GOLDEN GLOBE STYLE: MUSTARD

January 12, 2016January 14, 20163 Comments

As the stars flocked to the red carpet to celebrate the 73rd annual Golden Globes, everyone was waiting to see who would WOW with their stunning gowns and make the best dressed list. But let’s face it – as gorgeous as these gowns are, the majority of us don’t have an awards show on our agenda. Instead, you’re likely heading to work, a bar for drinks with your girlfriends, or maybe even a date. So how do we get our favourite star’s look? Pick your favourite red carpet elements and find ways to adapt them into our everyday wardrobe! I’ll be showing you how to do this, all week, with a few fashion and makeup looks.

Everyone was talking about Jennifer Lopez’s mustard yellow gown. She accented it perfectly with silver accessories and dark red lips and nails, and totally owned that carpet! If this colour is more bold than you’re used to, try pairing it with neutral accessories for day look, perfect for the office. Did Jennifer Lopez’s dress make your list of favourites? How would you add mustard to your look? Let me know in the comments!

MY STYLE: PEPLUM TOPS

December 28, 2015

Happy Holidays, everyone! After a few fun-filled days of family, food, and gift giving, most of this chilly afternoon will be spent relaxing with the fella, binge watching House Hunters International (it’s a guilty pleasure), and bringing you one of my favourite fashion trends of the moment : Peplum Tops.

Peplums are a magical strips of fabric that are gathered and attached to the waist of a jacket, blouse, skirt, or dress. Why magical, you ask? No matter what your body type may be, peplums draw your eyes inward, giving the illusion of an hourglass shape. Bonus – they’re super comfy, so you get the shape without having to wear uncomfortable, constricting shapewear. Dressing up during the holidays is all about having fun and feeling fabulous, and peplums have you covered!

These sparkly numbers are a local find from Your Big Sister’s Closet in Toronto. The white one caught my eye immediately, reminding me of a fresh blanket of twinkling, white snow. I left with the white one, the matching royal blue version, and a list of holiday parties I knew they would be perfect for. Which colour is your favourite?

STAR WARS GIFT GUIDE

If you’re looking for the perfect Star Wars gift to give the Jedi on your Christmas list, Torrid has you covered! Just in time for today’s release of The Force Awakens, they’ve launched a Star Wars themed collection featuring shirts from the dark side, accessories fit for a Rebel, and everything in between. My personal favourites from the collection – the faux leather coin purses in the likes of Yoda, C3PO, Vader, and a Stormtrooper. They won’t break the bank and you can bring the force with you wherever you go. In the words of Yoda, “Everyone’s favorite person at Christmas will you be!”
