EASY AT HOME GLOSS TREATMENT TO REVIVE BLONDE HAIR

Not sure about you but I have gotten to the point in self-isolation where my hair could use a little more love. It's been looking a little brassy lately and has been feeling dry so I decided to order an at-home gloss treatment kit from Lac and Co, and boy am I happy with the results.

The gloss treatment is perfect for anyone looking to revive their color and add some shine back into their hair. It also comes with a Virtue Labs Restorative Treatment Hair Mask so you can also take advantage of some extra hydration after you finish the treatment.

Not only does my hair smell amazing, but my colour is looking beautiful once more! On top of that, it also feels super soft, hydrated, and looking very shiny.

If you are looking for something to do at home that will give your locks a boost I definitely recommend checking this treatment out!

SPRING SUMMER 2020 TREND REPORT

* Please Note - Some links in this post may be affiliate links *

So it feels a little funny to be writing a spring/summer trend report while it is literally snowing outside in Toronto but my IG fam wanted it so here we are!

So just to show you how excited I am about this seasons upcoming trends, I already started to style and shoot spring outfits for the gram. We had one nice weekend of weather with above zero temperatures and I was out, gallivanting around Toronto with Adam shooting looks while my toes froze off. LOL Isn’t fashion fun! No, but seriously I am so excited and I can’t wait to share my trend report with you!

COLOUR MY WORLD

Neon Highlighter - So looks like people aren’t ready to shake off this trend quiet yet so feel free to keep those neon purchases from the last two years in your spring summer wardrobe. Last year I told myself that I wasn’t going to give in to this trend and that only lasted about 3 months because I went to Vegas in June and found a simple neon slip skirt at Forever 21 that I thought would be perfect for my trip the week prior. I think the only reason why I really gave into the skirt was because the silhouette was so simple and flattering that when done right, there is no denying that it can look great!

Rainbow Sorbet - Hello Neo Mint! I am so excited for this colour trend and have already started to find ways to incorporate new sorbet coloured pieces into my wardrobe. So far I’ve been able to find a beautiful baby blue/mint suite from Zara (pictured above) with the most amazing power shoulder! Yaaasss I am living for this colour palette this spring/summer!

Whites - It never goes out of style! What can I Say!? LOL Just give it to me head to toe - Thanks!

Anti Anxiety Blue - aka Classic Blue, the colour of the year! Yea, it’s here to stay, like ALL YEAR, so get used to it. Hahaha. When did I get so funny?! Wow, this colour really works on changing your mood!


FABRIC TRENDS

Embroidery, Crochet and Tassels - Hells yea! I will be all over this Fabric trend this upcoming spring/summer season just as I was last year when Zimmermann came out with that stunning dress collection. Remember that dress I wore last year at Pena Palace in Portugal? Well, I’m planning for it to make many more appearances this upcoming seasons!

Paisley and Psychedelic 60’s-70’s Prints
- It’s time to let the bohemian goddess inside you out! But at the same time, when it comes to this fabric/trend, fabric prints seem to run the gamut from ‘hippie protesting in aboriginal motifs’ to ‘classic paisley prints’ to ‘groovy large flower wallpaper’. If you are going for the latter I would recommend going for a smaller/tighter silhouette as it can have the adverse effect you want and give you an unflattering appearance.

Polka Dots - it ain’t called a classic for nothing. Polka dot pieces are definitely a timeless investment which means you can feel free to spend little more on this trend if you decide to partake this season. Currently, I am seeing a lot of polkadot dresses, tops and skirts and if you are into feminine silhouettes then I would say, make the investment. If there are pieces that are usually a little out of your price range but are nice - rest assured you’ll wear it multiple times and get your moneys worth, so I say go for it!


SILHOUETTES

Bra’s, Bandeau’s, Tube-tops, and Corsets - Can you say, ‘Add To Cart’!? This is going to be another trend I am totally here for this upcoming seasons. Everything goes, wearing just a bra under a blazer with suiting, tube tops as a stand alone or over a blouse, same with corsets, bralettes, bras and bandeaus. I am also seeing detail accents as well this season like wiring or stitching to give the appearance of a bra silhouette. Believe me when I say this silhouette trend is gong to be a big one this season!

Hems Lines - From Daisy Dukes to Bermuda Short Suiting - So, does this mean biker shorts are out? *Insert I don’t know emoji. What I am seeing is ‘uber high cut off short shorts’ all the way to ‘just above the knee pant suiting’ like Julia Roberts in Pretty Women! Except if I am being honest, I’m not sure how I feel about this trend yet and personally already feel a little standoffish about it. I think it will probably take me awhile to start incorporating this look into my wardrobe. Maybe if they are yellow, high wasted and with a simple white square line tank top, white Hermes flip flips and a black headband and black belt. Might sound super preppy but a great look none the less for summer in Europe.

Vesting? Who Am I, Serena Van Der Woodsen?! - HAHA so I totally bought a beautiful beaded vest when I was in university because I saw Blake Lively wear one with jeans and simple tank on Gossip Girl #TheOriginalInfluencer. I guess after a decade trends really do start to come around again and vests/waist coats are making a comeback! I’m seeing people wear them almost like tight tops and I’ve also seen them appear in suiting on the runway.


CLOTHING DETAILS

Puffy Sleeves - This is one trend that I am so excited is making another appearance after last years appearance in my trend report. Puffy sleeves can be very flattering and are a great way to make your waist appear smaller! Just be weary though that not all puff sleeve are the same and some will sit lower making your arms look wider, when instead you want them to sit higher and make your shoulders look wider versus your arms!

Necklines - Victorian, Square, and Wide 70’s Collars - A great way to add a little more style to your outfits this season is to really play with your necklines! Everything from Victorian collars made out of lace or embroidery are super in as well as square necklines - remember the tube top’s and barrettes we were talking about earlier - and super wide collars reminiscent of the 70’s - I’m thinking Johnny Depp in Blow but you gotta make it work for you…

High Slits - It’s time to let those legs out once again for the world to see this spring/summer and I can’t deny any garnet detail that provides the appearance of a longer, slimmer looking leg!

Drawstring Details - this trend detail will be seen more in the ‘urban-esk’ and athletic/leisure clothing. I am seeing this a lot in athletic gear, sporty silhouettes - mostly on jackets


ACCESSORY TRENDS

Heels that Wrap Around The Ankles - I have been seeing a lot of girls taper their pants off recently using the string of their heels which I have been finding really cool. Unfortunately, I have yet to invest in a pair of heels with a long wrapping ankle cord but in addition to this trend reappearing this season I am also seeing singular chain ankle details on heels.

Chunky Jewelry - Large hoops, statement necklaces, chunky chains are all in this season and I have been eyeing this Jenny Bird chain recently and I may just make the jump for it! Ohhh I am excited!

Rope Belts! - I’ve seen quite a few of them on the spring/summer runway and they seem to be the new trendy way of adding some extra, equestrian? nautical? bohemian? - let’s just run with it, detail to your outfit.

Chunky Sandals/Platforms - Seeing a lot of chunky heels and platforms this season but haven’t decided if I’m into it yet. I think it isn’t feminine enough for my style personally but who know, I’ve said I wouldn’t wear something before and then I bought a neon skirt for my trip to Vegas.

Large Bags - The bigger the better when it comes to this trend. Just make sure you don’t over pack your purse like I am guilty of - your back will hate you!
