Varsity Jackets & Leather Sleeves

With the season changing I’ve been going through some girly girl fashions of winters past to some tomboy mid season game changers.

Key pieces to have: varsity jacket, men’s watch, plaid (perfectly paired with anything high waisted) and anything with leather sleeves!

You can still be a girly girl with your accessories, but nothing makes me feel stronger and sexy than some leather detailing and a little sheer action in my outfits.

Shoe Obessions

I am so finally happy to see that the snow is melting away with the weather is getting warmer! This of course means I’m one step closer to getting to strut around in some new summer footwear.

Nothing to add some fresh new life to an outfit than switching your boots for some sandals or colorful sneakers!

Outfit Post/Peek: Night Out Samara’s Bday!

Leather Skirt: H&M. Tights: House of Holland (asos.com)

AMAZING dessert from MBRGR to end an amazing meal & celebrate Samara's bday!

 

 

 

 

 

It has been a while so I figure instead of a long winded post, I thought I’d share a few pics of a great night out celebrating my friend Samara’s birthday! We went to MBRGR which is an amazing resto on Drummond with gourmet custom burgers and sinfully delicious fry baskets ( sweet potatoes and fried onions). As for dessert… just look at the pic of the that cookie! There are no words … since my mouth is full of food I can’t really talk.

 

For this (rare) night out I threw on a black sheer top ( fave village find to date), faux leather skirt from H&M and House of Holland tights (current obession).

Enjoy the pics i ‘borrowed’ from tristankurtz instgram feed. Boy was all artistic that night snappin pics like a pro. Follow him on instgram asap.

Throwback: Backback vs Luggage Briefcase

A girl really can’t have too much baggage, if it means I get any of these beauties its definitely a case of the more the better. These deserve to be flaunted around, photographed and coveted by the masses! I’m on board with the throwback to the back pack… I even recall being OBSESSED with one girl’s Jasmine Disney backpack in kindergarten (it even have jewels all over)! While nowadays I do find myself leaning more towards quilted and alligator/croc skin (The Row’s exclusive backpack<3) instead of polyester and plastic (which still sounds pretty awesome), there is a new style that was seen ruling the runaways as well….the luggage inspired handbags.

I love the mini, medium and mega versions of this trend, while of course when thinking of luxe luggage Louis Vuitton comes to mind, but for me right now the one that I want is MCM. Take note if you haven’t already ladies and gents this brand has been making a major comback in the recent years. Thanks to hiphop fashion forward men and women and MTLs very own Corey Shapiro, helping feed the needs and dreams of the MCM obsessed.

These bags are for women and men alike so while you could buy that special gift for the man or woman in your life instead of yourself remember…sharing is caring. Well make sure to let them know that when you run out the door with ‘their’ gift.
