Outfit of the Day: Glammed Up Green

Hey guys!

How are you all doing? Oh my goodness I decided to check some of the locations listed in the Open Doors Toronto event and it was beyond my expectations. I absolutely had no idea Toronto had so many historic buildings rich with past tradition and artifacts. I decided to check out the downtown core as there was several locations to check out and get more coverage of the places in the least amount of time. I checked out the Elgin & Winter Garden theater, old and city hall, Osgoode Hall, and the MaRS Discovery Centre. All locations were interesting in their own way but I highly recommend checking out the Elgin & Winter Garden Theater and Osgoode Hall. The Elgin & Winter Garden Theater was absolutely beautiful, this place has been designed right down to the details, the Winter Garden Theater has a garden on the ceiling (literally) not a real garden but a plastic one but it is so magical with the mini lanterns hanging along the leaves. It is surreal and definitely a sight to be captured on your camera. Osgoode Hall on the other hand, is also a beautiful building that articulates past historical figures, past traditions all over their walls. Each room is special as it has its own purpose and the court rooms are decorated so eloquently.

Anyways on to my outfit, this outfit I actually did not wear for today. This is yesterday's outfit and not something I would feel comfortable wearing for a day of exploring. This is what I wore yesterday on my date and it was quite chilly out. I decided to work around my anorak jacket and make it more glammed out. I wore a plain white dress and accessorized with a silver necklace, some red lipstick and some black booties. Here's the look :)

Outfit of the Day: Mixing Black and White Prints

Hey guys!

I find it rather odd that for this spring season black and white is trending. Also it is a relief from those floral prints we get every spring season for the past couple of years. Admittedly, I got pretty sick of those typical florals and pastel coloured silhouettes that filled every aisle of the department store. I decided for today's outfit is to pattern mix. This time I chose a different route and that was to take two completely different patterns still remaining in the same colour scheme. When it comes to pattern mixing in that sense, you need to be aware of the magnitude or the size of the pattern relative to the other pattern. I decided to pattern mix with my bold chevron skirt, I found the chevron print to be quite large relative to my polka dot crop top. You don't want to pair two ensembles that have the same size in pattern or else it becomes overwhelming; hence the two patterns are competing with one another. That is a tip I utilize when styling various prints together into one look. Anyways here is what I came up with for today's look :) And of course since it is Friday, I hope all of you guys have a lovely weekend. For those of you who live in Toronto or visiting Toronto for the weekend, I recommend checking out Doors Open, it is a great event that is taking place during the weekend. It gives you the opportunity to walk into places that are usually closed to the public, but here's your chance to check it out. The website has some recommended locations to check out, and let me tell you there is several gems in the city; when you go inside there are some things you will discover you will never expect to find. I will let you guys know in the next post what I've come across. As for the time being, I have to get going as I am preparing for a wedding for tonight. But I'll make sure to update you guys with everything as it is a busy weekend for me.

Outfit of the Day: Trenched Pink

Hey guys!

The obsession with those kimono-styled trench coats are real, I was finally able to get one after eyeing those coats for about a year or so. Something about these coats are the fact it is so versatile and makes any outfit look so much better and put together. When in reality it is effortless and all you have to do is just throw it on top of any outfit; it works perfectly with basic clothing pieces or any fitted structured outfit. I did not necessarily style structured items under for this look as I wanted to follow a certain colour scheme. I love how beige, white and pink look together and then I decided to top it off with some gold accessories. Here is the look :)

Outfit of the Day: Casual Lace

Hey guys!

It has already been a couple of weeks my Birthday has past, but due to exams being scheduled right on the day of my Birthday, most of my plans were deferred till now. Today I attended a Birthday picnic and I was very excited to attend. Usually when I go out for Birthday parties it is at the restaurant, but the fact it is a picnic, I am definitely eager to go. It was at Trinity Bellwoods Park and I wanted to wear some light basic pieces yet be casual. It is a lovely park and there is several grassy areas to just sit and chill. There are some cherry blossoms that have all bloomed and it is so pretty to take some pictures. On to the outfit, lace can easily become dressy, but depending on the pieces you style with; it can be casual. Whenever I want to dress an outfit down I would pair an anorak or a jean jacket to make it wearable during the day time. Anyways I am off to go film my spring look book. I hope you all have a lovely weekend. Without further a-do  here is the look :)

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: Mixing Prints

Hey guys!

Oh my god, my Birthday is in two hours! My Birthday plans... are well nothing but study. I actually have my Accounting Exam on my Birthday then my Finance exam followed along on the next day. Don't worry I have some plans set aside which I do plan to Vlog on my YouTube channel.  I really should be studying, but I honestly cannot study all day. Okay I shall stop ranting here. As mentioned Toronto weather fluctuates, so I prepared myself by wearing several layers. It was actually a lot warmer than I anticipated to be. I usually like bringing extra layers since I go to the library in the morning, spend a good while studying and leave late evening; usually the temperature drops by then. I love to style black and white outfits, it is always a great combo especially to mix match. My easy way of mix-matching print is to start off with stripes and mix it with another print that is relatively larger in its print or smaller but not the same. I feel if the prints are relatively the same size they are competing and it gets too busy. Then I topped everything off with a leather jacket to give the outfit a more tougher look. I absolutely love the finishing look and I decided to wear some cute lace espadrilles to balance out the black. I hope all of you guys have a great weekend!  Here is the look :)

Outfit of the Day: Thrifted Denim

Hey guys!

Oh my god my exams are almost here and I still could not get myself to study. Toronto is picking up in terms of the spring weather and I cannot, absolutely cannot study. The weather was perfection and I was beyond excited to take in the sunlight of a true spring day. As usual, I take advantage by exploring downtown and walking around the roof top garden of City Hall. If you have never been, go there! I urge you to spend some time walking around it is more beautiful during the summer when everything starts blooming. I decided to wear my overly-distressed denim jacket as tribute to Spring, and decided to keep everything neutral underneath. I decided to stack on a couple of silver jewelry for some more statement. Hope you enjoy the outfit :)
