Toronto Fashion Week with Lucian Matis.

Designer, Lucian Matis made his long awaited comeback to World MasterCard Fashion Week (WMCFW)! The spring 2016 collection is surreal! Models gracefully walked the runway with rich colors, chiffon and pearl detailed gowns. And can we talk about the individual headbands that matched each of the beautifully constructed gowns?! Beyond breathtaking! 

Conveniently ran into these blogger baes before the show. #SQUADGOALS anyone?! [From left to right: Filipa, Tiffany, Jenny and myself). 

 And even more baes before the show. How gorgeous are Justine and Ania?! 

 

With the designer and Canada's best lifestyle expert, Janette Ewen, following the show.

Toronto Fashion Week, SS16 with Matthew Gallagher.

Third season attending World MasterCard Fashion Week (WMCFW), also known as Toronto Fashion Week. Let me just say that this season was the best because of the weather!!! It wasn't snowing and surprisingly, I did not need a coat at all the entire week I was there. Shocking, I know! 

Started my first day of fashion with FOOD!! Visited the new bakery, Millie Patisserie and  Creamery for a quick caffeine fix and a sweet treat, of course! I had the green tea crepe cake and my girl, Tiffany of City Sleek Chic had the tiramisu crepe cake. Let me just say that it wasn't as smooth and decadent as the infamous crepe cakes at Lady M in New York City, but it definitely satisfied the craving. And can we talk about the marble table and tiny flower vase of flowers?! Instagrammers dream come true!  

Embraced the negative space nail trend this season and let me just tell you, my nail technician back at home was not thrilled to try this on me, it's not easy to apply as it may appear. But she NAILED IT! :D 

Started my week with designer, Matthew Gallagher. Each piece from his upcoming collection is unlike the other. You can tell he took his time on details and making sure each piece is one of a kind. Loved the structured dresses, long and flowy gowns and sequined jumpsuits. Gallagher even personally styled jewelry on each of his models prior to the show. First time I've seen this as typically a stylist/assistant handles this job. 

 Love the Timeless Elegance collection from PANDORA's new Autumn Collection. How chic are the Twinkling Forever bangles stacked on the models?! The jewelry definitely made the runway SPARKLE! 

 

Matthew clearly admires my Snpachat skills :D! Fabulous collection!! Until next time... stay warm, stay chic!

Toronto Fashion Week Recap

Toronto Fashion Week- Fall/Winter 2014 (THROWBACK THURSDAY)

Last week, I had the opportunity to attend World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto, and it was AMAZING! It was my first fashion week experience and it was everything I expected and more! LOVED seeing Toronto's fashion elites all gathered in one place. Everyone had their own style and showcased their own trends rather than rocking the same old, same old. It was cool to finally see things behind-the-scenes too! Yes, I can confirm that there are stret style photographers EVERYWHERE and getting snapped while you're walking is both an honor and a tad bit awkward. Not going to lie, I'm never sure if I should smile or stop and pose. BUT I must say, getting snapped means your outfit is on point so I can not complain!

Although planning on outfits can be stressful, dressing-up is always fun. Clothes can really change the way a person acts and feels- and it definitely made me feel more confident! I love how you can instantly be a different person by rocking a different style/trend! So why not mix-up your clothes and accessories tomorrow and have a little fun?!
