It seems that the 1990s are everywhere right now.
What’s old is new again and all that. The last concert of the summer, I took it to another level when I attended the Toronto date of Aqua, Prozzak and Whigfield’s Rewind Tour at Echo Beach.
It was a Saturday night so I now have had the delightful experience of hearing Whigfield’s famous song, Saturday Night, on a Saturday night!
I couldn’t go back in time without the look to match it, now could I?
Why yes, that is a little bit Britney influenced 🙂
Although the September air was little chilly, I rocked this baby blue Gingham checkered two piece. The concert was on a beach so I was damn well going to wear a beach outfit, 16° temperatures or not!
As it was a ‘90s bra look the bra, from additionElle was peekaboo-ing out the front to really add to the fun, sexy feel of the outfit.
The jelly shoes were purchased in Malaysia. You can read about those shoes and that trip here. The white purse belt was from Forever21.
Topping off the look was the Pom Pom accessories in the hair. They were re-purposed clip-on shoe embellishments from Aldo’s end of season sales.
The look proved to be a real head turner, which all kinds of folks asking for a photo with Brit during the evening.
All and all it was a fun, throwback night with a fun retro look to match. With ‘90s retro becoming more and more popular you should shop your closet to find the gems ready to make a re-appearance!

Lumberjack plaid.
Everyone and their dog (literally) seems to have this staple pattern in their closet.
Except me (and my dog). 
Well, I’ve subsequently fixed that – thanks to Old Navy!
Not only is this a perfect “Christmas red” … I added an extra nod to an Xmas-y vibe to this outfit by adding my Jack tights from Torrid.
You know Jack…Jack Skellington … king of Halloween Town, who discovers Christmas Town, you know him right? –> The Nightmare Before Christmas
OK… so I took this casual lumberjack plaid and paired it with a leather skirt and a statement necklace with green booties….
Take a closer look at the jewels on my Instagram page – oh, Follow Me!
Odd combos – maybe.
Fab results – YAASSS!
How I Got The Look: Booties, Payless; Jack tights, Torrid; Purse, Kate Spade; Skirt, F21+; Lumberjack plaid, Old Navy; Jewellery, BitterSweet
Hope this look helped give you some style inspiration for your upcoming Christmas holidays.
And with that I leave you with the following greeting Facebook reminded me I wrote 3-years ago … 🙂 ❤

You really can’t ever dress properly to keep it cute and combat the weather you’ve got to endure in The6ix these days. A few weeks ago I was invited to a birthday party — a Joggers Soca Winter Boat Cruise upon the Empress of Canada.
The boat wasn’t as um, Empress-like as its name implied… but the event did have 2 floors of dancing DJ’d fun to be had… AND apparently everyone’s ticket came with food (which they ran out of before our birthday loving toop could get any)
Those ominous clouds above held off for the most part … buuuut there was a sudden 7-min storm that totally wrecked some parts of the city. Including the party guests on the top deck of the boat…like US!
Once that was behind us, it was lit on the top deck as we floated around the lake catching views and busting moves!
Below are the many looks that took place as the weather and dancing lead to removal of layers and drowned-wet-rat hair. 😀
There were surprisingly a ton of people on this boat that were “blasts from my past” … gotta love those unexpected catch-ups of faces you haven’t seen in more than 10-15 years!
The day was pretty great dancing, drinking and floating with the birthday girl and the team that love her.
Now that you know what I did, curious about what I wore to this Soca Joggers Winter Boat Cruise?
Y’all know I’m the biggest sports fan … and dressing “sporty” is a piece of cake for me. (**written dripping in sarcasm** ) #gosports
I really didn’t want to have to be worried about a jacket while on this boat. So layers was the name of the game for outfit strategy!
I found this cropped TFC sweatshirt from Winners a few days AFTER having attended my very first soccer game. So I was thrilled to have an excuse to wear this top somewhere where I’d stand out more than among crowded stands of similarly dressed fans.
I wore a simple ribbed black tank underneath a plain white tee to give me warmth layers.
My bottoms are my very first pair of jeaggings (jean leggings) … in black…rolled up cuz I’m short. With my wedge high-top black kicks and red mini-crossbody that’s just large enough for my cellphone, money, sunnies and lipgloss. Keeping me free to ‘jump up’ for all the soca fete ‘big chune’ goodness. **insert loud horn noise here**
How I Got The Look: TFC cropped hoodie, Winners; Round sunnies, Public Butter; Thin Cross-body purse, Necessities; Jeggings, Penningtons; High-top kicks, NineWest (layers of black tank and white tee both from Old Navy)
Would you take a Winter Boat Cruise around the Toronto Harbour?
What did you think of my outfit strategy for this event?

Here we go – Post #2 in our December long series!!!
PPMeow! has teamed-up with StyleCassentials to bring you another collaboration featuring some of the Winter Trends for 2016 Holiday Season!!!
Today’s we’re gonna show you how to make GOLD apart of your Winter wardrobe for holiday happens friends! 😉 
You know when you see something online and you bond with it instantly. ❤
Buuuuut its out of stock or “coming soon”. And your heart breaks and continues to yearn for that coveted piece?
Yah…well that was exactly what happened when I met the Sequin Bonded Pique Dress by Eloquii. So, I put my name on their waiting list …. And then one fateful day, it arrived at my door. Wheeee!!
And everything was happiness, kittens and rainbows again!!! ❤
This sculpted skirt styled with a flash of gold sequins along the skirt just adds the WOW factor to this oh-so comfortable to wear, with its fit and flare nature.
If this dress is “Red Carpet refinement” – as it was seen worn by gold medalist Michelle Carter to the 68th Emmy Awards – then it certainly was gonna turn some heads at a Company Holiday Party!!
This pleated shiny gold skirt is just gorgeous. And that perfect present purse
Cassie is just screaming holiday ready in this outfit!!!
Head over to Style Cassentials for all the details on her take on this Winter Trend: Gold. Or her Instagram here. Or visit her Facebook page here.
Have you tried Eloquii’s petites?
BOTH Cassie and I are rocking pieces from their petite line … you gotta check them out friends!
Stay tuned every THURSDAY, all December long, to see how we’ve put our own unique twists on popular Winter Trends this year.
We hope they bring you some fashion inspiration to try yourself this month!

We’re at it today!!! PPMeow! has teamed-up with StyleCassentials to bring you another collaboration featuring some of the Winter Trends for 2016 Holiday Season!!!
Today’s we’re gonna show you how to rock the Fur trend in your Winter wardrobe for a party or two. 😉
You may remember this dress – THE Valentina Dress, by Kiyonna. Click here to see what I mean.
It is one of my favourites to wear, but I wear it so rarely due to its boobalicious-curve-hugging nature…
I mean: HAPPY HOLIDAYS, indeed! Right? 😉
Buuuuuuuuuut, it’s not a dress that I can just bring out to family functions and holiday parties among the many married couples
Sooo by adding a fur collar not only tames the amount of cleavage on display, but it adds a wintery touch to your outfit.
I found this gorgeous fox fur collar at a vintage shop in Montreal earlier this year. It has come in handy many times so far to amp up a look, keep the girls at bay or even just take a plain outfit to the next level. Visit my Instagram to see what I mean.
Cassie styled an all-black-everything look, with leather and pleats pulling everything together with this great fur jacket!
Head over to Style Cassentials for all the details on Cassie’s winter trend of fur in her outfit. Or her Instagram here. Or visit her Facebook page here.
Stay tuned every THURSDAY, all December long, to see how we’ve put our own unique twists on popular Winter Trends this year.

My office wear series continues with more shameless bathroom selfies and corporate business casual looks that I made happen last week.
I’m hoping they’ll bring you some inspiration for your stylish selves this week 🙂
I’ve yet to turn over my closet from summer to winter. And I’m doing everything I can to avoid wearing pantyhose until absolutely necessary. Enter knee-high knit socks.
What I’m loving about this look is how easy it is, but looks like I spent time coordinating colours and graphic prints. Pssst….I didn’t!
Check my Instagram for more pics and to find out how I got this outfit inspiration in the first place 😉
This sandy camel colour sweater is an XL from JoeFresh. Totally fell in love with the adorable and detailed neckline.
I struggled a little to find a way to wear this sweater that WASN’T a basic black bottom.
And then I remembered this batik printed skirts I picked up from The Central Market in KL, Malaysia ….
Do you remember this doggie sweatshirt I picked up recently?
I totally didn’t need it. It was a total impulse buy. But I managed to take it to the office on my first “casual Friday” #ootd in a long, long time.
It just so happened that I had the paw-fect earring set to match too! Click here to read more about these PAWs and how to get yourself a pair.There you have it friends. A few of my real life “outfit of the day” from last week.

Hey, hey, hey….it’s Monday! And you know what that means – NEW BLOGPOST!
I’ve been battling my iPhone4s photo taking space… yes, it’s an old eff’ing phone…but it doesn’t have a cracked screen and I can’t bring myself to buy a new one just yet 😛
But I’m committed to recapping my outfits of the week (when I remember to take a snap) into a weekly blogpost for you in a fun series called: Last Week, Today.
I got to be a California Girl last week – check out all the fun things I did on Instagram!!!
And that’s when I got to go shopping at Unique Vintage in LA….who carry lovely reproduction pieces with sizes going all the way up to 4x!
Gatsby Glam is something I struggle with – so when I found this lovely on the sale rack, I had to try it on and hope for the best. It was a bit too small for me, but still lovely none the less. Pardon my lack of slip.
Whist in LA last week, I found this drappy black jumpsuit from a shop on Venice Beach. I really wasn’t sure it would work for me, but it was such a different shape than anything I’ve styled before, that I decided to bring it home with me 🙂
I made it “office appropriate” by pairing it with a hot pink blazer, wide belt and lace-up flats. You likee?
My last look from last week is this great Tatyana bicycle print dress with the greatest capped sleeves ever!
I wore it with the same wide belt I wore earlier that week with the drappy jumpsuit to tame the fun print for corporate life. 🙂
There you have it friends – what I wore last week – hope it provided some fashion inspiration for you to try yourself.
Follow me on Instagram for all my life+style moments as they happen 😉
