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!”

MY STYLE: BOHO CHIC

November 19, 2015November 20, 2015Leave a comment

If you know me, it’s no secret that I love, love, LOVE dresses (pants? what are those?) so you will almost always see a dress included in my style boards. Besides, it would be kinda silly for me to showcase different fashion looks that I don’t even wear, right? Right! So, before December rolls around and the blog enters holiday mode, I wanted to share another one of my favourite fall looks: bohemian dresses.

These dresses are fabulous pieces to add to your wardrobe because of their versatility. For the really chilly fall days, all of these dresses pair perfectly with some leggings or tights and a neutral pair of over-the-knee heeled boots. If you’re lucky enough to still be enjoying plus temperatures right now, be bold and go legging-less. A pair of patent nude flats would look killer with any of these designs! How would you accessorize these dresses?
