Stripes!

Hey loves!

I love wearing stripes in all of the seasons, they are a basic in my closet. Some say that stripes are flattering and other say otherwise. I think it all depends on your body type and how you wear them. Wearing stripes in vibrant colours will add attention to you and darker colours such as black will have the opposite effect.

Horizontal stripes are my favourite because I have a boxy figure. Wearing the  horizontal lines on the top and bottom enhance my figure.  The neutral wedges will lengthen the legs and the chunky necklace will add a pop of colour to the outfit!

Summer Must Haves: Nail Colours

Hey Lovlies!

Nothing says summer more then some bright hues on your nails to brighten up the day, right? I find that  nail polish is the perfect way to play with seasonal colours without spending a fortune and adding wardrobe pieces that will never get worn again.

Use this nail colour guide to get summers best colours, and see what fun ways you can think of to paint your nails. The bright sea foam green is a must have, as well as chartreuse green for those later summer days! The coral and purple are less subtle brights, and the classic ballerina pink is a staple for every season.

Have fun painting!

Splurge or Save: Cat Eye Sunglasses

if its anything like the weather here in Toronto, despite it being summer there is no need for sunglasses with all the rain. But we like to stay optimistic right? The glass is always half full :) So we are planning ahead for the summer months. 

Oliver Peoples Eyewear Alisha Polarized Glasses || Forever XXI Half Frame Cat-Eye

This summer try the cat eye sunnies with a twist. With only the half frame, these sunnies are not as heavy on the face, and allow for a more vintage combination look. Available in an assortment of frames and colours, these sunnies are suitable for everyone.
