Fashion Spring Summer

Spring Fashion

Even though the weather keeps playing games with us up here in Toronto, I am excited to start wear warm weather clothes again (without fear of sudden wind/rain bouts). I love the looks that I’ve been seeing in stores lately, especially casual relaxed pieces mixed with more structured ones. I have a pretty neutral coloured wardrobe, so I’ve been trying to find many of the pieces (or similar ones) as I show below to blend in with what I already have.

I love the relaxed yet chic look of this lightweight cotton tunic ($65) paired with pink twill capris ($59) and cork wedges ($99), and I could definitely see myself wearing this on both weekends and to work. These pieces are from the newly launched L.L. Bean Signature line with designer Alex Carleton. When asked about the collection, Carleton says: “These pieces are rooted in classic American sportswear, and can be interpreted in many ways. There are great basics, plus unique items that work in a broad range of closets. So I think it’s for people who lead versatile lifestyles. It’s not just town, it’s not just country. It can be both…We looked for archive items that seemed especially relevant today. Our initial approach was to reinterpret those items – putting new twists on vintage ideas. From there it grew into creating brand-new products, but we’re always using the archives for inspiration, even when we’re making things that are new”. Definitely a step up from their chinos and plaid shirts (which still have a place in my heart too), I’m looking forward to seeing what else they bring into this new line

Here is another simple, classic, yet versatile look from the new L.L. Bean Signature line. The comfort and luxury of a navy cashmere cardigan ($139) gets an upgrade with chain link gold brooches ($55) and slim leg stretch denim jeans ($65). And the bonus is that you can wear the sweater all year long, layering it will a nice fitted shirts in the colder months.

How fantastic is the simplicity and classic cut of this white shift dress ($130) from Banana Republic? The feminine ruffle jacket ($130), studded belt ($50) and knockout heels really complete the outfit.

What I really like about this shift dress is that you can also transition it into Summer with a light colourful scarf. I’m not one of those people who throws clothes out often (Grade A Pack Rat), so I always have to look for pieces that are versatile for all season, and are going to hold up to more than one year.

Although I usually don’t shop at American Eagle, I’m a huge fan of the boho look and it looks like they have embraced it this year. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect embroidered peasant shirt this year, and after seeing this on their website, I may have to go try this one out. And I love how they keep the look relaxed by pairing the shirt ($20) with super comfy slouchy skinny jeans ($50) and a worn brown leather belt ($30) and braided brown leather flip flips ($30).

What looks have you been digging this Spring?

    I’m ready to update out of the polarfleece I’ve been wearing all winter, but still have some skin covered! I’ve been sucked in by lightweight sweaters in fresh colors (definitely going to check out LL Bean now!) and new jeans…love spring!
