Trend I'm Loving: Cropped Sweaters

Working in retail obviously exposes me to a lot of new fashion all the time.  This season I've seen a ton of cropped sweaters (both in thicker and thinner materials) and love the many ways that you can style this trend.  These sweaters can be dressed up or down by layer pieces underneath such as a sheer tank top with boyfriend jeans, or you can wear this piece on it's own with a high waisted circle skirt. I've created some looks on polyvore to show the many stylish uses for this trendy piece.

2015 Resolutions

1. Read one novel a month
2. Save more, spend less!
3. By the years end have a job related to the field I want to work in
4. Get down to a size 4 dress
5. Do something new each month
6. Explore more of Toronto (and attend Pride this year!)
7. Start planning for 2016 trip to South America
8. Post on my blog once a week
9. Catch up on the news every morning

Fall Nail Polishes

Today I'm posting about my favourite fall nail polish colours. I haven't really been following nail colour trends for the season so I am not sure whether or not these are fashion appropriate-- regardless I am in love with them. I haven't been doing many designs lately (I work at a clothing store and opening the packages of clothing tends to ruin my nails quickly) and instead I've been reaching for these 4 staple colours:

1. OPI's 'Uh-Oh Roll Down the Window'

2.  OPI's 'Get in the Espresso Lane'

3. Essie's 'School of Hard Rocks'

4. Essie's 'Bordeaux'

A little end of the weekend humour...
