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?

 

 

Here's an outfit that is totally up my alley. Trendy sport :) I mean, you just can't go wrong. 7 piece head to toe outfit all for under $200 from Choies.

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

Some of you had these in high school, some of you have these now, some of you still have the ones you owned in high school. These worldwide recognized boots have been around for over 60 years and are still popular today. Dr. Martens can be worn all year round in boot form and in shoes as well. They come in array of wonderful colors and prints however the most popular being the 8 eyelet black leather bootie. They are made with durable leather, air cushioned soles, and offer good abrasion and slip resistance. An all-purpose footwear that will also keep you from feeling Jack Frost's bite.

Check out Union Jack Boots and buy a pair for your entire family. The family that looks cool together stays together :) And mommies or mommies to be out there, they also carry infant size...HOW CUTE!!!...and free shipping on orders over $75!

Still stuck on what to get a loved one for Christmas, give them the gift of style.

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.

The Coachella countdown is on. I will not be there but will be living the dream vicariously through my Instagram feed of the lucky cats who are attending. I digress!

So "festival season" will be commencing in less than a week and you still have no idea what to wear. Here are a few ideas among many that I have floating in my head if I were to be going but am not...ok I'll let it go :(

As I'm sure you've seen on your instagram and blogroll feeds, many fashionista's are donning lace-up ballet flats. The laces give this classic shoe shape an edgy revamp. 

They can be worn with dresses to create a pretty outfit for a brunch date or perhaps a picnic date, which I feel more men nowadays should get in the habit of instigating. Or liven up a basic tee and boyfriend jeans ensemble for a cool everyday look.

My point is, if you haven't caught on yet...get the damn shoes! They are a must for Spring/Summer 2015.

 Palladium was founded in 1920 to make aircraft tires for the aviation industry. In 1947, after the end of WWII saw demand for tires dry up, Palladium put their canvas and rubber expertise to use by making boots that were as hard wearing as their tires. Palladium soon became outfitters of the legendary French Foreign Legion with their classic canvas Pampa boot. Over 60 years later, the timeless design of Palladium's signature Pampa boot is relevant as ever and available once again for explorers worldwide. Check out their men's, women's and kid's collections here.

 

Coachella in the US is like Osheaga in Canada. It stands as the largest music and arts festival of its kind in Canada. 

For it's ninth edition, Osheaga promises fans an unforgettable festival experience with an ultra cool musical line-up such as Outkast, Jack White, Arctic Monkeys, Lorde, Foster The People, Haim, and so so much more.

Unfortunately I totally wish I could go this weekend and if I were to go, this is such a "me" festival fashion outfit.

What would you wear?
