Graphic Print Blouses are the new Statement Piece

Graphic print blouses are kind of my jam right now. Did you see the insanely adorable macaron blouse I snatched here? And now there's this super cute lipstick blouse I picked up from SheIn! I'm not much a fan of button-up blouses; they're usually too stiff, bland and ill-fitting, so a fun graphic print like this, is a nice alternative. And no pulling around the buttons?? Yes, please! That's thanks to the boyfriend fit. Plus, I love half-tucking it in for a laid back look. Especially when the shirt has a nice silky texture to it like this one, it just drapes so perfectly!

Boyfriend jeans will always be a staple in my wardrobe - their versatility is just so great. You could easily wear this blouse with a nice skirt or dress pants, but I think it also works to pair it with ripped boyfriend jeans and some stilettos. Mix the casual and the dressy together for something a bit more interesting.

Vancouver Fashion Week FW2014: Day 2

Day 2, and my final recap of Vancouver Fashion Week this season, brought an amazing array of talented designs from the likes of LaSalle College, Na Hyun Lee, Connally McDougall, Maella Fashion Boutique, Grandi's Atelier, and Evan Clayton. To start, Na Hyun Lee's bright neon pieces with flouncy hemlines had me wanting a whole new wardrobe; the bright blue box-pleat skirt is the perfect addition to a bold, flirty look. I also loved the sassy yet classic taste of Connally McDougall's collection, right down to the cute complementing glasses! And on the complete opposite side of the spectrum, Evan Clayton's collection Jenova was feminine, but had a dark seductiveness to it. Congrats to Evan on not only being featured in Vogue UK, but also winning the opportunity to show at Vienna Fashion Week in September!

I stepped backstage with London Drugs to check out the trendy super-high hair do's being prepared for the Grandi's Atelier show. Vancouver Fashion Week Beauty Director Chris Funk walked us through how to create a voluminous french twist with Pantene products, so you can try it at home too!
