Something Old, Something New

Top: H&M / Skirt: American Apparel / Sandals: The Bay (old) / Bag: F21

This is one of those outfits where one freshly bought item helped me revive a few older pieces from my summer wardrobe. And I bet you probably wouldn't even be able to guess which is the new item but I will tell you anyway. The top is a recent purchase from H&M and the skirt and sandals are waaaaaaay old dating back about 7-8 years. So yeah, loving this combination today and in keeping with our wedding theme lately, here is something old & something new!

Flower Princess

Maybe I'm a little late to hop on the bandwagon but the flower crown has quickly become my new favourite accessory! I've purchased this one at Aldo Accessories and have also been experimenting with my own creations (coming soon!). Jackie and I recently attended a "tropical" themed party so it was the perfect occasion to debut my flowers, what do you think?

A Little Spring in your Step

Skirt and Tee: Joe Fresh / Jacket and bag: Thrifted / Shoes: Converse / Hat: Target

With this sudden burst of warm spring weather, I'm starting to feel inspired by fashion again. I, along with many of you I'm sure, was experiencing a bit of a winter slump. But finally, I can say I feel revived. No more black clothes, I'm all about white, white shoes, white jean jacket, bring it on!

Ditching the Coat



Jeans: Zara / T-shirt: H&M / Kimono: Forever 21 / Sweater: Joe Fresh / Booties: Target
Necklace: Smart Set

This week, we had a few days of what we could call almost-Springlike weather so I decided to ditch the coat. It doesn't mean I've officially packed up my winter gear but at least for a brief moment, I could enjoy a Spring day. Instead I went with a layered look consisting of a kimono and a long cozy sweater. I must admit, I was feeling so naked without wearing a hat so I whipped on a new lipstick (recommended by none other than our resident lipstick queen, Jackie), it's called Bordeaux by Rimmel and I love it. I'm calling it now "Burgundy is the new Red." You heard it here first! Have a good weekend, Frockers!

French Connection SS15

Last week, Bouquet of Frocks was invited for a preview of the French Connection Spring Summer 2015 collection. I think it' safe to say we were utterly dazzled by the collection. There were so many amazing stand-alone pieces, it was difficult to pick our favourites.   

The common themes we saw among the collection were dresses with a lot of movement, bright colors and some great mixed animal prints. We also loved the trend of white-on-white and mixed fabrics. So many great white pieces with lace detailing, transparent fabrics and even some organza...it was a feast for the eyes!

We know how much Jackie loves a good mid-calf skirt and this piece was right on point.
This maxi dress was Jackie's final pick for favourite piece. I mean look at it... The dress contains two layers, the slip underneath which hugs the body with a less fitted lace floral layer on top creating movement. 
These pieces were part of the 70s hippie section. Gotta love that fringe and that beadwork.
Not surprisingly, this white dress stole my heart. That little flair effect at the bottom makes it really special.

Special thanks to the lovely Charmain Emerson at French Connection for organizing this special preview for us.

GUESS Spring 2015 Preview

I recently popped into the GUESS Spring 2015 shindig to see what we have to look forward to after the deep freeze coming up and it just made me pine for Spring all the more. Pastels, neon, bright pink and yellows, maxi dresses, distressed denim, polka dots and of course, florals are waiting for us at the end of the tunnel...

Here are a few pics of some of the upcoming trends to keep you warm through the winter!

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!
