Outfit of the Day: Warm Velvet




Hey guys!

So I decided to style my red velvet top I thrifted recently. I absolutely love velvet, the fabric just gives so much life to any basic outfits because of its luminescent properties. It shines as you walk the streets on a sunny day and that is probably why it is one of my favourite materials. I actually went to the thrift store and picked up at least five velvet related clothing items, which of course I do not need them all. So I ended up choosing two only, a black velvet button-up shirt and a plain red velvet top. I already have two velvet dresses and a velvet skirt at home, so you can understand the addiction is real. You do not need to do much when styling velvet items, the items themselves are bold so I decided to keep accessories minimal and played around with the colour scheme. I love how burgundy, beige and white look together so I decided to style all three colours in one. Since it was a bit chilly in Toronto I decided to pair my chunky oatmeal coloured cardigan for extra warmth and a white skater skirt to stay in that colour scheme. Here is the outfit :)

Outfit of the Day: Casual Leather







































Hey guys!

The weather is absolutely perfect in Toronto, now it truly feels like a real spring. The excitement is real, which means more exploring and the great thing about Toronto is the variety of landscapes to check out. Toronto is not only known as a metropolis but also to be surrounded by rural regions, an island, bordered by Lake Ontario, so the views are endless here. I have done just that yesterday and plan to do it again today. I usually target a different location everyday to get the greatest coverage, you never know what hidden gem you'll uncover. Today I will be heading over to the west end to check out Lake Shore. The trails are endless as it goes all around Toronto. Anyways on to my outfit, I was lacking inspiration at the time and gravitated towards basic pieces and find accessories to amp the look up to make it more personal. You can never go wrong with a leather jacket, black jeans and a striped tee. Here is the outfit :)

Outfit of the Day: Warm Stripes







































Hey guys!

I am beyond excited, Toronto is actually experiencing more warmer climates. I can actually start wearing spring clothes, I don't know about you but I've been collecting spring and summer clothes all winter long. I'm not much of a fan of winter so I barely own anything winter-appropriate, I always gravitate towards skirts, dresses, florals, anything but winter clothes. I just call it a day and pair my heavy winter sweaters, jackets, coats, cardigans over my summer/spring attire.

Anyways on with my outfit I wanted to bust out my floppy hat, the floppy hat is so reminiscent of spring I had to pair it with whatever outfit I had in mind. My outfit I think has a combination of spring and winter elements. I was going to be out all day, so realistically I wanted to be prepared for night time, hence I had to bust out my super long black coat I thrifted. The spring elements of course is the striped crop top and my grey skirt. Hope you like the look :)
