I love French label Maje for its dedication to relaxed cool-girl chic. With Alexa Chung as their brand ambassador, the contemporary women’s wear line exudes trendy nonchalance aligned with the likes of Vanessa Bruno, Sandro, and Isabel Marant Etoile. For spring, Brit It-Girl Chung took on a styling role with the label, entitled ‘Majed by Alexa.’ The collaboration presented a contest where three lucky winners were outfitted by the icon and featured on the site, and Maje also created a pop-up shop boasting Chung’s style picks. The three-time BFA British Style Icon winner was a natural fit for the label – her affinity to tomboy tailoring, offset by girl-next-door innocence strikes an easy balance between English maverick and English rose – think leather lace up boots, cuffed trousers and boyfriend blazers paired with soft feminine pieces like lace shorts, or silk blouses to create a bohemian rocker aesthetic. Review my picks that will help you achieve this French meets English love affair look.
1. Embroidered Lace Top, $340 USD
2. Leather Sandals, $480 USD
3. Open Back Lace Blouse, $235 USD
4. Cuffed Trousers, $285 USD
5. Black Mini Shorts, $235 USD
6. Combo High-Low Dress, $425 USD
Maje is available at The Bay

Every morning, before my workday can officially begin, I must spend a few minutes reading the latest from one of my most important fashion go-to website – style.com! The online bible for everything and anything fashion, their daily blog has inspired me to do so many things from writing to searching for the latest addition to my over crammed closet.
As I was browsing around, I found out about the latest coffee table book to hit the shelves by Financial Times’ fashion editor, Vanessa Friedman. The author decided to write about the world of Pucci and what makes this Italian fashion house timeless to this very day. Many writers have taken this route and have become inspired to create reads both textually and visually appealing. The history behind some of the most famous fashion brands has always been a coffee table favourite including Louis Vuitton: Art, Fashion and Architecture – a praise to one of the most recognized labels in the industry. The purpose of these books is to attract and entertain guests while creating some excellent conversation topics all at the same time.
By far, my absolute favourite has been Influence by Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. The fashion world’s most stylish twins added yet another to their many titles on top of actresses, designers and most recently, authors. Unlike other designers, these ladies decided to focus not on their countless brands but on the people who have influenced them the most by focusing on other industry talents such as Diane von Furstenberg.
The list goes on when it comes to these books so check out your closest store or library and grab some joe while you’re at it as well!

It is hard to say what makes a style icon great, but it is more than just their clothes, or their hair, or the shoes on their feet. It is a certain je ne sais quoi that elevates their everyday outfits and makes them stand out. Solange Knowles is the perfect example of a style icon that can take all the patterns and colour in the world and make it her own. Check out some of my favourite Solange looks and get inspired!

In response to last week’s post on west coast style, I’ve scoured the racks to find pieces that fit the aesthetic of the east coast girl. While west coasters thrive on undone glamour, our eastern counterparts are heavy on crisp classics. Looks are slightly more tailored, and put together – take a cue from style maven Olivia Palermo who never seems to get it wrong (don’t miss her video for the Outnet here.) While she exudes easy style, not unlike California girls Nicole Richie or Kate Bosworth, she focuses on timeless essentials like Breton striped blouses, tailored trenches, A-line skirts and stiletto pumps. Easterners always seem to have a more cosmopolitan air about them compared to west coast girls, a more structured look, and it shows head-to-toe.
1. Anthropologie Piped Peplum Blouse, $88
2. Club Monaco Alice Double-Knit Dress, $150
3. Zara Blazer with Box Shoulder, $159
4. Club Monaco Striped Cotton Shell, $40
5. Michael Kors Oversized Watch, $294, available at Shopbop
6. J. Crew Tartine Purse, $180
7. Babaton Alvin Shorts, $110, Aritzia
8. Zara Leather Court Shoe, $100

When spring comes around, we usually picture a bright, pastel wardrobe, but this year spring colours are singing a different tune. The colour of choice this year? Black. That’s right, you heard me, the dark shade usually associated with the wintery months is crossing over into our Spring/Summer season. Not only is this colour choice a statement, but I think adding dark touches during the sunny season is ultra chic. Many lines are beginning to feature dark sultry looks for this season, so jumping on the black bandwagon is really simple. Try a black leather vest over a white lace dress, the contrast of feminine colours with a bit of a hard edge will have all heads turning in your direction.
1. Bebe Devin Studded Sling Back, $159
2. Topshop Cut Out Crop Top, $22
3. Topshop Aztec Jersey Taper Trouser, $28
4. Miu Miu Bow Embellished Bandeau Swimsuit, $245, available at net-a-porter
5. H&M Satin Jumpsuit, $80
6. H&M Leather Skirt with Quilting, $149

There is nothing more refreshing than pastels in the spring time. The two almost seem to go hand in hand with one another. 2013 has proven itself to be the year of ultra-fem clothing. Everything from florals to lace and pastels have been coming out of the woodwork and sneaking into our wardrobes. Luckily for us, pastel clothing works with virtually every skin tone and has been seen on almost every runway for the Spring/Summer season. Another great thing about pastels is that you can easily mix and match for a soft colour blocking effect. Try pairing some skinny jeans in a light hue with a pastel top then mix in different shades with your accessories; you’ll be rocking springs freshest trend in no time.

St. Patrick’s Day is always a fun occasion to celebrate and luckily this year will be very easy to coordinate outfits because the pantone colour of the season is Emerald Green. Neon colours are huge this season, but I’m excited to see this shade outshining others, because year after year colours, such as pink, blue and yellow, take the limelight. With that said, this weekend is a perfect opportunity to shop and focus on this beautiful shade to try on and stand out from the ‘default’ colours everyone else is wearing! I think it’s no ‘luck’ the Irish are so stylish; fashion is being individual and standing out from the crowd with confidence, beautiful colours that often get overlooked is a perfect palette to do just that. St. Paddy’s day will be a fun day/night as usual, but when you’re holding your green beer this year, hold it in style!
