OOTD: Shopping in Black & White

On Sunday I spent the day shopping and eating noodle box at Uptown with my mom and sister :) When I go shopping I love wearing clothes that are comfy and easy to take on and off for when I am in the change rooms. My Lululemon Wunder Under leggings are my go-to for this! Definitely a fall/winter must-have for any girl! As you can see, I am wearing no jewelry because I find it can get in the way! (I save the bling for when I go window shopping ;)) Since I'm skipping the accessories I wanted to make sure my outfit still had some "fun" to it, so I went for a graphic T and a mesh striped overpiece from Growze La. I got this while I was back in Japan, and fell in love with the vertical stripes immediately! I have yet to come across something similar, but the closest I came was a top from Nasty Gal (check the end of the post)! Thanks for reading and until next time!xo

How to: Dress up your Crop Top

The crop top. I could go on for ages about how much I love them for summer and all the many ways to wear them! Today, I will show you one of my versions of dressing them up. To start, grab your favourite crop top, (mine is from Growze Los Angeles) and pair it with a high waisted harem pant- patterned or solid colour works! Harem pants are so stylish and comfy, I love how they can be dressed up giving you that classy look, especially if they are leopard print- not being biased, I swear ;) Fancy sandals would look great with this look too if you aren't into wearing heels all day or night. Don't forget to throw on a bold lip and some fashionable shades! I'm wearing Russian Red by Mac, and my sunglasses are by Emoda. I am in love with the subtle cat-look and rimless bottoms..more like obsessed! Of course, don't forget your accessories to complete the outfit. I think this look will be perfect for those summer nights out for drinks on the patio! Trust me, all eyes will be on you ;)

Stylish Sweats

I have about 3 weeks left in Kyoto before I head back to Canada. Oh how time flies! My journey in Japan has been the most amazing 7 months of my life!! As much as I don't want to return home and I want to stay here I know that another chapter of my life is about to start, and for that I am excited to hop on the next train to my new adventure!

Okay so let's talk fashion now! I wanted to focus today's post on my sweatpants from Zara. These casual fashionable sweats were a huge trend last fall. I had my eye on these specific ones when they first came out and I finally caved and bought them at the beginning of this year. I love these ones as from the front they are grey but the back is all black. I went to Zara yesterday and it looks like sweats will be in style this spring as well:) They are so comfy yet fashionable and can be dressed up or down. I've seen tons of looks where they have been paired with heels- something I will definitely be giving a try once I go home to 90% of my wardrobe!;)


 

Shibuya Crossing

Today's fashion post is a throw back to one of my favourite photo shoots I've done so far! It was a beautiful day around Christmas time in Shibuya, and these photos are taken in the middle of the famous Shibuya Crossing. Over a million people cross it every day making it the busiest intersection in the world! 

My favourite item from this outfit are these leopard jeans from Harajuku. I have never been a huge jeans person, but if they are distressed or have a fun print to them..sold! Black, gold and leopard print is probably my all time favourite combo! It's classy, stylish and sexy all at the same time;)

 

Distressed

It's been a while since my last blog post as I have been constantly on the go traveling around Japan for the past 2 weeks. These pictures are taken from when I visited Osaka. I did some shopping at the famous Namba and picked up this graphic T from Zara. It caught my attention immediately and like the shirt even says it was a "must have"! I am loving it with these distressed jeans and sneakers as it gives it that edgy street style look. To finish it off on my lips I am wearing Ruby Woo by Mac.
