ALL THE RAGE: CUT-OUT BOOTS.

Urban Outfitters. Balenciaga. Topshop. Alexander Wang. Topshop. Alexander Wang. 

What is it with me and getting on board with cool new fashion trends?

When something is seriously trending I usually don't care much for it, but then two months later when it's already old news, I suddenly find myself loving the item... 

Trend-talk aside, I am o-b-s-e-s-s-e-d (say in P'Trique voice) with cut-out boots of all shapes and sizes! They fit so seamlessly into spring time, considering they are practically the lovechild of sandals and boots, which I'll have you know, are two of my favorite types of shoes.

You can rock these boots with anything from denim cut-offs if you're lucky enough to live in a mild climate, and they also look amazing with a pair of skinny jeans. 

What do you think of them?

WELL HERE COMES THE SUN.

The days are getting longer now, which is definitely making me more optimistic.

Tomorrow I'm going to try and make a big step towards my goals, which is a huge risk, but  I've learned that you should never start from the bottom. 

Don't be afraid of rejection and seek an easy way out. Start at the top, and if you get kindly rejected, work your way down. It's easy to become discouraged and feel small, but the key to success, and I promise you this, is just visualizing yourself living your dreams, and just working towards them every day. Can you imagine a person that works hard everyday to make their dreams come true, and doesn't ever achieve them? I can't.

Be fearless :)

BURNING BRIDGES.

You know when you see something in a store, and you can't stop staring at it? It's weird, and you have no idea how it would look like once it's on you. Evidently, you must try this questionable item on. 

Well, that's exactly what happened with this peplum dress from the new ZARA collection. 

I paired it with opaque tights, because let's face it, one experience of being half-naked in the snow is more than enough for me. 

Go-with-everything boots - check! Go-with-everything coat - check! 

This has been a really fun week of meetings, events, and showrooms, which is definitely my favorite way to fill up my agenda! I also faced my fear and "burned a bridge" this week, and am more than excited to talk about it in more details in the near future. 

See you soon!

BIGGIE SAYS SO.

This shirt; let's talk about it for a second. It's the epitome of cool. 

 Paired with embellished jeans, classic heels and mirrored ray-bans, you have yourself a perfect spring outfit. But wait, it's not spring. In fact it seems like winter just started considering the monstrous snow fall the east coast had last week. 

 Melting snow is a boot destroyer. It is not my friend, I'll tell you that. 

Today I'm off to the #Iloveessence event to check out the new essence collection, and you best believe I'll be taking you all along. 

See you soon.

"NEW YEAR, NEW ME!" - THE BOYFRIEND JEAN

Asos / J Brand (pictured below) / Zara / River Island / One Teaspoon (which I have been lusting after)

Boyfriend jeans have come a long way. 

I remember when they used to literally look like men's jeans. Too wide of a leg, too uniform, too.. awkward. I've noticed more and more that I've recently become incredibly attracted to boyfriend jeans! They look almost like skinny jeans, except they possess a harem pant charm and a pinch of laid back cool. 

The key to a perfect boyfriend jean?

- Perfectly fitted at the hips (buy your size, don't size up or down!)
- Rips and distressing to taste. I like a moderate amount of distressing. Boyfriend jeans without rips look off to me.

- The ideal shade of light blue. I find that boyfriend jeans work exponentially better when they are of a light-wash denim.
- A rolled up ankle, especially when pairing with heels.
- Confidence! 

Toronto was pretty dramatically snowed in this morning, which honestly doesn't bother me too much. I don't have to drive to work, which means jasmine green tea can be my best friend right now. It's quite picturesque looking to my terrace and seeing ... white, and only white.

 See you soon!

HOMESCHOOLED JUNGLE FREAK.

If you've ever wondered about my schooling experience and how homeschooling changed my life, I'm here today to share it all...

DECIPHER REFLECTIONS

These past few days have been quite gloomy and unreadable- which to me means wearing my favorite and most comfortable sweaters (and glorious veggie sandwiches at urban herbivore) are a must! Aztec or printed cardigans are such a fun and summer-esque way to spice you the usual solid cardigans, and surprisingly  I don't ever get tired of them because they are quite universal!  It's February, which means only good things are to come from now on! Fashion week/month is coming up, and so many more fun events!

See you soon!
