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.

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.
