Currently Wearing – A Touch Of Tweed

Published by

Jacket & Shoes – J.Crew; Necklace – Banana Republic; Shirt – Suzy Shier; Khakis – GAP; Watch – Swatch (vintage); Earrings – Honey I feel like I need more structured pieces in my wardrobe. The older (yes I’m bring up the subject of age) I get, the more my tastes change. That’s expected right? Flow-y fabrics are fun, but not necessarily for an office environment. Although it does depend on how these types of fabrics are worn and what they are paired with. This particular outfit was worn on a Friday when things get a little more casual. Regardless, I still like to keep my outfits looking professional and that’s where my J.Crew tweed jacket comes in handy! I don’t particularly like wearing jeans, I prefer Khakis or Chinos (which are basically the same thing). The only thing I worry about with pieces like this jacket is – how do I clean it properly without spending money sending it to the dry cleaners? Or maybe I should just avoid trying to clean it myself altogether? …

Currently Wearing AND Carrying – Sunny rays on dreary days!

I wish Mother Nature would make up her mind. As I write this post, it’s currently sunny outside. However, yesterday that wasn’t the case. The Don Valley Parkway flooded, there were tornadoes wreaking havoc south of us in the States and it was just not an overly pleasant day weather-wise. But regardless of what the weather is like, my trench coat for this spring/summer season is almost like a big…slap in the face! Just because it’s dark outside doesn’t mean that my clothing choices should follow suit! Luckily I was wearing and carrying clothing and a bag that got me through the day! I love my Nella Bella Brand Rumex bag ! It hasn’t left my side since my friends at Nella Bella Brand sent it to me! Give a girl who loves bags easy access to them and you get a dangerously-fashionable combination! See what I wore on one of the rainiest days of the season: Trench-Coat – Banana Republic; Cardigan – LOFT; Tank-top – H&M; Pants – GAP; Shoes – Buffalo; Bag c/o …

Currently Carrying – Longchamp Planètes

Published by

When I bought my Longchamp tote my first thought was that fashion and function have met and started a love affair that they can’t get enough of. This little tote is perfect for most any occasion and does the job with style and grace. My bag happens to be from the Planètes line and not Le Pliage, which is the line you see most people wearing. For one thing my tote is a thicker canvas material, using the same colour for both the leather and canvas materials. It also doesn’t have the same fold-down feature that Le Pliage totes are known for which really makes no difference to me! However it’s only been two weeks and I’ve already managed to get the bag slightly dirty. Luckily Longchamp provides cleaning instructions for all their products on their website. Click here for their cleaning instructions. A little stain won’t stop me from sporting this bright and sturdy bag though! Longchamp Planètes in Terracotta I will most likely add a few more of these bags to my collection, …
