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

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.

3 stripes you're...in? That's right. EVERYONE's in when sporting stripes.

 

Except you, Patrice. Nobody asked you.

 

Stripes have been on the rise these past few seasons, straying away from the traditional "sailor" look and getting integrated into pretty much every look possible. Move over, basic tee, hello striped relaxed tee.

With old saying "stripes make you look wide" being tossed out the window, we've clearly proven them (whoever "them" is *cough* PATRICE *cough cough*) WRONG.

 

As casual as the loose striped tee may be, you can pair it with the ever so popular lace up pointy flats *tips hat "m'lady"* to make it appropriate for work (unless you take your clothes off at work, then more power to ya). The loose tee is usually long enough for leggings, so you can do that, but if it isn't, leggings aren't pants and I can see your camelt--never mind.

 

What I'm trying to say is, go for a jogger pant if you're not sure about the whole cooch covering ratio.

What I will actually say is, get a striped tee, betch, life is too short. But not short enough to wear leggings as pants. That's just. Ugh.

 

Here's the scoop: I still love to play dress up. I'm married, and getting married was one of the best days of my life. Highlight moment? Picking out and wearing my wedding dress. Because I was Heidi Klum for the day and no one could tell me otherwise. When it comes to weddings and proms, getting the perfect dress is like getting half the work done. And it's also an occasion to be OTT (over the top) and do all that glam hair and makeup that goes with fabulous bridesmaid dresses, wedding dresses, prom dresses, you name it.

Put away your frayed denim skirts because it's all about the "clean jean" skirt. But wait for it...with buttons!

Button down skirts are the hottest rage. Length don't matter and neither does fabric but it's got to have buttons going down the front center. Denim and suede however are the most popular choice. And yes again, all due to the 70's fashion trend this season. However I do see this skirt trend going through Fall as well. So get on it ladies.
