PFW haute couture: elie saab

I wouldn't normally post about a fashion week that I didn't attend, in as much detail and sharing pictures, but I am just so in love with the Elie Saab Haute Couture S/S 2015 collection. Elie Saab is by far one of my favourite designers; whether it be his Ready To Wear or Haute Couture collections, I have never come across a collection where I wasn't in love with most or all of the pieces and looks.

If you recall from this post last year, I just love tulle skirts. So check out what I did for My City Gossip this week concerning the timeless trend that is tulle skirts!

weekend highlights

Because retail is not that busy this time of year, I've had quite a few days off from work, which has given me time to do things I don't normally have time for when I work a full week. This past weekend I finally found time to go to the Politics Of Fashion exhibit at the Design Exchange (which was great timing too, since it was in its last week!), as well as the Ripley's Aquarium.

My City Gossip: Bucket Bag

Take a look at my article for My City Gossip from this week, where I talk about one of the hottest trends of 2014!

Sequin Minis

Though I'd obviously seen them around before, as it is a popular trend, when I was on my cruise a few weeks back, I really started noticing a lot of people wearing sequin mini skirts at night (for dinners and shows and such), particularly in an aztec patterns. It's such a simple concept (a skirt), but when you add a little more aesthetic (sequins and pattern), you can take your look that much further.

Quote Of The Week

Post-Holiday Outfit Rut

Before I get into this topic, let me first define what I mean by "outfit rut": Getting stuck in a cycle of wearing the same basic thing over and over (for example, jeans and a t-shirt), with no drive to get creative and put together fun and/or interesting outfits. Now, you may be into the minimalist and normcore style, and that's totally fine (I am too), but I'm talking about getting to the point where you're actually unhappy with the clothes you're wearing, but still cannot seem to put together anything "better". While in this rut, you may also feel that you have no "interesting" pieces, and you've been looking at the same clothes in your closet for months now.

Winter Getaway

Happy 2015 everyone! Apologies on the lack of posts in the new year so far. As you know, I was on a family vacation and then last week, though I was already home, I just needed some time to get back to work, routine, and real life. But, now that I'm (unfortunately) reaccustomed to not laying by the pool all day and forgetting about responsibilities, I have some amazing vacation pictures to show you.
