Hello Friends!
One of the MANY perks of living in London is the fashion.
People in London dress to impress. The look is usually a bit hipster and ultimately more trendy than most places. These girls know their stuff.
One of the major trends coming up for the spring here are the satchels. If you pay attention, you will notice more and more of them popping up on the high streets and around people's shoulders.
Zatchels is a British company, started by two mates Dean and Brian, the owners of a small manufacturing business in the centre of Leicester.
The business is a new one and has grown immensely The Zatchels are made to order, so they do not keep bags in stock, you order it, they make is specially for you and send it over.
This does delay the shipping time by about 30 days, but what you get it a good quality leather bag made just for you.
They have the classic Zatchels in all different colours and patterns:
The one trouble I find with these bags, is that they are a bit pricey. All justified however, since they are made to order and made with real leather.
I have seen quite a few knock off in other stores recently, even a really cute white one with silver studs for about 10 quid in Primark.

They have also expanded their line and added smaller bags such as the barrel bag:
And the saddle bag:
How cute is this collection:

Knowing myself and how I love a bargain, I may go for the Primark one, although the Union Jack Zatchel, is to die for and would be perfect as a souvenir for when I move back to Toronto.
Which one is your favourite?

Hello friends!
Sometimes it is really fun to get all fancied up and take your date out to a nice dinner in a super trendy and posh restaurant.
I think this second outfit idea, as part of my Valentine's Day What to Wear series, is a flirty saucy way to make your Valentine very happy.
When dressing up a bit, you always want to make sure you look sexy and not trashy. That is why I think you should choose your best asset and show it right off. For example, if your cleave is what you know makes your significant other drool, wear a low cut dress, that flatters your figure, but sits a bit lower on the leg and covers the rest of your body well.
If however, you have legs that go on for miles and you want to show them off, keep your cleavage under wraps and wear a shorter cut hem.
I hope this next outfit gives you some inspiration on how to dress a bit more sultry for a dinner for two.
What are your plans for Valentine's day? If you are on your first few dates still, check out my outfit inspo for a fun flirty casual city date outfit, here.

To me the most nerve racking part of a first date, or even a second or third date, is what to wear.
You never want to over do it, so that its obvious you tried but you do want to look good and impress.
I thought I would do a Valentine's Day What to Wear series for how to dress cute and flirty without seeming you have put in hours of thought and effort.
Today, its all about the casual city date. You know what date I mean, the "Let's grab a quick cup of coffee and stroll around town" date.
You want to keep it simple, warm, comfortable, but above all cute. Make sure you wear comfy shoes you are able to walk in for a few hours (here's hoping). You will also need to stay nice and toasty, so a warm jacket that keeps the heat in but still looks stylish is a must. You dont want to hide your cute outfit underneath a bulky monster of a jacket. I think this look below is perfect.
What do find most stressful about the first few dates? Whats your go to item that you know never fails to make you look super cute on a first date?
Keep it here for more Valentine's Day What to Wear ideas.

Hello friends!
Happy fashion friday.
If you look back into the archives of my blog, you will notice that I have a love affair with Ruche.
During my routine check up on their website, I came across their Winter Wonderland promo.
Ask anyone who knows me and they will tell you that I am obsessed with white. My phone is white, I have more white in my wardrobe than I should, and I want my future car to be white as well.
Well anyway. Here are my favourites from the Winter Wonderland collection.
If you like what you see, click here and shop till you drop.

I'm a Canadian at heart. I've made this pretty obvious in past posts. However, I have fallen completely head over heels with London.
Fashion here is taken much more seriously than in Toronto. Not too say that girls in Toronto do not care about fashion or dressing up, I just think the mentality in London is different.
Having lived here for over a year now. I have come across some really amazing shops and markets to buy one of a kind pieces. The other day, I found myself in Angel, strolling through Camdem Passage.
I stumbled across an amazing antique clothing store which I just had to share.
Walking into Annie's was like being transported into time. The shop was dressed up with beautiful vintage flapper dresses, kimonos from the 1930's, top hats and so much more.
Little lace head bands and flowery head pieces adorned every nook and cranny. Every where you turned you saw something spectacular.
I highly recommend a look. Annie's is located on Camden Passage just across the Bryron's Burger joint in Angel, a few mins walk away from Angel station.

Thank you Audrina :)

Hello Blog world!
It has been a super long time since I have last posted anything on here! I am living in London UK at the moment and have recently discovered the London brand Lipsy. They make the most flattering and sexy going out dresses I have seen in a while. I like that they are quite good quality, figure hugging, flattering and decently priced. I bought the dress below on sale for only 20 pounds! Bargain!!!
It really does look a bit bad on the model, it looks much better on me :)
The link to their website is here.
Have you heard of Lipsy, which is your favourite dress of theirs?

A huge trend for this spring/summer is colour blocking. If you don't know what that means, its basically taking different coloured basics and mixing them together in one colourful outfit.
These tights from IWearSin.com would be perfect for any colour blocking ensemble. I remember last winter 2009, colour tights were very popular, around the time that Saturdays had their song UP. It seems these daring tights are making a slight comeback.
YAY, this means I can bust my pink and blue tights out again!
