Truth or Dare

April 8, 2013 By 2 Comments

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

Baseball Cap

March 13, 2013 By 11 Comments

I spent most of my elementary school days in tomboyish attire, and it wasn’t until high school (where even though I wore a strict uniform) I became ever so girly! I haven’t given the tomboyish look a thought in a long time, but it was until I spotted this baseball hat and put it on! I’ve realized it gives complete edge to an ordinary outfit, and I’ve now become sucked in with a couple of caps under my belt! The oversized khaki jacket and jean shirt makes for a very androgynous look when pulled together. ~Love CTina XO

Hi Loves! Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! The weather in Toronto made it feel like summer was just around the corner (wishful thinking I know), but the warm temperatures just had me feeling my tulle skirt for a day out! Hope all of you enjoyed the amazing weather outdoors and not in! ~Love CTina xo

DIY: Toe-Capped Pumps

October 12, 2012 By 6 Comments

As I’ve mentioned before, I am completely obsessed with the toe cap trend, that I decided to take an old pair of Nine West pumps and transform them into this seasons hottest shoe, by adding a gold toe cap! Takes only about 5 minutes and voila, you’re ready for a night out on the town!! ~Love CTina xo

What you’ll need:
- Pair of black pointy toe pumps (mine are from Nine West)
- Painters tape – that way it doesn’t ruin your shoe
- Gold spray paint – from Michael’s or any craft store (you can use any metallic color)

Directions:
- Place painter’s tape 2″ from the tip of the shoe
- Take the spray paint and spray just the tips
- Let it dry for 5 minutes, and then give one last spray
- Let it try for 30 minutes
- Remove tape carefully
- Voila – Your toe capped pumps are ready for a night out!
*Note: you can do this to plain flats as well!

DIY Style Creation: Studded Collar

August 15, 2012 By 13 Comments

This is my 2nd Vlog and I’m so excited to be doing something on one of the seasons HOTTEST trends and one of my biggest obsessions – STUDS! Using earrings, I studded the collar of my denim shirt. This quick and easy fix is not only interchangeable, but great at adding that extra detail and splash to an ordinary shirt!

What you’ll need:

- Few packs of studs (mine are from H&M)
- Denim Shirt (or any collared shirt)

Hope all of you will try out this amazing project and I want to see pictures of your designs!! ~Love CTina xo

Fire Engine Red

To follow on my Fall 2012 Trend Report yesterday, I thought it was most appropriate to sport my fiery-red leggings. I am looking forward to Fall/Winter – just so I can purchase a new wardrobe – but I am very upset when this HOT weather starts to cool down, and my open toe shoes become closed toe! ~Love CTina xo

How To: Candle Holder

July 10, 2012 By 1 Comment

I’ve been very inspired lately to do as many DIY projects as possible! I have a ton of candles at home and I wanted a unique candle holder, but couldn’t find the perfect one, until I came up with this idea, using sticks (I found by the lake), shells (some I collected on the beaches of Portugal and others were store bought), and sand.  This very simple project takes no time and can be used as center pieces on a table or as an accent on a bookshelf! Enjoy loves!! ~Love CTina xo

How To: Key Caps

June 28, 2012 By 1 Comment

I always have tons of keys on one key ring, that there are days, especially nights, I can never distinguish which key is for what! I knew I could go to a key store and buy the key caps, but how boring is that! I wanted them to be stylish, bright and full of glitter, which is why when I saw that using nail polish would work I just had to do it! Happy crafting! ~Love Ctina xo

What you’ll need:
- Nail polish (I used a base color, Sephora & China Glaze, then glitter as a top coat, OPI & Sephora by OPI)
- 2 or more keys
