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.

Lustworthy: Helmut Lang Blazer

The ERA Suiting Blazer. Helmut Lang. $645


Dancing away in my dreams is this lovely blazer by Helmut Lang. It has a femenin feel matched with a masculine edge thanks to the assymetrical cut, and oh so sexy black (oh how i wish it was leather) detail really makes it a fashion stand out.

NYFW StreetStyle: Crisp


Streetstyle snaps that are loaded with swag, shot by photographer Maciek Wilkos. While I unfortunately had to stay hear eyes glued to my computer during NYFW, I finally had a little time to myself to give you this much belated post! Enjoy yourself, get inspired, go shopping!

BHM at NYFW. All Black Everything

NYFW has come and gone and while we’re all still sifting through the beautiful collections of designers and dreaming up new additions to our wardrobes, I will be adding additional musing to my mood board. No, not a specific collection or material or cut, but color….BLACK. Yes black as in ‘All Black Everything’ a la Jay-Z, and wearing black in order to help lead a more colourful life. But the most important reason that Black has such a powerful presence to me this month is of course Black History Month.

While yes I am appreciative that we have this month to look towards our past in order to gain perspective for our future. We must never forget, that our history no matter where it might originate from, can in no way be summed up in one month. Read More »

Mood Board/Trend Report: Slicked Back Sex Appeal

GIORGIO ARMANI S/S 2012

While obsessively looking through the Michael Pitt for Prada photos and the new campaign pics for the Spring/Summer collections something stood out….it seems the short and even long slicked back hairstyle was EVERYWHERE. From Chanel to Gucci S/S 2012 is showcasing a sexy strong hair trend that’s pretty easy to do, but should be saved for those with the face shape and cheekbones to pull it off…aka not me.
