As a mother one wears many hats. You are a constant multi-tasker, who is always looking to care for others before yourself. When it comes to dressing, fashion, and style - you usually know it's important but don't necessarily take the time to stay abreast of what's hot & not or spend the money to make yourself look & feel your best. I'm here to telly you that dressing to your ultimate potential doesn't always require a huge financial investment. Sometimes all you need is a few key pieces & voila you can make 3 new outfits! These inexpensive outfits look like a million bucks. Looking great doesn't have to break the bank!

Meet Celeste, she is a successful sales manager in the interactive space & is a mother of one beautiful lady Lucienne. She is super busy with meeting clients, playing with her lil'lady, and the usual life stuff.

Celeste is someone who always prides herself in looking amazing all the time. Dressing for her is important - especially when it comes to work and her clients. I wanted to come up with an outfit for her that would be versatile and easy to switch up based on her different life functions.

Everyone should have a classic, fun, and girly look. It's amazing how one dress can look so different based on the blazer, accessory, or shoes. This one dress is a key wardrobe staple for this mom on the go.

{Styling} A beautiful young lady...

On Friday, my cousin asked if I would take her shopping and shopping is what we did. She had $200.00 & we spent it all. We hit all the typical spots for the teenage age group, plus I expanded her horizons to vintage shops along Queen West all the way into Parkdale. Her sense of style is fun, creative, and comfortable. Below are some pics of the looks and purchases that we bought Friday. Enjoy!
