Low Life | The Weeknd Inspired Outfit

Hey everyone! I was inspired by the Low Life music video by The Weeknd & Future to put this outfit together. The scene where they are outside by the car, you can see that they are both wearing camouflage printed clothing items. I was specifically inspired by The Weeknd's outfit, and I went straight into my closet to pull out my bomber jacket instead of wearing a hoodie like he did. He also wore black jeans but I decided to wear ripped jeans that have a more blue undertone to them.

Outfit Details:

DIY Choker

Black Crop Top ---> Brandy Melville

Camouflage Adidas Bomber Jacket (Style #AB7671)

Black Ripped Jeans ---> Hope's

Black Military Boots ---> Hautelook

This outfit definitely has an androgynous aesthetic to it. The jeans are baggy, combat boots (in general,) can be worn by males or females and the bomber jacket is actually from the men's section. A lot of people shy away from exploring the androgynous side of fashion but I actually love it! I still did make it feminine enough by adding a choker necklace and also, a crop top to show some skin.

I was at the Drake concert this past August where Future sang 'Low Life' on stage live in Toronto at the ACC (Air Canada Centre,) and that was an amazing moment that I'll never forget! He told the crowd to sing The Weeknd's part since he is from Scarborough. This song is still one of my favourites and it never gets old for me.

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY

Canadian Thanksgiving 2016 & How I Styled A Tunic

Hey everyone! I hope that all my Canadians had a great Thanksgiving and ate lots of delicious food! I went to a friend's house on the Sunday and I went to my Aunt's place yesterday, (on the Monday) to celebrate! I wanted to share with you what I wore on both days and how you can wear a tunic as well as how to wear multiple trends at the same time.

Outfit #1 

I opted for a very fall look and wanted to incorporate these gorgeous fall colours into my outfit. They paired beautifully and I was both warm as well as comfortable in my outfit.

Details:

Brown Duster Coat - Sirens Outlet

Above The Knee Dress - Forever 21

Wine Necklace & Matching Earrings - Hope's

Lip Combo: ColourPop Lippie Pencil in Brink, Revlon Lip Butter in Raspberry Pie & Revlon Colourburst Lip Gloss in Bordeaux

Outfit #2

You can see here that I wore: my DIY choker, a velvet tunic and an off the shoulder top which are ALL big trends this fall. Of course I wore it with my: faux fur coat, a comfortable pair of leggings and my go-to trusty combat boots. 

Details:

DIY Choker

White Crop Top - Hollister

Velveteen Tunic - Forever 21

Black Leggings - Forever 21

Black Combat Boots - Hautelook
Lips: Marc Jacobs Beauty - Le Marc Lip Creme Lipstick in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

This is how it looks like from the side. 

The Table

My aunt always decorates the table very beautifully and here is a closer look at it.

The Food

The photo on the far left side is actually not edible, it is a table decoration that is shown in the centre of the table in the photo above. Don't let it fool you! The leaves are also fake on the table. The soup was a butternut squash soup with coconut milk, onion and I believe apples. Pictured on the far right was your typical Thanksgiving meal: cranberries, turkey, carrots, brussels sprouts, carrots, mashed potatoes and stuffing. There were also peas available but I don't care for peas. Of course there was gravy as well but I decided against having gravy this year.

Now onto desert! My two aunts made pumpkin pie with cloves inside and on the left, you have a cheesecake with MacIntosh apples laid on top of the crust! They were both delicious!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Hey everyone! Some people get intimidated by just the thought of liquid leggings let alone wearing them. I want to show you 3 easy ways that you can style them whether you are going for a night look or just a casual look for running errands.

 I actually wore this look on Saturday night when I went out to eat with some friends. I wanted to keep it comfortable yet classy and stylish at the same time. I absolutely love these Taupe boots and I didn't want to be super overdressed that evening therefore going with my comfortable Adidas Tracksuit Jacket.

This is a look that I often times wear if I am going out to eat at a casual restaurant or if I am grabbing coffee with a friend. You still look put together, yet you will stay warm and comfortable at the same time.

Outfit #2 Details:

Long Black Sweater - Joe Fresh

How To Style: Camel, Tan, Brown & Burnt Red Together

Hey everyone! As you may already know, I absolutely love fall fashion! Not so much the colder weather, but I love the beautiful colours and the layers of clothing that we can get away with wearing! This is how I would style a fall dress in the colour 'rust' or in more plain terms: a burnt red shade. Duster Coats are all the rage now and I put one over my dress to keep myself warm. You can see that I tied it at the back but if there is a draft, I can just untie it so that I can tie it in the front to block out the cold air from getting in. The camel purse was the perfect accessory along with the heels and the Tiger's Eye choker to tie this look together. 

Outfit Details:

Tiger's Eye Choker - DIY Choker

Duster Coat - Sirens Outlet $10

Rust Coloured Dress - Forever 21

Camel Purse - Hope's

Brown Heels - Hope's

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

How To Style Two Different Grey Sweater Dresses | Casual & Going Out |

Hey everyone! I absolutely love sweater dresses for fall! They are warm and cozy yet you can still make them stylish. The outfit on the left was inspired by a photo of Khloe Kardashian that I came across. The taupe boots are the perfect shade to wear with a grey dress because it does have a grey undertone. The casual, wearable look on the right is inspired by my love of street style. I can't get enough of it and I am always on the look-out for new pieces to add to my wardrobe.

Outfit Details:

Casual Look

White Dad Cap - Love Culture

Silver Chain Linked Necklace - H&M

Grey Varsity Striped Dress - Forever 21

White Low-Top Converse

Night Time Look

Black Choker with Crystal Pendant - DIY

Grey Sweater Dress - Romwe

Taupe Boots - Hope's

 Tying everything together is the perfect grey purse from FCUK. The black fuzzy heart keychain is from Love Culture & the grey pom pom is from Fairweather (it was a gift.)

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

Styling A DIY Muscle Tee

Hey everyone! I recently took a trip to The CNE also known as The Canadian National Exhibition or The Ex for short. I went on the last day and it is always a good time there!

The top that I am wearing was originally an oversized t-shirt but I wore it so many times that the sleeves started to fade significantly. I didn't want to get rid of the shirt all together, and that is why I turned it into a muscle tee. My choker is also a DIY project that I featured in this blog post. 

Outfit Details:

Sunglasses - Target

DIY Choker Necklace

DIY Muscle Tee - Original T-shirt was bought from The Life Apparel

Shorts - Charlotte Russe

Black Low Top Converse

Bracelets: Alex & Ani & Evil Eye

Inside the well-known and very popular Food Building, my friend & I stopped at a place called 'Bouchard's Poutinery.' I love poutine and had to try-it while I was there! I decided on 'The Cheeseburger Poutine' while my friend got 'The Mexican Poutine.' They were both delicious and I love cheeseburgers in general so a poutine dressed as a cheeseburger was a match made in heaven for me!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.

DIY Choker - 3 Different Styles for $15

Hey everyone! I have been noticing lately that everyone including the Kardashians have been rocking this fashionable choker circa 1990's. I went on the Urban Outfitters web site and seen that the necklace that I had been eyeing would cost me $22 CAD. I decided to make 3 different chokers for $15 CAD. You can see in the photo below, all the supplies that I purchased came from Michaels.

Choker #1

I will be wearing these shoes tomorrow night when I go out for my friend's birthday dinner and they were my inspiration behind this choker. At Michaels, there is ribbon that the floral department can cut for you if it is indicated on the roll. The smallest amount you can get cut is a half a meter. That is how much this piece is. I am just going to tie it at the back and layer another necklace with it tomorrow night! 

Choker #2

I used the thicker ribbon for this and instead of purchasing a backing for the necklace to secure it, I decided to use one of my old necklaces that I no longer wear. You need the two pieces for your choker and I literally just cut the chain with my red scissors. You then have the two pieces you need! It is as easy as that. Also, make sure to measure the choker around your neck and cut off the excess before continuing with the next step. 

Next, before you start stitching, I noticed that the ends were fraying more than I would like them to so I took a lighter and burned the ends to stop them from shedding. If you are under 18, please get a parent or guardian to help you with them step. I also did this step for Choker #1. You then are going to want to stitch your pieces to the ribbon. I made the mistake of using a chain with tiny links which made it more difficult to stitch and I had to use a smaller needle so keep that in mind. Once that step is done, connect the two pieces and you can rock your new choker!

When I cut what I needed from the thicker ribbon to make Choker #2, I still had a large enough piece left to make a fourth choker!

Choker #3

This is super easy and I just took the entire 3 yards of fabric, wrapped it around my neck several times and then added a cute little pendant. TIP: There may be kinks in the fabric because it was wrapped around a piece of cardboard. To get rid of the kinks, wrap it around something that is somewhat cylindrical such as a water bottle for a few hours, (I kept it wrapped overnight,) and then you will be free of kinks!

Until next time,

STAY CLASSY.
