Working in the industry and travelling to take in and photograph works of art it is a huge passion of mine. Whenever I see fabric or clothing designs that remind me of architecture can't resist buying it. I enjoy when designers think outside the box and create interesting pieces from something so basic.  I have been on the search for a bralette with edgy details around the décolletage for a long time, so when I came across this caged one from SheIn, I was elated.  The cool, contemporary style looks amazing layered under basics or worn on it's own as a workout top or bathing suit top (I wouldn't actually wear it in the water). It...

The Summery LBD

II shop the look  dress: SheIn hat: Top Shop clutch: YSL   shoes: Sears  sunnies: Marc Jacobs  necklace: Yoshi-Bella  watch: Medium Watches   Every woman needs a little black dress... or 4 in their wardrobe. I believe it is important to have a few LBD's for different occasions and seasons. Moving into summer the perfect LBD is a flowy silhouette in a breathable fabric for those warm summer days and breezy nights. Cotton, Linen or poly blends allow your skin to breath and give a summery feel to your look. Choose an interesting cut and fun shoes that give your look some flare. I paired these cute snakeskin lace ups with this LBD to create a classically chic look with a fun summery boho vibe. I like how this dress incorporates the cold shoulder trend with a timeless, easy to swear silhouette. Wearing a shorter silhouette with a more voluminous shape is a sexy opti...

Although I like a variety of styles, I find it important to have my classic go-to's, then I work from there adding toss cushions to a well made, neutral sofa, or add a trending piece of jewelry to update my suit etc. When I came across Yoshi-Bella Snap Jewelry I was instantly intrigued. The Calgary, Canada based brand designs timeless bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings with a unique customizable approach. Each base piece is...

I can not wait for warm, sunny days to spent by the water. I am too ready for bikini season to get here so I put together some of my fave must haves including this   see through bikini   and  k imono cardigan.  Of course my picks are all monochrome, because not only is that a strong trend this season, but it's my fave colour palette - if you will call black & white a colour palette :P.                                            Top Left I    Black Spaghetti Straps Coco Print Bikini - This is a chic version of the very popular palm leaf/palm tree print that is in big in both home and fashion right now. I love the strappy detail on the bottom and the simple triangle shape that is flattering for many body types. I love this suit because both top and bottom could easily be mixed and matched for easy...

Seeing Stars

details II Dress: Primark  I  Jacket: Helmut Lang  I  Clutch: YSL   I   Shoes: Christian Louboutin   I   Stacking   Rings: Jennea  Frischke Jewelry   I  Polish: Sally Hansen  While shopping for my Givenchy Antigona years ago, I was debating between the limited edition stars or the classic style. I still daydream about the star details, however, after 5 years I am still loving the simplicity of the original bag design. I tend to choose timeless staples for my core handbags and footwear, then add fun/trendy clothing or small accessories to create an up to date look.   When I saw this star printed dress, it immediately reminded me of that star Antigona that I was torn between. Wearing a dress, blouse or pant that can be layered to change up the look is often a better option than on a pair of shoes or handbag you may get tired of ...

There is More to Personal Style Than Fashion

I feel like that is a loaded question. As a true fashionista I can work with just about anything and find myself drawn to an array of pieces. I'm not overly into trends, but transform my looks to be current. My wardrobe is quite eclectic with many different patterns, colours, textures and styles. Although I can be all over the place with prints and colours, I tend to be drawn to solid neutrals (a lot of black as you all know) and streamlined silhouettes. I like to mix feminine with masculine, so if I wear lace fo...
