Hi Everyone!

How is your fall going so far? With the leaves changing, stunning sunsets (like the one above that I captured yesterday) and fabulous fall fashion, I am loving the new season so far! Here are my five favourite faves for the month:

With the cooler temps I am craving warming foods and getting creative in the kitchen every chance that I get. This grilled zucchini with stracciatella looks simple enough to make yet delicious enough to want to enjoy on a regular basis as a health side dish.

I recently ordered this coffee table book and I am loving it! As you know travelling and decor are two things that I love so the combination that this book provides is perfect for me. I find myself escaping into it whenever I get the chance, love it!

Fall fashion is always my favourite and this season is no exception. I am especially loving pairing blazers with everything from a full suit to jeans, leggings or even a dress. Here are three outfits that I am currently pulling inspiration from and my causal version for days when I am rushing but still want to look put together.

I often find myself feeling really stressed out and it’s often difficult to change the way I think about stress. I found the above image on Instagram (via @mindbodygreen) and I have decided to change my narrative. Here’s hoping that I birth something great due to my narrative shift!

I am overwhelmed with decorating decision for my condo which means that I have done very little. I found this image for a bedroom recently in my home design file (via @coveteur) and it perfectly captures the vibe that I was hoping for in my new place. It is now front and centre on my vision board as I move forward with my home decor project – wish me luck!

I hope that you are having a wonderful October so far, let me know what you are currently loving in the comments below. I hope that you have wonderful day! XXS

Trendspotting – Fall Florals

Published on November 5, 2017November 4, 2017 by soreiya2 Comments

Floral patterned clothing is normally reserved for spring. They add a freshness and a softness to the wearer’s outfit marking the change of seasons after a cold hard winter. My personal style tends to be a little bit more simple and edgy so florals rarely make an appearance in my wardrobe – the one exception is if I find a darker floral pattern that I can integrate into my wardrobe. Thankfully this fall darker florals are trending in a big way. From jackets and dresses to blouses and bombers, fall florals are everywhere this season. The darker, more muted colours blend seamlessly with other fall trends such as red clothing and accessories , velvet and gorgeous suiting

Fall florals can work for most people’s styles – the key is to pair it with things that you already own and love. I love to toughen up the look by pairing it with darker denim, leather jackets or leggings and booties. Here are some of my favourite fall floral looks this season.

Trendspotting – Well Suited

Although my personal style is quite casual, I have always loved a good pants suit. Maybe it’s because my mum is very particular about dressing professionally and wore a blazer to work almost every single day, but there is something about a great suit that gets me every time. I was understandably thrilled when pants suits began trending again. For a while there, ill fitting, dull coloured suits were the only options that most women had unless they were willing to spend an exorbitant amount of money, but now the tide has thankfully changed.

Skinny pants, oversized blazers, cropped pants, fitted jacket – they are all trending and they look fabulous! Different fabrications and patterns help the wearer express their own individuality without having to say a word. Paired with sneakers, block heels, t-shirts or chunky knits – the options are limitless and pants suits are now a great way to showcase your style and personality in a unique and chic way. Thankfully this trend will be continuing into Spring 2018 and I cannot wait to see fresh takes on this classic trend! Here are some of my favourite looks featuring the fabulous pants suit:

Trendspotting – Red Hot

Published on September 24, 2017September 23, 2017 by soreiya2 Comments

I love how wearing a specific colour can influence your mood. White is innocent and fresh, black is sophisticated and unfussy and red……well red screams power and confidence – red gets you noticed. While I am generally a fairly shy person who is really not comfortable with a lot of attention, wearing red makes me feel strong, confident and in control. Wearing red helps me to tap into my superpowers and in many ways is my not so secret weapon. I was thrilled when I saw a ton of red gracing the Fall 2017 runways – Fendi, Jil Sanders and Victoria Beckham all showed gorgeous looks. The street style take on this bold trend is just as fabulous – full red suits and bold accessories are definitely a trend that I can get behind. Here are some of my favourite looks featuring this trend both on and off the runway:

Fendi

Tod’s

Trendspotting – Check Mate

Plaid shirts, houndstooth coats and checkered anything for fall are hardly new trends, but this season things have been seamlessly integrated into fall fashion bringing new life to popular patterns. While I will always have a soft spot for a great plaid shirt, this season I am loving the oversized checkered blazer. This is such a versatile and wearable piece of clothing that looks great layered over jeans and a t-shirt, dressed up with a midi skirt or paired with cropped trouser for an elevated day look. You will look fabulous however you choose to rock this trend. Here are some of my favourite looks featuring the checkered blazer:
