Ottawa Street Style: Vest Dressed

April 6, 2016

Ok, I have been holding on to this post in my drafts for almost 8 months. I have been desperately waiting to publish it, but I thought it would be cruel to do so in the winter. In anticipation of spring fashion, I am hitting send today! Yes, there is a snowstorm predicted for this afternoon, but I don’t care anymore. Let it be spring!

This was part of a series of photos that I did with Kristy Chapman Photography last summer. Enjoy!

In these pictures, I am wearing:

Striped dress- The fifth purchased inside Fashion Truck Canada at Bluesfest last year
White vest- Forever 21 + (see below for more options)
Pre/owned- strappy Hilary Radley heels purchased at Clothes Encounters consignment shop
Pre-owned/new- Gucci clutch (www.valamode.com luxury consignment)
Prada Glasses (similar styles available at Merivale Optometric Centre)
A-line watch
Gold chain- Plato’s Closet in Barhaven

What to wear: Holiday Family Photos

I wanted to take a moment to wish you all, my dear gorgeous readers, a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I am so in love with these photos we did for Christmas, with Kristy Chapman. You would have already seen my holiday outfit post on “Festive Fashion“, but in these post I am sharing the family pics. But as you can see, the main focus in these pictures is my brand new kitchen, although renovated by my husband almost one year ago.

I know that figuring out the “family outfit” can be somewhat of a challenge. It’s a fine balance between not too matchy matchy, and well coordinated to get a cohesive look. This year’s theme was “Plaid”… and funny hats! Last year we went with “Canadian Tuxedo”. Awe, Victor is so much younger in that pic (sorry, mommy moment).

Here are some great tips on organizing a family photo shoot.

Ottawa Street Style: Pink and Print

Mode Xlusive

September 17, 2015

I’m wearing this dress to work today, and I always feel so vibrant in it! Loads of colour to distract those unflattering nooks and peaks. The side panels really give a nice hourglass illusion, which will work on any body type. I love wearing white and bright colours, but in this case the navy panels really tone down the dress making it wearable and work appropriate. The fabric is also light and stretchy, which makes it curvy girl approved!

This was part of a series of photos that I did with Kristy Chapman Photography. Enjoy!

In these pictures, I am wearing:

New- Pink Martini Dress from Allegro (Wellington West)
New- Nude peep toe heels Nine West from Winners
Pre-owned- Pink Kate Spade Bag (www.valamode.com)
