Top 5 Faux Fur Coats

Jacket: Shein | Top: Saks Off 5th | Pants: Dynamite | Boots: Marc Fisher (sold out – similar) | Purse: H&M (similar) | Sunglasses: Shades Crush If I’m being honest, I absolutely hate the cold and the Winter! Between the snow and the freezing cold, it’s just not fun lol. Probably the only perk of the cold weather here in Toronto would be wearing really cute jackets! One jacket I always have on repeat every Winter is the faux fur jacket. And if you get it heavy enough, like the one I’m wearing, then it’ll literally take you through the whole Winter! Obviously, the fur faux is more of a fashion jacket and not meant for the bitter cold. But, it’s such a great option for date night or just over jeans and a pair of booties for running around the city! I’ve always been a fan of the faux fur jacket. And I’m pretty sure it’s one of the few things that get me through long Canadian Winters, lol!

Top 5 Overall Dresses for Fall! (all under $100)

Dress: Zara | Top: Forever 21 (similar here and here) | Boots: Marc Fisher | Purse: Aldo | Sunglasses: Shades Crush Anyone else feel like this Fall has so many good trends? I mean between the baker boy caps and bell sleeves I am just loving what this season’s trends have to offer! One trend I really wanted to try was the overall dress or the dungaree dress. Now, this trend has been around since Summer. But Fall just felt like the right time to jump on the bandwagon, if you will! One of my favourite things about the overall dress is how many ways you can style it! It’s so cute with bell sleeves under (my personal fave) or with a t-shirt. It’s such an easy trend to pull off for basically anyone. Plus, it looks so cute with over-the-knee boots or even with fresh white kicks! So many ways to style this little dress and so little time, cause it’s already freezing here in Toronto lol! Because I am loooooving this trend here are my top 5 overall dresses! Let me know which is your fave in the comments below. Top 5 Overall Dresses (all under $100): Zara Revolve (next on my list to buy!) ASOS H&M Shein xo Lauren

All The Frills + Life Update

Cardigan: Shein also in black here (under $30!) | Dress: Zara (old – similar) | Boots: Boohoo All the feels and all the frills in this sweater! If you’re looking for the perfect casual Thanksgiving look to keep you warm and stylish, here it is! I love this burnt orange cardi paired with a off-white dress, like above, or even a pair of jeans and a tee. The tulle definitely dresses this cardigan up and it really does make the perfect holiday cardigan! Okay, so now for a little life update! Some of you may already know that I closed down my previous business. If you didn’t know, I used to own a children’s clothing store which had a physical location and was online as well. I had it for 5 years and it was time for a change, so don’t feel bad or say you’re sorry to hear! So many people keep telling me how sorry they are. But in reality, I am so ready for a change and to move on to new and exciting things. Because of my shop being closed down I am now working from home. What am I working on? Well, my blog for one. But I do have an opportunity that I am SO excited to share with you guys! Some of you may know about it already by reading my interview with Watchit Magazine. But if you don’t know yet. Don’t worry! I’ll be talking about it soon on the blog. And…

Top 5 Mom Jeans

Bodysuit | Jeans | Purse | Boots Happy Wednesday! I have really really recently (like in the past 3 or 4 months) gotten into wearing jeans. Before I started blogging you would literally never catch me in jeans! I guess you could say blogging pushed me outside of my style comfort zone and pushed me to try new styles. And I know that sounds silly for jeans. But, I could never find a pair of jeans I liked before. Now I am almost always in jeans. My go-to styles are the vintage high waist. And, of course, the mom jean. Now I know the mom jean isn’t for everyone, but if you haven’t tried a pair of mom jeans. Do it! They have loose styles and more fitted styles, like above. So that being said I’ve rounded up my favorite mom jeans for Fall/Winter. My preference is more tighter fitting mom jeans so you’ll find more of those below! 🙂 Top 5 Mom Jeans: ASOS Boohoo H&M TopShop ASOS xo Lauren

3 Fall Items You Need in Your Closet Right Now!

Top: H&M | Jeans: Zara | Boots: Aldo (similar) | Belt: H&M | Purse: Aldo Guys, if you’re anything like me, you like to always have go-to staples in your closet for each season. Go-to staples, in my opinion, make pulling outfits together easier! A few staples can help keep you trendy and give you an effortless vibe. And what girl doesn’t want to look effortless each and every day? I know I do! For me, I like to keep my staples affordable and neutral. That way, if it’s a trendy piece it won’t be hard to part with at the end of the season. And if it’s neutral, I’ll have so much more options to pair it with! These staples are key to great styling and will help you feel fab and pulled together for the rest of Fall! 3 Fall Items You Need in Your Closet Right Now: 1. Trendy item – A Corset Top / Faux Layer Blouse Firstly, let me start off saying any trendy piece will make do here. I am just naming what I am wearing above. But, if you’re not a fan of the corset or layered top. Then try bell sleeves like here or a chenille cardigan, like here, instead! Every season, I always try to have a few really trendy pieces to play with. I love having fun with fashion and there is nothing wrong with buying a couple of trendy pieces each season! My tip would be to always save…

Holiday + Winter Ready with Fashion Outlets Niagara Falls, USA

It’s that time of year again to start planning your Holiday shopping and to do’s! I am an avid early Christmas shopper and absolutely love the experience of going out to buy gifts. Getting into the Christmas spirit for me starts with shopping for my loved ones, and I LOVE to go into stores and shop! Since Qais and I headed down to the outlets of Niagara Falls, USA we decided to cross some Christmas shopping and Winter must have’s off our list. I mean, with up to 75% off designer and your favorite brands, you might as well knock most of your Christmas shopping off your list here! Where you need to shop at the Fashion Outlets Niagara Falls, USA Saks Off 5th My absolute favorite store in this outlet has to be Saks Off 5th! We actually do have a Saks Off 5th here in Canada. But we definitely DO NOT have these prices. I literally need to contain myself in this store because I could spend Qais’ whole pay cheque here, lol! If you are looking to do some serious damage, then this is your store. Firstly, let me just start off saying that I got a pair of Rag and Bone jeans here for $99. And these jeans regularly sold for $215! Crazy, I know. I also bought a pair of Dolce Vita platforms here in the Summer for only $16 – and they’re normally over $100 shoes. So if you’re looking for designer items, bags,…
