Park Life

Now that spring is officially here, Torontonians have taken to the parks en masse. Wherever your favourite neighbourhood oasis may be, the warm weather means you’ll definitely be spending plenty of time there basking in the sun, playing Frisbee, and maybe even sipping some fine Jackson Triggs from the Wine Rack. Chances are you’ll want to look your best while doing so. Parks in Toronto have become a veritable play and meeting ground for the young, eligible and tanned, and a place for those without a cottage to see and be seen, all while spending some quality time with Mother Nature. Don’t forget the SPF.

Left to right: Aldo Sunglasses ($12). Aldo Sandals ($100). Gap Boyfriend Cutoffs ($55). Gap Slouchy Washed Hobo ($45). Matix Daydreamer Hat ($50) available in Vancouver at Underworld. Joe Fresh Patent Brogues ($59) available at Superstore. Lily & Jae Thelma Dress ($219) available in Vancouver at Riot, Zebra Club, Fine Finds and Aritzia, and in Toronto at Aritzia. Lily & Jae Sway Skirt ($139) available in Vancouver at Riot, Eugene Choo and The Block and in Toronto at Distill.

Crystal Clear

Aldo Alexis Bittar Clear Liquid Lucite $145

Alexis Bittar Lucite Bangle $195 BCBG Lucite Ring $28

Kenneth Jay Lane Clear Crystal Necklace $100 Michael Kors Clear Rhodium Cuff $175

R.J. Graziano Clear Lucite Crystal Studded Bracelet $40 Michael Kors Clear Rhodium Bead necklace $695

Now that Spring has officially arrived it’s time to shed our heavy coats and sweaters in favour of lighter threads. As wool coats are replaced by trenches, jeans by capris, and boots by sandals, it only makes sense that our jewellery should follow suit and lighten up too. Chunky, transparent lucite and crystal baubles are popping up everywhere lately. Accessory reports have made it clear (literally): translucent jewellery has arrived in a big way for Spring. The accessory-challenged needn’t worry any longer; these statement pieces go with everything and transition easily from day to night. Although clear jewelry is a hot trend at the moment, it’s wearable year-round, so you won’t be investing in a trendy piece with a short shelf life. Lightweight, fresh, and modern, these designs will have you in a Spring state of mind in no time (along with a good mani-pedi, of course). Take a cue from these icy accents, and you’ll be looking cool well into Summer.

Aldo Ring ($12): At select Aldo stores nationwide.

Victoria Vacation

Mona Elliot

Mona Elliot is a Victoria girl and proof Victoria has style. I haven’t seen her in over a year so it was great to catch up Friday on Glowbal’s patio. Always trendy, sexy and chic, this beauty knows where the hot spots are in the capital city, so I had to get the scoop from a local. The next time you take a boat or a plane to the Island, now you’ll know where eat, sip, dance and shop.

Mona’s wearing:

Sweater - Joe Fresh

Floral Top – Luv It Boutique

Snake print leggings – American Apparel

Heels – Aldo

Lipstick – MAC Girl About Town

Mona talks:

Veneto

Azuma Sushi

Touch Lounge

Lower Johnson Street (LoJo)

Hottest Spring Trends on BT

In case you missed it, here’s the link to today’s spring trend segment on City TV’s Breakfast Television! My dvd recorder didn’t record so we’ll have to settle with this.

http://site.btvancouver.ca/video/?bcpid=16157553001&bclid=16349005001&bctid=70993989001

Look 1. Lingerie-inspired trend. What typically is worn in the bedroom is now worn as outwear. Keep it classy and layer under a blazer or cardy. Aritzia.

Look 2. Military trend. Utility elements are key for looking up-to-date. Love olives and khakis. Zara.

Look 3. Digital and techno prints mixed together. Twinkle dress from Lynn Steven in Gastown.

Look 4. Minimalism trend. Simple, clean and classic lines. Add thick black frames (from Bang On) and Oxford style shoes from Aldo. Club Monaco.

I wore: Vest and white tee from Club Monaco.
