A Russian Winter

Smart Set top/vintage boots and hat/coat and skirt from China/infinity scarf as muff from Hong Kong

It's official. We are in the heart of winter and my favourite coat is still going strong! Like I've always said, accessories really make the outfit. Just compare a bold and elegant look like this to the understated class of my previous post and you can hardly believe it's the same coat. I paired this vintage hat with a similar faux fur infinity scarf I picked up in Hong Kong last year, but instead of putting it around my neck, I decided to really go all the way and turn it into a muff. I mean, if you're gonna brave the winter like this you gotta go all the way. And just to keep it interesting, I added a few pops of colour and the transformation is complete. I feel like I just stepped out of a Tolstoy novel or something!

Here's to bringing new life to old coats!
                                                          

Stylist for a Day

This week, I got the opportunity to attend the Spring 2015 photo shoot for Canadian fashion retailer, Smart Set. Not only did I get to observe the whole process but I was able to style my own 3 looks. Here is a little recap of my experience.

All the shooting was done by photographer, Geneviève Charbonneau, and she is one talented lady! The photos looked amazing!

The following photos below are the three looks I put together. I tried to put a little piece of myself in each look. The first look I based around this army green jacket, an item I have often said is a staple in any closet. I love to contrast the slightly rugged feel of an army jacket with something more delicate which is why I paired it with this floral top. 

This second look should be no surprise. As soon as I saw that white lacy crochet style top, I knew I had to use it. I went for a classic approach and paired this with a perfect medium blue jean and then adding this black cardi/kimono really adding a boho flair. It's not too visible in the photo but the cardigan has some lovely crochet detailing.

This last look is, of course, a homage to my love for Bruce Springsteen. What else can I really say, nothing rocks harder than a denim vest!

Thank you to Smart Set for this amazing and fun opportunity!
