Fall Outfit Of The Day

   It's been Fall in Toronto for a couple weeks now, but the weather has not been too bad. At least not as bad as I imagined it would be considering the disastrous summer we had that comprised of mainly clouds and low temperatures. Although summer in Toronto was not the ideal summer most would have preferred, I figured at least there is Fall to look forward to, because I love dressing for Fall weather. Tights, layering, light scarfs- I love it all. 

  For today's outfit of the day I decided to go for a more casual chic look.  The nautical mid length shirt I am wearing is from Banana Republic and I placed a green utility jacket from Aritzia on top. I then placed a statement necklace from Top Shop on to help dress up the outfit. I love this necklace because it turns any simple outfit into something much more dressy and chic. The chelsea boots I am wearing are from Kate & Mel and my boyfriend jeans are from Primark. See more looks of this outfit below.

Essie Nail Polish: Watermelon

  Before we say goodbye to summer dresses, ripped shorts and green leaves, lets just bring out bright nail polish for one last hurrah. I know most people are searching the nail polish lines for their new Fall collections, but as a nail polish devotee and connoisseur I cannot pass up on a bubbly bright, slap in your face pink polish. Is it wrong to sometimes want to wear a pop of color on my nails that screams summer and patio drinks? I think not.

  I am not claiming that bright colours become extinct the moment leaves change from green to an orange-yellow shade, but rather highlighting that there is a tendency to wear deeper darker colors in the Fall.

  So rather than writing about the best nail polish color that will go great with your fall utility jacket, I have decided to write about a bright pink polish that I am wearing, cause occasionally I do that. The colour donned on my nails today is an Essie nail polish in the color Watermelon.

 Essie's Watermelon is a hot pink color that gives off a nice sheen on the nails. The color is similar to an OPI nail polish that I have called Your Such A Kabuki Queen, which is probably why I was initially attracted to the color when I picked it up. After applying a swatch of Watermelon to a piece of tape, I immediately feel for this nail polish color. I really like the vibrancy of this polish and I find that the color is so pigmented that one could get away with only applying one coat of polish, even though most people usually apply two coats to their nails.

  This is a great color for all skin complexions and if you a fan of bright colors you will definitely enjoy wearing Watermelon on your nails.

Highlights Of My Week: Shopping, YouTube & Food!

   Every week is always different from the previous week. Some weeks are busier than others, but there are always highlights in my week that I enjoy sharing with you all. This week I ventured onto YouTube to provide a homemade recipe to create caramel and chocolate covered apples. The recipe is extremely easy to make and is perfect for Halloween which is just around the corner. To view the video click here.

   With World Mastercard Fashion Week taking place this week in Toronto, there were plenty of events and designer sales taking place around the city. One of these events was the Catwalk 2 Closet sample sale that carried designer brands for half the price. Honestly, I feel like when there is a sale, a tiny meter goes off and it allows me to detect bargain deals. Near or far, I always find my way, but my wallet may be a bit pinched in the end.

   At the Catwalk 2 Closet sale although there was a lot of clothing I spent a lot of time browsing through the lovely jewelry that vendors were selling. One of the vendors that stood out was Dystynct Boutique, which focuses on carrying vintage pieces. I really like that Dystynct carries unique pieces that you can't find everywhere; hence the name Dystynct.

  I ended my week by dining at one of my favourite Indian restaurants in Toronto called Indian Palace. The food is delicious, aromatic and spicy. If you are a fan of spicy food, I recommend the Chicken Vindaloo, but be sure not to ask them to make it extra spicy or else you may end up downing a few cups of water as I have done in the past. Let's just say I learned my lesson and will not ask for extra chilli peppers.  Overall the food is great and I highly recommend having a visit if your in the mood for some Indian flavours.
