Fashion

Okay, so I wanted to write this post for those of you that have just started following me or for anyone that would like to know a bit more on how and why I created this platform. Well…to start, I can literally say that fashion has always been my obsession! Since a young age, I was always dressing up or thinking up new and interesting items I wanted to make that you couldn’t find at a store…

Summer is here and that means things are heating up.  But with the heat also means we are all layering ourselves in plenty of suntan oils, lotions, perfumes and hopefully getting lots of time in the water. So this typically means we have to set aside our precious jewelry pieces as certain materials can’t withstand all these different elements.  They will either discolour or tarnish.  So when I heard about Hey Harper Shop that sells stainless steel jewelry, I was very intrigued…

It’s no secret that our heritage affects our day to day way of life…the way we think, act or especially the food we eat. But what I’ve recently been focusing on is how much our roots can affect our style.  Of course every country or city has their own trends but how does our heritage from another country still affect the way we dress?…

Fall is here and so are some great new trends! Ever since fashion month this past September, I’ve been keeping my eyes and ears peeled!  Watching and waiting to see what trends will be a hit this Fall 2019. I’m here to tell you that knee-high boots are back and coming in strong! Shop my favourite styles…

Oh the one piece…just another style that’s made a comeback. 
I really love that we have slowly started to return to the styles and silhouettes that I believe are much more flattering for women than those I grew up with…so glad low rise is a thing of the past!  And so is the attitude that you don’t necessarily have to be in a string bikini to be sexy…

As far as trends go, I usually try them in their most classic form possible. The odd statement piece is typically as far as I’ve gone when it comes to embellished, exaggerated or “eye-catching” glam.  I’ve expressed many times my love for a neutral-toned pallet.  I look toward designers or fashion icons whose classic wardrobe choices have made a mark on fashion that will not fade. But there is one trend that has been catching my eye as it continually fills my social media feed…

If you’re not a local to Alberta, then let me introduce you to one of the biggest festivals in all of Canada.  Today is the first day of the Calgary Stampede where the majority of Calgarians will be joining in on many festivities over the next ten days.  With so much to see and do, its pretty essential to have some great outfits!  If you need some inspiration, I’ve put together a selection of seven complete looks that can be easily found at Calgary’s Chinook Center…

Okay, so it’s official…retro is in! But It’s not just high-waisted mom jeans, and crop tops.  We’re talking slip dresses, overalls, chunky heels, bold colours, loud prints and so much more. But I can say a new favourite of mine is the flared denim. Throwing on these Denim Forum flare jeans was actually really fun.  They give off that young, sexy, flirty vibe that’s seriously 70’s.   But there are a few things to remember when giving the flare a go…

Hello Spring…is that you? The gorgeous weather we’ve been having the last few days is a bit of a tease that another sunny season is just around the corner.  So I couldn’t help myself but to cave and pull out some of my favourite warm-weather essentials.  My denim mini-skirt is definitely a top item on that list. The mini-skirt has been a popular item for quite some time now.  But how it’s been worn is another story…
