When I received my Raven Denim Remy skinnies in Bordeaux, I was pretty over the moon. Not only is Raven known for its impeccable tailoring and quality, but the rich wine tone of these skinnies is one of my favourite colours of the season. I have been absolutely loving warm tones this winter and knew this Bordeaux shade would work seamlessly into the rest of my wardrobe. Sure enough, they’ve worked so well that I was able to pair them with both a cabin-chic outfit and a casually elegant look for my boyfriend’s work party in a single weekend.
Badgley Mischka bag, skinnies c/o Raven Denim, Sam Edelman wedges,
H&M scarf & sweater, belt from Mexico, vintage parka, Club Monaco headband
While up at Mount Baker, my lovely friend and PR girl about town Emaan took two minutes from our permanent station on the couch to snap these pics for me. I had been living all weekend in both my Raven skinnies and my mum’s goose down parka from the 70’s, so I just added wedges, a delicate scarf, and a femme headband to complete the look.
Wilfred blouse, Rebecca Minkoff bag, Michael Kors pumps, Club Monaco
wrap bracelet, bag c/o Social Experiment, skinnies c/o Raven Denim
Once we got home from our trip I had to drag my sick self out to Matt’s work party, so I reached yet again for my skinnies. The punch of colour and texture from the corduroy really anchored the rest of my look, which consisted of a sheer silk blouse, grey suede pumps, and a pearl and gold chain necklace. I’ve been loving the combination of purple with blue-green tones so my Rebecca Minkoff teal croc bag was a must. I can’t say I felt all that great throughout the excruciatingly boring/long party, but at least I felt comfortable and put-together. And obviously, looking good is the most important part. Obviously.
All right, need to run to class! Hoping all of you are having a great week so far!
I am absolutely loving both look! You paired the perfect colours with these skinnies, I love these pants!! And your scarf if gorgeous, as is the silk blouse in the second look. You look great for being sick!! Hopefully you're feeling much better now 🙂

I always love your outfits, and the colors are always so sweet 🙂 I love your new pants dear! I hope you really enjoy them and I can't wait to see you pair them with other outfits 🙂
i'm planning to come to canada this summer! thank you for the comment even if in the photo with the scarf i've a very stupid face! <3
Aw you're so lucky that your mum kept her lovely vintage things for you to wear. This parka is a classic winter staple. I'm admiring the rich berry tone of the jeans, you're so right about working it into a day and night look.
i don't know what i love most…they are both such great looks. but then again, you look great in pretty much everything!
The colour of those pants are as rich and warm as a glass of Bordeaux 🙂 Your day and night looks are both beautiful!
Oh, aren't you cold with all that snow on the ground!? btw, this is a good idea for a post. Fashion 101 is always good material 🙂

Those skinnies are perfection, pally. They fit you like they were made for you! I love both of the ways you styled them, but the party look has a special place in my heart because I'm oh-so-fond of that pretty pink Wilfred blouse. Plus, gray suede heels? Pretty much my favourite ever, as you might imagine, considering how obsessively I wear my own pair 😉
Cannot wait to see you this weekend, my love!

A jean has such a cool color, you did a good job of styling it. My fav is day time, I love the palette there and how you layer it. Simply beautiful

Those are such cute jeans, I love the change you made from day to night!
Nice pictures! I love it!
Such gorgeous looks!The colour palettes and mixing of different textures looks fantastic!
I definitely need to get my hands on a pair of those cords. I can't seem to find any that are very petite friendly (since I'm way too lazy to hem).
So cool to see a day/night post, always nice when you can change up your outfit but still be comfortable-Love that wilfred blouse, so pretty! And the "night" necklace is just so pretty,
