Four reasons why you should be buying your sunglasses and eyeglasses from Polette.

 

1. They have the lowest prices on the market.

2. A vast array of original frames which are trendy and with great quality.

3. They omit the wholesaler and the importer so goods are sent to you directly from factories.

4. I actually don't need another reason. Check them out and you'll thank me that you did.

 

 

Where do you get your fashion inspiration from? I get mine from other bloggers, brand lookbooks, movies, etc.

Last year, I laced up my sneakers around my ankle rather than your typical bunny ears tie.

I thought it was pretty cool and as you can see from my Instagram, still do it to this day. Lace-up anything is incredibly trendy now so I fit right in :)

I got my inspiration from the movie Only You featuring Marisa Tomei and Robert Downey Jr. It's an older movie from 1994 and if you're a hopeless romantic as I am, you'll love it just as much as I do. God knows how many times I've seen it and can probably recite the entire film out to you.

Thinking back on the film, I realize that not only are the way she tied her sneakers in the film trendy, but other outfits as well are pretty relevant today.

Shop a few looks below and if you haven't watched the movie yet...in the words of Ellie Goulding, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Last night I had the great opportunity to preview MarcCain’s FW16 collection.

Where does one go to shop over 6000 designer brands of women, men, kids, clothing, accessories and much more?

Hiphunters is your one stop shop where you can purchase carefully selected key items of the season from up and coming designers as well as some household favourites. Shop right from the comfort of your own home while laying in your nighty sipping on some tea and eating crumpets. I actually had to Google what crumpets were as I've just heard it in movies but didn't know what they actually were. I'm Canadian...I shop while laying in a flannel onesie, wrapped up in a blanket, sipping on hot chocolate and eating Timbits. Don't judge!

Ok, mind off the Timbits and let's focus on shopping.

 

Here is an outfit I created, which I wish I were wearing at the moment, with all styles chosen from Hiphunters women's market clothing section as well as the women's market shoes section, and more..

 

jeans: Isabel Marant
top: Bomee
shoes: Liam Fahy
sunnies: Linda Farrow
bag: Lara Lindsay


And here's another outfit that I will change into once my feet are killing me from heels above.

t-shirt: ATM
joggers: Yeezy Adidas
shoes: Saint Laurent

You know when I discover something amazing jewelry-related I HAVE to share.

You know me...I'm the "wedding ring and GTFO" kinda gal. The simpler, the better. It's not that I don't love jewelry, I just don't always find something that floats my boat, or ices my cake, or tru---you get it. But then, I found it. The jewelry company that would change the way I accessorize. Original jewelry of UNOde50 has the type of stuff that makes me want to add a little something here and there every single day. And I know a lot of women and men are sensitive to cheaper jewelry so I was really happy to see that these styles are of great quality silver plated, gold plated, some even use authentic Swarovski. See these fashion necklaces for women yourselves.

I was especially taken with their Valentine's Day collection (Heartcrush), a mix of leather and brushed silver pieces all incorporated into arrows and hearts. The type of thing you can see Shakira wearing, or someone edgy that likes suede and leather like Luanna from the ever so cool blog Le Happy (see below inspiration). Although they don't make especially dainty items, you can kind of see their more delicate pieces as being quite substantial. When I'm shopping online, the rule is this: for every 3 pieces of jewelry I get myself, I have to get 1 for my husband. I mean it's only fair right? It's actually not a problem because their men's jewelry is SO nice, and SO manly. But how can you go wrong with handmade pieces, #amirite? The feeling of letting go of mass-produced items that your friend and her mother own is extremely liberating.

I'm now obsessed with pairing all my leather jackets and fringe suede vests with this massive silver jewelry. They go so well together that I just have to wear a plain white tee, some jeans and whatever shoes I wanna wear. I usually switch up my black leather combat boots for stiletto's or a chunky sandal if we're going out later that day. Drinks, anyone?

I was contacted by the insanely adorable Ayesha from Farfetch asking if I'd like to take part in a contest they have running...#FarfetchMonsterComp. Without even blinking, or thinking it through, I naturally said YES!! MY GOD OF COURSE YES!!! Because, I mean..it's Farfetch people! 

After I managed to contain myself, I read through to see what this challenge entailed. No nudity involved, phew! All I had to do was create a set showcasing a Fendi Monster piece. 

The Fendi Monster is arguably the most stylish and luxurious monster to date with its colorful fur, peekaboo or menacing monstrous eyes, and large fluffy eyebrows. (Sounds a little like me...grrr) It has evolved from its Bag Bug keyrings, to a complete range that includes rucksacks, shoes, jackets, and more. Even the classic Fendi Baguette has been embellished to show off its monstrous side!

So instead of just throwing around some random items in a set, I decided to create an outfit that I would actually wear...in public...with at least one of these "monster" items.

If I were going on a date on October 31st, I'd definitely be rocking this Halloween Chic look :)

I've said it and I'm sorry but yes...it's that time again...Back to School. eek!

My school days are long gone but I remember those days like they were yesterday. And let me tell you, it wasn't the making new friends part that bothered me, new courses, new schedule, waking up early again, blah blah blah...I was fine with all of that. But, choosing a first day outfit, now that turned a few hairs grey. Blame it on the fashionista in me. Betch!!

Anyway, to help make it a little easy for you guys, I came up with 4 different ensembles to aid in your decision making.

If any of you would like any tips on "what to wear" and "wear to buy", please feel free to contact me. Let me do the thinking process and hard work for you because you already have a tough year ahead of you as it is.

"I only got 10 likes in the last half hour, do you think I should take it down?"

Story of our lives, glued to Instagram or Facebook. But that's life, now! We are all addicted to social media. And our jobs now require us to work from computers and laptops for, like, 8 hours a day (that's a third of your day!!!). When you calculate how much time you spend looking at a screen vs another human being, it's cray. Bet you don't even remember how ugly your brother is.

(Not so) fun fact: 150 times. That's the average number of times you'll ogle your instafeed and sext text your bf in a day.

 

It's time to improve the quality of time we spend in a virtual universe. It's time for, drum roll please...

 

E-POLETTE.

Did I mention they look amazing? So trendy, you gotta get a few pairs. They're non-prescription glasses, for all you faux-hipsters out there. Go ahead, I dare you to treat your baby blues.
