Summer is the perfect time for styling a dress, and I find cotton/jersey blends to be both comfortable and chic. This bandeau style would be quite fitting for bargain shopping at a tourist-y farmers market or strolling beachside.
When I first saw this bandeau dress by Splendid, I knew it would be completely comfortable. The brainchild of Moise Emquies — a […]

Save the colour, don’t these two cardis look similar? You’ve got to love Victoria’s Secret for their spot-on style. What their products lack in quality, they make up for with bargain pricing. On the opposing side, Theory makes a high-quality garment, but — like anything in life, — quality will cost you.
What I love about this Theory […]

Animal prints are classic; although they’re frequently stamped on trendy pieces — 50s wasp-waist skirts and platform heels – an animal print sweater is a piece you’ll keep in your wardrobe for several seasons.
I love a chic, fitted cardi done in a neutral print, like these designs by Bruno Manetti and Forever 21. Bruno Manetti’s animal print cardigan is pure […]

Dressing right for this spring and summer is all about including some tribal influences and safari style in your wardrobe. 2008’s classic uniform includes anything done in a crisp khaki — jackets, shirt dresses, or skirts – cinched with a fabulous skinny belt in a bright colour. I’m loving khaki skirts that hit just above the knee, done in a […]

I’m all about totes for carrying around everyday essentials, and there’s something so classic about a tote done in black and white. I prefer to carry a canvas tote for my day-to-day activities, but a leather tote is an elegant option for put-together, professional look.

What I love about sash-waisted belts is their versatility — they provide women with a way to cinch their waists or accentuate their hips — and no matter how sash-waisted belts are worn, they always look classic.
Michael Kors’ woven belt is beautiful — albeit pricey — and available in a dark brown or metallic gold […]

These sequin mini dresses — one by Tibi, one by Alexandra Dillon for Victoria’s Secret — are two super stylish ways to wear sequins. And while from a distance these daring dresses look almost identical (except in colour), there are some distinct differences of which to take note.
Tibi’s t-shirt dress is 100% silk, so its sequins stand out and […]

Save a glammy holiday party, I’m not sure where I’d wear a full-out sequined mini.
Good thing the holidays are here.
Compare this sequined mini from ASOS to one by Theory at Neiman Marcus. Though Theory is one of my favourite brands as far as quality is concerned, I much prefer flashy silver sequins to subdued deep copper. If […]
