These Boots Were Made for Walking

fullsizerender-19

So apparently, these boots were made for walking because all the shots I liked from this outfit shoot were ones where I was mid-strut. I usually like to get a little more variety in the shots I share with you guys but we’re just going to have to work with what we’ve got. I clearly can’t get enough of these Aldo booties! They’ve quickly become a favourite of mine since they work with so many looks. The best part is that they are super comfortable, I’ve walked in them for hours before my feet have started to hurt. Definitely would recommend them!   Continue reading

It’s safe to say that I waited too long to post this look since it’s gotten so cold here. But hopefully, some of you live somewhere where you can still get away with a similar outfit. If like me, you are somewhere where it’s clear that fall is in full swing and that winter is on its way you can still pull off a similar look. You can easily make this outfit more cold weather appropriate by adding a few layers. I really like the simplicity and effortlessness of this look. I think it’s great how a few basic pieces can be paired together to create an easy trendy look. Continue reading

Hey guys! Happy labour day weekend! I’m heading to a cottage this weekend to enjoy the last bit of summer. But while I wait on everyone else (I’m usually the last one out the door but not today #winning) I thought I’d quickly share with you these outfit shots. About two weeks ago the lovely people at Krowd Magazine asked to feature me in their street style section and of course I said yes! I met up with one of their awesome photographers Odusi Oladimeg downtown here in Ottawa, Continue reading

Back to School with Simons

_DSC9896-Edit

Who’s ready to go back to school!? Are you raising your hand? No? Me neither. I used to like going back to school when I was in high school, hmmm actually make that elementary school. Back to university just marks the beginning of stress season, all nighters, eating terribly, looking like a zombie with unwashed hair…should I go on? As much as school can be a complete and total pain, I always try to remember how lucky I am to have the opportunity to go to school and how valuable education is. Continue reading

Outfit Round Up: Bluesfest 2016

FullSizeRender-8

Hey guys! In my last post,I shared an outfit with you that I styled for Bluesfest. Like I mentioned last time, it was my first time attending the festival and I had a blast!! My favourite shows were Belly (surprisingly), The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Nelly. I would’ve definitely added Drake to that list had he shown up as the surprise guest at the Future show like the rumours were saying. I’m not even going to go into that because the disappointment was soooo real *ugly cries*.

Hey guys! How are you all? Anyone else suuuper excited that it’s finally actually looking like spring here?! Mother Nature has been playing us lately with last minute snow storms, freezing rain and fake sunshine, but finally the temperatures are climbing. Still, the day I wore this look was one of those days where you look outside and a huge smile spreads on your face because your like OMG sun!! Then, you step outside in a cute (not winter appropriate) outfit and proceed to regret all the choices you made. I was fooled by the sun. It was cold af, but I wasn’t about to let winter win so I carried on in the cold (but really it’s Continue reading

Black Out

FullSizeRender-4

Hey guys!! This look has be hanging out on my laptop for sooo long now (you can tell by the fresh snow I was walking in). I think it’s finally time to share since spring is almost here and you’ll judge my procrastination even more if I wait any longer. I’ve been wearing a lot of all black looks lately because 1. I love wearing black 2. It’s easy to wear and style when I’m rushing to school and 3. It was my way of making sure I could be found in all the snow we were getting buried in. Continue reading

Hey guys! Happy New Year!! We’re 7 days in already. How are you doing? Have you managed to keep your resolutions so far? I don’t usually make resolutions. I definitely think about things that I want to do and achieve in the coming year, but don’t really set them in stone or make a list. This year I’ve surcome to the resolution hype. I’ve made a few beauty and fashion resolutions that I thought I’d share. Let’s see how long I can keep them up. Continue reading

How To Sport Luxe

IMG_2338

In my last post I mentioned that I had gotten together with a few local bloggers a while back to work on a project, so today I’m sharing the details of that with you. The project we worked on was a fall/winter lookbook where we each styled key pieces and trends for fall and winter. I was assigned the sports luxe trend and was only too happy to know that I would get to style my Nikes outside the gym (but to be real I have not yet worn them to the gym). They’re my “fashion sneakers” I got for the sole purpose of styling looks like this one. I’ll let you know when I decide to actually be active and sweat in them, but don’t hold your breath.  Continue reading
