extenuate the smallest part on a pear shaped body.  Here are some other guidelines for dressing a pear shape: keep bolder patterns for the top, statement necklaces are a great way to draw the attention up from your hips and clean lines are always best for bottoms.

[Statement necklaces & ruffles near the face are a great way to draw the eye up.]

Have a fabulous weekend & keep sending me those questions!

Mexico Roundup

An impromptu girls trip to Mexico to start off 2014 was much needed and enjoyed!  Lots of laughs and relaxing was the perfect way to start off the year.  My wardrobe consisted mostly of swimsuits and beach coverups, oh, and my new favourite mini floral crown.  As much as I'd love to keep wearing these beachy pieces, I'm back to reality in Toronto now anxiously anticipating Spring.  Here's a tiny roundup of my beachy getaway.
