Blazing Blazers

Blazers are a staple for every women's wardrobe, they can be dressed up for a professional day at the office, or be worn casually for a night out with the girls or boys.

Putting together a blazer outfit is pretty simple, my favorite silhouette to follow for the professional attire is the upside down triangle. You can achieve this by finding a blazer with should pads ( I know most women don't like the idea of shoulder pads, but trust me, it will give you a power stance.) Pair the blazer with a accent top of your liking, for example: a low jewel neck top with gem accents. For the bottoms find a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, these will elongate you while making you look slimmer. If your not one for skinny jeans, find a straight leg pant. ( Cropped skinny jeans will also work. ) Now for our favorite part. The shoes! Match this outfit with your favorite pointed high heel shoe, preferably with a accent that matches your top. This will add interest, pull the outfit together, and of course make your legs look longer.

Wearing a blazer casually is pretty simple as well, pair a novelty blazer such as the ones above in bright colours, or you can try prints if your feel more adventurous, my favorite novelty is the striped blazer. Once you've made your pick, you can wear anything you like, just build your outfit around the blazer. My favorite silhouette for casual look is the A-line. You can achieve this look by pairing your favorite tank ( with accents or not ) with a flared skirt, finished off with the perfect heel, and your ready to hit a night out.

Have fun putting together your outfits, experiment with prints and colours until you feel comfortable and rock it! 

So much love

Okay so these girls have been my family for the last 2 years and I dont know what I would do without them. Love you guys !

Bold Beautiful Brows

I feel like a perfectly shaped brow frames the face so beautifully nothing else compares ! So if you were one of those ladies blessed with full eye brows, embrass it! If not there are a couple of things you can do.

1.) Stop tweezing!!  I know this sounds crazy right..? But honestly just let them grow. You can shape and darkening them with make up while they are growing so it's not so obvious.

2.)  Just use make up! I know first hand what it's like for eye brows to be thin or grow in odd directions. I shape my eye brows everyday using a brow palette and honestly it doesn't take much time at all with practice.

I'm going to link a couple of awesome products you can use to fill in your brows and a couple tutorials. Just practice because it makes perfect like mama always used to say :)

The Collective

Not only do they carry awesome clothing, the environment is very inviting and creative. If your in the area and looking for a place to shop that isn't Value Village, check it out!

Oh Forever

So being a fashion student with very little shopping more, I've been faced with the challenge of having to find affordable clothing and still stay in current trends. My savoir has been Forever21!
Seriously I don't know what I would do without this site. They are consistently up to date, have affordable prices and free shipping if you buy over 60 dollar! ( which really isn't very hard at all ;) ) So I really wanted to do a post about them and show case some of the great clothing for you while putting together a great outfit. Enjoy.

In your face prints

Number one summer piece to add to your wardrobe this summer is bold prints. Taking you back to the 90's with big prints of fruits, flowers, stripes, abstract and aztic all done in bright colours. These statement pieces can be anything, from a casual dress to a pair of work pants. Now I know for some people this is intimidating, but don't be scared! If your not one of those people that love to stand out try pairing a bold print dress shirt with a nice dress pant and bright colour shoes. This gives you a more subtle popped look. If your feeling more adventurous, try an all over print dress of stripes or fruit. Remember to the most important thing is to feel comfortable, so wear what makes you feel beautiful and have fun with it. Click on this link to Glamour Magazine for more print inspiration.
