birthday week

I haven’t blogged in a long time, but I thought I would start again! Just recently, I started going out and doing things again after a 2 year hiatus. I recently purchased a few items off shein for my birthday. The first item is a one shoulder top . I love the floral detail and it’s a perfect look for spring. Recently, I have been working out with a personal trainer via zoom and I’m proud of how far my arms have come so I thought why not show them off! I styled them with white leggings from uniqlo and neutral colored heels. I also bought two coats from shein. First, a dark green coat, and second, a trench coat, both from shein. Although both coats are not expensive and neither have pockets, I really loved the style of both. The arm details with the poofy sleeves on the trench coat is completely my style! I also found a beautiful scarf at my favorite store here in Canada, called Simon’s (a French Canadian store)and I belted it around my coat. I feel it elevates the outfit and adds a bit of excitement to an otherwise average outfit. My fashion tip that I give to everyone is show off the parts of your body that you are most comfortable with or that you feel most confident and for me, it’s my stomach so I love belting coats. Another tip is when you buy cheaper coats from a store like shein !)a good tip is to get rid of the belt they supply and add your own. It usually makes the coat look more expensive and adds a unique style . 😎 Lastly, for my birthday my grandmother in law got me a classic polka dot dress. I wanted to bring my own style so I added socks with oxfords from zara

great coat , added a Michael kors belt

I added a scarf and belted it for an extra cool look

I’ve always detested hot weather and summer fashion, but I thought this summer with all the craziness going on in 2020, why not embrace it? I’ve had more free time since ive been off from work. I even ordered a pineapple summer dress from Amazon that I can’t wait to get! One of the things I’ve learned is that you dont have to get rid of your summer clothes in the winter or vice versa no matter where you live! We’ve had 90 degree weather here by me and I’m still able to wear my winter clothes for cool evenings! Here’s a few examples!

The first photo is me wearing a skirt I got at uniglo , as you can see I threw on a blazer to stay warm even in the winter months! 😄

The second photo is flowered shorts I got , but if some of you like me, like to hide your arms 🤣 or just want to feel covered up for the summer, then throwing on a blazer is a great touch! This one is from guess and I have one in white that is identical and totally light and not at all heavy!

3rd photo is me wearing a button down shirt that I usually wear in the fall or winter with a jean skirt that I wear in the spring! Sometimes, if its cooler out, I’ll even roll up thd sleeves on the shirt, but I love that I still get go incorporate these clothes in the summer!

Michael kors belt!

A few weeks back, I purchased a dress shirt from H&M . After I bought it I realized it was kind if long and not really my style. I tried to wear it with tights and boots, but it just did not feel like my style as it had more of a hippy look to me. Then my sister gave me a Michael Kors belt for Christmas and I thought it would make the dress look a little shorter, almost more like a long shirt and it worked! I pared it with my zara liquid leggings and I felt it was more my style! I also found a super cute Steve Madden purse that looks way more expensive then the 19 dollars at marshals I found it for!! 😂 My sunglasses are also steve madden. I love Zara leggings, but I find I have to buy then one size smaller than I usually wear or they bunch up kind of oddly! They are great quality though and I feel like even though the they were 50 dollars they are as good quality as some of the 100 dollar ones I have seen! So. My recommendation is if you don’t like something you bought try adding a belt, a jacket, or some accessory to see if you like the look better before giving it away to a friend or to a thrift store! Have a great Thursday!!!

Happy new years!

Today on New Years Eve my husband and I decided since we are both not feeling to well that we would relax and take it easy..for lunch we had bread bowls at Panera bread and cheese danishes. 😊 I decided to wear a simple yet stylish outfit. I’m wearing my snake shirt I found at H&M for only 20 dollars, a pair of black Jean’s from old navy, my jacket is a beige peacoat (karl Lagerfeld), my sunglasses, braclet, and purse are all from Guess. My scarf is very cozy and soft from Aldo….and my ankle boots are from Ardenes.(canadian store)…I have had 6 people ask where I got my shoes and all 6 people were shocked when I told them. Normally I like to buy better quality shoes but might I say they are super cute and surprisingly comfortable…I hope everyone has a safe and awesome 2019! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Well, guys, I haven’t written in a long time. My news year resolution is to take a new photo every day of my outfit, and blog, or post it to Instagram. After all, fashion is my passion! I have been so busy studying russian with my language partner that it leaves me very little free […]

My current obsession: Uniglo

 

 

 

 

My friend and I took a trip to New York City a few years back when I first introduced to Uniglo. The driver on our hop-on-hop-off tour bus described it as a “Japanese H&M” and so I was super excited to get off and do some serious shopping! (Let me add right here I have been obsessed with Japanese fashion and culture for as long as I can remember). However, when I entered the store I realized that Uniglo was not that similar to H&M. Unlike H&M which, (although I do like the store) in my opinion can sometimes feel like you are walking into the Ikea of fashion with crazy patterns and wild colors, Uniglo was more what every women and man want- staples pieces that go with every outfit. There I found a pencil skirt, a black blazer, and a really cool fun skirt!

Just recently I was told that they were building a Uniglo right downtown at the Eaton Center in Toronto where I live. I knew I had to go and check it out. What I was most impressed with was when I walked in was there were hundreds of different types of winter coats and spring jackets. “HEATTECH ” and “Japanese technology” were written on a lot of the clothes and I realized that it was lightweight clothing made to keep you warm in cold weather, but nothing felt heavy or uncomfortable.

I ended up buying a cool jacket. I did find the sizes to run a little bit smaller then what I’m used to with the coats and pants, but the sweaters and everything else is true to size. I have talked with friends and family who swear that the underwear, bras, and socks there last forever! Here are my Uniglo tights as well as my new blond highlights, I had to show them off!  My featured image is the Uniglo puffy coat. You can also check out my Uniglo youtube video where I am wearing my fun skirt I mentioned at the beginning of this page! Thanks for reading  and sorry if I butchered my pronunciation of uniglo in my video, it was an old one. LOL.  🙂  

Coach purse plus great finds at Marshals

For Christmas my husband’s best friends and wife bought me this gorgeous coach purse. I was so grateful for it! I knew that I wanted to get a pom pom tassel for it as I have a black one for my other coach purse. I also received a gift card from the in laws for my favorite store, Guess. I was shopping downtown a week ago and came across these three pomp pom’s from the guess accessories store and I fell in love. I just love the light colors and the way it looks with this lighter colored purse!

My 2017 resolution is to look nice, even if I’m just running errands and that is just what I did yesterday! I am wearing my Steve Madden scarf which is from Marshals. I love that you can find great deals at Marshals for half the price of what you would normally pay! I am wearing gray jeans and boots from Target. My long sweater is from Marshals as well.  I am also wearing my new Guess shirt in light mint green. I will link my youtube video for you so you can see the whole outfit! Thank you for taking the time to read this and have a great day, everyone! ❤ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZftPmSrSts

A Day at the zoo

Since I moved close to  Toronto two years ago, my husband and I have had seasons passes to the zoo. We are only fifteen minutes away and it’s a lot of fun since we both love animals so much! Today we decided to not only brave the Canadian cold, but hike the grizzly bear trail as well. It is an extremely steep hill and quite the work out to get up. One thing I love about the Toronto zoo is the animals have so much room to run, not like the Chicago zoo’s I grew up with. I knew that I wanted to dress comfortable, but I wanted to look stylish as well. Since we knew we would be getting a work-out in the winter we both opted to wear vests rather then wearing our winter coats and sweating our butts off! The sun ended up coming out most of the day and we had so much fun! Here are a few pictures that captured our day. Hope you enjoy 🙂

Me: shirt, vest and sunglasses all guess, yoga pants and fanny pack Victoria secret- (I’ve included an extra pic of fanny pack to make sure you wear it to the side for that extra cool look instead of looking like a nerd LOL) socks uniglo, shoes Target. My husband vest/shirt Banana Republic

Here is another day I wore my Victoria Secret pink fanny pack so you can see how I wear it to the side. Its perfect for going to the zoo or dog walks!

 

Michael kor’s boots!

HI, guys. I decided to start 2017 off right.  I am going back to blogging as I realized I have missed it a lot! I also am continuing to make my YouTube videos as well. It gets cold in Canada, but I purchased these Michael kors shoes. They were on sale at the Canadian store Holt  renfrew. If you guys have not been there it is an incredible store with name brand clothing. Everytime I go in i’m like a kid in a candy store. I hope that you guys are staying warm and I promise in the new year to keep up on all my followers blogs as well. Happy 2017 everyone!  Here is the link to my youtube video showing the boots. Hope you guys can watch! https://youtu.be/dW5cWJZW-w0

Ringing in October with new gold shoes!

Hello everyone! I just wanted to put up a quick picture of the shoes I found at Old Navy! Normally, I am not the biggest fan of the store, but every now and then I find something I love there (usually their shoes). They have a few other pairs of cute flats with different designs. I dressed my outfit up with my new necklace from Banana Republic! Hope everyone is having an awesome day! Next Monday my mom is coming up to visit for three weeks! We will be headed to Toronto to hang out, I’ll post some new fashion pics! 🙂
