Hello Spring…is that you? The gorgeous weather we’ve been having the last few days is a bit of a tease that another sunny season is just around the corner.  So I couldn’t help myself but to cave and pull out some of my favourite warm-weather essentials.  My denim mini-skirt is definitely a top item on that list. The mini-skirt has been a popular item for quite some time now.  But how it’s been worn is another story…

BonLook is a Canadian company based out of  Montreal, Quebec but they do have numerous boutiques all over Canada. BonLook’s mission is to offer frames that are designed to “highlight natural beauty and individuality with fashion-forward silhouettes and bold colours and prints.” But there’s definitely a lot more that really sold me on this brand…

For the last few years, I’ve been doing a lot of my shopping online.  I’m constantly on the lookout for new, trendy boutiques from all over the world. Yes, it can be a bit of a risk at times, as sizing is always the number one concern but I’ve found if you’re very diligent with taking your proper measurements and following the size guide lines posted, you shouldn’t have any problems.

When I say lingerie, I don’t necessarily mean corsets and stockings.  Lingerie can be just your daily bras and underwear.  But unfortunately, all undergarments are not necessarily given the recognition in women’s wardrobes that they should. Because your entire outfit is literally built on what’s underneath it, well-fitted, quality lingerie can actually make or break the look…

If you have spent much time here on Simply Tira then I’m sure you have noticed a select few brands that I have repeatedly linked in many of my posts…specifically the fashion Boutique Aritzia. There are many reasons as to why I continually return to specific labels, so I would love to share a bit more about this with you.

To this day many style influences come from top fashion icons such as Audrey Hepburn and her famous little black dress or menswear tailoring made popular by Coco Chanel. Here I am going to list a few key vintage style rules from these past generations that we can really use and learn from…

Simple, Neutral, Clean – the three words that come to mind when I think about my favourite styles. I am a very firm believer in finding a specific look or niche that compliments who we are as a personand then reflecting off that. When it comes to fashion and shopping, it can be very overwhelming if you don’t have a clear bases to follow…
