<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"></span>This past winter has been brutal to us Canadians, so it may seem counterintuitive to want to wear anything remotely reminding us of snow. As juxtaposing as it may seem though, white just screams spring and is exactly what we need to finally welcome the season.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
In the past, I would tend to pair white with pastels, denim, or a bright colour top/pair of shorts, but this season, along with fashion in general, white is being styled in a much more refined way. Based on some all-white outfits I've seen so far, I thought I'd put together a few ways that white is being styled this season:<br />
<br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: center;"><b>1. With neutrals </b></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: center;">N</span><span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: center;">eutrals (camel, nude, or black) look very chic against white, and are a nice change from the bright colours we paired with white last season. </span><br />

<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="text-align: center;"><b>2. With metallics </b></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px; text-align: center;">Add metallic details to your all-white outfit, like metal (i.e.: exposed zippers) or metallics. Silver especially adds a nice subtle contrast to white, and isn't as loud as bright colours are. </span></div>

If you <i>do</i> want to pair your whites with brights, add interesting accessories, or bright lips or nails instead of an entire neon garment or pair of shoes.</div>

Ankle strap shoes are really popular for this upcoming spring/summer season- and not the dainty, feminine kind. Chunky, buckled, patterned, velvet, and metallic; as a current intern for a shoe company, it was impossible for me to ignore the astronomical influx of chunky straps on any and every shoe this season. </span></span><br />
<div style="min-height: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>The good thing</b> is if you’re into the trend, you can wear an ankle strap shoe in almost any situation. The flat sandal, the office shoe, the dress shoe, and the trendy platform heel have all incorporated this chunky ankle strap trend into their respective styles. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>The bad thing </b>is that ankle straps, especially thick ones, can make legs look shorter if not styled properly. </span></span><br />
<span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">If you're vertically challenged and love this trend, steer clear of bottoms that hit the knee or just below it- trousers that taper right at the ankle, above the strap will flow right into the shoe and elongate the leg. Loose shorts or an A-line skirt that hit mid-thigh will also elongate the leg, and neutral colours as usual, will almost always make your legs look longer. </span><br />

<br />
Despite being Italian, I've never been a huuuge fan of Emilio Pucci, but his Fall 2014 RTW collection just had me in awe. Maybe it was his monochromatic/velvet pantsuits that flawlessly blurred the lines between masculine and feminine, or maybe it was all those beautiful dresses that appealed to the rebellious beauty queen in me. Whatever it was, Emilio Pucci definitely caught my attention with these looks. </div>

Here are a couple more projects that I worked on this past summer- nothing overly showy, but that jumpsuit material was my favourite! I fell in love with the print when I saw it and immediately pictured it as a jumpsuit. This is a good example of my combining patterns to create my own, which probably isn't the smartest/most efficient thing to do but when ya know what ya want, it's hard to settle for anything less. :P<div><div><br></div><div>I actually made the grey skirt because the one I wanted from h&m didn't fit me properly. The fabric is so soft and comfy! </div><div><br></div><div>Hopefully when I get some down time from school/my internship I'll be able to finish some other projects I started over Christmas. Spoiler: blue sequinned jacket.</div></div>Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10594288204795789724noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1916260285555857326.post-68782014982756563772014-01-03T21:27:00.000-05:002014-01-05T00:59:23.511-05:00The Chronicles of Yarnia: Part 1 <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Being a fashion student, it's a given that I love fashion, but what pushed me in this direction was my grandma having taught me how to sew when I was 11. I really wanted <a href="http://academiaparaninfo.files.wordpress.com/2011/07/so-yesterday.jpg" target="_blank">this</a> skirt that Hilary Duff wore on the back of her Metamorphosis album and my grandma took that opportunity to teach me how to use a sewing machine. I started putting together multiple patterns and improvising my sewing skills, so it was interesting to actually take a sewing class when I started school because it taught me the <i>proper</i> way to make clothing (lol). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The Chronicles of Yarnia (a clever play-on-words name given to me by a friend) will be a series of posts I do to display some of the clothes I've made thus far. One of my closest and oldest friends was kind enough to act as my model (thanks, Angie)! The first two pieces I wanted to show off were a pair of shorts I made (which was actually an assignment for school), and a velvet cardigan that I made to briefly satiate my velvet obsession. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We did such a great job on it though- I have never been so proud of a presentation before.

On November 3rd, I was one of four students chosen to style a six-look collection for a fashion show at Faze Magazine's Be Extraordinary event. We were in charge of pulling the clothes, shoes and accessories to put together our collections based on 6 specific looks we were given: the <b>Fashionista</b>, the <b>Concert goer</b>, the <b>Athlete</b>, the <b>Gala gal</b>, the<b> Life of the party</b>, and the <b>Romantic</b>. Considering I had never done anything like this before, I'm happy with how everything turned out! I had <b>no</b> idea what "pulling clothing from the rack" entailed, and I'm still kind of unsure haha but I guess those are things I'll learn when I begin interning/working in the industry. Since I was the last to receive confirmation that I would be participating, I was allowed to recruit some of my friends as models, so I had two of my former roommates with me, which made it all that much more fun! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I aimed for a RTW collection, as opposed to a high-fashion look, and named my collection <b>Knockout</b>, to represent my theme of <b>Snow White meets luxe biker chick. </b>I love pretty, girly details like A-line skirts, flowing tops, and sparkles, but I also love the toughness of leather and dark colors against light skin. In terms of makeup, I wanted everything to be fresh-faced and simple, with just a swipe of bright red lipstick on the top lip and deep burgundy on the bottom lip. It's not really visible in the pictures, which is unfortunate, because it looked really beautiful up close! I might try to recreate the look sometime for the sake of taking some close up shots. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had never really considered a career in styling, but it was a lot of fun and I have since volunteered to help style/dress more fashion shows like <b>Canada's Bridal Show</b> and <b>the Total Wedding Show</b>, which are both in January. Being so new to the fashion industry, I'm trying to volunteer for as many events as I can, in order to figure out where exactly I want to build my own career. </div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So I finally quit my job last week and BOY am I relieved. A lot of people have told me I sound spoiled and entitled when I say I would never do a job that makes me unhappy. They say, "You won't just be handed the job you want" and "When you have to pay all your own bills, you can't be picky." </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I wholeheartedly agree that sometimes we have to do jobs we don't enjoy in order to support ourselves and/or our families. I do NOT, however, agree that anyone should stay in a place that makes them miserable. My motto is to <i>create</i> my own happiness rather than <i>search </i>or <i>wait</i> for it. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I am a firm believer that a positive environment is the most important aspect of a job. Even if it's cleaning bathrooms at a movie theatre (which I have done- and it was probably my favorite job to date because of the people I worked with), a positive work environment makes work a lot more enjoyable. When we're practically forced to work 40+ hour weeks, why not at least enjoy it? :P </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So anyways, I was about a week shy of having worked at my job for 3 months and I couldn't bear to do it anymore. My boss was everything a boss should not be: patronizing toward me, unprofessional- he swore incessantly both in conversation with me <i>and </i>with his customers and clients, and worst of all in my opinion, he was <i>very </i>negative - I could not tell you one positive thing he said in my three months there. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> I personally don't think swearing or patronizing, among other things, are professional ways to act, however it's every business owner's prerogative to run their business <i>their </i>way- after all, people start businesses because they don't want to follow someone else's rules… It got to the point where I was always stressed out and miserable and at times fel my blood pressure going up when he was yelling/swearing at people on the phone, and my parents finally urged me to quit (especially with their only being a couple weeks left before school starts). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I can honestly say that despite missing a steady income, I am so relieved to have quit and I am turning all my focus towards school and building my career. I can't wait. :D </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My family likes to have homemade pizza nights every once in awhile. It's fun to customize our own pizzas by throwing whatever we can find onto them, and it's a good way to get our entire family pitching in to cook dinner. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I think anyone with a full time job- or with parents who work full time- knows how hard it is to a) eat healthy foods and b) eat often enough. My dad works until 7 or 8 pm most nights and for the past four or five years, Friday nights have been 'take-out night' at our house. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">With my brother studying nutraceutical sciences (--> nutrition meets pharmaceutical) and I being into all things health and fitness related, Friday nights have always been a challenge for us. Most take-out is not healthy at all and as much as I love sushi, you can only eat it so often before feeling the permanent bloating from sodium and white rice. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We decided then, since I don't have work Fridays and since my brother doesn't work, period, we would make Friday nights 'sibling cooking night'. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Despite my father's protesting that "Friday night is my excuse to eat unhealthy food", I'd say we made a pretty impressive meal!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/quinoa-black-bean-burgers/">quinoa black bean burgers</a> (click the link for the recipe) were especially good! I've never been a fan of garlic or onions, but I couldn't even taste them. The recipe called for yellow bell peppers but we didn't have any, and we added chili pepper and Italian seasoning for more spice. They didn't turn out too spicy, but it really added more flavor. We also used 1/2 cup of quinoa instead of 1/4 cup, which seemed to make the perfect amount.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The <a href="http://allrecipes.com/recipe/ricotta-stuffed-squash/">ricotta stuffed squash</a> didn't turn out quite as well as we'd hoped, but it was still delicious! (Maybe because I have a borderline unhealthy obsession with anything cheese-related.) The recipe calls for yellow squash which we couldn't find, so we got summer squash and I don't think we cooked it long enough. I also measured 10 oz. of spinach based on the size of a 1 oz. shot glass (skills learned in university). I'll give ya this advice for free: 1 oz. of vodka is not the same as 1 oz. of spinach.</span><br />

Finally got back from Montreal around 1am last night (after the longest [12 hr] bus ride of my life…). I didn't have time to shower the night before so, due to a whipped cream fight that had broken out Sunday night, I had to go to work today looking a little bit sloppy. I tried to wear an outfit that contrasted my sticky hair and my completely energy-drained face (hence the decapitation of my head in these pictures). </div>

Anyways, Osheaga was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. I love the energy of music festivals and being outside all day, relaxing to amazing, live music. I need to get my pictures developed (I decided to be hipster and bought disposable cameras… haha) so I'll post them within the next couple of days. Until then, my outfit for work, today: </div>

I think France was the main reason my style changed from a vintage-, oversized- and mismatched-everything kind of style to a more sleek, mature, style. I wouldn't say I dress old now, but I definitely focus on wearing age-appropriate and future-career-appropriate clothes. I started wearing a lot more silks and chiffons, button-ups, rolled up cuffs, tied-up shirts etc… as opposed to cuts that were unflattering on me (I have big boobs and I've learned that high, boatneck shirts do <i>not</i> suit large chests.)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I was reminiscing of last year, recently, and I thought I'd share some photos of my favorite outfits from France. I think I look French, if I do say so myself ;) </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> Visited the <b>Eiffel Tower</b>, of course.

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">One of our group field trips was a trip to Amboise, a small town about 3 hours from where we were (Tours, France). This castle offered such a beautifull view. </span></div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The whole time I was there, I couldn't wait to come home. I love Toronto, and the busy city and always having something to do. I didn't really start to miss the trip until a couple months ago when <i>everyone</i> suddenly decided to go to Europe for the summer. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As soon as I graduate, I definitely plan on saving up and taking a big Eurotrip. I think it's something everyone has to do at least once (or twice…) in their life. </span>Stephhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10594288204795789724noreply@blogger.com0
