The Easter Bunny is ageist.  There I said it.

I know he’s just sitting there on his little bunny thrown laughing and calling us all “Boomers” because we are over the age of 21.

You can stop laughing King Carrot aka: Sir Fluffy Bottom, because this year, I am reclaiming Easter morning for those of us that stopped getting those baskets full of goodies many decades ago and replacing them with the gift of “Boozy Easter Baskets”.

There is one sure fire thing you can bet on every Spring, that a floral pattern of some sort will make an appearance.

I mean it makes sense, flowers signify new beginnings, which is really what Spring is all about, right?

Spring 2021 is delivering us a fresh bouquet of florals in an all-over approach by mixing florals head-to-toe.  Yes, mixed florals! You know my love for print mixing so, of course, I’m excited AF about this.

Whether romantic soft florals are your thing or the punchy in-your-face type of floral sparks joy, create your own arrangement by mixing floral prints of different sizes and types.

When rockin’ mixed florals (or really any print) the key is to have one color that continues throughout. As long as the prints have at least one color in common, you can use contrasting colors.

If you feel like it’s too printastic ground your look by pairing with a solid to kind of calm things down a bit.

After spending the last year in sweatpants and leggings it’s time to have fun with fashion again. Dive into your closet, dust off those bag and heels, find some florals prints and start experimenting. It’s time to make your long-awaited fashion reemergence and why not do it in mixed florals!

The Canadian Tuxedo.  It lives in fashion infamy.

Also known as “denim on denim”, love it or hate it the look has popped up decade after decade from the streets of Milan to celebs like Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé and Miley Cyrus.

This season all things retro are the BIZ so of course that means denim in all it’s iterations but with a modern twist. The New Canadian Tuxedo.

On the runways we are seeing new ways to layer the utilitarian fabric by switching up silhouettes and adding contrasting materials. Printed denim and layering varied shades and colors of denim lead the way while softer approaches pair feminine pieces like denim skirts with the rough and ready fabric of a tough denim jacket or denim shirt.

When gathering your gear look for oversized 90’s inspired denim jackets, printed or logoed denim skirts, vintage inspired jeans aka straight leg, flared and boot-cut denim, chambray tops, denim coveralls and anything with color.

The key is to pair the denim so that the look has depth.  Even though you are wearing denim head to toe there should be little moments that let each piece shine individually while still being cohesive as a whole look. Don’t shy away from color or pattern- they are your BFF for creating a look that has interest.

Give the new denim on denim aka Canadian Tuxedo a try this season, I promise you’ll look nothing like early 2000s Britney and Justin.. unless you want to.

Fashion Facts-

The Term “Canadian Tuxedo” is a misnomer: It was an American, crooner Bing Crosby, who first donned the ensemble, wearing an actual denim tuxedo jacket that Levi Strauss made for him after he was denied entry from a Vancouver hotel with a strict dress code.

The 70’s are back and I’m not mad about it!

The runways were packed with groovy 70’s inspired looks. Everything from crafty crochet at Valentino to folksy frocks at Dior.  Designers are revisiting the 70’s in all it’s incarnations from full on glam to easy California Surfer styles.

The 70’s was an era of good vibes, cultural shifts, iconic fashion and great music.  So, it makes sense that after the year we have been through designers are feeling nostalgic for one of fashion’s greatest eras.

The biggest colors for the season feel like they are straight out of Bianca Jagger’s closet.  Think rust, sunflower yellow, chocolate, burnt oranges and all the warm earthy tones of the ’70s.

You’ll also want to revisit everyone’s favorite material corduroy, pointed collars, clogs, head scarves, floral prints, bell sleeves, oversized sunglasses and flared trousers for fashion inspiration.

70’s inspired fashion is a style that’s comfortable but commanding. It’s really broken in, a super-relaxed, chic, with a vintage feel.

..and it doesn’t stop at fashion. 70’s hair is back too. Center parts, curly bangs, modern mullets and shag haircuts. Everyone will be rockin’ retro cuts for SS21.

Always remember- you don’t have adopt a head to toe 70’s style.  No one want’s to look like they are headed to a costume party.  Incorporate a few 70’s inspired fashion pieces, ones that work with your personal style.

Whether you join the sustainability movement and opt for vintage pieces and upcycled styles made from deadstock fabrics or you hit the racks for something new yet nostalgic keep a 70’s state of mind this season.
