What I Wore: Copycat

charlotte-olympia-jacob

Last Sunday, le bf and I took our amazing moms out to brunch at La Societe to celebrate Mother’s Day with yummy French Toast and Eggs Benny…because nothing says “I love you” like eggs and Nutella.

To mark the special occasion, I wore a pretty dress, paired with my fave kitty flats. And if my outfit looks strangely familiar to you…it might be due to the fact that I “borrowed” it from the lovely Alexa Chung. Only her dress was Valentino, and mine is from Jacob. That’s right…my outfit is decidedly more affordable AND (partially) Canadian. I mean, come on…I win, right? Right? Tell me I win and I’ll send you a cookie…it may or may not be fully baked and/or burned, but it’s the thought that counts, people!

What I Wore: Childish

zara-floral-pants-pastel

As we’re bracing ourselves for wind, snow, and slush…I thought I’d share one of my recent spring looks. The pastel floral pattern of these Zara jeans reminds me of children’s clothing for some reason, but I really don’t mind. In fact, I think I really love these jeans. Childish, or not.

I also love my new minty fresh H&M sweater. The open knit is easy and light enough to wear on cool summer nights…all summer long. IF it ever shows up that is.

Hope you had a great weekend, lovelies. Now excuse me, while I go dig out my parka out of the garbage bin.

What I Wore: Casual

stuart-weitzman-capsize

Sometimes all you need is a great pair of shoes. That’s all. No matter how casual the rest of your look is…throw on some amazing shoes, and you’re good to go. That’s what happened last weekend…lazy outfit instantly upgraded by a pair of lovely pumps.

These Stuart Weitzman Capsize pumps are everything I wanted in a spring shoe - perfect pastel pink color, metallic pointy toe, and a sturdy heel. Oh, and they come in “salad green” color too…which I might just have to go out and buy…because, HELLO! They are so pretty!

What’s your go-to shoe this spring season? Share in the comments!

What I Wore: Fringe

fringe-skirt-shoes

I’ve been so indecisive about this leather fringe skirt from Zara. Every time I’d stop by the store, I’d always pick it up…but then inevitably would drop it before getting to the cash register. The reason? I have a very similar dress from Jacob. But after literally months of back and forth…I figured I liked it enough to make the plunge, and as a result, I now have two fringed leather items in my closet, and I love it. Needless to say, le boyfriend is ecstatic. Not.

So what does one wear with a fringed leather skirt? A pair of super awesome Aldo Rise shoes, of course! This pair is quickly becoming a favorite in my shoe closet, because surprisingly it goes with pretty much everything I own (exhibit 1, exhibit 2). So please don’t judge if you see these again in another outfit post…I’ve been a little obsessed with them, but I’m getting help. I promise.

What I Wore: Boyfriend Jeans

boyfriend-jeans

Summer was here for a minute, and now the cooler temperatures are here to stay for a bit…or at least that’s what the unreliable weatherpeople tell us. So last week, as the last hurrah, I tried to wear as many summery outfits as possible, including a pair of my trusty boyfriend jeans. They are probably the most comfy pair I own…and I love wearing them both to bum around the house, and out to dinner. They are so versatile! I also threw on my new mint-colored tee from Zara to add a pop of pastels to my outfit. It’s not for everyone, but I think I kinda like it.

What I Wore: Dots, Stripes, and Velvet

h&m-dotted-pants

Here’s what I wore last weekend to Blogger Brunch at Hotel Le Germain in Toronto hosted by the lovely Marta of With Love Gabrielle, where I indulged in some yummy drinks and food, made new blogger friends, and had an amazing time.

After brunch, I changed my shoes, threw my leather jacket on the couch, and went for a lovely neighborhood walk with le bf, soaking up the sunshine like a sponge. And it was spectacular!

What I Wore: Taste The Rainbow

toronto-fashion-week-9

This is my outfit from Day 4 of Toronto Fashion Week (worn with a black Joe Fresh trench coat on top because it was bloody freezing). But my new pink skirt from Danier Leather’s OBJECT line is so worth a few goosebumps…am I right, or am I right? I also busted out my (also) new OBJECT clutch in neon green, which I simply adore and le bf heartily endorses. He actually told me that he likes it! (Which happens once in a…NEVER!) And last, but certainly not least…I wore a metal collar necklace from H&M. And I can’t tell you how many people asked me where I got it…but A LOT of people did.

So there you have it, folks…a little Canadian flare, mixed in with some low budget finds, and my future wedding shoes equals my fave outfit in a long while. Oh, and there’s peplum too!

What do you think? Let me know in the comments.

What I Wore: You Just Got Spotted

Last week, in case you couldn’t tell from all the Toronto Fashion Week-related posts…fashion week madness descended upon Toronto. Throngs of models, editors, photographers, and bloggers arrived daily at Pecaut Square tents to watch Canadian designers present their Fall 2012 collections. Flare Magazine once again challenged everybody to “Wear Canada” during Toronto Fashion Week, and sent the lovely photographer sisters Michelle and Gabby of You Just Got Spotted to capture the Canadian pieces worn by the attendees.

Having worn my new fave Aldo Rise shoes, and Joe Fresh skinnies, I was spotted, snapped, and featured! And since I didn’t actually take my own outfit photos that day, I’ve decided to share this one instead.

Do you have go-to Canadian pieces? Share in the comments!

What I Wore: Who Wears the Pants

striped jacket skinny pants

While standing in front of my closet, pondering what to wear to the office, I realized that I have a lot of cropped skinny work pants. As in…A LOT. In the summer, I am all about dresses…office dresses, flirty dresses, weekend dresses, summer dresses…you get the point. But in the winter – it’s all about pants. Because…duh, it’s cold outside!

H&M skinny pants fit me the best, but Zara trousers aren’t that bad either (though I always have to alter the length). I’ve tried wide-leg, bootcut, and other types of work pants, but skinny cropped ones are always my go-to. Hopefully, I’ll get to take more photos…and show off the rest of my budding “collection” soon.

I Wore: Jacket, Shoes – Zara; Shirt – Gap; Pants – H&M; Sunglasses – Elizabeth & James (Shopbop); Bag – Chanel; Necklace – Forever21; Brooch – Material Girl (The Bay)

Valentine’s Day: Last-Minute Gifts for Her

Okay, so truth be told…most of these gifts are not last-minute Valentine’s Day gifts for “her” per say, but mostly for me…Stuff that I like, find pretty/cute/adorbs, and wouldn’t mind getting this Valentine’s Day…*hints, nudges, and pokes all around* If you think your girlfriend/friend/wife/lovah might like the same things…well, more power to you…I think any of the above would make a sweet gift to the one you adore. Or just buy it all for yourself, because the relationship that you have with yourself is the most important one. Am I right, or am I right?

What do you want this Valentine’s Day? Aside from yummy chocolates, of course! Share in the comments. Or if you’re still undecided, click here for more Valentine’s Day gift ideas.

Giveaway: $100 Shopbop Gift Card

Some items that I still need to buy are: a couple of maxi skirts, some printed dresses for work (I adore the ones from Milly NY), and perhaps a pair of easy-breezy culottes for the hot summer weekends (DVF shorts, anyone?). But enough about me. I want to know what your must-buy item for the summer is, and in return, I will give one lucky winner $100 to spend at Shopbop on anything they’d like! Sounds like a good deal?
