Masquerade

black metal filigree mask venice Now that prom and wedding season is in full swing, I wanted to share a formal look I wore to my law ball. I wore a black lace Self-portrait dress with nude shoes and wavy hair for a sultry night look. The theme of the evening was masquerade, so I based my look around a precious metal filigree mask I bought in Venice. The piece normally sits on my bookshelf, but I was so excited to finally have an excuse to wear it! I based my whole look around it, and wore a black lace dress to compliment the details of the mask. I'm wearing a black lace Self-Portrait dress, nude shoes from Calvin Klein, a filigree mask from Venice and a DIY ribbon choker. Shop the post: [show_shopthepost_widget id="1647644"]

Battle of the Bloggers: my appearance on The Marilyn Denis Show

On Friday, one of my dreams came true! I've been watching Marilyn Denis for years with my mom, and I couldn't believe that several years later, I appeared on Fashion Fridays! You can watch my full segment here. Emily is a busy theatre student, and was hoping to take her look up a notch. The style we went for was "ecclectic chic." At first, I wanted to get to know her a little better and find out what she felt comfortable with. As I mentioned in the segment, I didn't want her to feel like she was wearing a costume, so I really focused on dressing her body type and bringing out her sparkling personality through her clothes. At first, Emily was a little reluctant to try new pieces. A cute grey tee with tassles even made her say that it reminded her of her mother's rug! It was all in good fun though, and I really enjoyed sharing some of my styling tips.

Emily wasn't totally keen on all the orange and brown in the dress, but I layered a gorgeous purple waterfall trench jacket on top to add an elegant layering piece. This jacket is actually from H&M's Conscious Collection, and is made of recycled fibres! The solid coloured jacket over a printed dress whittles her shape and makes this 5'10" lady look even taller! The dress is also the perfect shape for Emily, as it flares out in a subtle A-line skimming over her hips while showing off her waist - which was one of the features Emily wanted to highlight.

I love this leather catchall from Indigo, she can use it for change, her jewelry on her nightstand or to hold her glasses at night. mother's day gift ideas (1 of 4) 4. A gorgeous signature scent is an easy gift that can be picked up super last minute, but still really thoughtful. Moms (and significant others) are one of the few people in your life you can gift with a fragrance. My latest favourite is the new Marc by Marc Jacobs Blush collection. My favourite of these new releases is by far the Daisy Dream Blush scent which is intoxicatingly good! Florals are always a safe bet, and these aren't too overpowering... plus the bottles are adorable! marc jacobs daisy dream blush (2 of 2)
