Change Room Diaries: Two Tone Jumper

 

Top : (inside) denim shirt,  knitted two tone jumper ; Bottom : skinny jeans ; Shoes : gold trim slippers

Knitted stuff!! I went to Topshop today and found a bunch of things I like. I chose this particular outfit because I thought it would be the most wearable. My two favourite items from this outfit are the jumper and the slippers. I've been looking for a black and white jumper like this one for quite awhile. I love the pattern and how warm it is! The shoes are great because of course, there is a little bit of gold in it :). Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Red

Top : Zara knit sweater ; Bottom : H&M jeans ; Shoes : warehouse stilettos ; Accessories : Zara belt, Jacob bracelet

I found this sweater tucked between a pile of other sweaters in the store during their sale. The sweater's a little big on me but I still bought it as it was only $15. Yay! I paired it with the leopard printed belt and a simple bracelet. The red really pops, but it kinda makes me look like Christmas! I could probably wear this in spring with jeans or shorts because the material's very light and very loose fitting. I think this outfit would be great for classy dinner. :p

Keep Yourself Warm

Top : (inside) Wilfred t-shirt, Forever 21 chambray shirt, American Eagle knit sweater ; Bottom : H&M shorts, tights ; Shoes : Aldo leather boots ; Accessories : H&M knit scarf; durumi ring, Everything frinury ring, Michael Kors crossbody bag

Whenever I go shopping I try to bring as little as possible so I can search for things freely. That means smaller bags, no jackets, no drinks, things like that. I layered a chambray shirt and sweater over a t-shirt to keep me warm and also when I got to the change room everything would be easy to take off. It's a little hard to see but I'm wearing shorts over tights to maintain that layered look. This outfit was super comfy and kept me warm for the whole day!

Change Room Diaries: Studded Peplum Skirt

Top: Print top & Maroon blouse ; Bottom: Multi-studded peplum skirt ; Shoes: Platform ankle boot with zip

I don't usually wear skirts but this one really caught my eye.  I LOVE STUDS. Honestly you can stud a rug and I'll wear it...somehow lol. So I paired the skirt with a print top inside a maroon blouse with these sand coloured booties. I love the different textures in this outfit and the colours are great for fall! All these pieces were from Zara. They always surprise me with very unique designs which is why it's one of my favourite stores. I thought this outfit would be perfect for a girls night out. :)

Sometimes just a Tee

 

 

Top : Zara t-shirt ; Bottom : H&M faux leather pants ; Shoes : Nine West leather bootie

 Hey guys! I have to apologize for the lack of posts I made recently.  I've just been swamped with work but I'm back :) and hopefully I can make more posts!  Lately I've been rushing in the mornings to get to class so I just throw on a t-shirt and be done with it.  This is one of my favourite t-shirts at the moment because of the thick cotton material and the jewels on the shoulders.  I just wish there were more jewels!!  Other than that, this a super comfy outfit I like to go to school in.

Leather Pairings and GOLD

Top : Danier leather jacket, (inside) Jacob blouse ; Bottom : RW&Co. leggings ; Shoes : Aldo leather boots ; Accessories : Zara mesh hairband, H&M Anna Dello Russo bracelet, Topshop ring, Banana Republic scarf, Angie & Lola leather clutch

This is one of my favourite fall looks. It has my favourite leather pieces, the warm tan colours, and gold.  This outfit seems a bit dark but it allows the gold to really stand out. The keys also add a bit of texture to the outfit when seen from afar.  This is actually my sister's scarf.  I've been trying to snatch this scarf from my sister since the day she bought it haha.  I just love the keys on it and it's really soft.  Another thing I wanted to talk about was the gold bracelet. H&M introduced their new designer collection from Anna Dello Russo (an editor-at-large and creative consultant for Vogue Japan, yep had to wiki it). A section of the store featured these beautiful gold accessories, purses, and shoes. I couldn't resist as I love GOLD. I chose this bracelet out of the rest because I thought it would be most wearable. After purchasing the bracelet, they gave me a lovely bag with cute illustrations on it with a GOLD FRAME.  I'll definitely be adding this to my shopping bag collection.  If you want to see the rest of the collection, visit the h&m site!

Work Appropriate

Top : H&M printed blouse ; Bottom : H&M jeans ; Shoes : warehouse stilettos ; Accessories : H&M bracelet, Topshop ring, H&M belt, Matt&Nat clutch

I don't usually wear black and white together, but when I do, I feel like I'm going to work especially with those pointed stilettos. I wasn't too sold on the blouse when I first saw it in the store, but it looked great once I tried it on.  The pattern also goes well with most of my clothes.  And of course, that red belt that I love, it really pops out in this outfit! I tried styling my hair differently since I usually just leave it down. Today it kinda looks like a giant brush haha. The weather is definitely getting chillier around here so I'm going to have to find myself a warm jacket! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Shorts One Last Time

 

Top : RW&Co. jacket, H&M shirt ; Bottom : H&M shorts ; Shoes : Nine West peep toe heels ; Accessories : Zara Mesh Hairband, Topshop ring ; Nails : Deborah Lippmann Across The Universe

You're probably thinking how I can still wear shorts in this chilling weather.  Well it got a bit warmer in the afternoon and I thought to myself MUST WEAR SHORTS ONE LAST TIME O_O. I bought these shorts years ago because I loved the material and the buttons.  The wooly material on these shorts are perfect for this kind of weather! If you read the description of the accessories I wore, you'll notice that my necklace is actually a hairband.  The mesh metal allows the hairband to rest pretty much anywhere you want and it really adds to a simple outfit. I bought the Deborah Lippmann nail polish during the summer because it was just so beautiful in the bottle and on the nail swatch.  This is the first time I'm trying it and I layered it over a black nail polish.  It turned out exactly how I wanted it to; not too bright and sparkly and still dark enough to compliment my outfits.  I usually change nail polishes every few days because I get bored of it but I have been wearing this for almost a week a now and I still LOVE IT.

Coffee Break Anyone?

Top : Banana Republic blouse, Wilfred tank ; Bottom : H&M cropped trousers ; Shoes : Nine West peep toe heels ; Accessories : Jacob chain bracelet ; Nails : Pale Nails

Sometimes I like to wear my blouses unbuttoned rather than buttoned up and tucked in. I feel more relaxed and free. The pattern on this shirt really reminds me of coffee beans so I thought I would pair it with warmer colours. If you've seen my previous posts, you'll know that I don't wear much jewelry.  But if you're going out after work feel free to add as much jewelry as you like. Accessorizing can really add character to your outfit! :)

Casual Textures

 

Top : Forever 21 chambray shirt ; Bottom : Aritizia Talula front pocket skirt ; Shoes : H&M ankle boots ; Accessories : Forever 21 curved necklace ; Nails : Pale Nails

I bleached my hair over the weekend and I am soooo happy with how it turned out. The only problem is, my hair is a lot more damaged now and it shows! Today I'm putting different textures together to make an outfit that would compliment as well as draw attention away from my coarse hair. I've paired textures from my chambray shirt, the silkiness of the skirt, and the leather boots. I love this skirt because of the pattern, the shape, and the POCKETS! I can pair this to make it look casual or dress it up for a night out.

Woolly Reptile

Top : H&M open cardigan, Boutique in Hong Kong ; Bottom : Zara printed trousers ; Shoes : Zara leather sandals ; Accessories : Forever 21 curved necklace, Aldo owl ring, Everything frinury ring, American Apparel basic leather belt, Michael Kors bag ; Nails : Jacob cashmere cardi

This is by far one of my most favourite trousers from Zara. I bought these mid-summer and have been wearing them constantly only to realize I've been wearing it with the same white t-shirt.  I thought I should change it up today by adding different pieces to the outfit. If you're having trouble pairing clothes with a busy pattern, I'd suggest picking pieces that have similar colours from the print. The texture from the cardigan really makes the outfit more interesting. A great outfit for shopping or lunch! :))

Lips : Annabelle Twistup Lipstick Crayon Kiss ; Nails : Hot Boss Half-Moon Nails

 Aaaandd it's that belt again! I love the pop of red in this outfit especially in this gloomy weather.  Look at the clouds! It was a little chilly coming back to Toronto in the morning so this outfit really helped with the change in weather.

Hello New York!

Lips : Annabelle Twistup Lipstick Crayon Kiss ; Nails : Hot Boss Half-Moon Nails

It's beautiful day to walk around central park!  I brought these simple pieces on my trip to New York so I can mix and match easily.  The red belt and the cardigan really helped me pull this outfit together.  I love this belt because I can pair it with almost everything.  You will see this belt in my other posts as well.

This outfit is perfect for a day that is not too warm and not too cool.  This is one of my favourite necklaces from Forever 21.  You can wear it with anything to make your outfit look a bit more fancy. I also love to roll up my jeans and sleeves so I won't get too warm if I'm running around.
