<br />
While winter has worked its way to the rest of Canada, it hasn't quite hit the West Coast yet (thankfully). I've put together my favorite fall trends that I'll be carrying into winter with me.</div>

<h4>
<b>Camel Tones</b></h4>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Camel tones are my favorite for fall, and I'm not going to lie, I'm always on the hunt for new pieces. New jackets, berets, pants and sweaters. The <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/VkMI" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chriselle Lim Collection</a> made every camel wish of mine come true, with gorgeous fitted pieces that will last a lifetime. I paired it with a geometric bag to breakup the monotone look.<br />

<b>Rust tones</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My second favorite colour for fall. I say second because I wear rust tones well into the spring. They're the perfect colour for keeping that warm summer glow in your skin, even when your tan has faded.</div>

<b>The Plaid Blazer</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another classic. This menswear inspired piece is a staple in my fall closet, although I admit that I tend to put it away by the time winter has made its appearance. The fuchsia piping on the <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/VkIJ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chriselle Lim Collection</a> plaid blazer has me keeping it in my regular rotation to add a splash of spring to the grey winters though.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the weather gets cold, just add tights. In the fall, I switch to my trusty waterproof <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/VkJN" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">chelsea boots</a>, a pair of tights when I can't brave the cold in bare legs, and a sweater or blazer layered over my summer minis. The long sleeves and rusty tones of this <a href="https://shopstyle.it/l/VkKv" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Sea New York dress</a> make it perfect for fall, while this <a href="https://ministryofstyle.com.au/collections/all/products/rhapsody-mini-dress" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ruffled lilac dress</a> is the perfect piece to wear with a pair of tights and booties.</div>

Culottes</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My favourite transitional piece between seasons, and one of the most flattering cuts in my opinion. Flowing culottes are my favourite no matter where I am - a castle in Victoria, a traditional Chinese courtyard or even the beach. Pair with a pair of sock boots once it's colder to keep those bare ankles covered and warm.<br />

You can probably tell my favourite way to accessorize my outfit is with... a floral backdrop, as seen in many of my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/casualncouture/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram photos</a>.<br />
<br />
This started in the spring, where I'd randomly see beautiful bushes in bloom. It's probably the only reason I've fallen in love with Vancouver. Yes, there's mountains and an ocean, but nothing beats the amount of flowers blooming in the spring and summer. And ever since, I've been trying to take my photos in front of one of these bushes.<br />

<a href="http://vandusengarden.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">VanDusen Botanical Garden</a> is probably my favorite place to go and relax in the city. It can be educational and awe-inspiring, and there's always something in bloom for me to take a good photo with.<br />

Seattle is probably one of my favorite cities... to eat in. While I mostly focus on the food (seriously, it's so good, I don't even remember to take photos of it - I just dig in), I do like to explore and try a new thing or two each trip. I've been on underground tours, and seen the Space Needle; explored Pike Place Market and visited the original Starbucks (and the much newer Reserve Roastery). Here's some of my must visits when you're only in the city for a day.<br />

<h4>
The Seattle Art Museum
</h4>
<br />
When I first went to Seattle since moving to Vancouver last year, I randomly stumbled upon the Art Musuem in downtown, thanks to all the advertising for the Yayoi Kasuma exhibit. Needless to say, you can't randomly walk in and expect to be able to see her work - her tickets sell out FAST. This year, I saw this gorgeous ceiling while walking by, and immediately had to check it out. Best part? It's a free exhibit, which means it makes the perfect photo op. <br />

<h4>
Downtown Seattle</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
Wandering around downtown Seattle and you'll find some of the most beautiful buildings. Head to what I like to call the Amazon district, and check out their living building (they even grow cacao in it), or just wander among the character buildings in the shopping area. Every city has it's own version of New York's Flatiron Building, and Seattle is no exception - check out the Mariners Team Store for that quintessential streetstyle shot. <br />

Lady Yum</h4>

Will there ever be anything better than a maple bacon macaron? I think not. Lady Yum offers unique flavors (especially their monthly specials) and some pretty unique decor and wallpapers. Come for the photo, stay for the sugar.<br />

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner</h4>
<div>
<br /></div>
Take a seat at The London Plane in Pioneer Square for a beautiful and delicious brunch, then head to Kastoori Grill by Pike Place for momos and curry. Finish with dinner in Capitol Hill - Stateside is my current interior decor obsession, and their duck wraps are to die for. If you're a true foodie in the are, go to Stateside for cocktails and appetizers, than walk over to Kedai Makan for a homestyle Malaysian meal.<br />
Honorable mention goes to Brother Joe in Georgetown. Delicious brunch, but a bit out of the way. Georgetown is super cool, and the oldest neighbourhood in Seattle. <br />

<br />
You know spring is finally here when the cherry blossoms start to bloom in Vancouver. They're our first signs that the rain is nearly at an end, and we have sunny days for the next couple of months.<br />
<br />
Despite the cold spells (read snow) and rain storms (read wilted and rotting flowers), I've managed to find some of the best spots for all your cherry blossom photo dreams.<br />

<br />
Walk anywhere along 64th or 70th Ave, from Granville to Hudson, and you'll find kanzen trees lining most of the streets. Kanzen are my absolute favorite – they're a deep pink, and blossom in clusters which produces a nice full effect for photos.<br />

I spent a good month stalking 3rd Avenue and waiting for the rain to stop to get the perfect cherry blossom shot (I didn't get it, but I got close). Outside the temple is lined with cherry blossoms, and with the right angle, you can get the iconic golden dome in the background.<br />

If you wander down to Margeurite, you'll find a few streets with more mature kanzen.<br />

6. Queen Elizabeth Park<br />
<br />
Everyone's favorite, but last on my list since it's so busy... and grassy. There's a lovely canopy of Akebono cherry blossoms near the main street. Even though I had gone when it was pouring rain (I swear I left and it was only cloudy, I don't know what happened in the 10 minutes it took to get from the house to the park), no one seemed to care, and I could barely get a shot without anyone in it! It's still super pretty though.<br />

Honourable Mention: UBC Robson Square<br />
<br />
While I didn't go for cherry blossoms, there is a beatiful magnolia tree located outside the Vancouver Art Gallery. While cherry blossoms are iconic, Vancouver has given me a new appreciation for the large magnolias that are so common in everyone's backyards here.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Happy Valentine's Day! To celebrate, the boy and I will be spending the day at the Vancouver Aquarium, and the weekend at the new Takashi Murakami exhibit at the Vancouver Art Gallery.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As we'll be walking a lot, I chose something comfortable (thick-heeled boots are a godsend), and of course, pink and red for those Valentine's Day feels.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pair with a beret for a cute, French inspired look, perfect for any art gallery!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">Need last-minute Valentine's Day outfit inspiration? Here are my favorite elements for the perfect Valentine's outfit!</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">1. Go cute and cozy with an oversized sweater. Want to be on trend for 2018? Wear a sweater with sleeve details! I choose this balloon sleeve sweater to emphasize the cozy, but you can choose frilled sleeves or bell sleeves for a more feminine feel.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">2. Pair pink and red. Despite what "What Not to Wear" has told us, pink and red do complement each other, and don't clash. My favorite is pairing blush pink with a burgundy or orange-toned red.</span></div>
<span style="text-align: center;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">3. GLOW - fresh skin is in, and needless to say, I am not shy with the highlighter (as seen in that first photo) in an effort to get that Korean glass skin look.</span></div>
<span style="text-align: center;">
</span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">4. Go French! What's more romantic than a day in Paris? Accessorize with a beret to add a bit of Parisian flair to your Valentine's Day look!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;">5. Keep comfy! Is your date planning your date? You might want to wear a pair of comfortable shoes if you don't know whether you'll be doing an activity, or being wined and dined. My personal favorite are a pair of <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/ybAC" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cute booties</a> with a thick heel, as they'll match nearly any outfit.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
When you visit a country for the fourth time, especially if you've lived there for a period of time, it's hard not to fall into old habits – staying in with friends and ordering takeout, going to you usual haunts, or just running all your errands (and by errands, I mean shopping to restock on makeup and skincare). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I found this conundrum on my third trip to Seoul last January, and struggled even more on my fourth trip in October for Seoul Fashion Week! While most of my days were filled with shows, there were some that I needed to fill – and while spending the day at the hostel helping the owner improve his English is fun, it's not ideal (not going to lie, most of my early evenings in were spent drinking tea and discussing cultural differences with him, it's great to learn something new!). So I've put together a few tips for anyone who's making a first, second, or third trip to one of my favorite cities. </div>

1. Take A Different Subway Exit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To get to <a href="http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SH/SH_EN_7_2_2_1.jsp" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Insadong</a>, you can get off at two different subway stations (Anguk or Jonggak), and take a myriad of exit points from there. As someone who's pretty set in their routines and is admittedly directionally challenged, I always take the same exit so I don't need to struggle with a map. What happens when my friend insists on a shortcut? We find the cutest corner of Insadong, without a tourist in site. Taking Exit 1 or 2 at Anguk Station will get you to <a href="http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/ATR/SI_EN_3_1_1_1.jsp?cid=561382" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bukchon Hanok Village (북촌한옥마을)</a>, and Exit 4 will take you into a really quiet corner of the Hanok Village filled with traditional hanoks turned cafes and eateries. </div>

2. Try Traditional Tea<br />
My favorite is <i>omija </i>tea, or five-flavor berry tea. The tea is made from dried magnolia berries, and is a refreshing drink in the hot summer. Enjoy it with some traditional <i>bingsu </i>with red beans and <i>hangwa!</i></div>

3. Head to <a href="http://english.visitseoul.net/attractions/Dongdaemun-Design-Plaza-DDP_/96" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Dongdaemun Design Plaza</a> for a Fashion Exhibit<br />
Designed by Zaha Hadid, the building is home to a variety of art installations, exhibits, and of course, Seoul Fashion Week. Visit the LED Rose Garden (shown behind me) at night for a magical sight, go shopping for souvenirs (the gift shops offer a selection of fun toys and modern design). My favorite thing to do when I have a break in between shows (or whenever I was bored on a weekend) is to check out their fashion exhibits. I went to see the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit in 2016, complete with talking Madonna mannequins, and of course mannequins of G-Dragon lined up alongside Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington on a mock runway.

4. People Watch<br />
Speaking of Seoul Fashion Week, sometimes you just want to sit and people watch. I feel like certain cities offer the best people to watch, and Seoul is one of them (Paris and Tokyo are close behind though)! Of course, the best and the craziest come out during Seoul Fashion Week, lining up to try and have their photos snapped by famed street photographers. I personally enjoy watching the kids – their parents dress them adorably, and some are already in training to become k-pop stars, actors and actresses, and models. </div>

5. Cafe Hop<br />
There are always new cafes popping around, and rather than heading to the nearest one, take some time to do a bit of research. Korea loves their themed cafes, and while expensive, the experience is always fun! Plus, if you're like me, you'll want to go just to take a few pictures! If you happen to be in Myeongdong, try the Pink Pool Cafe in the <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.ca/Attraction_Review-g294197-d11918183-Reviews-Stylenanda_Pink_Hotel_Flagship_Store-Seoul.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Style Nanda Pink Hotel</a>! In Apgujeong? Take a peek down the rabbit hole and go to Miss Yoon's Wonderland (이상한 나라의 미쓰윤)! Go far enough down (or maybe up?) the rabbit hole and you'll find a secret bar on the roof.</div>

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show does not show how hectic backstage is at a fashion show is. I mean it does, but it's a whole 'nother beast in person.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was lucky enough to be one of the backstage photographers for Gayeon Lee's show at Seoul Fashion Week this year. She is the absolute sweetest, and I've loved her designs since first trying to get tickets two years ago (but her show was on a weekday as the best always seem to be). Of course I couldn't attend, as back then I taught and was only able to go to the Saturday shows, but I still fell in love seeing the photos online.</div>

Colour blocking was prominent in her collection, as were asymmetric necklines and hems. The attention to detail was amazing - drop earrings matched dress straps. The embellished jewelry tied the collection and individual pieces together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favourite piece was a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Ba03fMkghlX/?taken-by=gayeonlee_official" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cropped shirt</a> with an asymmetric hem and structured sleeves (shown above).</div>

Can a dress be anymore perfect? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><a href="http://www.tibaeg.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ti:baeg</a> impressed at Seoul Fashion Week with it's feminine style, inspired streetwear, and traditional inspirations. I might need to make a trip to Doota for their upcoming spring collection - because this dress is the definition of perfection.</span></div>
<div>

<br />
Feminine details were exemplified in ti:baeg's Spring/Summer collection at Seoul Fashion Week. Embroidered roses and soft water color prints could be found amidst dainty pleats and ruffles, giving body and a certain graphic element and silhouette that will always remind me of Korean street fashion.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
The contemporary collection combined past and present with full skirts on strapless dresses reminiscent of traditional hanbok, while designer Eunae Cho, also included sequinned hoodies - a great reminder of the unique street fashion Seoul is known for. Cropped hoodies were paired with flowing, feminine trousers, and bombers with graphic prints were detailed with finely pleated cuffs and ribbons.<br />
<br />
Seriously though, how cool would those boxy sequinned hoodies look with some <a href="http://www.refinery29.com/2017/03/147611/ysl-saint-laurent-rhinestone-boots-wait-list" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">iconic glitter Saint Laurent boots</a>?</div>

Ti:baeg is a witty brand - it's pronounced how you think it would be - "teabag." Just as a teabag infuses hot water with it's rich falvor, ti:b<span style="color: #222222; font-family: times, times new roman, serif;">ae</span>g will release it's delicate details and colors within you.<br />

As the fall weather rolls in, I find my style changing from flowing bohemian, to something a little edgier. This season's biggest trends are checked blazers, and the baker hat... and while I do own one of the two, that post won't come for awhile. In the mean time, I'm stilling rocking summer's hottest trend: the denim skirt. Okay, I shouldn't say "still." Last weekend was the only weekend I wore one, having just bought my first in the beginning of September!</div>

A friend sent me a picture of this mesh top paired with a denim skirt, and that was the push I needed to pull the trigger on this gorgeous Oak + Fort top. I quickly paired it with a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BYHHuE3j4p4/?taken-by=casualncouture" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">pink suede mini skirt</a>, and loved the look (you can see those pics on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BZUbHiWHOta/?taken-by=casualncouture" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Instagram</a> for now). With the cooler weather though, and my new purple hair, pink is no longer my thing. Pink is out, and denim is in! But seriously, you'll see my wardrobe get steadily darker with less whites and more creams, navies and blacks as winter rolls in. I might even pick up this top in black.<br />
<br />
In other news, I'm off to Seoul Fashion Week! This outfit will probably be worn again (assuming I didn't eat so much Thanksgiving dinner that this skirt no longer fits). ;)</div>

<a name='more'></a>A more modest take on this otherwise <a href="http://casualncouture.blogspot.com/2016/07/bare-it-all.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">very revealing dress</a>. I seem to have a thing for needing to tape my clothes down, but layering a basic tee underneath is the easiest way to fix that problem. But is is really a problem? This dungaree dress is the perfect piece for the beach, especially with the weather getting cooler. Who says you can't get dressed up for the beach?</div>

I've had a slight obsession with the beach since freezing in Korea last year. I was in complete and utter denial there, and kept buying the beachiest, warm weather clothes I could... it didn't matter that it was -10ºC with 60% humidity (that's cold, even for a Calgarian!)! I've been taking advantage of the beaches here in Vancouver this summer, stocking up on new bathing suits (still obsessed with <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/dDIP" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">white one pieces</a>), and <a href="http://shopstyle.it/l/dDE1" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">new dresses</a>.<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>This little white number has my two favourite style elements – a cold shoulder and a low back. I swear, if I ever get married, my dress will be backless! I love the surprise when you turn around... you can probably tell from my <a href="http://casualncouture.blogspot.com/2016/04/winged-for-seoul-fashion-week.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Seoul Fashion Week</a> outfit last year and my recent <a href="http://casualncouture.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-open-back.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">art gallery outfit</a> that this is an on-going thing for me. I actually really regret not getting my highschool grad dress with a low back (I had tried on a burnt orange halter neck gown with a plunging back) and instead opted for a BCBG cocktail dress instead, because then "I could wear it again." Guess what, it hasn't seen the light of day since. And it cost more than the gown! Oh well! For now, I'll keep on stocking up on all the backless tops and dresses. Let me know if you find anything good!<br />

I'm lucky to have friends who are as into visiting art galleries and museums as I am. Even luckier because they're usually willing to take a few photos too (in all fairness, if they want photos, they know I'm always willing to take some as well). I think I changed outfits nearly five times when my friend and I decided last minute to check out the Vancouver Art Gallery! It was one of the first hot days of the season, so I wanted something cool and breezy, but not too casual. Silk tops are my preferred choice, and this Free People top is perfect with it's open back. I should probably go braless next time though....<br />

In celebration of Father's Day, I present to you the photos I forced my dad to take during a family trip to Vancouver. He's gotten to be quite good under my tutelage! But seriously, after I returned from Korea (and realizing how much easier it is to have another person take photos of my for Instagram or the blog instead of a tripod and remote), my dad has become my go to photographer. I think he may have hated it/me at first, because I'd constantly yell at him to squat in order to make me look taller (tricks of the trade, I tell ya). Or I'd complain about his composition. But seriously, he's okay now! Even with a few months break, he still remembers how I like my photos taken. Happy Father's Day!!!! Love you Dad!<br />

<br />
Spring is one of my favorite seasons, especially when there's all sorts of different flowering trees, as I'm sure you know given how much I talk about cherry blossom season in Vancouver, and previously Korea. And what's more perfect for spring than blush hues?! Although apparently, we no longer call it "blush" or even "rose quartz." Yes, it has a new name. "Millennial Pink."<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a>What does everyone think of that name? On one hand, I don't think a single shade could better describe a generation than "millennial pink." I remember when it first became a popular color for men to wear when I was in junior high (more than a decade ago!). And it made its return as Pantone's color of the year in 2016. It's a shade that's just forever in our hearts, so while I dislike the name and negative connotations associated with the term "millennial," I can't help but embrace "millennial pink."<br />

One must admit, these can't help but make me feel a little bit nostalgic. I'm pretty sick of all the rain in Vancouver (hereby known as Raincouver).</div> <br /> <br /> <!--more--><br /> <br /> <div style="background-color: white; border: 0px solid #e6c9bb; clear: both; float: left; left: -35px; margin: 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative; text-align: center; top: 0px; width: 450px; z-index: 3;"> <br /> Lucky for me, Korea and Calgary taught me how to layer for the weirdly cold, rainy weather. My favorite way? Layering a light top under a thicker sweater. If in Calgary, be warned – you're gonna need two light tops under that sweater... and a jacket on top. While there's no snow in Vancouver, this outfit's been on rotation nearly every weekend. The pleated midi skirt is fun to run around the city in, and works well to tuck a thick sweater in. If it gets too warm during the day, I just take the sweater off to reveal a white t-shirt, or this thin turtleneck. Et voila! – no jacket needed. (Bonus points if you brought a giant tote to store your sweater!)<br /> <br /></div> </div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">PURSE</a><br />

Since moving to Vancouver, I've rediscovered my two favorite things about the city. Food, and cherry blossoms.</div>

One of these days, I'll put together a best Vancouver eats guide (because someone spent way more than her allotted budget eating out last month – what's wrong with me?! I spent my money on restaurants and not shoes!), but then again, I said I'd do the same for Korea... and that's still in the works. Yes, I am a procrastinator, what can I say. And forgetful to boot. Such is adult life – it's not different than high school (ha! I wish)!<br />
<br />
Speaking of procrastinating, apparently I've procrastinated on the 90s. I've never been one to layer a dress over jeans (and trust me, I remember when that was a thing when I was in junior high), but this slip is so versatile, and it was so chilly outside taking these pictures, that I couldn't help it. Turns out, kick flare denim is the perfect pair of jeans to layer under a dress.</div>

I've been loving my kick flare jeans this spring (seriously, I only wear these and a pair of black skinnies nowadays). I feel like they instantly add a focal point for any outfit, without detracting from it or making a statement. Plus I feel super French chic in them. <br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Oh the bane of loving coffee (and tea… and chocolate… and even a new affinity for red wine)… and having teeth prone to staining. A good buffering from my hygienist and unsightly coffee stains are no more, but what’s a girl to do when she only wants to pay for that once a year? </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">I’ve tried whitening strips with good results on my top teeth, but nada on the bottom – the strip just falls off after a few minutes (what can I say, I guess I drool a lot). Cue my excitement when <a href="http://www.smilebrilliant.com/#casualncouture" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Smile Brilliant</a> contacted me to do a review on their <a href="http://www.smilebrilliant.com/product/teeth-whitening-trays#casualncouture" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">custom made trays</a> and whitening system.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">The system is really easy to use. There are three sets of moulding putty, so even if you make a mistake, there’s enough for a second go. Mix the putty and catalyst together well, roll it in between your palms and stretch it out to fit the mould. Then bite and hold everything in place for a few minutes until the mould sets. You’ll need to ship them back to Smile Brilliant so they can cast the moulds, and <a href="http://www.smilebrilliant.com/articles/benifits-of-choosing-custom-fitted-teeth-whitening-trays#casualncouture" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">give you a perfect tray</a>. </span></div>

I have <a href="https://www.smilebrilliant.com/articles/tooth-sensitivity-causes-solutions-prevention#casualncouture" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">really sensitive teeth</a>, so I can’t go much longer than an hour. Then I quickly brush my teeth and apply the de-sensitizing gel for 15 minutes. I do this once a week (any more often and my sensitivity will increase for a few days). </span><span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">I can definitely say it works to remove stains, but won’t prevent them. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">The whitening gel itself will open make the enamel more porous (any whitening process will do this), which means no staining foods for at least 24 hours after whitening. I didn’t listen and ended up with new stains where I’m prone to them normally. My dentist friend (because I have him on speed dial to work after hours at my beck and call) recommends waiting up to two weeks before taking part in your daily morning coffee ritual after you whiten, and using fluoride to help seal the enamel after whitening to prevent future staining. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12pt; white-space: pre-wrap;">Whitening is a process, and definitely not a fast one at that if you have sensitive teeth. But the results are worth it, especially if you’re prone to stains. I’m happy to say that after two whitening sessions, my new stains were gone. While my smile doesn’t shine bright like a diamond, I’m pretty happy there are no more unsightly marks. </span></div>

The last of the snow pictures. One must admit, these can't help but make me feel a little bit nostalgic. I'm pretty sick of all the rain in Vancouver (hereby known as Raincouver).</div>

Lucky for me, Korea and Calgary taught me how to layer for the weirdly cold, rainy weather. My favorite way? Layering a light top under a thicker sweater. If in Calgary, be warned – you're gonna need two light tops under that sweater... and a jacket on top. While there's no snow in Vancouver, this outfit's been on rotation nearly every weekend. The pleated midi skirt is fun to run around the city in, and works well to tuck a thick sweater in. If it gets too warm during the day, I just take the sweater off to reveal a white t-shirt, or this thin turtleneck. Et voila! – no jacket needed. (Bonus points if you brought a giant tote to store your sweater!)<br />

The search is over! I've finally found my perfect slip... after more than a year of searching. Seriously, the slip dress trend started all the way back in 2014, and after much resistance (who else is always super resistant to trends... until they start to die out?), finally became obsessed around the end of 2015. My obsession was taken to a new level when I saw a crushed velvet, <a href="http://www.aritzia.com/en/product/vivienne-dress/55838.html?dwvar_55838_color=11954" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">rust colored slip</a> on Pinterest last fall. I immediately put my search for a black slip with lace trim on hold, for a rust colored one (preferably in velvet, as I must grasp at the last vestiges of the 90s trend I succumbed to so late in the game).<br />
<br />
Evidently, I didn't find one in velvet (or I did, but it fit terribly and clung to all the wrong spots, as is wont with velvet). A random look through the last of Aritzia's end of season sale, brought me to the new season's styles though, and I left with far too much. Obviously I deserved it all.</div>

Does anyone else think they move at the most inopportune times? It seems that now that I've resettled again, I've been asked to numerous events in my previous abodes. I guess I'll just reminisce instead... and maybe mope a little.</div>

I went back to Korea in January to meet some friends, and while there was an unfortunate mishap for most of my pictures, at least my friend and I were able to shoot in the oh so instagrammable Common Ground. I swear, this is my shopping heaven – Korean designers, whole sale retailers, and restaurants alike set up shop in these bright blue cargo boxes. While I knew about this since I originally left for Korea back in 2015, I never actually made it there. What can I say, I'm lazy, and Common Ground is a bit out of the way being by Konkuk University. And, needless to say, I am so full of regret. There were so many cute and unique styles, with much better quality (and a better price) than most of the offers in Myeongdong or Hongdae. I'm always late to party. </div>

I was also invited back to Seoul Fashion Week, unfortunately, with the start of a new job (and just having spent a ton there two months ago), I couldn't make it this year. Hopefully they'll remember me next year. Or for fall. </div>

Exciting news! I will now no longer have any snow pictures (that's totally a lie, there will be at least one more post with snow). I've officially relocated to Vancouver – a haven of greenery despite Canada's harsh winters.<br />
<br />
While I say I won't be posting so many snowy photos anymore, I don't know how true that is, as I seem to have brought the snow to Vancouver with me. Just call me Elsa (maybe I should go blonde?)?<br />

Snowy winters call for layering anything and everything. Last winter I was wearing long vests under chunky knits, but this year I've been pairing thin turtlenecks with summer tops. Camisoles, slips and anything with a deep v-neck is fair game. This velvet top feels super warm and luxurious... but I assure you, the wind passes right through. Another knit like this zara turtleneck, (and maybe some heattech under that) will help keep that chill out though. I'm actually loving turtlenecks with a plunging neckline, even if my sister says I look like a grandma... Honestly, I'm a crazy aunt at least!<br />

Nothing is more suited for the romantic hallmark holiday than a beautiful dress, and I've been wanting <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=532201198&pid=uid4100-23973210-84" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this Self Portrait piece</a> for awhile now.
</div>

<a name='more'></a><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Self Portrait is known for their feminine designs and quality guipure lace, and I've been obsessed since I first saw them on a few of the girls at Seoul Fashion Week last March. I was so excited to finally be able to try them on at Holt Renfrew when I got back to Canada! Of course, given the design and price, I needed an occasion to be able to actually warrant buying it, and my friend's upcoming wedding gave me such an excuse. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While I'll be wearing this dress during their nuptials later this year, I figured I'd style it for the winter temperature, as well as a bit of fancy weekend wear (because who doesn't love getting dressed up for Galentine's Day brunch?). Layering dresses over turtlenecks (and pants if you're really brave!) has been the trend du jour for the past few fall and winter seasons. And with the camisole style bodice, this dress makes for easy layering. A l<a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=485706996&pid=uid4100-23973210-84" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">eather jacket</a> is another easy way to make such a feminine, formal piece more suitable for everyday wear. And you just look way more badass, which is obviously a plus.<br />
<br />
To be honest, I tried to make a video of a few different ways to style this dress (because it is super versatile, even though it doesn't look it at first glance), but that didn't work out as well as I hoped. When I'm finally able to get a good filming setup, I'll definitely make one though! In the mean time, I'll just have to show you via pictures throughout the year.<br />

The weather is slowly warming up (I swear we've been going from balmy spring days, to sudden cold snaps for the last couple weeks), which means light knits and my favourite culottes. This outfit is so simple, and has been on rotation for basically all my lazy, but still need to look fashionable days – but to be honest, it's rather bland by itself. I wore <a href="http://casualncouture.blogspot.com/2016/12/pretty-in-pink.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">something similar</a> awhile back with a statement jacket, but this time I've opted for something a little more cozy and true to Uniqlo's minimalist style. </div>

Since the outfit is so simple, I relied on effortless and unique accessories to bring the look together. I love cohesive, monochromatic palettes, so I chose my accessories according to their undertones to match with the oxblood culottes – the Chloe Faye in tobacco, and an <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/series/frankie/dark-sandalwood-and-smoke#casualncouture" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">oversized watch</a> made from sandalwood.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This wooden <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/shop/women#casualncouture" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">JORD watch</a> is the perfect item to add a bit minimalistic richness to your outfit (or to flatlay on Instagram!). The watch is entirely wood except for the face, and makes such an interesting piece to talk about. There's actually two clasps, allowing me to wear this watch comfortably over chunky knits (just leave one clasp open), as well as more fitted without having to worry about it slipping off. As someone who loves versatile accessories, you can imagine how excited I was when I finally realized this. Admittedly, it actually took me a few days of wear before I had that "aha" moment, but I haven't taken it off since. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I'm also <a href="https://www.woodwatches.com/g/casualncouture" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">giving away $100</a> to spend on a JORD watch. You just need to tell JORD what your favourite watch is, so make sure to enter!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2016's trends of lace-up shirts and knits, and statement sleeves has followed me into the new year. This l<a href="http://www.zaful.com/high-low-v-neck-lace-up-sweater-p_223272.html?lkid=33426" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ace-up sweater from Zaful</a> followed me back to Korea, was worn often in Vancouver (gotta love living out of a carry-on), and is still on weekly rotation here in Calgary. </div>
<br />
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: center;">
I'm a sucker for v-line tops and details around the neck since I feel like they're more flattering than any other neckline on me. A v-line is super flattering for those of us less endowed in the breast department, as it draws the eye down. Due to the thick lacing, even though this particular sweater has a deep neckline, it's still quite modest looking and fine for a casual work environment. Not to mention how soft and warm it is! Is it any wonder why I want to wear it everyday given the sudden temperature drop again?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I paired it with a short dress (layers add extra warmth in Korea's and Vancouver's humid climates), dark denim, and of course my favourite over the knee boots. I actually wore the exact same outfit multiple times in Korea, and took photos. Unfortunately, there's an issue with my new mac reformatting my SD card, and the photos were erased. You can see some of the early photos on Instagram still, but I didn't transfer enough via my phone for a full blog post, and had to reshoot in Calgary.<br />

Happy New Year everyone! I've been loving playing with different textures in 2016, and I'm sure that will continue in 2017. To start – a new purchase I've wanted for a long time – a <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=605961776&pid=uid4100-23973210-84" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">feather skirt</a>!<br />
<br />
It's taken a while to find the perfect one at the perfect price, but Club Monaco never lets me down during their Boxing Week sales. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course, I've already managed to rip a few feathers off during a new years party, so I'm a little wary about wearing it again. I promise it won't just be sitting in my closet though – I have a lot of outfit ideas for it, just no going to parties anymore. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Even though it looks cold here, it really wasn't, so I couldn't help but drag a friend outside to take pictures of the falling snow. It's so pretty, right? And it's much more worthwhile to take pics in the snow than on a frigidly cold day with slush on the ground (if you follow me on Snapchat or Instagram, you know what I was doing today). I added a jacket and scarf just in case (I swear, my legs are the last to feel the cold) but I really didn't need them. I love the combination of leather jacket and soft feathers and wool. It adds a bit of structure and edge (otherwise known as streetstyle, right?) to an otherwise very soft and feminine outfit.<br />
<br />
I'll be leaving for Korea again on Sunday (it's always good to start a new year on a 12 hour flight), and I'm so excited to see my friends again (and make them take pictures hehe) for a couple of weeks. I may also be thinking about going ash blonde while I'm there. Any thoughts?<br />
<br />
Since it's a new year, I thought I'd ask you what you'd like to see me write about while I was there? Interesting cafes, shopping? More k-beauty related posts? Leave a comment for any requests or questions that I can answer!</div>

Trying to channel my inner Olsen twin all bundled up for winter. This outfit is the result of Boxing Day sales and a lovely gift from my sister. I saw <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww2.hm.com%2Fen_ca%2Fproductpage.0442185001.html&pid=uid4100-23973210-84" rel="nofollow">this jacket</a> at H&M a few months ago, and decided my search for the perfect wool, camel jacket was over. But I looked at the price tag and balked – $99.00?! My experience with H&M jackets hasn't been the best, and because this wool is pretty loosely knit, I was worried it would pill too fast to make it worth it. (I'm lazy and hate dealing with pilling, and then the jacket is tossed to the back of my closet to be mourned next season.) So I put it down and walked away, set on a more fitted, 4x the price coat from <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=600119876&pid=uid4100-23973210-84" rel="nofollow">Club Monaco</a>.

<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course that didn't happen either, and with a friend insisting we go Boxing Day shopping, I dropped by H&M again. And lo and behold – one oversized, camel cocoon jacket in my size. I snatched it up, along with a pink, wool jacket (also the last one in the store), and my winter closet was complete. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I posted this look on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/casualncouture/" rel="nofollow">Instagram</a> the other day, and a friend asked me if I had any tips for styling oversized jackets. Now that story time is over, read on to know how not to drown in the oh so trendy cocoon coat.<br />

<strong><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">1. Watch for bulk</span></strong><br />
<br />
One of the number one worries about wearing oversized anything is looking bulky. Layering too many thick fabrics together, or just wearing the wrong chunky sweater under a now too tight jacket is a recipe for disaster.<br />
<br />
The easiest way to escape this is to not layer. But where's the fun in that? The amount of layers and what you can wear under a cocoon jacket is of course dependant on your jacket. You won't be able to wear as much under something more fitted. This particular jacket has drop shoulders, so chunky sweaters aren't a problem. If the oversized jacket is more tailored in the shoulder, you won't be able to wear as many thick layers.<br />
<br />
As long as your shoulders and sleeves fit well, layer as much as you want. As soon as they start to feel tight and/or have limited movement, you'll need to wear something else under neath. Too tight shoulders = a bulky, ill-fitted mess.</div>

<strong><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">2. Oversize everything</span></strong><br />
<br />
This tip is a little trick, but it'll create a really cohesive look.<br />
<br />
With an oversized jacket, wear your favourite boyfriend jeans (I chose my baggiest – these <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=607743924&pid=uid4100-23973210-84" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">7 From All Mankind</a> Josefinas), an oversized scarf, chunky sweater, or even <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=537791127&pid=uid4100-23973210-84" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">oversized aviators</a>. Ultra chic streetstyle, no?</div>

<strong><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">3. Wear heels</span></strong><br />
<br />
Worried about looking short and squat in oversized clothing? The simplest solution is to wear a pair of heels.<br />
<br />
Shoes are the one thing I don't recommend going oversized on while wearing boyfriend jeans and a cocoon coat. You want the heels to be elongating, and ultimately slimming, and a platform sole isn't going to do the trick. A slightly chunky heel like these <a href="https://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=531613786&pid=uid4100-23973210-84" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sock boots</a> is both trendy and slimming. Bonus points if you go for a pointed toe.</div>

<strong><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">4. Add some height</span></strong><br />
<br />
While accessories can make or break an outfit, so can your hair.<br />
<br />
To add extra height and help balance out the width of an outfit, tying your hair up can be a godsend. A topknot or ponytail are easy to do (especially if you're like me and fail at even the most basic of hair tutorials) and will give the illusion of looking taller. Oh, and it's the poor man's way of creating a mini face lift, creating definition and making the focus on your face, not how many layers of clothes you've piled on to beat the snowpocolypse.</div>

<strong><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">5. Pay attention to length and never forget about the tailor</span></strong><br />
<br />
Where the hem of a jacket or shirt or sweater hits is important. That line can crop off unwanted weight, accentuate a waist, or make you look taller. This is different for everyone and different heights, torso length, and inseams is not something the fashion industry tends to account for. Especially fast fashion. For longer jackets (and even dresses), I find just above the knee to be the most flattering length universally. If the jacket or dress is longer, the hem should hit somewhere lower than the widest part of your calf.<br />
<br />
But as I said, fashion retailers don't take everyone's body into account, so what's a girl to do? Take it to the tailor. A good tailor will not only hem your jacket, but can also suggest further adjustments (such as added darts for shape) to make sure the coat is perfectly fitted and flattering for you.</div>
