Bad Bitch look in Las Vegas

988 Concept helped make my summer 2019 a hot girl summer. Sophia, the owner of the boutique (had a storefront at the time) really helped me curate key looks for my Las Vegas trip and for everyday wear over the summer. 988 Concept carries unique items in limited quantities, so if you have your eye on anything in particular you need to snap it up. At this very moment I hesitated on a lovely fringe cardigan and it's no longer on the site. What I really like about 988 Concept is that the customer service is superb, they have great quality clothes and pieces you’ll love forever.



On Style with Dorcas Olasumbo

in , , ,

As our chat went on we discovered that we went to high schools down the street from each other in Scarborough, we had similar experiences growing up with African parents, and continued to talk about style that we love and hate and shared some shops we frequent (COS, Aritzia, Simmons, Massimo Dutti etc.). Also exploring some new brands on the 4th floor at the Bay (do not sleep on those sales on the 4th floor!).

We never found out who that couple in the picture was but it was a great way to finish off a great conversion!

Its not hot but sometimes it’s sunny

in

Is it summer in Toronto? It’s 10 degrees celsius and cold enough where even my tights couldn’t save me! I’m really wondering what kind of summer we’re going to have? Shorts - no, short dresses - definitely not, swimming - in what lake? The only saving grace we have is that while it's not hot it will definitely be sunny! Which means we can always wear our sunglasses (I mean it's sunny in the dead of winter too).

This season anything goes when it comes to sunglasses, do you want a Grace Jones-esque cat-eye, the tiny nose percher, or are you feeling the FENTY hater blockers? I’m enjoying the variety of sunglasses in different shapes and styles this season and this variety makes me feel like buying a pair for every mood. Sunglasses are a great accessory whether they are from Forever21 or Celine and they make me feel like it's summer even if the weather isn’t cooperating.

Here are some of my favourite styles (click on the pictures for the links):
