Culottes

It looks like culottes are one of the hottest trends this spring, and I was curious to see how they would work for my short frame.

The expression that things always come back into style is indeed true. I  remember my mother trying to pass down to me a bunch of her own culottes in different colors and patterns, years ago. However, we are different sizes and at the time I thought the style looked awkward.

Black Monochromatic, World Master Card Fashion Week Day 1

This week was World Master Card fashion Week here in Toronto and although it's been really exhausting it's been a really fun experience. I attended some great shows, met some great people/fellow bloggers, and found an excuse to dress up. Yesterday, I was back at it for the last day of shows. However, I wanted to share  what I wore the first day. I only attended shows 3/5 days because of school and other commitments.

Currently Crushing on.. 3 date dresses from Le chateau

I am not ashamed to admit that I have not been on a date in a while BUT I felt that I could still share a few dresses that would make any woman feel feminine, classy and utterly irresistible.  I love these 3 dresses which are all under $100 from Le Chateau. I was recently on their website and I thought for "currently crushing on" to also give you all some date night or daytime dress ideas. For those who are in the single boat with me, you can still have fun date nights with the girls, “beat face” and hair on “fleek”.

The Canadian Tuxedo AKA Denim on Denim

Although spring came officially on Friday, the temperatures here in Toronto have us wondering if  it's still winter. I left my house thinking that it was warm enough to rock this outfit without my winter jacket but that was not the case. So, I thought I would brave the cold for a moment and share what was underneath the jacket.

5 Toronto Area Fashion Designers You Should Know Part 1

I love the city of Toronto, although I don't technically live in the heart of it, I still consider myself from Toronto. I love the liveliness and how multicultural the city is.  Toronto also habours alot of talented indviduals such as these fashion designers listed below.

I was inspired to showcase this list through the company Runway Crush. Runway Crush  is a fashion marketplace where you can discover emerging designers first and shop their most coveted collections.   The great news is a lot of the designers  featured there are Canadian but they do have non-Canadian designers as well. So here at SMJ, we thought we should create our own list. The list is not in any particular order and includes some of the designers/brands that we personally have heard of and  think are great! The post is also in celebration of the upcoming World MasterCard Fashion Week happening next week.
