I visited London back in 2011 and fell in love with its beautiful architecture, stylish people and rich history. As I left, I told myself that I'd be back again as soon as the opportunity arose. Well, it did, and faster than I ever thought it would: last week, I got the chance to fly out to the city for a whirlwind trip with boohoo.com. In addition to learning more about the UK's fastest growing online fashion retailer, it was a treat to also get to spend time with some favourite Canadian …

A Hint of Sparkle
Colour-blocked, bejeweled and slightly sheer, I knew this blouse would become one of my favourites the moment I saw it. I love the miu miu feel it has to it - so fun and glam - and it only felt right to pair them with my new oversized square sunnies (more about these soon!).

From fun, bright colours to luxurious …
Camo & Chains
Sometime around last fall, I started being drawn to more tomboyish pieces.

Paired with more feminine pieces like a peplum and fuchsia pointy pumps, they possess a slightly more polished feel that doesn't feel too far removed from my …
Metallic Pop
As evidenced here, I am currently having a bit of a love affair with metallic silver. After admiring this ela clutch for a few months, I finally decided to pick it up last week in time for spring. I adore the fun studs and perfect size, but my favourite thing about it has to be its ability to transform an outfit and give it a slightly futuristic nod.Wearing: Topshop sweater (similar), Aritzia pants, ela handbags clutch, 3.1 Phillip Lim shoes …
