Nothing is more exciting about the arrival of Spring then pulling out all the rosy coloured pieces that perfectly match the gorgeous blossoming trees! Easy, breezy and fun – that is definitely our mission lately. It keeps life fun and care-free, or at least as care-free as is possible. But how can you not be in fluttering mood when these fairytale like trees are around you, a breeze is blowing and the sun in shining? #LovingSpring
Who said plaid was just for lumberjacks and hipsters? Anything can be truly worn by anyone, as long as you feel inspired enough to try it. Inspiration for this look came from a single chorus in a very infamous song by our favourite Beyoncé. I been on, now who gon’ take me down? Okay maybe it wasn’t from the chorus but actually from the visuals, but music is so powerful that it can really resonate with you, no?
Sometimes when you’re cold and it supposed to be springtime, there is no need to fight or defer – just give in and rock a huge sweater with your go-to fur stole. Or, at least thats what we do here at the KC Headquarters!
Is it official yet? Is it finally Spring? Are we allowed to rock open toed shoes and an easy breezy kimono instead of chunky boots and three layers of coats? Can you tell we love our warmer temperatures? We think in a previous life, we were probably rainforest flowers or some other exotic creature who thrives in warm humid conditions. Its a beautiful Saturday out there, what are you up to?
Have you also noticed the latest craze in handbags? The “micro” bag is exactly what it sounds like – your favourite shape of purse in a miniature version! Designers like Celine and Fendi have pioneered this trend for a few seasons, and have (inevitably) inspired many others. We found this amazing Coach “Mini-Bag” in the hottest Spring colour, white. Neutrals are this springs must wear “colours” and nothing goes with all your Spring looks like a fresh white bag, and micro at that!
Are you also hooked on the latest “fringe” trend? From the fashion runway to everyday streets, Valentino, Michael Kors, Mackage and Rebecca Minkoff are only a few names who have showed us how to “fringe it up”. Any simple look can instantly be transformed by adding a fringe bag or necklace. Fringe is fun and girly – it can just add that little bit of excitement to an outfit. For one who is a little more brave fringe jackets or skirts are also very fun and fashionable.
This is definitely one of my go-to casual looks. Boyfriend jeans paired with a blazer and to add some spice I pull out a hat and a pop-colour purse. The “boyfriend-trend” has been around for some time now, but I know for me it will stay long after the “trend” has died. It is not only comfortable, it is also a style statement when no one is expecting you to look put together. Of course there is many interpretations of the “boyfriend-trend” and this is only one of my renditions. Whats your favourite “Casual Friday” look?
“Internationally sourced” is no understatement, our Stylists come from two different continents, and have elected a third continent (North America) as their primary residence right now. And you know how they say you eventually pick up and blend into the spaces you choose to live? Well I think we are representing “Cow Town” pretty well here. Have you ever seen a more stylish cowgirl?
We all need to have the piece in our closet that makes us happy, makes us want to dance, and reminds us to never take “fashion” too seriously – it should be fun, make us feel good, and help us to transform ourselves to the be the best version of ourselves for the world. And you would dance too if after the many months of winter, the sun was shining once again!
There’s no better footwear option to run around New York in then an elevated platform loafer – especially ones from one of our newest favourite footwear designers Shelly’s London! And did we mention we scored these on sale whilst in Toronto last week? Double win.
