This weeks haul video is actually a combination of two shopping trips. One to Yorkdale Mall and one at Shops at Don Mills. This video is 7 minutes long but essentially 3 parts. First I share my love of the Holt Renfrew Clinique Bonus, then move onto what I bought recently at the Gap and at Zara. Finally I share what I bought at Anthropologie.

Just as the previous video lighting continues to be my issue although I think I have made an improvement in waiting for a sunny day. Hoping to get this sorted out so that upcoming videos won’t have any yellowy feel. Below are pictures of the items discussed in the video so you can get a good idea of colours.
The blouses to the right are both from Anthropologie. I am loving the orangey Tucker look-a-like blouse. And the price! This style of blouse is quite voluminous so I tend to cinch at the waist with a belt. The colours are so saturated its fabulous.
The blue blouse is more of a t-shirt cut but the fabric makes is more dressy.
I mention in the video cinching this top at the waist as well, but the more I think about it the more I just like the loose feel of the top. It is more casual that way and more in line with my lifestyle.
The red tweed jacket from the Gap is something that is very classic. It reminds me of a Chanel suit but much more accessible in that it is from the Gap. It is a great statement piece to wear over top of a simple outfit.
The blazer from Zara is something I have been wearing with jeans but could easily be an excellent office piece. I don’t think you get the full effect of the dramatic shoulder when it is on the hanger. Watch for me to wear this in an upcoming video so that you can get the full effect.
Both the jacket and the blazer incorporate lady like elements that don’t scream out at you which I love.
Let me know which item is your favourite!
