Grey and Cranberry OOTD

Time to take pictures with the snow while it's still here! The weather forecast is predicting a rainy Christmas so I thought I should take advantage of the pretty snow while I could. Please observe the staple ice covered tree branches as well. Today was spent with my family doing a few last minute Christmas things and eating 5 more cupcakes.  I decided, yet again, to be comfy so I just wore a classic knit sweater and jeans. My jeans are from H&M and the sweater is from Fairweather (I also have it in a number of other shades). For makeup I used my Avon Perfect Color Palette in Cool which has a gorgeous range of aubergine eye shadows and cool pink blushes. My hair did its own thing today after I took down from a french braid, so I kind of just went with it. Definitely thinking about changing up the colour soon, as much as I love my ombre I think it is time for a change. Suggestions?   xo Jess Twitter: @jessicadonna_ Youtube: Jessica Kinnari ...

Fab February: Victoria's Secret Model Inspired Fashion

Victoria's Secret Models are looked to for fashion inspiration by thousands of women all  over the world. So today's Fab February is a few fashion ideas to take from the ladies at Victoria's Secret that will match your Victoria's Secret Style hair from yesterday. 1. Wear Slim Fitting Pants . Choose either skinny leg or slim cut pants in dark and classic shades. Jeggings are way more flattering than usual jeans and they hug your curves and don't make it look like you have "tree trunk" legs. Not to mention they are ten times more comfortable than regular denim. 2. Pick Solid Neutral Colours . Choosing solid coloured tops will streamline your figure and make you appear longer and leaner. They also create an interchangeable wardrobe, and take the guessing out of which patterns to pick. 3. Wear Heels . Heels lengthen you, they lift your bum, and make you look instantly thinner (the exact reasons why French women wear them everyday). When looking for ...

Winter Style Basics

I realize that, especially in Canada, winter has been in full swing for the past 4 months, but let's be in the mindset that it is almost spring! And for the month of February we can resort to a few basic clothing choices to keep us warm and sane. These clothing items are the ones that get me through the last bit of winter by keeping me warm, dry, and stylish at the same time. No need to plan out your outfit you can pick any of these items and throw them on together. Here are my top late winter style basics that will do all the styling for you: 1. Slim Black and/or Grey Pants . Pack your jeans away for the month of February and grab your favourite pair of comfortable black or grey pants. They can be any material or size, my favourite pair are made of a wool like material and slightly loose. Black and grey pants can be paired with any outfit, and are versatile winter colours. 2. Knit Sweaters. These are available everywhere and now are all on sale. They come in different knits, co...

Best Dressed at The Screen Actor's Guild Awards

Yay! It's another best dressed post. This past weekend was the Screen Actor's Guild Awards,and everyone looked stunning. Here are my favourite clothing picks from the red carpet: 1. Amy Adams. She looks amazing in this stunning shade of blue, and she is also definitely going on my fitness inspiration list. 2.Isla Fisher. I must say if she was channeling her inner Marilyn then she should do it more often. She looked stunning in her cream satin v-neck gown. It showed off her curves perfectly,as well as perfectly accented her hair. 3. Jared Leto. Not only can rock the long hair, but he can rock the red carpet looking sharp and sophisticated. 4. Lupita Nyong'o. Turquoise is definitely her colour. With matching eye makeup she gave a lesson on how to go matchy-matchy the right way. 5. Mayim Bialik. This by far the best lace overlay dress I have ever seen, with the lavendar and then black underlay, this is just perfection. And so is Mayim Bialik. Those are my top ...

Dressing for Your Body Type: Hourglass

If you have an hourglass shape, you are the perfect balance between a pear or apple shaped body type. You have a defined waist with equal bust and hips. When choosing outfits, look for clothes that accentuate your even proportions and your waist. Don't wear pieces that weigh down your upper or lower body. Styles that flatter "hourglass" shapes: Fitted dresses. Pick one in a bold colour or fabric, and pair it with a blazer for a night out. Short and tailored jackets. Jacket that cut or cinch at the waist will draw attention to it. Sweaters or casual clothes with a little bit of fitting. This way you can be casual and still show off your figure. For winter or fall coats, go for wrap style coats, or fit and flare. Pick most coats in a dark or neutral colour, but have one statement coat in a bold colour like cobalt. Slim V-Necked shirts or dresses. The slim v will lengthen your upper body, accentuate your bust, as well as keep you proportioned. Pair a bright v-n...
