FIFTY-SEVEN/ OFW S/S'14 day three

I didn't have a ton of time to get ready for the third day of Ottawa Fashion Week. I just threw on my favourite black dress, my favourite blazer, my favourite scarf and my go-to leggings, the glittery converse were thrown on at the very end just to jazz up the look. It's a well known fact that I'm most comfortable in all black and leopard print pair with gold accessories and a bold lip - I felt very in my element. Laura on the other hand feels more at ease in an eccentric vintage jumpsuit, I feel like we balanced each other out.

Once again, we arrived fashionably late and only caught the last two shows. It seems as though it's our tradition to do so. The last two shows were Prophetik, which was a phenomenal showing, and an Ottawa Celebrity walk. The celebrity walk included local celebs that displayed pieces from designers that showed throughout the weekend. All in all it was a good way to end Ottawa fashion Week(end).

THIRTY-SEVEN/ stay gold

I normally get other people to take my pictures, but couldn't wait a second longer to get shots of this amazing sparkly gold sweater I picked up at Lane Bryant last weekend. This piece is quickly becoming a favourite in my closet. I love how oversized it is, the colour is to die for and the bit of shimmer all adds a lot to any outfit. Also the fact that it was only ten dollars adds to its appeal as well. I'm a sucker for black and brown together so I paired it with my leopard print Minnetonka moccasins, gold accessories and this fabulous tan leather purse with an ancient Egyptian scene. I can tell this is going to be a go-to outfit for me this spring.
