What Next

Prada ...photo from style.com

Somehow every time I obsess about something...search for it...attain and adore it... I suddenly see it EVERYWHERE... therefore ruining my excitement about owning one. This happened with my owl necklace... my backless shirt... my sequined miniskirt. So I figured, maybe I have fashion physic abilities? No, not really... if I did I'd be a designer and making millions. So what am I obsessing about right now? Fisherman sweaters. Yup... somehow I feel the old ugly sweater your grandma knitted you is going to make a reappearance....

The Pinterest photo that started my obsession and hunt.

Turquoise ring can be bought here and the sweater here

Here's one I found on ebay

See my last post with a chunky sweater to see how long I've been searching here!

Some Days You Just Don't Wanna...

If you've read my blog you've all heard my motto "Life's Too Short Not To Sparkle Every Day". But sometimes we need footnotes...so consider this my footnote to my motto. Some day's you just don't want to sparkle...sometimes you want to sink into the woodwork and become invisible. Those are the moments you dig to the back of your closet for your favourite old black sweater.

Yummy Grey Chunky sweater by ileaiye on Etsy $140

Loved and worn and so darn comfortable, when you put it on it feels like a hug from a long lost friend. Well let me tell you something...when you are comfortable...you sparkle! So even in those moments...with your coffee in hand and your old faithful sweater on, you are beautiful! Don't let anyone hide your light!

p.s. I do realize it's plus 30 outside today and I'm talking about sweaters...but I LOVE fall fashion... and I can hardly wait!!

Generations of Color!

In a new series...I've decided to answer questions that are sent to me as I'm sure many of you have the same questions! So today's question comes from my stylish friend Romina... "Can I wear colored jeans, or am I too old?" I get this type of question all the time..."Can I wear long hair at my age?, "At what age do I have to start wearing only long skirts?" And my answer is always "I hate numbers!" I refuse to define people by the number inside their shirt or the numbers on their birth certificate! If you can rock it, then ROCK IT!
Trends transcend numbers, but there are rules in different age categories to making it work for you.

Colored Jeans in your Early's - Be Bold!

Your 20's is your chance to try anything once (in fashion that is!)... If you like it try it! Be bold!

Colored Jeans in your Mids's - Let Loose!

To wear the colored denim look in your 30's and 40's look for a straight fit rather than a "jegging" or super skinny fit. Let loose and have fun! Pair with a blazer for a more refined polished look. And adding a wedge or a flat is a perfect pairing!

Colored Denim in your Later's - Color it Classy!

In your 50's and beyond, you've earned the right to be respected and that is the way to pull together your "look". Those trends can still find their way to your closet, just color it classy!

And remember... Life's too short not to sparkle every day!!!

My Fourth Commercial with Kingsway Mall

My fourth commercial with Kingsway Mall!

I have to say this year on the Style Council has been a dream come true and I've had so many "pinch me" moments, but my favourite part has been being involved in the preparation and taping of these commercials!
