May’s Top 5 Picks

1 May
May top 5 - floral bomber

Oasis Oriental Floral Bomber – ASOS $99

The perfect floral jacket in a great bomber cut for cooler nights

I honestly can’t believe it is May 1st today. The last month flew by, but we always say that I find. What makes me happiest about May first is that it is literally the first day of my favourite 5 months of the year. Since we have a pretty long winter up here in Toronto (and this year spring has taken forever to arrive) we have to cherish every single one of the beautiful, warm weather days we are given, and happily they seem to be here to stay this week.

This month I am on the look out for fun pieces that will add a summer touch to my wardrobe, and can also be versatile. This jacket is the perfect mix with the pretty floral pattern, mixed with a black background so it isn’t too precious. I always love a great statement necklace, and the colour and price point of this one is just right. Some cute espadrille flats will carry nicely into summer, and I can never get enough skirts with this cut, in fact I just picked this one up in white and I am dying to get my hands on this gorgeous yellow version. Finally, I am still loving the drop waist, and this piece combined with the easy to wear black and white print is a winner in my book.

What are you on the hunt for this month?

April’s Top 5 Picks

Who isn’t a fan of florals and stripes – making this the perfect combo

I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that it is April 1st today. I am so excited and ready to ring in the spring with some warmer weather and sunshine, but it feels like I blinked and the first quarter of the year came and went. My goal for April is to get outside as much as possible, prep my closet for the summer (read: major purge session), and work into a new workout routine that includes running, swimming and trying out the new Barreworks studio that is opening this week one block from our place.

In the meantime, I am craving spring pieces to add to my closet. I picked up this floral and striped top last week, it is literally the perfect combination in my eyes. I have had my eye on these Steve Madden sandals forever, so I think they will have to be added to the list now that sandal weather is hopefully just around the corner.

What are you goals, both for your closet and personally this month? I would love to hear them and steal some motivation from you!

I think this post pretty much speaks for itself. Not only has green been tagged one of pantone’s colours of the year, but with St. Patrick’s day happening this weekend, what better excuse do you need to go out and infuse a little green in your life? This is a round up of some of my favourite pieces in every shade and style of green. I would love to know, do you plan on picking up some green pieces this spring, for St. Patrick’s day or otherwise?

Have a great weekend celebrating!

March’s Top 5 Picks

1 Mar
march trench madewell

Crossweave-Sleeve Trench – Madewell $178

A fun twist on the tradition spring must have – the trench coat

Like I said yesterday, I am fully ready for spring. So with that mindset, it is hardly surprising that my dream list this month is full of things that either will transition well into summer, or really can’t be worn for a couple months here still. For me, even the thought of these spring/summer feeling pieces makes me giddy for the warmer days ahead.

I love that neon is still such a big trend, and of course it wouldn’t be spring without the beautiful pastels popping up everywhere. These sandals have literally been in my dreams since I spotted them in the March issue of Vogue, and I cannot wait to try and track down a more budget friendly look, but they were simply too gorgeous not to share with you.
