DECK THE HOLS | 3 Jeanious Holiday Outfit Ideas

When DENIZEN from the Levi’s brand asked me to be their Canadian brand ambassador, I did a few celebratory lunges, then set out to test-drive their many styles of jeans. I've been super impressed by the fit and of course the $30 price point, and narrowed it down to a few favs along the way, including these sick black skinnies. My go-to pair of the moment? The DENIZEN Modern Straight in dark indigo. I call it the forgiving skinny, leg-hugging all the way down but with a friendly break at the ankle so you don't feel like you've been swallowed whole by your jeans. Blame it on the nog but I'm craving extra breathing room this season, aren't you?  

I've put together 3 cute outfit ideas for those of you searching for some denim inspiration over the hols. With the help of a few plaid pieces, a little faux fur and some winter-ready extras, you can don your denim everywhere (yes, even $30 denim), from downtime with your fam to a big New Year's bash. If you're at Target picking up last-minute things this week, wander through the DENIZEN racks and be sure to try on a pair or two while you're at it.

Off to write more cards (come on Canada Post, can we make this happen?), wrap some more gifts and speaking of nog, is 9:30 too early or can we just let that rule slide over the holidays? Yup, we are so on the same page.

Be back next week with more New Year's outfit inspiration. Until then, hope you have the merriest Christmas lovelies! xx

It's Time for...

It's that time of year where all things pretty and shiny come out to play;  The Christmas ornaments glow, the little lights twinkle and the champagne sparkles, making everything feel just a little more magical.  I love how Mulberry's Emma Hill unexpectedly topped a shiny, snow-sweeping maxi with a decidedly utilitarian anorak, keeping the whole look from dancing into OTT territory.   The brilliance of this Club Monaco dress?  Its ribbon belt is removable, so you can cinch the dress at the waist with any of your own skinny belts, and the shimmery fabric is seasonless, meaning you get to wear it all year long.  A good LBD will always be chic but a metallic maxi is way more fun, non?
