Colour Schemes

Now choosing colours for your wedding is probably one of the most important things you will do upon planning your wedding! Making it especially hard when you have so many wonderful colour pallets to chose from. That is why I decided one day to go through pinterest and save any colour schemes that I adored, and with out even knowing it I had chosen the same image 3 times. And the rest was history. Never in a million years would i have thought pink would be in my colours for my wedding but it just so happens that i decided to go with these colours,antique pink, champagne, and a creamy white. Going along with my Marie Antoinette inspired theme for the days events. I will be the Queen france loved and adored before they found out she spent all there money. 

Let me know what you think about this elegant and delicate colour pallet.

Favourite looks from the EMA awards 2014

Ariana Grande definitely gave everyone a big surprise letting her hair down on the red carpet in a long navy blue gown featuring key-hole cutouts. I think this is just what this rising pop star needed, a fresh and european inspired look. This gown highlights all of her attributes keeping it elegant with just a little touch of sass. We think the stylists hit the nail on the head with this look. As well as her second outfit a little more scandalous then the first however still more mature then what we are used to seeing her in. This lace bralette with the high waisted satin asymmetric and lace skirt is very in fashion at the moment, as us ourselves have designed similar looks. You just cant go wrong with black lace. 

     

As for Kiesza wearing, what looks like multi a coloured feathered mini dress is one look where we are sitting on the fence as to if we love it or not. It did make it onto the best dressed list and it is Fendi but with the hair and the tanned heels all were seeing is Tucan Sam. It is a well suited dress for Kiesza and her style. As well as  the shape of the dress with the cut outs is quite flattering to her figure. Maybe it is just the colours used that is throwing us off. However it did make a splash on the red carpet and it did its job adding some excitement. I think you either love it or hate it all we know is Kiesza rocked it!

Project Runway Season 13 Finale

Being aspiring designers ourselves we love seeing anything that celebrates design and creativity. The show Project runway represents all of this. We have followed every season and were especially impressed with the last 4 designers of this season 13. Calling it from the beginning that Sean Kelly the clear winner. He had so many innovative yet still elegant and timeless designs almost always making a wow moment happen on the Runway. His collection was inspired and told a clear story from beginning to end although he did use a lot of fringe as to his now signature it looked so effortless and chic we would love to wear any and all of his pieces. We cant wait to see what he has to offer and what he does in the future. He shows that the american or any dream can come true moving to a new country and just going for it with nothing holding him back, only his confidence and expertise in his pocket.  

 Such a good finale episode the other collections were also amazing Amanda Valentine put on a great show with her one of a kind jewellery and long patterned dresses taking boho chic to the next level.

 

As for kini Zamora  one of our personal favourites also created a stunning collection but not as much as we hoped it would be although his pieces were constructed beautifully it just didn't have that X factor as some of his other pieces he had designed through out the season.

 As for Char Glover we feel like there was no real story or theme to her collection and she is still just starting to find her voice in fashion. 

 We just cant wait  for the next season of Project Runway always inspiring us and making us work even harder to achieve our goals in fashion.

Fall Inspirations

For this fall season we are very inspired by the hard and soft  trend that is very popular at the moment. Were loving the gold and black looks inspired by Gucci. They do a fabulous job of putting together black leather with gold details. We think it makes for a very classy chic look. With an outfit  like this can only make you feel one way and that is powerful. 

 
 
 

We are also fans of the large oversized sweaters paired with tight leggings leather skirts or tight fitted  jeans. This is everything we need as we get ready for another harsh Canadian winter and a not so cold sicilian one making it perfect for layering or wearing as is. Another inspiration of ours for this fall is Burberry who's collection is so warm cozy and elegant. We love the layered looks and use of beautifully coloured scarves and capes. We love that we are now not restricted to wear the classic black and darker colours for fall and winter but instead we can throw in these beautiful shades of blues and mix and match prints. 

Fall is definitely a beautiful time for fashion.
