I think leggings are a must have in every ladies wardrobe.  They are super easy to put on and they are so comfortable to wear!  They also look amazing when layered with the right pieces.  My favorite way to wear a pair of leggings is with a long tunic top.  Since a tunic top is so long and is usually loose fitting wearing something more fitted on the bottom balances the look perfectly!  I also adore wearing leggings with a shorter dress too! That looks so sweet and gives a little extra coverage when you feel you need it!

 

The leggings I am wearing from April Cornell are simply the best!  Get 20% off with the promo code below! (See them all here - Canada - click here,  USA - click here).  The details on them are absolutely so unique as I have never seen a pair like them!  The adorable fabric patches sewn on these leggings are a sampling of some of April Cornell's favorite fabrics of the season!   These leggings are made from 96% cotton and 4% spandex so they are made with a quality material and they also provide good coverage so nothing shows through!  I really like the fit of these leggings too, they are not skin tight like some leggings.  They fit perfectly making them look more like a fitted pant which is ideal!    I am a very petite person so I personally had these leggings hemmed a bit just to compliment my frame better. The design is still absolutely perfect!   So if you are a tall person these leggings will work for you as well so don't worry!

 

 

These patch style leggings also come in a blue color as well which are just as fabulous!  I think I might need a pair of those too as I love these ones so much! LOL!  Check out all the fabulous leggings that April Cornell offers! Trust me you will love them all!  (See them all here - Canada - click here,  USA - click here)

The perfect summer dress is something we all want!  To me the perfect dress is one that has a beautiful print, keeps me cool in the heat and of course it makes me feel amazing while wearing it! 

 

 

I found my perfect summer dress at April Cornell (check it out here Canada - click here, USA - click here).  This dress is spectacular and it comes in all sizes up to plus size!!  I adore the gingham print and I love a cute fruit print so when they are both together on one dress that makes a seriously fabulous dress!  Take a closer look at the fabric in some of my close up photos, the print is so sweet!  I love that this dress is made with 100% cotton making it so comfortable and it keeps me nice and cool in the hot weather!  I know most people love the midi length in a dress and this is a very lovely length.  I am petite so it's a little longer on me than it would be on most people but it would look amazing on a taller person as well.   Oh and did I mention it has POCKETS!  Who doesn't love pockets?! I think the large front pockets are better than most as they add an actual design feature to the dress and they can hold a lot too!  I can't get enough of this dress, I honestly want to wear it everyday!

One company that has been in my life since I was a little girl has been April Cornell!  April Cornell was always there, I can remember my mom having her gorgeous linens around the house.  The linens were stunning, full of color and had such beautiful patterns on them.  I always loved those linens the best, trust me even as child I knew those linens were special as my mom would save up for them.  As I got older I discovered April Cornell clothing and fell completely in love! Those same colors and patterns on the linens were now in clothing form!  I feel amazing wearing these lovely pieces and sometimes they even bring back a sweet memory or two!

Every season April Cornell makes the most gorgeous clothing and accessories (and of course linens too!)  I always love what this company comes up with! Everything is so creative and they only use the best materials!  This season I couldn't resist this stunning coverup / jacket as it's so stunning.   (See it here - Canada - click here,  USA - click here)  It is put together with the perfect mix of lace, crochet, patterned fabric and of course adorable pockets!  Seriously the patch pockets really did it for me!  I don't know if I have ever loved a coverup more than this one!   It's a little oversized but that gives this piece it's charm!  It looks amazing over a simple pair of pants or jeans and would look amazing over a little sweet summer dress as well!   The lightweight lace is perfect for every season.  Even in this heat wave we are having this cardigan is just fantastic to layer over anything to add that something special!

One of my favorite things about blogging is sharing some of my favorite brands, some which I have been wearing for years.  One of those brands is C'est Moi.  C'est Moi (meaning 'It's Me' in French) is a Canadian company established in 1989 based in Toronto, Ontario.  (Don't worry you can get their products in the USA as well!)  They offer classic and trendy pieces in all sizes (regular and plus)!   You can find C'est Moi online (Canada - click here,  USA - click here) but I personally discovered them years ago in a local trendy boutique!  The first piece I bought made by C'est Moi was a classic black long sleeve fitted top.  I couldn't believe how luxurious it felt as it was made from bamboo!   From there I couldn't stop buying all the C'est Moi bamboo products! 

 

Not until more recently I discovered they make not only the classic fitted bamboo pieces but they also make quite trendy pieces!  Pieces I discovered the offered were oversized knits, cardigans, pretty tops and statement tops with unique details, athleisure wear including: leggings, jogger pants, sports bralettes and fun loose fitting bamboo styles!  

 

In my blog post I am styling 4 of C'est Moi's latest pieces for spring and summer and I am so impressed! 

 

 

 

Bamboo

Of course I couldn't do a blog post without wearing a few pieces from the bamboo line!  Especially since the bamboo line is what made me fall in love with C'est Moi in the first place!  These bamboo pieces are absolutely stunning!  One of my favorite things their bamboo clothing is how the fabric keeps you cool in the summer and warm in the winter!  Definitely a bonus as it's been so hot here lately and these pieces are fantastic for keeping me cool!  Bamboo is the most eco-friendly fabric on the planet and it's a natural UV protectant! Can't get much better than that!  Both of these pieces I am styling are more than 95% bamboo and the rest is spandex just to give the fabric some stretch.  

 

 

 

Bamboo t shirt dress - The t shirt dress I am wearing is such a cute piece!  I absolutely adore the soft lilac color but it also comes in a variety of colors too!  I chose to belt the dress as I love to accessorize but it can be worn loose and looks just as perfect!  This dress has just the cutest front pocket detail so you can carry a few small things if you would like.  I must say this dress is so soft and comfy that it feels like wearing pajamas.  I felt amazing in it!  I can just throw this dress on and I am ready to go out looking so put together!  The high low detail at the hem is quite neat too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Bamboo scoop neck top - This bamboo top is a must have in my closet!  It's the softest t shirt I have ever worn!  It is semi fitted and looks amazing dressed up or dressed down!  I chose to wear it here tucked into a bold sequin skirt for a dressy look but I have worn it with just a simple pair of capri pants and it looks just as awesome.  I love that this top is so great to wear for both casual and even for a special event!  Don't forget that it has amazing breathability so you will stay perfectly cool in the summer while looking fantastic!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fun tops

 

T shirt with mesh back - The minute I saw this mesh back t shirt I knew I needed to have it!  I absolutely love that the front of this top looks like a sweet simple cotton t shirt and then you see the mesh back detail and it takes it to a whole different level!  I really love that you can cinch in the back to be as tight as you would like to give it some shape.   I don't often show too much skin so I styled this top with a nude colored top underneath.  This gives the illusion of skin without showing any and this also hides your bra as well.  I think layering this top with a white tank or a fun color underneath would be neat too.  I decided to wear this top with just simple capri pants when I went out just to make the top the star of the show!   By adding some fun accessories I made the outfit perfect for me!  I can't wait to wear this top with a fun skirt as well!  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Knitwear

 

Side slit patterned cardigan - This year I been obsessed with long cardigans!  I absolutely love to layer my outfits and in the spring and summer finding a lightweight cardigan is a must!  This cardigan is my go to piece!  I love the open pattern and the nude color makes it great to layer over anything.   As you can see in my photos this cardigan can be worn a couple of different ways.  Since it has high side slits you can either wear the cardigan long and loose over your outfit or you can tie it loosely in the front to give it a different look.   I think this cardigan looks amazing over one of my favorite C'est Moi bamboo tops that I am wearing!  I can't wait to wear this cardigan over all my summer dresses as well!

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope you love C'est Moi products as much as I do!

I cannot resist cute shoes! Can you?!  For awhile now I have been seeing Hot Chocolate Design shoes online or through Instagram posts and I have loved pretty much every pair I have seen! They have the cutest designs!  Most of them are super quirky and that really interests me!  What I mean by quirky is that most of the pairs have mismatched designs on each foot.  The designs go together but they are just a little bit different!  I decided I needed a pair for myself!  The pair I decided on is this adorable bee pattern flat (click here to see them) called the Chocolaticas Honey.  This pair just made me smile immediately!  I do love golden yellow and I adore bees (although sometimes I am scared of them, LOL)!

 

The minute I got them in the mail I was impressed!  The packaging is shaped like a milk carton!  That is just so sweet and very unique!  The bottom of the package easily opens and the shoes slide out.  You can keep the cute carton to store your shoes in if you want!

 

These shoes are made completely out of fabric except for the rubber sole.  So just know that before you buy them.  I personally love that as they are super soft and comfortable!  I would say the width is a wider width so if you have a wide foot this shoe would work for you.  Also make sure to check the size chart before you order to make sure you get the right size.  Hot Chocolate Design gives you exact measurements!  I would recommend to order your regular shoe size or even size down.  Do not size up as you will find them too big.  The shoes do not come in half sizes so if you are a half size, size down.

 

Once I put the shoes on I loved them! How could I not?! Just looking down at my feet made me smile!  Of course I couldn't resist making my whole outfit bee themed!  I could just as easily wear them with all black and I would still stand out as everyone would be looking at my shoes!

 

 

Too see all the fun designs that Hot Chocolate Design offers including fun patterns like Bacon and Eggs, Watermelon, Popcorn, Floral prints and even the World Map: click here too see them   (This will take you to the Canadian site but you can select your own Country at the top right corner of the web page)
