When in Doubt..Throw a T-Shirt On!

Folded Jeans + T + Heels = <3


Oversized T-Shirt gives you a relaxed look

There are many times where I find myself struggling with making a wardrobe choice...and it is always when I'm in a rush. As I am sure you can relate, I find that the T-Shirt is always the best way out. Not only can you dress it up or down, you can completely transform an outfit inexpensively. From Vintage T's to cutting it off half-way and making a crop-top...The T-shirt is always there for you. My suggestion to you is to go all out on those large fruit of the loom packs they sell in the boys section at Zellers or Walmart or your equivalent and go scisor crazy on them. Crop it out...Cut the Sleeves...Roll the sleeves...Cut the Neck so you get an off the shoulder look! I know you say you might not have time...but when you have those couple of minutes of nothing to do, rock out with your t-shirts and be creative...so when that wardrobe stump comes along, you're prepared!

Here are some of the ways I would wear the T-Shirt:


Cut Your T a little shorter and Pair it with Shorts


Going Out? Tuck your T into a skinny skirt!


Classy up your T with a Blazer


Vintage T, accessorise with an XL Handbag


Buy a Size or 2 Bigger to give an easy-going feel (T by Wang)


Crop Your T if you're feeling BOLD


Tuck Your T into a Pair of Jeans and Add a Belt


White T's Are Sexy and Simple


When You accessorize properly you get an expensive look


Add Denim


V-Neck T with Skinny Black Tights, Can't Go wrong


Turn into a Dress, American Apparel has this exact look


Agyness Deyn, Go Wild with your T and express yourself

Floppy Boot Makes it on the Runway

Daria, Canada's own Supermodel for Isabel Marant



As I was perusing the stunning runway shows of the coming seasons, I fell in love with Isabel Marant's suede boot. Apprently she fell just as in love because she paired it with every outfit on the season's show! Fashion Rules online website gives a great Do It Yourself project that allows you to obtain this effortless casual boot, follow the link the below:

Scrunched down makes for a great ankle boot


Worn up gives a classier look

Ode to the Denim Vest...







We all know how much I appreciate Denim, but something you should all give a try (if you havn't already) is a Denim Vest. I particularly enjoy the jean Cut-Off Vest and it can be beautifully paired with a one-sie to give it that extra je ne sais quoi... Here are some exmaples of how you can dress-up or dress-down the jacket/vest.

I just SHOEGASMED..




TO DIE FOR!!

OH my dearest McQueen... Revolutionised the shoe in more ways then the acid-trip could imagine. Needless to say, he was a genius...but his Black Leather Ankle boot just gave me a genuine SHOEgasm. What started off as a bootie curiosity, drove me into a whirlwind of leather bootie lovin'.. Insert Maurie & Eve's Biker bootie...Followed by Isabel Marant's studded take on the ever-so-beautifully crafted boot!

The great thing about the bootie is that it can be worn in every season! I personally own a peep toe version of this shoe that you can easilly wear casually or dressed up during the hotter months. Once it's starts getting colder, you MUST get yourself a black/brown leather toe-covering bootie and you'll never get stuck wondering what shoe to wear..it goes with almost everything!

Ladies & Gentleman, revel in black bootie GLORY!
