Canadian Fall: Joe Fresh

Two weeks ago I shared some of my fall picks inspired by Zoya's NYFW 2012 Designer collection.  I thought I would continue sharing some of my fall picks this time from some of my favorite Canadian brands.  So over the next week I will highlight each of their new fall collections.  First up is a brand that you all know I love, Joe Fresh!  As usual their collection is full of colorful pieces at affordable prices that are easy to mix and match.  For this season it's all about retro prints, stripes and color blocking.  I'll definitely be picking up some of these pieces soon especially that sequin sleeve shirt and the cable crewneck sweater which reminds me of the J. Crew Honeycomb sweater that I missed out on!  And don't forget to check out their site for coupons :)

Summer Work Wear

It's been awhile since my last post and I know summer is more than half over but better late than never right ;)

This summer has been ridiculously hot, 30+ everyday!  And as someone who walks to work it has been a challenge to put together work outfits for the summer.  So I thought I'd share some of my summer work wear tips that have helped me cope with the weather :)

• Lightweight and breathable fabrics (silk, cotton etc.)
• Loose dresses/skirts
• Tanks/sleeveless tops
• + Don't forget a cardigan for the air conditioned office!

Here are some of my picks:

1. Equipment Sleeveless Signature Blouse  2. Wilfred Sabine dress (printed versions on sale, 1, 2, 3, 4)  3. Zara Lace Dress  4. Forever 21 Essential Circle Skirt  5. Ann Taylor Striped Sleeveless shirt  6. H&M Cardigan  7. Elizabeth and James Yumi Top

And remember dress below from this post?  I'm so glad I bought it as I've been wearing it on repeat!  It's perfect for this hot weather :)

What's your go-to summer work outfit?
