Love Pretty X LOFT Maxi Dress + Giveaway

Posted on June 16, 2014November 20, 2015 by Elaine

My post introducing the Love Pretty X LOFT Collaboration was a popular one and I’m excited to bring you part two featuring this gorgeous LOFT maxi dress.

It was seriously love at first sight when I saw this dress and luckily Zeba also fell in love! Often summer dresses are short and revealing but I choose to live in maxi dresses all summer long. They are so perfect to just throw on and look presentable for any occasion! I decided to take this maxi dress and style it for a more elegant event.

I thought this outfit would be perfect for an outdoor summer garden wedding. This LOFT maxi dress is very cool so you’ll be comfortable on a hot summer day but at the same time very elegant so it’s wedding appropriate. I paired it with a gold belt and gold accessories, including long gold earrings. The bright pink clutch adds some evening glamour.

While I didn’t tie the dress properly at the back, let’s just ignore that and look at the back key hole that you may want to show off with a pretty and casual up do!

Here is a close up of the front showing the key hole here too. I’m not sure how it would look on bustier women so if you are fuller up top be sure to try it on and make sure you’re comfortable with the amount of skin that gets exposed.

How would you style this dress?

Be sure to check out how Zeba styled this same dress for a casual shopping day out as the last part of our Summer #LovePrettyXLOFT collaboration.

I’m also very excited to share with you that I have an  AMAZING giveaway for you!

    I love how well this goes with your hair! My fave so far from the Loft collab was the statement necklace.

    I like the “Petite Tile Print Henley Blouse’, so feminine but also professional.

    Loving this on you with the colours etc and I agree its nice to live in a maxi instead of shorter skirt/dress lengths. The dress looks uber comfy as well.

      It’s SUPER comfortable! I forgot to mention that it’s lined too so you don’t have to worry about anything – even though the material is thin, you’re covered 😉

    Great job on the collab!!! My favourite definitely has to be the dress. It’s so stunning and perfect for the summer. The cutting is absolutely amazing and would fit most body types. Love how it is cinched right at the smallest part of the waist and there’s a slit on the side.

Come with me to pick up the art piece created from Come with me to pick up the art piece created from the flowers in my bridal bouquet! 🥹❤️

Getting my flowers preserved and turned into this incredible piece was one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning. ✨

Amanda and her team are extraordinary artists (and wonderful humans!) who give your flowers a new life and preserve memories. Every time I walk past this piece on my wall, my heart glows with flashbacks of my wedding day. 

If you have an important event that includes flowers, do yourself a favor and book with Parched to get them preserved. They accept flowers from across Canada, and have worked on blooms marking all occasions of life, from graduations, baby showers, weddings, and memorials. They can even create pendants using flower remnants!

If you’ve followed me for any length of time (or If you’ve followed me for any length of time (or met me in person for like 5 mins!), you’ve heard about my love for @lezethelabel 🤩

This brand is phenomenal. I love every piece of theirs that I own and wear a Lezé item almost every day. 

@lezethelabel is:

✅ WOC founded 
✅ Canadian
✅ Ethically produced 
✅ Sustainably made using innovative fabrics (like 🌽 or material made from recycled fishing nets!) 
✅ THE COMFIEST 
✅ Designed for real bodies! (Big pockets, lots of stretch, extended sizing)

The humans in charge are also incredibly kind and generous. ❤️

➡️ Since it can be hard to figure out sizing when purchasing online, I put together this little lookbook for you. Basically, I wear a L in their items made from their recycled fishing net fabric, but an XL in the corn, since they’re a little closer to the body and I like a baggier fit in that fabric. I typically wear a size 14. 

If you’re interested, check them out! And feel free to use my discount code (TORONTOBEAUTYREVIEWS15) for 15% off! 🔗 in bio. 😊

Dark circles? I don’t know her. 🙃 If you’r Dark circles? I don’t know her. 🙃

If you’re in the market for a new eye cream, I highly recommend checking out @sahajanskincare’s Golden Glow Eye Balm. ✨ It’s formulated with ghee (!) and feels sooooo silky and gorgeous. This powerhouse ingredient has been used for thousands of years in Ayurvedic medicine, and for good reason! This eye balm is mega hydrating but feels light and melts right into your skin 🤩 

In addition to ghee, it also includes rose oil and eyebright - these high-performance ingredients work together to reduce puffiness, fine lines, and dark circles. 

This Canadian brand is WOC-founded, and products are cruelty-free as well as eco-friendly. 🇨🇦🐇🌍

Have you tried @sahajanskincare yet?

I loved my long hair, but I was ready for a change I loved my long hair, but I was ready for a change. 💇‍♀️ @leeoc_hair at @thecellarsalon is the only person I would trust when chopping off this much! (I think it was around 10”!) If you’re looking for a hairstylist who is knowledgeable, talented, and the absolute sweetest, give her a call! ❤️

This bob is going to take some getting used to after my messy mane of long hair, but I already feel sooooo much lighter ✨

What do you think of the new look? 🙃👩🏻‍🦰

If you know me IRL, you know I’m a cleaning frea If you know me IRL, you know I’m a cleaning freak. 🙈🧼But, since I’m allergic to everything (fragrance, harsh chemicals, etc 😖) and also care about the environment, I try to find options that are natural as well as effective. 🌍🫧 That way, they’re gentle on my skin and the world, but tough on germs and dirt!

We’ve been using @nelliesclean dish sticks, stain stick, laundry soda for the past few months and LOVING them. ❤️ I even purchased Nellie’s Oxygen brightener recently, which is a bleach alternative that boosts color and keeps whites white. They WORK. (And look very retro chic!)

If you’re looking for effective, naturally-derived cleaning products from a Canadian company, I highly recommend that you check out @nelliesclean! 🇨🇦
