It's been a while, Frockers! Between hibernating, work and personal projects, it's been tough to post as often as I used to. Here's a bit of street style featuring basically my winter uniform....the beloved sweater dress. I've been living in this thing pretty much all winter! It's so comfy and easy to layer with accessories, shirts and scarves to completely change the look.

What are some of your winter go-to pieces?

A big thank you to all those who have been following our blog and supporting us. We wish you all a happy 2015!

Falling For Some Autumn Trends

I guess you could call this, my autumn-summary look. I didn't realize it until I started writing this post, but I was really going all out in the autumn trends for this look. The faux fur, the black, the burgundy wide-brimmed fedora, the dark mani, the knee-high boots.... Admittedly a bit much, even for me. But fashion and making a statement has always synonymous. After the initial shock of the dropping temperatures and wilting flowers, it's time to embrace the brighter side of autumn!

Embellish Me

Who doesn't love a piece that can multi-task? Every woman should own a couple of good ol' fashioned embellished tops. They aren't just tops, they aren't just jewelry, they're both! One of my go-tos is this Lightinthebox number, which instantly turns what could be a plain sweater dress into a knock-out number. Pairing an brown sweater dress with black leggings and sleek leather boots could potentially make this look take a somber turn, but the jewels and beading are the perfect feminine rocker touch to really elevate the ensemble from boring to bold. 

And the cherry on top in this happily eclectic marriage is this hardcore pearl necklace gifted to us by the jewelry company lia sophia, soon to be celebrating their 5th anniversary. I have a soft spot for pearls and this young, edgy, stylized version of a typical pearl necklace really speaks to my love of blending looks for a more intriguing outcome. Some daring combos are better left in the closet than on the streets (I'm sorry, but very few people can pull off the electric blue eye shadow, fuchsia lipstick and leopard-print bodysuit) but I really love the romantic edginess this look embodies. Fashion is a fine line...a squiggly line that goes all over the place, but fine nonetheless!

                                                                           

Sugar Shackin' Chic

Hat and Necklace: Vintage / Coat: Target / Leggings: American Apparel / Boots: Wal-Mart / Handbag: Michael Kors / Sunglasses: F21 / Tops: Joe Fresh and Sirens

The sugar shack (aka cabane à sucre) will always have a special place in the heart of Bouquet of Frocks. After all, it's where the blog was born and it's our baby's first birthday in only a few weeks. Time flies!
The sugar shack outing is not a particularly fancy occasion so I tried to fashion a look that was cozy, comfortable and with a touch of chic. There's nothing like a great fur collar on a coat to amp up an outfit...in this case, faux fur. It's also really important to wear some sort of rubber footwear because it can get pretty moist and muddy up there especially with all the snow melting. In fact, that's how this outfit came together, it all started with the boots and then voilà! Hope you enjoy and have a great weekend, Frockers!

The Jean Jacket

Jean Jacket: H&M / Skirt: Target / Hat: F21 / Scarf: Joe Fresh / Boots: Michael Kors

The time is here! I can finally start wearing my favourite spring item, the jean jacket! Even if I have to layer on my furry scarf and my wool hat, I'm going for it, frockers. I've also incorporated a little floral skirt to drive the point home, it's time for spring fashion and we ain't lookin' back!

The Simple Statement Dress

Dress: F21 / Coat: Joe Fresh / Hat: American Apparel / Boots: Michael Kors

Hey Frockers! Here I am looking a lil under the weather but still really loving this simple black and white dress. This is a perfect young and versatile look for wearing to the office or for going out (after work, perhaps), hitting the right tone between cute and sophisticated. I love the simple statement that this dress makes, not too much, not too little. It's also a really easy dress you can just throw on with a pair of opaque tights and some boots and feel completely put together. Easy-breezy!
