Spring Scarves

Spring is in the air and I am loving its arrival. I’m trading in my heavy winter gear in favour of lighter clothes and accessories, including spring scarves. Scarves aren’t just for bundling up in the winter; because of its lightweight fabric, it’s a great transitional piece and perfect for spring weather. Have fun with them -- I love the mixture of prints and colours spring scarves bring to any outfit.

Spring Into Denim Jackets

A good denim jacket is like a good pair of jeans: fitted, high quality, classic and never goes out of style. With a breath of fresh, spring air slowly peeking out, I’m looking forward to sporting my denim jacket many times this season. I love that you can slip it over pretty much anything for a chic and effortless look. I prefer a light to medium blue wash, but white, light gray and coloured denim are also a fun favourite. With so many different colours, washes and styles to choose from, there's something to suit everyone. Here are some of my favourite denim jackets for spring.

2. Paige Vermont Denim Jacket

3. J.Crew Nolita Denim Jacket in White

Sneak Peek: Our Spring '14 Lookbook

Over the weekend we headed to the incredibly beautiful Allan Gardens to do a photo shoot for our upcoming spring lookbook. Surrounded by stunning plants, interesting cactuses and lush greenery, it was the perfect backdrop for a fresh, spring look with a boho chic theme. We had such a fun time collaborating with our talented photographer, Amy Cheshire, and our lovely and gorgeous model, Kyal Rankine. We can’t wait to see the final shots for the lookbook, but in the meantime, here’s a sneak peak at some behind-the-scenes photos I took.

 

 

Orange Lip Trend

This spring, orange is the new red. Orange lips have been making a bold splash everywhere and we are loving this punchy citrus colour. You may think orange can only work for some people, but don't be intimidated -- it’s actually universally flattering. From a light, sheer coverage to a brighter, neon pop, there is something to suit everyone's complexions. Here are some of my favourite orange hues to freshen up your spring beauty.

1. ILIA Lipstick in Viola

2. Estee Lauder Pure Crystal Lipstick in Mandarin Pop

3. Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Timanfaya

4. Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in Siren

5. Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture Vernis À Lèvres Glossy Stain in Orange de Chine

6. Butter London Lippy Liquid Lipstick in Jaffa
