Had the pleasure of attending prom hosted by NYX Cosmetics held at a lovely venue on Queen St E in Toronto.  For the look, I did not want to go with a traditional style dress so instead I opted for a top + skirt combo for that two piece effect. Paired a Diane von Furstenberg gold tiered skirt (circa 2010) with a simple black knit tank threaded with gold to compliment the skirt. Dior clutch and lace up sandals with some statement jewelry completed the look for NYX Prom.

The NYX Prom event was illuminated with pink lighting and decor. It was also equipped with photo booths, makeup stations and resinated with the baddest jams from the 90’s. Amongst some really vibrant makeup of special note were the pink makeup sponges. Ummm…how adorable!?

Zara Fall Essentials

Top, Blanket Scarf, Skirt, Laceup Flats, all Zara. Necklace, c/o Happiness Boutique. Sunnies, Foster Grant. Purse, Marc Jacobs. 

 
Picked up a few Zara fall essentials the other day. I got one of their plaid blanket scarves last year (here) and I lived in it all Autumn and Winter long. So I figured I may as well throw another one into the mix. What I love about this one? The dual print. Hence all neutral tones with leopard on onse side and the other striped. Of course the button front denim skirt and lace-up flats were a no brainer – must have this season.

Modern Victorian

Top, Winners. Bralette, Nasty Gal. Skirt, Asos. Heels (here). Purse, Marc Jacobs. Necklace, c/o Happiness Boutique. Sunnies, (here). 

 
One of the easiest ways to glam up a simple/casual outfit is to put a statement piece on it. For this look, I was inspired by the nouveau modern Victorian looks as seen on the FW 15/16 runways. As well as this pretty flower bouquet statement necklace from Happiness Boutique. The beautifully crafted flower pieces that adorn this necklace work well with the lace detailing of the top, while the gold and beige hues compliment the neutral colour scheme. And speaking of Fall, this look could easily transition into your Fall wardrobe by simply pairing it with a longer maxi skirt.

So how does wearing this necklace make me feel? Happy. And happiness is exactly what the Happiness Boutique delivers straight to your door in the form of a very cute package! When I first checked them out online I found an abundance of ultra feminine dresses and tops, amongst a vast selection of necklaces, earrings, and other jeweled details – and their playsuits are fab! Also, not only does Happiness Boutique offer free shipping, but they also have a customer reward program. Oh, and about the shipping; the necklace arrived before I even had a chance to head over to my mailbox to check on it. I swear it must have teleported or something. Check out their site for your own bit of happiness when you get a chance.

Enjoy your day! xo
