Dress Up

It’s almost time for Team RAOP to take off for the sun, but we figured we’d brave the elements and shoot one last cold-weather outfit post with our current favourite winter pieces first. Getting dressed can get pretty dismal this time of year, and I’ve been rapidly losing inspiration over the past few weeks, but recent investments in soft wool and dreamy silks have really breathed new life into my wardrobe. Of course my cute new vegan leather backpack from Shoptiques and classic Ted Baker booties don’t hurt either.

Now if only I could ditch the tights…

Dear DiaryDress UpOh so Pretty

The new year is all about new traditions, so we thought it was about time to introduce some fun new ideas here at RAOP. We fall for countless products and pieces over the course of a year, but some really stand out above and beyond others. Whether it be a beautifully handcrafted, locally-made backpack, or crazy glittery rings that match every manicure, we can’t help but pick favourites, and to bring 2015 to an end we decided it would be fun to get all of them together in one “best of 2015” styled lookbook.

Ladies, gentleman, kittens, and everyone in between- we give you our 2015 RAOP picks!

Dress Up

Playing dress up is easier than ever when the holidays roll around, and I’ve been incorporating glitter and sequins into almost everything I sport over the past few weeks.

Of course jewelry is not to be overlooked, and though I’m a team-gold girl all the way, I’ve been having a lot of fun adding this delightful pearl ring from Trollbeads to the mix. Perfect for the mermaid at heart, this delicate statement piece balances atop my fingers, and I think it looks especially eye catching when paired with a shiny new manicure and a party dress!

All that’s missing for a sparkly night out is a bottle of pink champagne!
