Sorbet

Whether we’re transitioning from winter to spring or vice versa, we’re always layering and taking off. Mornings start off crisp and we transition into warmer days, and light jackets are ideal. Also, with Spring/Summer we think colour, and yet my outfit doesn’t scream bright, but it does have a feeling of Spring! If you’re tired of pants, try opting for a maxi skirt, a light blazer and a pair of fabulous wedges or booties.  How would you transition an outfit? ~Love CTina XO

I want to say a big thank you to Aldo for these AMAZING pumps from the Truth or Dare collection by Madonna! Not only are they stunning, but they are the most comfortable pair of pumps I’ve slipped on in awhile! The Truth or Dare collection by Madonna is targeting Madonna’s core demographic {women aged 27-50} who have sex appeal and timeless style, just like her! Thank you again Aldo! ~Love CTina XO

Floral Prints

Big thanks to Cathryn Ann Designs for this amazing teardrop crystal necklace! I absolutely adore it and everything else from her collection, which you can find on Etsy!

Denim is something that no wardrobe can be without! For Spring 2013 the hottest trends in the denim department are waxed, patterned, and colour-blocked (whether it is different shades of denim or just colour-block in general). Although I adore waxed/coated jeans, I feel that for Spring/Summer patterned denim is my favourite. Whether you pair with heels or with statement flats, these jeans are a favourite pant in my wardrobe for the upcoming season!

Casual Chic

Hope all of you loves had a very Happy Easter! Since ripped jeans is really not allowed at my place of work, yet I try to get away with it sometimes, when I’m in the office and not out and about with clients, I find that the only time to wear them is out on weekends.  Pairing them with a casual chic jacket, like this leopard one and some pumps can make this outfit appropriate to wear at family functions or even a day outing! ~Love CTINA XO

Yellow Pop

Hi Loves! It’s been a while since I’ve done an outfit post, but I’ve been so swamped with Toronto Fashion Week that I’ve had literally no time to do posts!

With an complete black and white outfit, I’ve always been drawn to a bold color to pop. Since citrus yellow is a very hot color for Summer, I couldn’t resist having it as my ‘pop’ color for this outfit! What color do you usually use for a pop? ~Love CTina XO
