Montreal Fashion Jobs – The Bold, Bright and Beautiful

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

How to spot me on the beach this summer? I will be rocking some serious earrings in an obnoxious size and loud colour. There is something about sunlight that makes us want to trade in those delicate jewels for the bold, bright and beautiful. Luckily, this season is all about big, colourful accessories to pump up your summer ensemble. The tribal trend is on point right now, so look out for statement pieces with unique shapes, bold textures and pops of colour. These babies are on my shopping list:

1, 2. One of my favourite summer looks is a simple updo with killer earrings. Do a modern take with bold geometric shapes. House of Harlow Gold Tribal Earrings ($57), at The Trend Boutique and Melody Ehsani Aztec Masai Earrings ($126), at Karmaloop.

3,4. Be the talk of the town with a statement necklace. Just be sure to pull out all the stops with some bright colour. Melody Ehsani Aztec Masai Necklace ($104), at Karmaloop and Kenneth Jay Lane Necklace ($80), at Net-A-Porter.

5, 6. Experiment with textures if you are rocking a tribal-inspired bracelet. Coloured stones and vintage finishes add a classic and unique touch. House of Harlow Tribal Cuff ($220), at Revolve Clothing and Aldo Bracelet ($15).

Toronto Fashion Jobs – Cropped and Cool

If you need one more reason to hit the gym this spring, it’s the comeback of the crop top. We all have good reason to be wary of this trend; however, current styles offer looser, free flowing shapes that are easy to wear and allow for layering. Cropped blouses look effortlessly cool when paired with high-waisted trousers, this season’s maxi skirt or worn on top of a fitted dress. Try a cropped top with a boyfriend blazer for a look that is a little more covered up, but still very sexy. No six-pack required.

1, 2. A clean, simple crop top with a boxy or loose fit looks effortless and chic. Look for textures that allow the garment to fall appropriately on the body. American Apparel Silk Loose Crop Tee (Approx. $45) and Free People Suede Crop Tank (Approx. $150).

3, 4. Cropped blouses in sheer fabrics allow for comfort and ultimate versatility. To make this style more day-appropriate, layer the blouse with a solid tank underneath. Switch to a bustier for a night out on the town. ASOS Chiffon Crop Top (Approx. $50) and Cheap Monday Tamara Top (Approx. $55), at Karmaloop.

5, 6. Unique features like fringe, lace, and back detailing give crop tops a modern feel. Topshop Crochet Fringe Crop Top (Approx. $60) and Ikat Print Crop Tee (Approx. $38), at Nasty Gal.
