Style

If you’re not a local to Alberta, then let me introduce you to one of the biggest festivals in all of Canada.  Today is the first day of the Calgary Stampede where the majority of Calgarians will be joining in on many festivities over the next ten days.  With so much to see and do, its pretty essential to have some great outfits!  If you need some inspiration, I’ve put together a selection of seven complete looks that can be easily found at Calgary’s Chinook Center…

Okay, so it’s official…retro is in! But It’s not just high-waisted mom jeans, and crop tops.  We’re talking slip dresses, overalls, chunky heels, bold colours, loud prints and so much more. But I can say a new favourite of mine is the flared denim. Throwing on these Denim Forum flare jeans was actually really fun.  They give off that young, sexy, flirty vibe that’s seriously 70’s.   But there are a few things to remember when giving the flare a go…

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…

To be honest, I can’t really believe that I’m on this topic.  If you had told me years ago that people would be wearing the belt bag again and that it would be considered a stylish touch to your outfit, I would have thought you were insane!!  For most of my life, this look was reserved for that “nerdy” uncle, matched with cargo shorts and socks and sandals…

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…

Over the years I have gone through different phases when it comes to the type of makeup I wear as well has how much I wear.  Of course my day to day life typically affects this routine as well. However, there are a select few items that I have found to work great for numerous day to evening looks…

AUTUMN . . . The time for new beginnings! I have always seen fall as the time of year for a fresh start. This can be in so many different aspects of your life, whether it’s a new job, a move to a new place or simply little changes. All I know is that when summer ends I begin to find myself getting restless…
