Happy Monday Fashion Lovers! This week we will be looking at how we can wear one of this years hottest trends: The Cutout. More and more we are seeing fashionable pieces with various cutouts on them. These cutouts might me on the shoulder, the sides of the piece, or on the neckline, bringing a new modern vibe to a classic style.
In this weeks outfit we have a Funktional dress featured on our side which is in a beautiful emerald green and features some elegant cutouts on the neckline/collar bone area of an otherwise classic shirt dress. We paired the dress with a bright, bold lipstick, a great bangle and ring, and a colourful shoe. The simplicity of this outfit, makes it versatile and easily transitional from day to night time. So feel free to head from the office to a drink with friends.

Happy fashionable friday everyone! We hope you have all had a great week and are ready for the weekend! We wanted to end of the week with showcasing one of Spring 2013’s trends in a very cute and chic outfit. This week we have chosen the trend Stripes. This trend is great because it is extremely versatile. Big or small stripes, vertical or horizontal, colourful or just back and white, the possibilities are ultimately endless.
That is why we have decided to showcase a pair of striped high-waisted shorts that are perfect for Summer. We’ve paired them with a cute bootie, simple white blouse, and a pop of extra colour with the jewelry and bag. This outfit is perfect for an everyday look, if you want to go out to lunch or take a stroll downtown!

We all know of the saying “April showers bring May flowers”, and it could not be any more true for what we have been dealing with up in Toronto. The rain has been consistent, and frankly these May flowers better come sooner, rather than later, in our opinion. However, for the time being, dealing with the rain is a necessity and ideally we would like to do so in a fashionable manner. Therefore, we have decided to put together a cute, casual look for those rainy days.
A fun, vintage light coat, with some rainboots, jeans, and a cute umbrella is perfect for those rainy Canadian days. Comfort is key on rainy days, and that is most definitely achieved in this outfit in a chic way!
What do you normally like to wear on rainy April days?

Are we the only ones convinced that any music that comes out of the U.K. is just pure gold? This weeks band is from Dublin, and we’re just mildly obsessed. The band is called Kodaline, and their song “All I Want” literally just makes us want to stand in the middle of a field in a wicked outfit and let the music take over our bodies.
In their music, some older, vintage elements are definitely present, and it is no surprise that we, at Shoppalu, adore vintage gems. We definitely cannot wait to witness this band live, tears may be shed. The melodies seem to be sad, but are uplifting at the same time, which is extremely difficult to do in a non-cheesy way.
Kodaline is definitely one of the band that are on our playlist when we’re getting ready and making our fashion choices of the day. It’s a great way to start the day, being able to glide around swaying to the sweet sounds of this amazing band.

Happy New Week Fashion Lovers! As the weather (at least in Toronto) begins to seriously make up its mind on whether or not it wants to be Winter or Spring, we can’t help but excited for warm weather and the endless possibilities with cute outifts. Summer is quickly creeping up on us, and we have to act quickly in deciding what trends we are going to embrace in the coming season.
For now, we have put together what we think is a perfect summer outfit. Whether you are hitting up a wicked music festival or just hanging out downtown on a patio with some friends, this is the perfect everyday look. Casual, comfy, and chic with a mix of modern and vintage. This is what gets our fashion hearts racing and anxious for the warmer months.
Take a look at the outfit, and be sure to let us know what your favourite trend for the summer season is that you’re most looking forward to!
