Pastel Pops







Coat: Express // Skirt and Top Set: Express // Heels: Call It Spring // Handbag: Michael Kors

I don't know what took me so long but I am finally on the Scream Queens bandwagon. The colour scheme, the outfits, the murders, the closet - fully on board.

As much as I would love to dress like the Chanels every waking moment, something tells me that wearing pastel fur coats and feather dresses may cause a "Nadia.. what on earth are you wearing" talk at the office. Pastel pops and a pearl necklace is just my little way of releasing a subtle version of Chanel Oberlin without walking around calling everyone a trollop.. although I do that as well..

Closet Staple: The Office Dress


Dress: Banana Republic // Heels: Aldo // Lips: Mac Diva

There are certain dresses that every girl should have in her closet that will just make her days more efficient. These include, but not limited to:

1. The "I'm going out on the town and need to look good - real good" dress;
2. The "I feel bloated but need to get dressed" dress; and,
3. The "Office" dress

This Banana Republic number makes for the perfect office dress. The material is comfortable for days filled with long meetings. The neckline and the sleeve length adds sophistication. And finally, the fit and the slit will make you feel like Jessica Pearson from Suits.

Velvet Statement





Dress - Dynamite
Cape - Splurge Boutique (shop here)
Boots - Guess

Every girl should have a couple of items in her wardrobe that make a statement. Yes, basic pieces are an essential part of a wardrobe but let's face it, who actually wants to be basic? How many holiday parties have you gone to to find all the ladies wearing black dresses. Don't be a bore! Throw on a jewel tone cape over that LBD of yours! Or wear it to the office like I did over a tweed turtleneck dress.

Queen Bee


Sweater - Forever 21
Necklace - c/o Rickis
Skirt - Express
Tights - Calvin Klein
Shoes - Call It Spring

There is something about this outfit that makes me think of being a student at Constance, sitting at the steps of the met thinking of what girl to terrorize next. Instead, I went back to the Dalhousie Engineering Campus, my old stomping group, where I used to hang out..also terrorizing. I guess some dreams do come true..

Tweedheart





There are a few things that are good about the Fall and no, I'm not referring to Pumpkin Spice anything. 

1. The line between a skirt that's borderline too short all of a sudden seems ok with dark tights.

2. The incorporation of textured fabrics into your wardrobe.

I took advantage of both of these seasonal benefits in today's outfit. Although I paired the tweed-esque skirt and top combo together, you could still incorporate texture into your outfit one piece at a time.

Top - Express
Skirt - Express
Shoes - Call It Spring
Watch - Gucci
Necklace - Splurge here
Ring - Forever 21
