THROWBACK THURSDAY: HIP HOP LEGENDS
These photos were taken back in August of 2014. My amazing cousins had bought this awesome tank for me from Forever 21, and I had been wearing it all the time. I remember loving how it looked with a gold collar or choker and other gold accessories.

One of the biggest trends in fashion right now is customizable clothing. Consumers are looking for new and inventive ways to make their clothing personalized and one-of-a-kind. A really easy way to accomplish this trend is by adding patches or badges to your favorite pieces. It’s time to let your inner Girl Scout shine!
It’s really easy to find cool patches from e-stores like eBay and Etsy, but in case you want some pieces that are already pre-patched, here are some of my favorites on the market right now:

It should hopefully come as no surprise that I have a lot of denim shirts in my closet. And when I say a lot, I mean A LOT. I have different washes, different colors, different sleeve lengths, different fits. The list goes on and on. This particular denim shirt from H&M, though, is my absolute favorite out of the bunch. I have had it for years and it only seems to get better with wear and time.
I have always felt the most myself and also the most comfortable when I’m wearing denim. To me, jeans are classic and timeless while also being rugged and strong. I want my personal style to reflect some of the same sentiments – polished and refined with a hard edge. What better way to incorporate all those notions than with denim on denim.
It is also so easy to dress up (or dress down) a Canadian tux and really make it your own. For me, wearing denim on denim allows my accessories, like my bright handbag, giant hoops, vintage sunglasses and eclectic footwear to really pop. I will always be a blue jean baby!
