Giddyup, Ladies: The Riding Boot seems to be trending!

When it comes to cold weather foot wear I love a pair of over-the knee boots! I must admit that I wasn’t completely on board with this trend and I’ve kept a watchful eye on this fashion development as it seemed to make a big appearance in fall of 2015.

The winter has been very mild this year in Toronto so I’ve been able to stretch alot of my fall pieces into the winter.

I happened to come across a pair that caught my eyes! I found this Posh, knee-high boots with a sexy lace-up detailing along the back. It also features a modern mix of materials between mixed leather and a swede stretch fabric on the back. I also love that the heel features a gold plated GUESS logo.

Another Great thing about these boots is the circumference around my legs! It is the perfect fit!

Regular priced at $250 I only paid $125 which is still a lot for a pair of boots but I was really in love!

Wear Riding Boots with Style:

How to Style your Riding Boots?

Show off the sleek, long lines of riding boots with equally sleek pants. A pair of skinny jeans in dark wash that’s similar in color to your boots will make you look tall and lean.  As you can see in the pictures  below – I paired mine with a pair of dark blue Jeans. I also chose to wear a blouse to complement this silhouette along with my high collar fur vest.

Distressed skinny jeans also look good with women’s riding boots when you want a casual look, you can even throw on a tank/tee with a plaid shirt layered on top.

Try wearing them with leggings. Like skinny jeans, leggings mimic the shape of tall women’s boots, but they also give you a contemporary feel – you can and add a richly colored tunic for a great autumn look.

Now this look is one I can’t wait to try! A comfortable sweater dress worn over leggings will also show off your boots and look super cozy!

I also feel like a blazer, blouse and dark wash jean combination will also make a great equestrian statement.

If you don’t have a pair of riding boots already and you’re looking to try it out I would definitely recommend trying on few pairs and not rushing into purchasing a pair! Right now is a great time of year to find a great deal as the fall/winter season is coming to an end and spring wear will begin to hit the stores soon!

I’ve paid this super soft plaid shirt with a boyfriend t-shirt.  The plaid shirt is great because it can be worn buttoned down with a tank or the inside or buttoned up and belted! The sleeves also can be worn rolled up or down which gives you great versatility! You can pair this with either jeans or leggings.  I chose to pair them with shiny leggings and some over the knee boots which add a sexy feel!

I took the time to use my instyler to give my freshly Baylaged hair a blow out look!  Well talk about my hair a little later on… Here is the outfit breakdown!

I personally love boyfriend fit tops and shirts as I find them super comfy! If your sure how to pull off the boyfriend fit and keep it chic here are some tips to get you started!

1. You can pair any boyfriend shirt with leggings or Jeans and most skirts!

2. pair a plaid boyfriend shirt, leggings, knee socks and boots for a nice Fall weekend outfit.

3. Embrace the oversize and work with it! 

4. You don’t actually have to steal your boyfriends clothes… But that works too ♥

5. Swap the boots and socks for heels for a city chic look!

6. Ad a blazer to a plain boyfriend tee with heels and your choice of bottom for a work chic look! 

7. Add accessories!! Atackable necklaces and chunky bracelets  should so the trick! 

Now can we talk about my hair for a minute!? I’ve always wanted to get an ombre/baylage done in my hair but I’ve never seen a picture that I loved for some inspo. Also,  I previously had blonde highlights which are still growing out from two years ago and growing out a Bob. I found the perfect inspiration from my hairdressers instagram feed and knew it had to be done!  She did a great “sombre” on my hair which is a soft ombre..only affecting the ends of my hair with a lighter color than my natural black.  Now she did go darker as my hair does not hold onto color well..  This way it will fade into the color it should be in about two washes. I just wanted to share a photo with you all because who knows!!  This could be hair in-app for someone else who is also looking but can’t find exactly what there are looking for! 

Take a look!

Have a great rest of the weekend all!

The Shoe every Fashion blogger is wearing!

The basic ballerina flat is getting an upgrade this season with lace-up details. It’s already a  big hit with fashion bloggers everywhere which I’m sure you’ve seen pop up on your instagram feed a few times already!!

I adore a beautiful heel being a shoeaholic and all but realistically they just don’t work with my day to day lifestyle. The lace up ballerina trend is definitely one I can embrace and have some fun with. I predict this trend will hang around for quite some time.. I for one am already loving it!!!!

The skinny on coloured skinnies😜

Hello Gorgeous!

Coloured Skinnies are not something new to the fashion scene and not everyone is comfortable wearing a pair of coloured jeans.

I for one have only just begun to explore with coloured jeans… I started off with soft colours in the summer like baby pink and baby blue and as fall came along I purchased a pair of khaki green and forest green.

I find that it all depends on your personal taste and what your comfortable with! 

If you do dare to try a pair…of whatever colour that catches your eye and are not sure how to Style em.. Here are some tips!

1) Colour Block them
2) Pair them with Neutrals
3) Make it fun by adding a patterned top.. Animal print and floral are fun! 
4) Add a classic denim Shirt to the mix! 

Price Breakdown:
Fur Vest $39
Black Jersey Top $19.99
Forest green skinnies $ 24.99

Fall Fashion : The Fur Vest

1442845438954[1]

After a few years of watching this trend and second-guessing myself, I finally bought a fur vest!

I had decided that this was the year I was going to buy one, and when I found this piece at an amazing price, I knew it was a sign. I find that this piece is a staple in my closet for the fall. It’s a great layering piece for the cooler fall days and it’s great that you can throw it on and create multiple looks that will turn heads either way you dress it up or dress it down!

Here are 6 tips on how to wear a fur vest!

  1. Feel like a socialite by dressing up your boyfriend jeans by pairing it with a pair of pumps and statement necklace.
  2. Layer your sweater dress with your fur vest and a pair of knee high boots
  3. A fur vest instantly makes a white top/blouse with black jeans look amazing!
  4. Create a glamorous combination by pairing your fur vest with a floppy hat and over the knee boots.
  5. Go Classic with a striped shirt, blue denim with a cognac belt and boots!
  6. Be fun by pairing your fur vest with a graphic tee and bright shoes

P.S:  My Fur vest is faux-fur, I don’t wear animals!
