This year, I decided I wanted to have some fun showcasing my favourite looks for the Holiday season so I opted to shoot on location at 4 locations around downtown Toronto with the talented Ashley from AmmaPhotography. It turned out being a really chilly day and evening, but we had so much fun and it was the perfect way to get excited for the Holidays.
I hope you enjoy scrolling through the looks and don’t forget to check out the shopable items. Most are available right now and ready to be placed on your Holiday wish list!
Winter Skating at Nathan Phillip Square
Plaid Shirt(Similar) – Tommy Hilfiger/ Sweater – Le Chateau/ Toque. Socks. Bag – Roots Canada/ Boots – c/0 Cougar Boots
This cozy and casual outfit is one perfect for an afternoon skate at Nathan Phillip Square. I’m in a toque any chance I get, so this was no exception. I don’t always feel like being in a large jacket, especially while doing activities, so layering becomes my best friend and a faux fur vest just ties it all together nicely! These Cougar Boots are the smartest decision I made last winter and each day we have snow in Toronto, I get excited to throw them on. Comfortable and with a slight wedge, these are my go-to winter activity boots!
Holiday Shopping at Toronto Eaton Centre
Jacket (Similar) – Calvin Klein at Hudson’s Bay/ Leather pants.bag – Danier/ Sweater – Le Chateau/ Hat (Similar)- H&M/ Shoes (Similar) – Zara
It’s hard to pass up window shopping when the best retailers deck their windows in the most festive displays, so I always prepare myself for an indoor/outdoor shopping day. On that specific afternoon, the snow was hitting Toronto pretty hard for the first time this year, so my hat and coat came in handy. I went on a little shopping spree at Danier a few weeks ago and I managed to pick up these leather pants and plum coloured purse. They have actually become my go to pieces ever since!
Office Holiday Party on Wellington
Cape – Sentaler/ Skirt– M for Mendocino/ Shirt – Joe Fresh/ Shoes (Similar) – Call it Spring/ Black Cape – Cloakroom/ Clutch – Danier
I remember being introduced to the brand Sentaler when I first mentioned it here about a year ago and have loved so many pieces since. Designer, Bojana Sentaler has continued to design beautiful outerwear pieces and this cape was the perfect addition to my office holiday party look. I kept the look classic with black and white and had that festive touch with the lace pencil skirt from M for Mendocino. I think a bow tie can add so much flare to an outfit, so I loved how it looks with my high bun and red lipstick touches.
Evening Holiday Party at The Beverly Hotel
Jacket– Sentaler/ Faux Fur Stoli (Similar). Earrings – Le Chateau/ Clutch – Minling Pan Studio/ Heels – Aldo Shoes/
When the evenings hit this time of year, it can get pretty chilly, so while I prefer to show off my legs, you better believe I am fully covered up top. This lace dress is an old Topshop love of mine. It’s perfect for that curvier girl like myself and allows full coverage but you still can’t help but feel sexy in it. If you plan a Holiday evening out and don’t plan to be outside for long, I love this black Alpaca hair collar and trim cape from Sentaler. It’s the ideal outerwear piece that you won’t have to compromise your outfit for. The faux fur stoli and drop earrings from Le Chateau worked effortlessly to give me that old Hollywood glamour look. To finish off this look, these gold trim pumps from Aldo are incredibly comfortable to dance the night away in and this gorgeous clutch from Minling Pan Studio’s MIN brand was so glamorous and really complimented the whole look.

I can’t stop swooning over these photos. I need boots from look #1 in my life. Still stylish, warm as hell looking AND WATERPROOF. Dear Lord. I must find!
All of these looks are simply amazing, but the last one is a definite winner. That is a wonderful colour that compliments your complexion in the most amazing way. That dress is so hot! Damn, girl!
