I don’t know what I was thinking, but I think it turned out okay. This is one of those outfits where you literally grab whatever is closest to you — sometimes even blindly — put it on obviously, and run out the door. The next step is to pray that you look okay. Sound all too familiar?

It happens to me every now and then, but most of the time I have to pray REALLY hard that my outfit will suddenly change into something a bit more decent and well put together. Although this outfit is a mix of things from all over the spectrum in color, pattern and texture, it’s a mix that works for me. That’s my attempt at being eclectic. How’d I do?

Exactly one week to go before I’m off to Asia! It’s a bit surreal and I’m totally not prepared — there’s still so much to do, and seriously, so little time. April’s always a busy month with Easter (aka my 2nd birthday), and all the other real birthdays going on.

On another note, I went back to black. My hair that is. What do you think? I’ve gotten mixed opinions that it makes me look younger or makes me look older and oh-so-sophistique. I’m at that age where I’m not sure if I want to look older or younger. Problem.

One last note, I wanted to send some — birthday love to Kaz SVP – from Flagsh1p Lifestyle Inc. Wishing you a fabulous day and an amazing year. :)

Wear Else Spring Fashion Show

How’s your Monday so far? Mine was great. I had the day off. Sucker.

Wear Else Spring 2012 Look Book

Last week I had the pleasure of being a guest at the Wear Else spring fashion show, benefiting BC Women’s Hospital & Health Centre Foundation.

If you’ve peeked into Wear Else before, you’ll know they have a collection of work, play and party clothes designed by today’s most sought-after designers. It’s literally a one stop wardrobe destination for the contemporary, sophisticated, and on trend woman. If you’ve never shopped at Wear Else, hop in and you’ll see pieces by Alice + Olivia, DVF, Eli Tahari, Free People, JBrand, Pink Tartan, Rebecca Minkoff, Tibi, M Missoni… and the list goes on.

As the gorgeous models strut down the purple runway, Wear Else president and CEO Zahra Mamdani revealed the new spring collection and touched on the popular trends and styles for this season. It was a casual show but there was definitely no shortage on style! Not to mention, Zahra is super stylish and so gorgeous!

Here’s a look at some of the work, play and party outfits from the show:

I’m loving their bright colors, maxi dresses, color block pieces, florals and patterns! The spring collection is available online at WearElse.com, but they also have 3 beautiful locations – Oakridge, W. 4th, Park Royal – so you’re obviously going to pop in there when you’re in the area. Wear else would you go??

 Bauble Bar Azure Triad Collar Necklace

 Bauble Bar Tribal Mosaic Necklace

Bauble Bar Sky Rope Cuff

 

Happy Friday… the 13th!

I was getting my (browser) shop on this morning on one of my favorite jewelry sites — Bauble Bar — and ended up falling in love with these pieces… so I thought I’d share. I love turquoise and gold pairings. The bold blue hues are so beautifully accented by gold that it creates the perfect look: fresh, chic and heart stopping.

I was just about the purchase the Azure Triad Collar Necklace. It was in my cart. And I was checking out… when it suddenly became out of stock! :( It’s very similar to the House of Harlow Resin Necklace which I’ve been eyeing for some time, but trendier and at an amazing price. I’m a bit heartbroken. But I’m just as in love with the beautiful contrasting colors in the Tribal Mosaic Necklace! Mmmm….

stay fresh with mint

Green, sea foam, mint! I can’t get enough of it. The trend this season is all about color, and this whimsical, cool, mint green is totally a must have. I’ve been going into stores and secretly touching, smelling, rubbing minty freshness all over myself. So if you’ve been doing this for the last month, it’s okay. You’re not alone. If you haven’t, I suggest you head to the nearest mall, stat. Mint green is going fast. And if you’re not fortunate enough to get a taste, you may have to head into the grocery store to… get your fix. I wonder what rubbing mint leaves on your face is like.

With mint hues seriously in every store and line, it’s easy to incorporate into your summer wardrobe. And if you’re usually not the type to wear color, mint is really just a very subtle change! Think of this cool color like a modification on your usual neutrals — wear it in place of beiges, whites and tans. My favorites in  mint clothing are skinnies and loose tops. Pair them with completely casual pieces like a t-shirt or denim jeans, and you’ll still look amazingly fresh and chic!

How are you staying minty fresh this season?

XO,

bunnie
