The Cutest Striped Jumpsuits!

Published on July 9, 2018 by Suburban Style FilesLeave a comment

Happy Monday everyone 🙂 I posted this jumpsuit on my Instagram a few weeks ago and got so many messages about it! I bought it when we were in Maui a couple of months ago because I had tried to pack my suitcase super light and quickly bored with everything I had brought… LOL! Does this happen to anyone else? I loved the colours and the cut out and knot details. It is super easy to wear and can be dressed down like I am in these pictures or easily dressed up with a pair of heels.

The Cutest Red Pants!

Published on June 4, 2018June 4, 2018 by Suburban Style FilesLeave a comment

I think it is safe to say by now that I am a huge fan of colour! I definitely went through a stage where I was trying to be a little more understated and a large portion of my closet was all black, but ultimately that just didn’t last. I can’t help but be drawn to bright, bold colours and super fun prints. I had to stay true to myself and my own sense of style! When I saw these pants I had to have them. First and foremost, I am a dress lover. So I guess for me personally, if I am going to buy pants they aren’t going to be ordinary! I think these fall into the fun category… LOL

They are super easy to dress up or down. I decided to wear them with a simple tank and heels. I’m 5 foot 7 inches and they were long enough to wear with a 4 inch heel. I would say they are true to size or if you are in between, then size down!

I always think this print has such a playful and retro vibe to them 🙂 I have a strong suspicion my Spring wardrobe might be accumulating a few more spots this season…. LOL!

Trend I am Loving: Palm Leaf Print!

Published on April 23, 2018April 12, 2018 by Suburban Style Files1 Comment

Palm leaf print was one of my favourite trends form last year and I am so happy to see that it is going to be super popular again this year! There is something so happy about these bold leaves… they always gives me that sunshine, vacation feeling 🙂

This dress was one of my favourites from last year and lucky for you it has been restocked for Spring!

My palm leaf print dress HERE

If this is a look that you are loving as well, I have rounded up a bunch of more reasonable palm pieces below:

One. Cuffed T-Shirt // Two. Knot Front Swimsuit // Three. Frilled Sleeve T-Dress // Four. Strapless Jumpsuit // Five. Pencil Dress // Six. Polka Dot Pants // Seven. Button Front Dress // Eight. Earrings //Nine. Leggings // Ten. Beach Tunic // Eleven. Shirts // Twelve. Backpack // Thirteen. Fit & Flare Dress // Fourteen. Bell Sleeve Blouse // Fifteen. Bandeau & Shorts Set // Sixteen. Watch

If a head to toe leaf print maxi is a bit too bold for your comfort level, start with a cute palm t-shirt (number one above is only $6.00!) and denim shorts with sandals! It is such a fun print for Spring and Summer 🙂 What do you think of this trend? I would love to chat in the comments below.

Pretty in Pink!

Hello friends! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. We are currently soaking up the sunshine in Maui, but I couldn’t wait to share this adorable dress with you 🙂 Pastel pink and delicate lace?! Two of my very favourite elements of Spring fashion 🙂 Added bonus, it was an absolute steal. Can there ever be too much pink in your wardrobe?! I have a feeling this one is going to sell out fast.

Pink Lace Dress // Pink Block Heels // Ball Drop Earrings

Wishing you all a great week and I apologize in advance for the vacation overload of photos on my Instagram 😉

The Prettiest Pastels!

Published on April 4, 2018April 10, 2018 by Suburban Style Files2 Comments

I absolutely love Springtime in Vancouver! It is also probably my favourite season for fashion. The cherry blossom trees are starting to bloom and they make the streets around where we live look absolutely gorgeous. Everything just looks so refreshed 🙂 I have been loving these clear and sunny days as of late.

There are so many gorgeous pastels out for Spring right now! I love the soft neutrals and all of the lace that I have been seeing. It takes a lot of self-control for me to not buy every beautiful floral dress or delicate skirt that I see. I may have gone a little overboard collaging the items below, but I absolutely adore all of these colours!

One. Blossom Silk Skinny Scarf // Two. Purple Pleated Blouse // Three. Scalloped Lace Top // Four. Pink Embroidered Pleated Scarf // Five. Floral Dress // Six. Pink Lace Dress // Seven. Pinstripe Wrap Dress // Eight. Lavender Button Dress // Nine. Floral Cold Shoulder Top // Ten. Pink Ball Drop Earrings // Eleven. Bow-Tie Slides // Twelve. Lace Romper // Thirteen. Mesh Ruffle Detail Dress // Fourteen. Mint Distressed Jeans // Fifteen. Floral-Print Belt // Sixteen. Violet Crossbody Bag // Seventeen. Adorned Drop Earrings // Eighteen. Lace Midi Dress // Nineteen. Blue Block Heel

I hope that I have been able to help you refresh your wardrobe for this Spring!

Currently Living in: Loungewear!

Published on February 19, 2018 by Suburban Style Files1 Comment

I don’t know about you, but I cannot get enough of cozy loungewear right now! It most likely has something to do with the freezing temperatures outside or the surprise snow we have been waking up to…. but I am finding on my days off, all I want to do is be lazy with my boys around the house! As much as I love my party dresses, they are not really the most practical choice for sitting on the floor playing duplo or for snuggling with sticky fingered little babes… lol. I have been living in my powder pink joggers and cozy pullovers.

My Pink Joggers // Shark Sweatshirt is old- Similar HERE & HERE

I have linked a bunch of other cute loungewear that I am loving right now:

One. Black “Wine” Sweatshirt // Two. Cafe Societe Sweatshirt // Three. Layered Thermal Top // Four. Thermal Button Front Top // Five. Floral Joggers // Six. Cream Terry Cloth Pants // Seven. Floral Sweatshirt // Eight. Pompom Slipper // Nine. Reading Socks // Ten. Polka Dot Pj Set // Eleven. Fleece Pullover // Twelve. Camo Print Sweatsuit // Thirteen. Black 2pc Pj Set // Fourteen. Sherpa-Lined Moccasin Slippers

I love anything that is super cozy while still looking cute 🙂

I am always a sucker for super feminine dresses.

High, Medium & Low Priced Dresses!

Published on January 29, 2018 by Suburban Style FilesLeave a comment

I consider myself to be a bit of a deal finder. Whenever my girlfriends are looking for a specific item they want, I take great pride in being able to search it out and find it for them at a smoking deal! I definitely own some investment pieces, and have so much appreciation for good quality and luxury items, but I am also a sucker for a bargain! I have been obsessed with velvet this year and am making a conscious effort not to go overboard with this particular trend. I had been seeing these gorgeous velvet wrap dresses everywhere and after losing the internal struggle with the more practical version of myself, I came to the conclusion that I needed one hanging in my closet… LOL! I decided to shop around to see if I could find an option I liked at a lower price point. Well, it was a successful mission so I decided I should share some of my various priced finds with you guys 🙂

My grey velvet wrap dress HERE (such a steal!!) How cute is the gathering at the shoulders?!

Here are some of the other velvet wrap dresses I came across if we are like-minded and it is an item you were thinking your closet was missing as well… 😉

HIGH:

Ruby Velvet Maxi // Pink Plum & Black Wrap Dress // Smokey Velvet Maxi

MEDIUM:

Holly Velvet Wrap Dress // Red Wrap Maxi Dress // Rose Velvet Maxi

LOW:

Golden Yellow Wrap Dress // Burgundy Velvet Twist Front // Dark Grey Velvet Wrap

What do you think? I felt my $30 grey wrap dress was just as cute as the $230 version!

Pantone’s Colour of the Year for 2018: Ultra Violet!

Published on January 3, 2018January 2, 2018 by Suburban Style FilesLeave a comment

If you have been reading my blog for the last little while, you will remember I did a week-long feature of the Pantone Institute’s predictions for the top ten colours of this past Fall 2017. If you missed it, you can read it here. Well, a new year is upon us, and The Pantone Colour Institute has chosen their colour of 2018… Ultra Violet!

“The Pantone Color of the Year 2018, PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet, is a dramatically provocative and thoughtful purple shade. It communicates originality, ingenuity, and the visionary thinking we are seeking to create a meaningful direction for our future. Complex and contemplative, this creative, reflective and magical blue-based purple suggests the mysteries of the cosmos and the intrigue of what lies ahead in a time that requires inventiveness and imagination.” (Description courtesy of the Pantone website.)

(Image courtesy of the Pantone website)

I have always loved rich purple hues. I find it to be luxurious and a colour that everyone can wear. I have collected some articles of clothing and accessories in this gorgeous shade if you are wanting to introduce it into your existing wardrobe for 2018!

One. Floral Envelope Clutch // Two. Strappy Heels // Three. Gathered Jersey Top // Four. Rib-Knit Sweater // Five. Woven Scarf // Six. One-Shoulder Ruffle Dress // Seven. Lace Fit and Flare Dress // Eight. Laser-Cut Tank // Nine. Ankle-Fit Herringbone Pant // Ten. Patterned Midi Dress // Eleven. Sequin Drop Hoop Earrings

I will be curious to see if we start seeing this predicted colour everywhere 🙂

Thank you for reading!
