The Taste of Toronto! What an experience!<\/span><\/p>\n

It was my first time attending The Taste of Toronto and didn\u2019t really know what to expect. I knew it would be outdoors therefore I came prepared with comfortable shoes, sunglasses and a crossbody bag to keep my hands free to hold the goodies I was preparing to feast on. The crossbody bag I chose for the event was a vegan leather Pixie Mood fringe bag that could be converted into a clutch purse for those quick day to night changes. I also prepared a pair of wedges and a pair of high heels, of course. Cuteness meets comfort was my goal.<\/p>\n

Here is what I wore:<\/p>\n

Day 1 | Media Preview & Opening Night<\/span><\/h4>\n

Day 1 started promptly at 3pm with a media preview where I got the opportunity to see and taste dishes before the doors officially opened at 5:30pm. During the media preview I also witnessed the Best in Taste Awards<\/a> live and met one of my favorite TV chefs, Chef Aar\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez.<\/p>\n

For this look, I paired my H&M Conscious Collection jungle motif pants with a black tank top and a yellow mesh cardigan. I seldom wear earrings but I do like this pair from Esquis earrings designed by an indie jewelry designer based in Montreal. I hesitated between wearing wedges or sneakers on the first day and am I glad I chose to wear the more forgiving of the two because we did quite a lot of walking.

Day 2 | All you can eat<\/span><\/h4>\n

On day 2, I opted for a chic yet really comfortable look. As this was the first full day, I wanted to make sure I wore something I could eat in without feeling self conscious about my growing belly showing! I paired one of my favorite red maxi skirts with an off the shoulder top. I kept my accessories consistent for most of the weekend: Pixie Mood <\/a>crossbody fringe bag, Welly Merck<\/a> watch and black & white converse sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
