Wearing eyelet is the easiest way to achieve a laidback and ladylike look this summer. From its dress form to the skirt variety--there's just something so romantic about those pretty little cutouts. Today, I'm wearing a long-sleeve number from Anthropologie that I just get enough of. 

I kept everything pretty simple with my outfit, letting my accessories shine today. I paired the top with my go-to skinnies, nude suede pumps and new monogrammed clutch from Gigi New York. I LOVE this snakeskin clutch for nights out and also for office days. With a pop of fringe and texture, it's a chic addition to ANY look! And to finish things off? I threw on some shoulder-grazing orb earrings. They are the accessory you need to add to your summer lineup.  No longer reserved for dressed up looks, these vibrant earrings were meant for the everyday. A casual daytime date, happy hour, a lunch with the girls— it works for all three. So trade in your delicate strands and studs because this season bolder baubles are most definitely better!

BEST LADY, BEST GIFT

Los Angeles, CA

Even though I’m too often miles apart from my Mum in distance, I feel so lucky to have someone as wonderfully thoughtful, caring and loving as her to call on every day.  There is no one like her and I am thankful every day that I get to pick up the phone and hear her smiling voice on the other end.  So while I usually find it hard to think up the perfect gift, I try my best to get her something that I know she wouldn't go out of her way to get for herself. My Mom is the put-herself-last kind of lady. She's the one making sure everyone has eaten their dinner before she sits down and still worries more about my outfits than her own. Thoughtful to the extreme, she deserves all the pampering in the world. 

That's why this year, I am gifting her the Decadent Almond L'Occitane Gift Box. From nursing shower oil to the hydrating milk concentrate and more, it has everything she needs to keep her skin glowing and her tub flowing with luxe bath products. My favorite part about the set? The smell of all the products! The almond scent is truly delicious (not too overpowering like flowery fragrances can be) and it lasts all day long. Plus, each product compliments the other beautifully. 

If you are still looking for the perfect gift for Mom, this one is truly a gem. Sold for $74, it has a retail price of $100.50.

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there! And to mine, for all the care packages, dance parties, FaceTime dates, late night phone calls, unwavering support, and love you’ve always given me, thank you. You are the very best.

DENIM ON DENIM

Beverly Hills, CA

You can never have too much of a good thing. Especially if that good thing is denim. Well, I guess that is a BIT of an overstatement. Doubling up on denim can be a tricky beast. Something about it seems to go against everything we've been taught about putting together a proper outfit. I mean, after all, it is called the Canadian tuxedo. So while I admit it is definitely intimidating, if you follow a few basics, you're destined to kill it.

• Mix it up! Make sure you don't wear denim of the same weight/wash.
• Go with distressed jeans, shorts or jacket! The easiest way to pull off this look is to add a little wear and tear. Rips are a YES.
• Dress things up a bit! Elevate the look with statement shoes, like these red bow heels, or add a chic little accessory (or two). Right now my go-to add-on? A colorful neck scarf.
