It’s fun to dress up very basic pieces with something as simple as a sock bun. My hair is all like, “you better take me seriously, I have a huge bun on the top of my head!” Very assertive and adult if you ask me! I must also mention that this is sadly the last post that will feature those beautiful beaded DSW sandals. My favourite pair of summer sandals lived a good life, but were unfortunately worn until they were in pieces. Pieces that I tried to salvage back together, but no such luck. They just couldn’t be saved. The bright side? I get to go shoe shopping!
Grab your high heels and your favourite shade of lipstick, it’s party time! Deemed the ‘Arm Party’ by the oh-so-lovable Man Repeller, I can’t get enough of this look. Which, is why I went crazy for the Olivia Solie fall line of stack-worthy bracelets and cuffs. “It’s all about mixing different textures,” explains Kristen Patterson, the designer behind Olivia Solie. “There’s so many different looks you can go for too, ” Kristen adds, “Anything from softer boho looks to fun neon 90’s, and SoCal rocker spikes.” I had to agree that the versatility of the bracelets is great, since your arm party could be as small as one piece and it still makes a big statement.
So, we want to help you step your bracelet stacking game up! You can enter to WIN your very own Olivia Solie Arm Party! We’re talking up to 6 Olivia Solie bracelets to mix and match – an approximate $215 value.

I’m so nostalgic for today. Oh, that first day back to school; fresh books and pencils, a new outfit, classrooms to be found, friends to be made. A mix of excitement and anxiety, swirling around in your stomach like a cocktail of nerves. It meant new beginnings and held so much possibility that it resonates so strongly still to this very moment. Today is my new years.
It might have been completely grey this morning, raindrops falling down squashing any last signs of summer, but I leapt out of bed with anticipation. New routines must be formed, to-do lists made, goals to be met, and work to be done. It’s a new season and a fresh start.
Brace yourself! It’s
time, ladies and gentlemen, for 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target (let’s all just take
a moment to rejoice that Target is here in Canada). The exclusive fall collection includes men
and women’s apparel, as well as shoes, bags, and travel accessories. You know what? Better clear your credit card now, because
you’ll want to buy every single style!
There’s definitely an element of sophistication to the
entire line. This is no fast fashion,
these well thought out pieces are full of thoughtful detailing and
finishes. There is no denying the beauty
and functionality of the collection; ideal for those of us who want our
everyday style to look effortlessly chic.
I don’t know about you, but I always want to get the most
out of my wardrobe. To show just how
versatile these pieces are, I’ve styled some of my favourite 3.1 Phillip Lim
for Target pieces from day to night.
Phillip Lim for Target will be available September 15 at
Target stores.
Phillip Lim has created a collection of clothes and
accessories for Target. A collection, modern in design and aesthetic, made for

Remember that iconic bright blue Issa London wrap dress that Kate Middleton sported for the royal engagement announcement? Well lucky for us, Issa London recently teamed up with Banana Republic to create a limited edition pre-fall collection! There’s much to love about this dress. The fabric is the kind that you could crumple in a ball, throw in a suitcase, and it would still emerge looking unwrinkled and fabulous. AND it’s probably one of the top 5 most flattering things I’ve ever put on. I mean, it’s pretty obvious that they had me in mind when they made this. Seriously, like a glove people! Though, I have a sneaking suspicion that it’s the case for almost any size. It’s a definite contender for the sisterhood of the travelling dress.
Speaking of which, I hate to cut things short but I’m off to the cabin. Could not be more excited for a little lay by the lake with Vogue kinda getaway. Safe and happy long weekending, you crazy kids!
I know I’ve been taking my time with these vacation posts, but it’s so lovely to relive our travels months later. Paris was such a dream come true, so glad we got to visit. Up next is the South of France!
Let’s take this Throwback Thursday all the way back to OSHEAGA! Being the RACHEL Rachel Roy fashion correspondent was such a unique experience. Dressed to impressed each day, meeting new people, scouting streetstyle, and handing out sweet coupons, all while enjoying amazing concerts at this country’s coolest festival?! Best. Time. Evarrrr! Was a delight meeting fellow RRR gals Erin from The Kit and Anik from Montreal In Style. And the adventure wouldn’t have been complete with meeting up with Surinda and my pal Erin of Haus of Hybrid. But let’s face it, I owe it all to those lovelies at NKPR. Their campaigns are the creme de la creme of PR and I’m just grateful to be able to work with such an amazing team.
Also, a big huge thank you to everyone who entered the RACHEL Rachel Roy x Hudson’s Bay Giveaway. The winners were Lien and Andrea of The Soulcialite – can’t wait to see what they choose! As for the rest of you, I’ve got some more killer giveaways coming up so stay tuned.
While on one of my re-organizing fits, I found this forgotten old pair of sandals tucked behind some dust bunnies and other shoes. Just in time for the END of summer, but I’m still so happy that they’re back. Discovering a once loved item from your closet is almost better than buying something brand new. Almost.
I’m into any sort of excuse to get dressed up, especially when it’s for a fun day at the races! I’ve always wanted to attend The Deighton Cup and was so happy to be in town for the big event this year. Dug up my favourite fascinator, and old bridesmaids dress, borrowed some gloves, and made my way to Hastings Racecourse. Hung out all day with the beautiful Jen, Alison, Leonie, Bria, Randa, Jill, and Michelle. A big thanks to Lyndi for the invite, already planning my outfit for next year!
