walk the line


There is something about these sunglasses that I just love to love..I switch from these to my favourite aviators but if I know one thing it's that everyone seems have a pair of these signature "johny cash" sunglasses as I like to call them and everyone I see is always is rockin' them.  A Trend favourite for me that wont go out of style any time soon.

I spent the entire day today vintage shopping. Each shop was like a funhouse..I could spend hours upon hours just trying on the most ridiculous outfits (and buying some of course) and never get bored. I find myself feeling so settled here in Vancouver already. This city is so trendy...it's like a sidewalk fashion show on every street. One week until classes start, I can't wait for this new reality to begin! JC

old with new



















Hello. So at last I have made it to my new home in Vancouver. During the 12hr drive I noticed this old forgotten tree amongst all this new green grass and I got inspired. This is a simple look really, nothing too fancy to say the least. But..it really is what all of us I am sure have done..paired up an old old old OLD pair of shorts with a new shirt. I bought this shirt from Zara not too long ago (hence the new) and it seems to be it's own version of a crop top.  Pairing it with my shorts, I quite like it, and it's so loose fitting it's perfect for summer even though black isn't always the colour of choice in the heat. I have found a new love for silver bangles. I know, I know, they never really went out of style but I replaced silver jewellery with gold for a while and now I'm in love with silver again. There is this new red lipstick from Mac, "you're only young once" as my mother always says so I thought I'd try some new bright colours instead of my beloved neutrals. 

So many exciting things are happening. I entered the Nokia Style Correspondent Contest and made 2nd round! Check out the photo that helped me make it! If you like it that would be such a help from all you beautiful people. Next step is to write 250 words on why I would be a great next style correspondent...if I win. I get a back stage pass to new york fashion week, a chance to interview some of the hottest designers and work with Elle Magazine and potentially have my work featured in an ACTUAL MAGAZINE. This would mean that I would actually get to say that I am on the right path and doing something right! So I have my fingers crossed and wishing that those 250 words prove my worth. 

I will keep you posted. All my love xo JC

Rainy Days





I love Leather jackets and wavy hair, and on those rainy spring/summer days the messy look is my fav. + since I'll be permanently in Vancouver as of next week I guess I better get used to it. I bought Bumble Bumble's surf spray and it works wonders, I recommend it to everyone who loves the beach wave look.  xo JC

NUMA






So these are the shots from my NUMA modelling shoot from a month ago,  I just got them back. 
The styling team kept it pretty simple, the focus was the red lips. I have a bunch of new photo shoot styling posts coming this week, I have been so busy lately I haven't had time to update new looks. Stay Tuned! xo JC
