Holiday Looks

My absolute favourite time of the year is christmas. I love having a reason to spend time with family friends, buy gifts and most of all get dressed up. I find that a lot of people find it hard to find effortless, affordable, stylish looks for many holiday occasions.

Below are a few looks that I think would make a great Holiday ensemble.

Teal Top $245.00; Sequin Pants $300.00; Sequin Top $76.00; Black Trousers $85.00; White Blouse $115.00; Teal Shorts $60.00; Skull Bracelet $357.00; Black Shoes $170.00

First of all, I think you can never go wrong with adding a little sparkle, such as a sequin shirt, top or sweater. I love sequins and the Holidays are the one time of year that you can get away with wearing them head to toe!

Red Dress $95.00; Nude pumps $130.00; Grey & black dress $99.99; Black pumps $110.00; Camel Dress $95.00; Black studded pumps $995.00

I also love the idea of a classic, conservative dress in rich jewel tones. It is sophisticated and polished yet stylish.

Look of the Week

Cream Tunic - Zara; Leggings - Aritzia; Watch - Michael Kors, Belt - Marciano

This week has been pretty cold and rainy, but it has been nice to get a little taste of fall and to be able to wear some of the chunky knits I purchased for the fall. This weekend is supposed to be beautiful so I am hoping to head to my cottage to enjoy probably the last weekend of summer weather. I was also able to do some shopping this week and I am super excited because I got a steal on a pair of Gucci ballerina flats - I will definitely post a picture of them! What is everyone up to this weekend?

Shimmer and Sparkle

I finally convinced my boyfriend to take some pictures of my outfit, so I have decided to start posting my outfits - hopefully on a weekly basis. Below is an outfit I wore up at the cottage/ shopping today. I made a trip to the bead store, so I will be posting my new pieces by the end of the weekend!

Top: H&M, Shorts: Michael Kors, Shoes: Sam Edelman, Watch: Michael Kors

This Peacock wondered over while we were taking pictures and of course we had to get a few shots of it. We figured out that it was a female based on her colouring, so we named her Mary.

Wedding Style

I am super excited because tomorrow my good friend Katie is getting married! I have been looking forward to this day since we became good friends while working together last year. I know it is going to be absolutely beautiful. Below is the picture of my outfit that I plan on wearing to the reception. I purchased the dress from Holt Renfrew, which I splurged a little on. More pictures to come after the big day!
