JOE FRESH Spring Preview
If your closet is currently in a state of depression and requires an overhaul this Spring, you should familiarize yourself with Joe's new Spring collection, ASAP!
The latest collection is FULL of this seasons hottest trends, and in true Joe form falls within a very reasonable price point.
In short, it would be rude not to pick up several pieces.

Check Mate
Checkers Three Ways
A few months back I bought my husband a black and red checker shirt, when I presented him with the random gift his first reaction was "I look like a lumber jack". His comment made me reflect upon myself and my own lumber jack-esque apparel that hung in my closet. Over the past few years I had accidentally collected what I deem to be a one-too many checker pattern button downs. They have become a staple on days when I want to roll out of bed and not worry about using my little brain to conjure up an outfit. And I guess that reflects in the way I look because when constantly paired with worked in jeans the checker shirt can look a bit too laid back.
Recently while in Joe I picked up a soft mint green checker shirt and I vowed to wear it differently, that got me thinking, how can you pull off checkers, plaid and flannel without looking frumpy, or like you're a-boot to hunting eh? Check it out below, my top three fav ways to work checks into your wardrobe.
1. With Jeans: I know I JUST said that pairing the shirt with jeans isn't ideal, but its all in how you accessories. Starting from the top, I have an ass load of make-up on, and a bright lipstick, so it would be almost impossible to confuse me for a boy. Next I added a neon necklace, and blue suede pumps. Et Voilà
2. With Colour: If you pair checkers with another bright colour it will never look boring or dull. This skirt is such a gorgeous purple colour, with gold accessories you're in the money.
3. With Leather: This is pretty self explanatory, pair anything with leather and suddenly, va-va-voom! Leather pants, tight, shorts, jacket, or in this case faux leather skirt from Zara. I upped the ante by adding patent Louboutin's (which my dog kept trying to eat) .

I guess that's it for now, but the possibilities are endless. Tell me, have you embraced the flannel checker trend? How do you wear it?

Keeping It Fresh
How Canadian label Joe keeps it FRESH.....see what I did there?
If you're looking for affordable and stylish digs under $100 then look no further then Joe Fresh. Joe Mimran, co-founder of Club Monaco, and the name behind Alfred Sung has given us a stylish and affordable apparel and accessories collection that includes adult and children's wear, shoes, handbags, jewellery, beauty products and bath items. The collection, which is now available at over 300 Canadian supermarkets, in addition to a number of stand-alone locations has proven a staple in my own wardrobe, I even got hubby hooked on their thin knit sweaters.
While JOE may not be Chanel or Versace it is still a perfectly acceptable staple in my world. That may have something to do with the fact that I cant afford neither Chanel nor Versace, but anywho, moving along. It is nearly impossible for me to walk out of a Joe store without a purchase in hand, mainly because of the great price point, but notably because of the super cute collection. I must own over two dozen of their thin long sleeve t-shirts; they are a fav of mine because I can wear them under anything, or alone with some accessories to fancy the look up.
While Joe Fresh has been around for several years, In 2010, they moved beyond the supermarket aisle with the opening of their first stand-alone store, in down town Vancouver. For you Americans, Joe's new international flagship headquarters is located on Fifth Avenue and 43rd Street, and opened in 2012. If you don't already know Joe Fresh than I suggest you check it out. Their website is just as fresh and cute as the collection, and can give you a sneak peak of what's in store this season.
This spring Joe is offering lots of pretty pastels, floral prints, geometric prints and stripes and gingham in every colour! Some of my fav's are below...
What's very interesting is my most recent Joe purchases have been easily confused for higher end designer items. Every time I wear the bib necklace pictured below someone asks me if its Marni. I find the quality of the knits and dress shirts to be quite good. Meanwhile some of the long sleeve t's in my personal collection have been around for 2.5 years and are still kickin after hundreds of washes.
