Styling a Canadian Tuxedo with Black Suede Pumps for Fall

Black Pumps with the Canadian Tuxedo for Fall

It was all about the Canadian tuxedo last season: both the stylish celeb class (Olivia P.) & trash (Kim K.) were caught sporting the double denim looks with blue jeans & chambray all over NYC & LA. This, however, doesn't mean a good ‘ol Canadian tux can't be worn well within the current Fall 2014 season. Especially not in Toronto, Canada, if I can help it! Wearing denim on denim with black suede pumps is my second favorite way to sport the trendy jean pairing, right after patent nude pumps.

5 Reasons Karl’s Black Sandals Might as well be Designer Crocs!

Ugly Shoes Designer Crocs

When I come across ugly shoes, it makes me sad. When my eyes cross paths with ugly designer shoes (such as these black plastic “Glove” pumps by Karl Lagerfeld for Melissa) it just makes me weep. Quite literally.

Lace, Leather & Accessorizing Black Pumps

Toronto Street Style - Black Pumps, Square Diamond Shoe ClipsPearl and Gold Metal Bracelets

Like I've mentioned earlier, until, say, yesterday it's been cold here in Toronto (for those of you wondering, no, this is not an April Fool's post!). So this outfit was completely weather-appropriate. At least from the waist up.

Print on Pattern on Stripes & Patent Mary Janes

Toronto Street Style - Plaid Trench, Printed Pants, Cashmere Stripes

I'm a keen print & pattern mix ‘n matcher. So much so, that I think it's become a bit of a problem. It's like I'm in competition with myself to see how much of a mishmash of prints & stripes I can get away with. Nope, a minimalist I am not (although every now & then, a subtle attempt is made!).

Toronto Street Style Fashion1 - Skater Dress, Juicy Couture Studded Bag, Coach Booties

It's kind of nice to pop on a fedora rather than the everyday keep-my-head-warm tuque. Too bad they're just not as warm! Maybe they should make similar hats with ear-warmers? Actually, they do. And they are none too stylish, let me tell you. I dare you to Google search 'em!
