The Perfect Parka: Parajumpers Angie Review

I’m always on the hunt for the perfect parka. I currently live in Ottawa, Canada for school, and one of the students at the legal clinic is an international student. I remember one morning, we all warned her about the winters and the necessity of a heavy-duty down coat. I’ve had many parkas over the years, and unlike my sister,…

KENZO x H&M

Did you check out the KENZO x H&M collection? The collection landed in H&M stores on November 3, and featured products for men and women. The French luxury brand, founded by Kenzo Takada brought its colourful streetwear in dazzling animal prints and embellishments to the mall chain. I loved the colour and larger-than-life prints in this collection. kenzo-x-hm-dress-9-of-10kenzo-x-hm-dress-1-of-10 kenzo-x-hm-dress-4-of-10 I picked up a KENZO x H&M dress, that retailed for $119 CAD. The price was appropriate and very affordable. The knit dress features a quality material, that has a lot of weight to it. I love the turtleneck shape and the ruffle flounce at the bottom. My sister loves to crochet (check out her Etsy shop, 6IX Stitch here), so I enjoyed this crafty detail in contrast to the 1980s pastel tiger print. I wore the KENZO x H&M tiger print dress with a Mackage handbag, a leather snake bracelet from Florence, and suede light blue heels from Zara. Here are my favourite pieces from the collection: [show_shopthepost_widget id="2087344"]

Sailor Moon Costume

For Halloween this year, I was one of my favourite childhood characters... Sailor Moon! My Sailor Moon costume was actually a repeat outfit, from when I was a child! My mother sewed the costume for me from a McCall pattern (which I'm sure I still have...) and made it in the largest size. I added a pair of gorgeous red leather over the knee boots, white gloves and a toy Sailor Moon's wand  to complete the look. sailor-moon-costume-1-of-7 sailor-moon-costume-7-of-7 tuxedo-mask-costume My boyfriend was tuxedo mask, because my costume wouldn't be complete! For his Tuxedo Mask costume, Daniel wore a tuxedo from Topshop, a white shirt, a vampire cape (flipped inside out to hide the red collar), a top hat and a papier maché mask from the Dollar Store.

Green trench coat + over the knee boots

After a chilly weekend, one thing is clear: fall is finally here. I've already swapped loafers for over the knee boots. Here I've paired the OTK boots with an acid green trench coat, denim and an embroidered blouse for an elegant fall look. green-trench-coat-over-the-knee-boots-8-of-11green-trench-coat-over-the-knee-boots-10-of-11 green-trench-coat-over-the-knee-boots-7-of-11 I'm wearing a bright green trench coat from Primark (similar here), embroidered blouse from Anthropologie, J Brand skinny jeans and Chinese Laundry Samantha over the knee boots c/o DSW Canada. green-trench-coat-over-the-knee-boots-3-of-11 green-trench-coat-over-the-knee-boots-9-of-11 I love the way these taupe over the knee boots compliment this colourful fall outfit. I feel that a pair of black boots would have been too harsh with my green trench coat. The Samantha style from Chinese Laundry are tall enough for my height, which is a huge plus. I also like the contrast between the slouchy construction and the stiletto heel. I feel that OTK boots elevate any outfit into a chic, trendy look. They're also super warm, so over the knee boots are definitely here to stay!
