CPA CAREER

A couple of weeks ago, Lisa, a teacher at the University of Victoria (and an old friend of mine) reached out to me as she has a couple of students heading down the CPA path and she wanted to introduce them to some individuals in the CPA community. I was thrilled and honoured by this request, not to mention that it got me to travel back in time down memory lane and make me feel young again! I shared a short bio with her and it was met by an overwhelming inflow of questions which were so smart & thoughtful…

WEAR TO THE OFFICE

WEAR TO THE OFFICE

Corporate ≠ boring outfit! Within the semi-conservative to conservative realm, you can always add some personality to your look! Instead of a shapeless black pant, opt for wide leg culottes! They are still length appropriate and you can easily tuck in a blouse, like the lace one I did in this look. The shape of the pant & the lace detail add femininity & personality. Now, I would wear a black or beige pump for the office but then switch it to these red lace-up sandals for a 5@7 – instant outfit! Cheers! Photo credit: Diana Budacki Outfit details: Top:…

FESTIVAL INSPIRED

Festival season is coming… (lol, get it? This one was for Games of Throne fans, sorry)! If you’re heading to Osheaga – this post is for you: lace up blouses, button front skirts, fedoras & comfy studded sandals. But if you’re more of a shorts kind of gal, switch the skirt for embellished denim shorts & voila! Lately I’ve been obsessed with festival inspired looks, especially lace up tops; simply can’t get enough! Hope your summer is going well chix! I’ve been so consumed by wedding planning lately that it’s all I think about lol! Stay tuned for a second blog…

CASUAL CHIC MENSWEAR

Men are so lucky – they get to be comfortable 24/7 when feet are concerned! They don’t need to wear heels that give them blisters and the right sneakers go with everything! Just look at this casual chic outfit! Guys can totally wear this for casual Friday at work, a 5@7, a dinner – anywhere! These Geox Nebula men sneakers suit the outfit perfectly! Unlike other sneakers that might look too sporty, these look classy yet provide the same level of comfort and my Working Gent lovessss them! Truth be told, they have not parted ways ever since he got them, lol! Putting…

COMFORT

Comfy. That is my favourite word :) So, it comes as no surprise that I like comfy shoes & that I fell in love with these Geox slip-ons! They’re sooooooo pretty with the metallic accents! Ever since I got them, I have received tons of compliments! And, I must admit that a lot of people were surprised that they were from Geox. I feel like recently, they really stepped up their shoe game! They have tons of amazing picks from sandals, to sneakers to pumps. I put this outfit together with the comfiest jeans ever that stretch perfectly to fit your…

SS16 + Edit your closet

This SS16, anything goes – so whether you’re into florals, pastels, neon, black & white, denim, nautical – sky’s the limit! Everything in your closet can be pulled out! No more “I have nothing to wear” moments! I’m gonna confess something, I find that the more clothes you have, the more lost you get in your closet and you feel like you have nothing to wear even though your closet is filled out to the brim – so much so it’s about to explode. So, I decided to, as Garance Dore so eloquently puts it: ‘edit’ my closet! Cleaning your closet…

ROMPER ADDICT

ROMPER ADDICT

I admit it, I am a romper addict. But how can I not be?! They’re super comfortable, flattering & make for an instant outfit. A friend of mine said this week that she can’t pull of  a one piece b/c it don’t flatter her body type. So naturally, my response was: WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT (shocked face)!? That couldn’t be farther from the truth! Rompers and jumpsuits can flatter any body type, as long as you choose the right one! This stripe romper is the perfect example! 1st of all, vertical stripes are slimming  as they tend to elongate the…
