fall uniform

Coat: Aritzia, Hat: H&M, Shirt: Zara, Jeans: Paige, Sneakers: Woman by Common Projects

A single-breasted coat, jeans and a button-up shirt is my ultimate fall uniform. I have been looking for a new black coat for a while now and finally decided to get the Babaton Stedman Coat in Heather Black from Aritzia this long weekend. It’s a perfect addition to add to my fall staple pieces. I’ll be travelling to Paris and Scotland next month and can’t wait for all the shopping in Europe so I’m trying to hold back on buying anything else until then. Any tips and recommendations for Paris are extremely welcome!

Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadians!

gucci baby

Jacket: H&M, Shirt: Forever 21, Jeans: Acne Studios, Skinny Scarf: Express, Shoes: Gucci

This has to be one of my favourite outfits yet; it’s a perfect mix of classics and trends. Embroidery is another huge trend this season and as soon as I saw these Gucci loafers I knew I wouldn’t be able to resist. Some girls buy jewelery or purses.. but my undying love for shoes will be the death of me (and my wallet).

florals? for fall? groundbreaking

Floral Bomber: Zara, Lace-Up Top: Urban Outfitters (similar), Belt: Topshop, Jeans: Levi’s, Sneakers: Vans

This Gucci-inspired floral bomber is one of my favourite pick-ups for this season from Zara. Gucci maximalism is all the rage in the fashion world right now and I have been making a conscious effort to incorporate more maximalism pieces into my minimalist wardrobe.

Now that I can’t wear jeans to work I relish the days when I can lounge around in my Levi’s and sneakers. These “Wedgie” jeans are so flattering and comfy; the perfect pair of denim to throw on for a day off running errands. Every time I buy a new pair of shoes I say “last one” but I obviously don’t mean it since I bought these moccasin style sneakers from Vans on impulse; a little outside my box but love them none the less.

#nowtrending velvet

Slip Dress: Zara, Over the Knee Boots: Ivanka Trump, T-Shirt: Topshop, Choker: Aldo

From shoes to tops and everything in between; it’s hard to miss velvet this season. Every shop and online retailer has velvet in their “new in” sections, I can almost guarantee it. From runway to streetwear this is going to be the biggest fall trend of 2016 and I’m loving it. I’ll be wearing velvet everything this season and I instantly fell in love with this slip dress from Zara.

Another huge trend is the 90’s and the Spice Girl loving 90’s kid inside me is freaking out over getting to relive my childhood in chokers and t-shirts under dresses. Paired with sme OTKs, this is a perfect “girls night” look. I’m actually trying to sell these boots to make room for some Stuart Weitzman “Thighlands” in my closet so if anyone is interested please shoot me a message (they’re a size 6).

beatle mania

Jacket: Zara, Top: Zara, Shorts: Levi’s, Boots: Acne Studios, Backpack: Zara

There’s nothing that reminds me more of the Beatles than round sunglasses and this 60’s/70’s comeback in fashion is making me very nostalgic. They were my favourite band growing up and will probably continue to be my whole life.

I fell in love with the Veda suede jacket that Emily Ratajkowski is always photographed in. Though they sell it at my work I’m not about to shell out fifteen hundred dollars on a trend piece. After months of searching for a good dupe I finally found this faux suede biker jacket from Zara. I was kind of unsure of the colour having ordered it online rather than trying it on first (aka how I do all my shopping) but after trying it on with some pieces at home; I love it. It’s going to be my staple piece all throughout the fall.

chantz x kenzo

Jacket: Chantz Clothing, Top: Chantz Clothing, Trousers: Oak and Fort, Shoes: BP

Did a quick little photo sesh before work with our new puppy Kenzo! Yohji, our other shiba inu, has finally accepted him and they’re becoming the best of friends (aka my dream come true). He is the most chill and cuddly puppy. Even though he’s teething right now.

This was the comfiest outfit to wear to work, thank god block heels are making a comeback. I finally gave in and bought a pair of culottes.. I was against this silhouette for so long but now that I have to dress up a bit more for work I’m constantly looking for work clothes and these are so comfy. Everytime I wear this Chantz Clothing trench to work I always get compliments on it. It’s so well-made and the fabric is so soft.

what to wear in vegas

[one_half][/one_half][one_half_last][/one_half_last]

White Mesh Bodysuit: Boohoo, White Skirt: American Apparel, Tan Suede Set: Glamazon the Label, Black Dress: Boohoo, White Off-The-Shoulder Dress: WantMyLook, Black One-Piece Swimsuit: PINK

The first thing I think about when planning a trip to Vegas is what do I wear? Vegas is a place where you can get away with almost anything and wear things you wouldn’t dream of wearing at home. You may have noticed that my friends and I like to coordinate outfits.. no, it’s not just coincidence, we plan this ahead of time and it seriously makes shopping and getting ready together so much more fun! Here are some tips for what to wear in Vegas:

1. Shop online, not in stores. This may be hard for people who don’t know their sizing but that’s nothing some measuring tape can’t fix. I hate wearing the same outfit as someone else so I’ll shop online to find the most unique pieces.

2. Buy things you won’t wear at home. I wouldn’t be caught dead wearing these outfits in Vancouver, they’re way too over the top and revealing for home but in Vegas you fit right in.

3. Don’t spend a ton of money. You’ll wear these outfits once, maybe twice, so why spend a fortune.

4. Wear coordinating outfits. It would look lame and cheesy at home, but in Vegas that’s what gets you and your girls noticed.

5. Try new trends. Vegas is a place where everyone is there just to have a good time, no one is judging you for stepping a little outside your comfort zone. I like to experiment with new trends like suede dresses or mesh skirts because I know I can’t get away with that in Vancouver.

Recently I was asked if I’ll be selling any of my Vegas dresses from last year and this year; as of right now probably not, but I will be participating in a “Shop My Feed” event later this summer with more details to come.

#nowtrending off the shoulder

Off the Shoulder Top: Zara, Jeans: Acne Studios, Shoes: Topshop, Necklace: Aldo

After seeing this off the shoulder trend all over fashion week, I found my perfect trend piece for this season at Zara. I take a little bit of convincing when it comes to new trends and sometimes I can be a little late to hop on the bandwagon but with this top it didn’t take much. Also couldn’t believe the deal I got on these Acne Studios jeans at Jonathan + Olivia; definitely a new staple in my wardrobe.

On our fourth day in Toronto we explored the city and walked from Liberty Village to Yorkville. Walking through U of T was beautiful, I love how historic everything in Toronto is. Vancouver is essentially a new city and we don’t get to see that extent of history. I definitely wouldn’t have dreaded going to school every week if it was at a campus like this. It would have partially fulfilled my life long dream of going to Hogwarts!

taking a chantz in toronto

Cairu Playsuit: Chantz Clothing (coming soon), Backpack: Baggu, Sunglasses: H&M, Shoes: Miu Miu, Choker Necklace: Etsy

Over the weekend I went to Toronto for the first time with my family and boyfriend for my cousin’s wedding and in five days I fell in love with the city. Every corner you turn there’s something new and exciting to see. We spent our first day walking around downtown and spending time with family. Within five minutes of being in Eaton Centre I bought yet another pair of Stan Smith sneakers (sorry not sorry). I think it’s ridiculous that it’s so expensive to travel within Canada but if you have the opportunity I would highly recommend taking the chantz to head to the east coast (and if you live there already, I am extremely jealous).

I have been dying to wear this new playsuit from Chantz Clothing and it could not be more perfect. So light and comfortable; I’ll be living in it this summer. I’m also obsessed with the leather backpack from Baggu that my best friends’ bought me for graduation. I’m not an emotional person but I almost cried when they surprised me with it the night before I left.

Use “WTF10” for 10% any purchase from Chantz Clothing!

slackin’ in vans

Jacket: H&M (similar), Pants: Trouve, Shoes: Vans Sk8 Hi Slims, Top: Topshop

A long overdue blog post, I’ve been seriously slackin’.. Get it? For good reason though as I’ve been pretty busy with exams, getting ready for family visiting from the UK and being promoted at work! I’m so excited about my new role with such a big retailer. I never thought I would be the type to have an adult job right out of university but here I am. So grateful to work for a company with so much potential for growth.

These Vans Sk8 Hi Slims are my favourite sneakers to wear right now, I haven’t owned a pair of Vans since I was 13 but I’m glad they’re making a comeback. Something about wearing slacks and Vans together looks so effortlessly cool. Now that summer’s here and I only have one job I’m hoping to be able to post WAY more now that I actually have days off.

#nowtrending longline cardigan

Longline Cardigan: H&M, Jeans: ASOS, Shoes: Miu Miu, Tote: Nordstrom, Sunglasses: Aldo

Took a stroll in Chinatown during the long weekend in my favourite new purchase; this longline cardigan from H&M. I’m definitely guilty of impulse shopping when I’m on my own and that’s what happened when I went to H&M after work last week. Usually I’m very careful about my purchasing decisions and I won’t buy anything unless it’s investment piece or a pair of shoes I’ve had on my wishlist forever (like these new Miu Mius!) but when you find a item like this longline cardigan for $30 there’s really no thinking involved.

Vancouver is finally brightening up from our usual gloomy weather and summer is just around the corner. With less than two weeks left of school I’m sure we’ve all pretty much checked out by now. Next week I will have my last day at a job I’ve had for the past two years and it will be my last week of school.. ever. Change is really frightening to me and it’s going to be so weird but on to bigger and better things, right? Speaking of change, who else is super annoyed with the impending Instagram update? Who wants even more notifications on their phones, if I didn’t want to see someone’s posts I just wouldn’t follow them. Hopefully they decide to go back to the chronological algorithm.

back at it again

Bodysuit: Topshop (same top, new style), Pants: Forever 21, Shoes: Kendall + Kylie, Scarf: Express, Jacket: Aritzia

After a bit of a hiatus, I’m back at it again with the all-black outfits. I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, I’m too busy to function. If it’s not school, it’s work and if it’s not one job it’s the other. My schedule will finally start to clear up in April and I can not wait.. to sleep. Seriously, I’ve been tired so long I don’t know what it feels like to be well rested. That being said, I was so excited to finally get a chance to shoot a blog post over the weekend. The weather in Vancouver has been horrendous, my photographer/instagram husband has been training for a fight (that he won!) and finalizing my portfolio has taken up all my spare time.

Last week in Vancouver was Fashion Week, and don’t get me wrong it’s no NYFW but it’s fun to have an opportunity to dress up and try something new. I was invited to attend as a street style rep and I asked for a plus one to turn it into a bit of a date night. We didn’t end up staying long because of the lack of seats so instead we went for dinner and drinks in Yaletown. I’ve never owned or worn wide leg pants in my life but let me just say how comfortable and flattering they are! If you can find a pair that fit you just right, I highly recommend getting a pair to switch things up from the norm of an LBD.
