Kick It Up

Vans: c/o Union Jack Boots

It seems as though the sneaker trend has been everywhere lately, and of course Damn Daniel must have helped boost it up. From being paired with distressed denim to even with dresses, cute kicks are becoming a wardrobe staple.

Coming from  a girl who loves her heels, my last shoe purchases have included 3 pairs of sneakers (the comfort)! I fell for these rose gold Vans immediately and knew they had to become part of my Spring/Summer rotation. Sadly, it's sometimes hard to find these styles in Halifax but online shopping has made it all so easy. For more sneaker styles, make sure you check out Union Jack Boots!

Spring is in the air friends, so why not look like a combination of Easter and spearmint gum? It is my flavour of choice after all. 

I love the idea of spring leather. With the light hue of this jacket mixed with the ruffle collar, I feel like me and this jacket will be besties this season. I also got the chance to finally break in my new rose gold pumps! Probably will be besties with those too. 

In other news, I was so excited to be featured in Lucky Magazine's Look of the Day! Check it out here!

Hope 2013 brings just as much, if not more, shopping joy! What were your fave items of 2012?

Pink isn't just for babies

I first came across rose gold a few years ago and I’ve been hooked. It complements any outfit and you can mix it with other metallics without clashing. The hardest part was deciding on which items to invest in. But ever since Sophie’s choice was resolved, it’s been my jam.

Currently wearing: Michael Kors watch. H&M bracelet.

Accessories in this hue were the first to capture my attention on wrists, fingers and necklines but the rest of the body must have filed an affirmative action suit because it’s appearing on clothing, purses, makeup, shoes, and more. So girls, get rosey and shimmer your days away!  

Boys, don’t feel left out. Real men don’t just wear pink anymore. Real men wear rose gold! Michael Kors and Burberry are only a few of the brands to have rose gold watches for men. The man bling doesn’t end there, it has made its appearance on cuff links, tie clips, and man tiaras. Ok maybe not tiaras. Although everyone deserves to be a princess for a day.

Lanvin cuff links and tie clip. Burberry watch.

It may seem like the sudden invasion of rose gold is trendy but I definitely think it’s becoming more of a staple. So the next time your birthday or Valentines Day comes around – remember this - roses die but rose gold is forever.
