Summer lovin' happens so fast

The summer is coming to a start and CreComm is coming to a close, so is this blog. 

I have decided that my closing blog will be short and sweet. Many CreComm's are starting professional jobs in the industry. This blog will be about my favourite professional outfits for the summer. 

But first, tips. 

1) You can never wear an dress or skirt that is above the knee. 
2) You can never go wrong with a statement necklace. 
3) You should always wear layers. 
4) You should mix-and-match bright colours with patterns. 
5) You should always keep an eye out for cute sandal and wedges. 



Hope you all have an amazing summer, and enjoying dressing up! 

See you in the fall.

For those days when you just want to dance, but your just too tired.

Are you a student? Are you tired? Do you enjoy jumping up and down in excitement?

Well, I sure do. But sometimes I'm just too tired. Red Bull is the perfect solution for those days when you lack energy. Plus, it's the perfect accessory to any outfit.

The blue, red, and yellow primary colours can match with any outfit. Whether your running into your exams in your sweats, or preparing for a work presentation in your blazer and skirt, Red Bull is there for you.

Spring Fever

Spring is upon us! Thank goodness.

But warm weather isn't the only thing upon us.. Look out for Winnipeg's pot holes, geese, and puddles.

Almost everyone has spring fever after the long, cold, dark, winter months. When the warmth hits us, all we want to do is throw out our big, bulky, sweaters, and throw on our cute, spring, skirts. But trying to look cute, and stay dry, is always an issue for myself, and fellow spring loving fashionistas.

Lately I have been looking into rubber boots. I remember when I was in grade four, my mother made me go rubber boot, (I like to refer to them as ducky boot) shopping. She pulled me into this horrid industrial shoe store, and made me try at least five pairs of ugly ducky boots. I decided I didn't like ducky boots, and threw a mini tantrum.

And now, 11 years later, I am obsessed with cute ducky boots, and am on the hunt to find the cutest pair.

So far, I've fallen in love with these two pairs. Hunter rubber boots, in dark red, and Joules Evedon, Welly black rubber boots.

Let me know what you think! And send me your favourite pair of puddle jumpers.

Keep dry, and enjoy spring!

Fashion Fades, Style is Eternal: A Look Back at L'Wren Scott's Iconic Dress

This week iconic fashion designer, L'Wren Scott passed away. Such a tragic death from such a talented designer.

Let's take a moment to look back on the talented designers best work worn by the stars that adored her...



Penelope Cruz shows off Scott's signature style on the 2011 Oscars red carpet. Scott dressed Cruz in her famous form fit and sequence dress. The red, black, pink, and gold iridescent sequence makes Cruz stand out of the red carpet. 



Nicole Kidman is a longtime friend of the designer. Regularly wearing Scotts dressed on the red carpet. She flaunted this black and gold sequence gown at the 2013 Oscars. 


Krya Sedgwick from The Closer, was a fan of Scott's form fitting and sequence gowns. She wore Scott at the 2008 and 2008 Emmy's. 

When Oprah wears your dress, you know you've gone to the big league. Oprah wow'd her fans at her last episode of The Oprah Show wearing Scott's beautiful blush dress. 

Scott can desing anything from a form fitting sequence gown for the A- list stars, to a conservative yet classy dress for first lady Michelle Obama. This dress is from Obama's closet, she wore it during a photo shoot for Harpers Bazaar in 2010.

As Yves Saint Laurent once said, "Fashion fades, style is eternal." Scott's creations will never fade away in the fashion world. She was such a talent, she will be missed. 

R.I.P L'Wren Scott.

A Little Oscars Never Hurt No'Body

Hello,

So since I haven't had time to blog about the Oscars, I thought today would be the perfect opportunity to talk fashion, awards, and my favorite movie.

This year The Great Gatsby won two Oscars for best costumes and best production design.

Not only is The Great Gatsby an amazing love story its a great inspiration for a closet make-over.

I have a few 20's looking party dresses that are just so fun to go out in.

So grab your
fringe and sparkle dress, get those dancing shoes on, and fill your champagne glasses up. These outfits will inspire you to party like only Gatsby can.

Cheers!
