    Stylin’ in all kinds of ways at @LotusLeafStyle #pressdays

    IMG_2968

    We hung out at the Lotus Leaf semi-annual Press Days event this past week, and got to see the fall/winter 2014 collections from some of our favourite brands, all while enjoying delicious treats and drinks! Check out some of my favourite pieces from the brands that were featured below. I warn you, I kind of went crazy in the Dr. Martens section, there were just too many great shoes, and I need all of them!

    You may have many reasons to wear a dress. The question is, does your dress have many reasons to be worn? Buying a ball gown, for example, is great if you attend a lot of black tie events, but what if you want a dress that will not be buried in your closet most of the year? A midi dress, which is a dress long enough to extend beyond your knees without touching the ground, can often work as semi-formal wear and double as a casual outfit for friendly gatherings. Just make sure the dress you choose compliments your body. For example, a waistline tied with a sash and some high heels can help you look taller. A longer midi dress with no heels is better when you are tall and want to draw attention away from your height.

    @Guess Spring 2014 Media Preview

    IMG_20131105_185948We went over to The Spoke Club on King Street to check out the new Guess Spring 2014 collection. I really liked a lot of the pieces, especially a pair of white sandals with a golden rectangular heel, a gorgeous red bag, and a couple pretty dresses and shiny rings! My style is usually full of Β prints and bright colours, and I tend to dress really girly during the spring so, some of the pieces were right up my alley! Rachel from GUESS New York was also there to give us the goods on the new collection. We enjoyed some drinks and treats while browsing through and occasionally drooling over some of the pieces.

    Let us know what you think!

    Event LOVE: @GUESS Fall 2013 Collection Press Preview

    PicsArt_1367185465952

    Last week, the lovely Kayla and I attended the private GUESS Fall 2013 Collection Presentation for Woman over at Soho House in downtown Toronto.

    20130418_182631

    I liked quite a few pieces from the collection; we all know that I’m all about bright colours, and majority of the collection is dark colours. However, it’s dark done right, and if I’m gonna wear dark colours, I’m gonna wear them like this. I loved the leather shorts, the quilted leather sleeves on the dresses and the jackets, the cute purses… oooh and the jacket with the fringe detail! I loved that!Β Once we viewed the collection, it was time Β to enjoy some drinks and treats, and catch up with some old friends, as well as make some new ones πŸ™‚

    20130418_182908

    I’ve never owned anything fringe so I was surprised by how much I liked this jacket!20130418_183027

    Event LOVE: @GUESS Music Festival Collection Launch #GUESSRocks

    IMG_20130404_192517

    When I received the invite to attend a private launch of the new GUESS Music Festival Collection I was super excited, because 1: I’m always down for to check out GUESS’ new collections as they’re usually super cute, and 2: I couldn’t wait to see who would be performing at the event… Mind you the invite said NOTHING about live performances, so I don’t know how I managed to convince myself that there would be actual performances lol, I guess my mind ran away with the whole Music Festival Collection theme…

    20130404_184746

    Anyway, I was DIGGING most of the collection. I don’t own any Guess pieces, but after what I saw, I may need to add some pieces to my wardrobe, including the accessories. I mean sure we don’t have a Coachella here in Canada, but we have so many other awesome music festivals in the summer time, that the collection is totally perfect for!

    20130404_184549

    We sipped on delicious Vodka Lemonade drinks and treats while viewing the collection. It felt like summer in there, and then we went outside πŸ™

    20130404_184242

    I’m not big on jeans during the summer… or ever really, but some of them were kinda cute!20130404_184335

    I usually prefer big chunky bracelets and bangles but these would be nice too πŸ™‚20130404_184340
