Channelling my inner Carrie Bradshaw

While I haven’t seen the telltale signs of spring in Ottawa yet, like the open patios in the Byward, and fresh produce at the farmers market, there’s one thing that tells me spring has surely arrived — the blooming of spring dresses and bold colours. You can stop holding your breath, its time to give the blacks and greys a well-deserved break. ‘Cause ladies, the season of bare legs and stilettos is finally upon us!

Though I always have fun when we shoot, this time was different. This fun, hot pink number emanated something fun and playful. When we were brainstorming concepts and locations for our Violet & Flora collaboration, CJ said that I should channel my “inner Carrie Bradshaw.”

Wait. What?

While I was pretty surprised at his SATC reference, looking at my gorgeous new Hughette V&F hanging in the closet, I think he nailed it.

Violet & Flora is an Ottawa-based brand that caters to the stylish Canadian woman in a few unique ways. While Violet embodies a young, fresh and carefree woman, Flora is the professional, classic and modern lady. In one way or another, don’t we all have various facets to our style and personalities? V&F is a lovely way to capture that.
