Field Of Love

Hello My Fashionista’s,

A few weeks ago, I attended my friends Tarn and Mike’s wedding with my boyfriend Jiwan.  Before heading to the venue we decided to do a quick outfit of the day shoot.  We found a beautiful open field and literally shot these images in 10 minutes (it was so much fun!).  Jiwan and I will be doing a lot more fashion posts together, so if you have any blogpost idea’s you would like us to do let me know! 

The outfit I am wearing is from my own clothing boutique, Anaya Couture. If you have a special event coming up and would like me to design something similar for you, contact me at anayacouture@gmail.com or via Facebook to set up an appointment.  I always recommend that you set up an appointment ASAP to ensure your outfit will be ready before your special event.

Bombay Dreams



I recently attended my close friend Ruchika's wedding a few weeks ago with my boyfriend and wanted to share this special post.

I designed my outfit as part of my personal custom made clothing boutique - Anaya Couture.  If you are interested in getting a custom made outfit made for your special event, make sure you contact me!  I truly love designing outfits and making my customers fashion dreams/designs come to life.  

 FASHION TIP: To match or not to match? 

Personally when I attend a formal event I always prefer to match my outfit with my boyfriends. I feel it is a way for a couple to look and feel like a cohesive unit. It is also just visually more appealing, especially when you look back at the pictures you've taken.

Luckily for me my boyfriend also likes when our outfits coordinate.  So when we attend special events our final outfit choices are ones that we have both equally contributed to (ok, maybe I have a little more say). ;)

There are simple ways to cordinate with your date, whether it's matching his dress shirt, tie, or pocket square it all works.  For example, in this case we decided to match his tie and pocket square with my outfit.  I took my outfit to Le Chateau and literally held it beside all the colour choices and selected the closest colour.  To me this is always the easiest way to ensure the colours actually match. If you go by memory there is a potential risk of selecting the wrong colour.

If this is a little overwhemling for you don't hesitate to ask the sales associate; they usually have a eye for fashion and can provide you with a few options.

Save Your Soles ;)


Whether you are a girl who loves her flats or one who can ONLY be seen in her high stilettos, a nice pair of shoes can always complement any outfit.  Some girls wish for a closet full of shoes while others are more practical and satisfied with just owning a few.

For me personally, when I invest in a pair of shoes, they must reflect my style and personality in order to ensure I will get the most wear/value out of them.  Throughout the years I have learned never to buy a pair of shoes (or any clothing item for that matter) just for the sake of buying them.  If I “kinda” like a pair of shoes I know it is wise just to walk away, as they will likely be a wasted purchase that I will probably end up donating or giving away.

However, when I do LOVE a pair, I am not kidding when I say I will literally wear them out until their “death." 

Luckily I found a product that extends the life of your shoes, which means you can wait a little longer to say farewell to those favourite kicks.

Product Description:  Sof Sole's Sure Step helps prevent slipping on most surfaces while extending the life of the sole. Fits all sizes of shoes and improves traction for all shoe types. 
Product Website: http://www.sofsole.com/shoecare/surestep
Price: $2.99 (two pairs are included)  
Available At: Winners 

This product is very simple to use and I have included step by step instructions below: 
My latest purchase from the Zara Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

Ensure that your soles are clean and dry before you use the product. 

Each Sure Step product comes with two pairs. 

The grips come in a standard black colour.

Peel off the adhesive backing.  Be careful as the grips are fairly sticky.

Press the grips firmly in position.

Remove trapped air bubbles by rubbing front to back.

And viola you are done!

For best adhesion, allow 24 hours to set before using your shoes.

READY, SET, SPRING!

And Spring arose on the garden fair,
Like the Spirit of Love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on Earth's dark breast
rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.
- Percy Bysshe Shelley
