I’m always inspired by Joe Zee’s posts for ELLE – he has an intuitive and witty approach to styling various occasions’ different ways. His outfits cover everything from baseball games, to first interviews or mom time, which got me thinking about how to style various activities for Summer. In the coming months, long weekends compose many of our mini escapes, and whether a weekend away means jetting to New York, Toronto, or Seattle, or hitting your country cottage or cabin, you will inevitably want to compose a look that meets the needs of your chosen locale. I’ve dreamed up two juxtaposing ensembles for two disparate trips – one for the sightseeing city vacation, and the other for country living. See my picks for each respective jaunt to ensure you are one happy camper, or happy city dweller.

Flapper girls adorned in embellished gowns to the nines, alongside rich vintage accessories, gallivanting with ease over some popped bubbly. Envision yourself amongst the party crowd, as the eye of the man of the hour himself, Gatsby. This coming Friday, May 10, it’s time to hold your own elaborate affair behind the screen, and join the talents of Leonardo Dicaprio, Carey Mulligan, Tobey Maguire, and Joel Edgerton as they recreate the classic novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gastby. The compelling tale unveils both love and tragedy, luring us to time travel back to wealth in the 20’s. Just when you thought your star gazed eyes couldn’t get any wider…it’s in 3D.
Costume designer, Catherine Martin, selected 40 stunning vintage Miu Miu and Prada cocktail designs from the time, which are on exhibition to the public at Prada flagship stores in New York, Tokyo and Shanghai until mid-July. Jewelry and headpieces were custom designed by the one company who best represents the films royal ora best, Tiffany & Co.
Here’s how to play a more formal version of dress up, to wear to a movie night out with your girlfriends, or a media screening party. Top one of them off with an elegant headpiece and Mary Jane pumps, and they’ll be more eyes on you than Leonardo (if that’s at all possible).

Alongside the trend of sporty-chic, came the recycled varsity jacket; yes, the same oversized, leather sleeved, monogrammed high school jacket. Originally worn by competitive athletic teams in the 90s, this jacket has unleashed itself from those set boundaries, and is no longer playing by the rules. Otherwise known as the “Letterman Jacket”, it’s simple shape and two-toned colouring is suitable for a variety of outfits, and fit for all body types. Pair it with a classic denim jean and white tee for an old school look down memory lane, or layer it over a lace dress for that “my boyfriend is team captain” look.
Stylish stars like Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna have been captured out sporting their varsity finds, and large retailers such as Topshop and American Apparel are making it their trademark jacket this season. What’s great about this jacket, is that your Dad may have kept his from when he was a big shot in the “good old days”, which you can then up cycle and flaunt a truly authentic vintage piece.
1. Topshop M Jersey Varsity Bomber Jacket, $70.23.
2. American Apparel Unisex Club Jacket with Leather Sleeves, $198.00.
3. Charlotte Russe French Terry Varsity Jacket, $26.99.
4. UNIF Studded Drop Out Varsity Jacket, $249.00, Available at Urban Outfitters.
5. River Island Grey Rihanna Leather Sleeve Varsity Jacket, $187.29.
6. Karl Jack Tweed and Faux Leather Varsity Jacket, $239.00, Available at Net-a-Porter.

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.

Lucite, a clear plastic material, has been seen walking its way up into even the top designers runway shows, ranking it one of the biggest trends for 2013. From clutches and platforms, to bangles and belts, lucite is being used on and throughout just about every accent piece you could think of! It’s minimalistic and elegant, contributing a sense of glamour and class to even the most understated look. The transparency is enduring, without baring it all. If you’re not comfortable flaunting a solely lucite piece, exposing more than a glimpse of your rather personal side, opt for pieces with more subdued see-through shapes or accents. The classic black pump with a lucite heel is the perfect combination of femininity and edge, or a lucite boot worn with frilled ankle socks would be sassy and sweet. Regardless of whether you venture out of your comfort zone or not, this trend brings the freshness of spring offering a versatile lightness.

As we head into April and warmer temperatures grace us with their presence, we’re feeling motivated and determined to finally crawl out of our winter blues. Spring is the time of the year for growth and rebirth, and that doesn’t just include within our environment; it means us too! Ladies, it’s time to let that skin breathe and opt for shorter lengths to shed some light on your skin.
The great thing about this must-have spring trend is it’s short yet reasonable length that will even be appropriate for the office! The short suit offers a classic tailored look with a modern edge, especially when paired up with other common trends for spring such as bold graphics, pastels, or jewel tones! You can also mix and match tops and bottoms, or create a more eccentric look by mixing contrasting textures.
