Hint of Sparkle

What's that? A flower growing out of my head? That's right. Ha. I forgot to move that little fella pre-photo, or at least the first one. This week for Stylelist Canada our assignment was to style a sparkly look for every day, and I admit, while I had grand aspirations of doing a lovely wintry outfit post outside, the consistent temperature of -20 here in Ottawa had me completely chickening out, and going for an indoor option instead. 

So what is my sparkly pick? I admit, I'm a bit of a sucker for a sequin, or really anything that glitters, let's be honest. As soon as I saw this Smart Set tank on their website a few months ago, I knew it had to be mine. I love a peter pan collar = always, and a sequin-emblazoned one? Must-have. I love that it's just a hint of sparkle, a little understated, but definitely still glimmering brightly. And I also love that the modesty of this top makes it perfect for work, but that the sparkling sequins take it from day to night.

Sequins for Day

Sweatshirt: Joe Fresh Blouse: J. Crew Heels: Aldo Bag: Kate Spade Jeans: Paige
Polish: Essie's Cashmere Bathrobe Lipstick: Joe Fresh Cherry

Anyone who knows me at all will tell you I'm a bit of a magpie when it comes to fashion - I always love glitter, sequins and sparkle, no matter the occasion. I definitely do wear sequins for day, but to tone down the glitz for a casual look, I like to keep the rest of my ensemble fairly simple.

I'm currently loving this sequined sweatshirt from Joe Fresh (birthday gift ideas anyone?). I'd style it simply over a white buttondown, with skinny jeans, heels, and a colourful bag (like this glorious one from Kate Spade I've been dreaming about for days).

Fluff and Stuff

Yesterday after work (payday!) I made the lengthy trek via the lovely Winnipeg transit system to one of the local Joe Fresh locations here in the city - something I have not done in a while, namely because all the superstores in this city are far away from anything and everything and are a pain to get to if you are car-less like I am. In any case, it was worth the trip because the above fluffy faux fur jacket of cozy fabulousness that I have been lusting after since it walked the runway is now mine. Yes, be jealous. It's fantastic.

What I was unable to find at this particular store, however, was this sequined sweater, which I have also been searching high and low for. I am hopeful that I will be able to track it down somewhere. Perhaps I will find it in Ottawa, where I am soon to be heading... excitement.

I have an inkling though,  that it would most likely be available at the Joe Fresh flagship store that finally opened (outside a grocery store no less!) in Vancouver. Might any of you lovely Vancouver ladies check it out for me? If you find that sequined sweater and send it to me, I will love you forever. And will send you paypal $$ to cover it. Not even kidding.
