Toes in the Sand

I know I just recently wrote of taking risk with your wardrobe, but really, I can't (and don't expect you fashion girlies either) to be rainbows and unicorns everyday. While neutrals are just that, there are a couple of ways to keep this look current and young. 

clothing on model, shoes and handbags all available at felicity&fritz!

Here I've incorporated camels, mochas, sand, dusty roses and golds to create a warm palette that while it has little colour, makes an impact via texture and shine. Another way, of course, to wear your neutrals are to pair them with the seasons boldest jewel tones and neon pigments.

Nella Bella Beautiful

Nella Bella is one of the newest handbag line additions to felicity&fritz. The line not only is fashionable (and fashionably eco-friendly, I may add) but is also functional. A Canadian brand, Nella Bella is an inspired urban chic line that has honed in on accentuating the individual fashion girlies style by showing classic pieces with a twist. 

Watch the video to see all the ways you can wear Nella Bella's London Bag
(you'll wonder why you don't have one already in your closet!)

All of the shown styles are now available at felicity&fritz!!

Let Your Fashion Make You Smile

All too often, we fashion girls (or at least this one writing) gets into a fashion rut. You know, ongoing rotation of easy basics - loose knits, soft cardigans/pullovers (often stolen from my brother), ultra skinny jeans and and the same jewelry day after day.

While I blame this Canadian winter for my rut, it truly is a cop out. The true culprit to this rut for us fashion girlies (yes, I am taking the liberty to claim the reason is the same for all you reading) is simply ease. I'm sorry but when I have an ongoing Get-Done List revolving around family, school and work I'm not really thinking about having fun with my wardrobe. (NOTE: This does not mean I am walking around looking like a slob. I would just define my look as of late as...fashionably boring. Yeah. That works.)

So, I vote that we all vow to have more fun with our wardrobes. Mix patterns you would normally think of as absurd, trade your ivory cashmere sweater for one in neon pink, accessorize with different pieces everyday. Rather than coast along, counteract those mundane days with fashion that makes you smile inside and out.

Friday Fixations

Dear Fashion Girls, this week has been one of those that just seems to drag on. It may have something to do with the fact that I have, in essence, been forced to remain immobile due to aggravating my illiotibial band (just google it, the explanation is too long). What seems to have gotten me through however, are my little daily obsessions that make the pain (seriously, I am in pain) of a long work week fade into the background.

My good friend Sam (and our own felicity&fritz girl) has started a blog documenting her love of food. I've already made this recipe of hers and loved it! 

Swiss Classic Surfin Dark Chocolate. Just a little bit of wonderful.

Vogue.com  is where you fashion girls should be going to drool (a fashionable drool however) 

over the seasons greatest additions. 

I've been tweeting fashion girls and I would love if you were following me!

Happy Friday!
