An outfit isn’t “an outfit” until all the pieces are put together. It’s the accessories that finish off the entire look.
Above you can see me mixing silver and gold, black and white and a hit of red. It’s always nice to have a pop of colour when you’re wearing back and white!
This “finishing off the look” can be the most challenging for most, but I assure you if you read my post; The Accessory Basics Every Woman Should Own, you will have a great head start.

I recommend that all ladies try own most of these items. They wont ever go out of style if you keep them simple, so spend a little extra on quality. If you’re purchasing trendy items I recommend not spending too much, because you never know how long you’re actually going to wear them.
Men can often be tricky to buy for. Does your guy like a practical gift? Does your Dad want something personal? Here are a few ideas I’ve found to help you get started on your Christmas shopping.
I like to get something cool for the guy in my life; then add a personal touch, like something hand-made or something extra personalized. Etsy is a great place to find some unique gifts online, and if you’re living in Vancouver like me, check out your local shops on Main Street or in Gastown and support your Canadian stores!
A few weeks back I was my bracelet and jewellery creations were featured on Modern Mix Vancouver’s blog, and I realized I never shared that post with you! It was a fun little dinner/bracelet selling party I had with one of the writers! Check out some of the details here.
Oh man, I cannot WAIT for this movie to come out!! It’s directed by the brilliant Baz Luhrmann, who also directed two of my favorite movies, Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge, and this film looks like its going to be of similar styling! I can watch this trailer over and over again. I love Dicaprio as Gasby, and Toby Maguire is the perfect Nick Carraway.
A few months back I decided I wanted to read the book, The Great Gatsby and I was surprised how great of a read it was. I was getting into reading classics and after reading MOST of Anna Karenina I switched to Gatsby…much easier! Than I rented the Robert Redford film from 1974- and boy do I get now why all the ladies-of-a-certain-age love their Robert Redford. Handsome devil he was!
Back to this version…have you looked at the fashion? I wish I could pull off the flapper dress, but the ’20′s simply were not made for curvy girls in fashion! (The 50′s and 60′s are more suited to our types!) But all the head bands, and hats look amazing! I’ve been obsessed with head-gear lately and I wonder if this movie will bring a surge in head wraps and head bands again. Side note, doesn’t Carey Mulligan make a beautiful Daisy?
Are you as excited to see this LONG AWAITED film as I am? With this cast I’m sure Baz Luhrmann will redeem himself after his last major film, Australia. Yikes. I still love him, because that wasn’t his fault! Nicole Kidman went overboard on the botox and couldn’t express anything on her face, which is really too bad- seeing as she was/is so beautiful and a great actress. There is my tangent…so here are some pretty killer head wraps I found online at Urban Outfitters. Would you wear one?
Neutrals seems to be the theme of this post, but these female celebs are popping their looks with killer shoes, bold sunglasses, and great handbags. Which of this week’s celebrity styles are your favorite?

Maybe I’m jumping the gun here, thinking about summer and all…but what can I say? I just want it to arrive already! Every summer I like to update and get one new trendy pair of sunglasses. Just a little tradition I have. Here are some of my favorites this year:
I’ve been browsing a bunch of different blogs recently, hunting down the latest trends to share with you for spring and summer. Are you excited as I am that spring is finally here?!
