I thought I would continue sharing some of my fall picks this time from some of my favorite Canadian brands. So over the next week I will highlight each of their new fall collections. First up is a brand that you all know I love, Joe Fresh!

From burgundy to evergreen these beautiful rich colors can be found in Zoya's NYFW 2012 Designer collection (in Canada avilable here + on sale!). The collection was inspired by last February's NYFW fall/winter collections and includes some custom colors for designers Peter Som and Bibhu Monhapatra.

While summer clothing can be difficult to wear into fall the great thing about jewelry is that you can wear it all year long. So here are some great pieces that I managed to find on sale that will never be out of style :)

It's been awhile since my last post and I know summer is more than half over but better late than never right ;)
This summer has been ridiculously hot, 30+ everyday! And as someone who walks to work it has been a challenge to put together work outfits for the summer. So I thought I'd share some of my summer work wear tips that have helped me cope with the weather :)

I hope all my fellow Canadians had a wonderful Canada Day and are enjoying the long weekend! Last weekend my sister went strawberry picking and came home with two huge basketfuls of berries. After sharing some with family and friends we froze a tray but still had a lot left. I started looking for recipes other than ones for strawberry jam (we already had too much jam in ourAmy (whatimlovinglatey)http://www.blogger.com/profile/13619134547105209955noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759074057095379072.post-27378037819355189172012-06-14T08:00:00.000-04:002012-06-14T08:00:17.685-04:00Timely Style
A watch can be the perfect accessory to complete any outfit. Whether it adds that pop of colour or sparkle, a watch gives you some serious arm candy. As a result of the arm party trend there is now a wide range of watches available. From the classic gold tone to bright neon and in a variety of price points, there is a watch for every style.

Those who know me, know that I wear a lot of blue. It's something that I've inherited from my dad. So while I've been incorporating other colors to my wardrobe over the years, blue is still my go to color. There's something so classic about blue and it can be a great neutral to pair with other colors. Right now I'm loving the combination of blue Amy (whatimlovinglatey)http://www.blogger.com/profile/13619134547105209955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4759074057095379072.post-61521200790247085382012-05-25T16:52:00.003-04:002012-05-25T16:55:06.740-04:00Victoria Day Shopping Haul
It is usually hard to get back into the swing of things after a long weekend. And in my case, I was greeted to a pile of marking and a multitude of problems on Tuesday morning. So I couldn't be happier that it's already Friday, thank goodness for the short week!

I have always been the type of person who won't buy things, from groceries to clothing, unless they're on sale (it's probably the Asian in me!). I'm always on the lookout for a great deal and that includes using coupons! Maybe it's due to Extreme Couponing on TLC, but I've noticed that I've been couponing a lot more lately.

While this spring is all about color, I'm suddenly craving the lovely neutral toned items shown below. Perhaps this craving is a result of an overload of color in the stores or maybe it's due to my love of classic pieces. Whatever the reason I just can't help but be drawn to neutrals at the moment!

So of course I was super excited to check out their Fall 2012 collection online. And I wasn't disappointed, the collection was very retro fun and I saw lots of pieces that I couldn't wait to buy.

As Toronto Fashion Week has now come and gone, I thought I'd share with you some of the looks that stood out for me. While I love couture and elaborate gowns shown at some of the other fashion weeks, I really appreciate how wearable these looks are. Part 2 with one of my favorite Canadian lines will be posted tomorrow!
