What I Wore – YSL movie screening

Wednesday evening was eventful! You may already know that, if you’re following me on snapchat (HumJK). I took the subway, which I hadn’t done in almost a year, that was nice. And I bumped into a friend, which obviously never happens when you’re driving. That was nice too. It was great hanging out with other bloggers and the Globe Style team. As bloggers we get so enthralled into our digital worlds we forget to make time for face time. No, I’m not talking about the iPhone app. I mean real, good ol face to face connecting.

We then went over to the theater for the YSL movie screening.

My thoughts on the movie, it’s definitely for an older audience to watch (too many drugs, vulgar scenes etc) but the clothes shown throughout the movie and the last collection was absolutely divine. The vibrant colours, turbans, belts, bangles… beautiful! I also learnt a few things I didn’t know about Yves Saint Laurent and some nifty tricks to use everyday. My favourite outfit? The model to the left of Yves below. (I’ve made a mental note to re-create that look, minus the turban).

Friday Faves May 31, 2014

Friday Faves: Feel the love!

What a beautiful Friday! The weather is amazing. It’s sweltering hot outside and I’m 5 days away from being in Bermuda! I have some pretty awesome videos and posts coming up, so don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel and Like my Facebook page to be the first to know. ;”)

Here are my Friday Faves that really made me feel the love for education, fashion, life and Coca-Cola.

Fave App & Website:

How many of you remember Reading Rainbow? It went off air a few years ago but now it’s back in a new way! Now there’s a Reading Rainbow application that you can download to your phone and tablet. Levar Burton is advancing with the new generation and bringing his love of books to life through technology today.

Check out the website here and here’s the video:

Fave YouTube Video:

Watching some YouTube videos and I found this one! Who doesn’t love parody videos? The babies are so cute and kudos to the parents for putting all of this together. After watching this one, I went over to the comments and saw RIP Connie and found a video about one of the mom’s in the parody video passed away due to giving birth to her second child. My heart and prayers go out to that family.

Fave pin:

I love Denis Gagnon’s designs.

denis gagnon 2013 — One of my favourite Canadian designers, Denis Gagnon.

Fave Movie:

Found out about this movie this week and I can’t wait to watch it! The story of YSL.

Fave Marketing Strategy:

I love what Coca-Cola did here. They’re filling a want by helping people connect with their loved ones. In return they’re affiliating that love and gratitude for their service into a long term love for the Coca-Cola brand. You know they’ll be reaching for a Coca-cola as opposed to Pepsi because of this added on benefit.

Spring April 12, 2014

Spring has Sprung

It’s a beautiful day outside, so it’s only fitting to share a few of my favorite pieces for this season. Some of these items I just couldn’t wait and went out to buy them, so you’ll see them in my upcoming ootd’s (outfit of the day) on Instagram.

1. A perfect pastel satchel. This one is from French Connection and I love the spacious inner compartment!
2. The tea length skirt. Mini, midi and maxi have a great new member. I’m going gaga over this modest trend. The hem hits just above the ankle.
3. Spring studs. Floral is back, so get a nice floral pair.
4. Beach ready Tory Burch espadrille flats.
5. Nautical stripes. No matter what your personal style, stripes will surely fit into your spring wardrobe effortlessly.
6. Guerlain Meteorites Powder.
7. The Clutch.
8. Bold sunnies. If you don’t have a bold pair already, be on the look out for a killer pair. I can’t wait to rock these Prada sunnies.
9. Metallics. We saw this trend in FW2013 and it’s been adorned since. These BCBG pumps make for a great statement heel.
10. Get bold orange lips! I love this YSL Tangy Mandarin color.
11. Wide-leg pants made a strong comeback this season. Flooding the runways in collections from Michael Kors to Ferragamo. Pair this style with a feminine blouse or bold blazer to get this season’s posh tailored look. Think, Victoria Beckham.

Keep these colors in mind when you’re out and about, shopping for your Spring wardrobe:

If you had to make a Spring 2014 Mix, what songs would you include?
