Home Away From Home

Everytime I go to Vancouver, I can't resist heading down to Kits beach to enjoy the sun, the ocean and the gorgeous view of downtown. My brother used to live close to here so we would always walk down, it's such a great place to spend the day reading a book or soaking up the sun. I haven't been to Vancouver in the summer in way too long, I think I am going to plan a roadtrip so I can enjoy the ocean properly.

This plaid dress was a fantastic purchase made at the beginning of January. It's super comfortable and is such a fantastic pattern; I can never get enough plaid. The nice weather had me more than happy to bust out my denim jacket. I think for the summer I'm going to get another one in a lighter shade, because they go with everything.

Mad about Plaid

It occurred to me over Christmas when my dad bought me that amazing plaid scarf that I do not own nearly enough plaid. I quickly righted that with a trip to the sale section at Zara where I fell in love with this plaid chiffon number. I have to say chiffon is one of my favourite fabrics, I am all about comfort these days and it's perfect for style as well as comfort.

I decided to add my blazer and heeled booties to dress it up a bit for a fancier day. I spend so much of my days in athletic wear that I can't pass up an opportunity to put on something a bit more spiffy. A pop of colour, a few punky accessories and I'm set ;)

A Few of My Favourite Things

So here I am again, wearing pants. It crazy how I spent almost all of last year and the one before that avoiding wearing jeans or pants of most kind. When I finally found a pair of jeans that I liked this past summer everything kind of switched for me. And when I picked up these high waisted leggings from Zara I questioned how I had lived without them for so long!
Not only are they incredibly comfortable, they're easy to dress up or down. Pieces that are versatile are without a doubt worth an investment! Paired simply with a grey long sleeve, my favourite two tone leather jacket, I added a pop of colour with this necklace.

Working With What I Got

Greetings from under the weather county over here. This sinus cold kicked my butt the first couple days this week, holy cow. And let me just state for the record, I am a giant baby when I'm sick, so sorry for everyone who had to interact with me. Thankfully I feel I'm on the upswing today, I no longer sound like a man so that's probably a good thing.
If it's one thing I love about fashion and blogging, it's coming up with different ways to rework my wardrobe. I am not a millionaire (hell, I'm not even a thousandaire) so being able to wear pieces multiple times is pretty important to me. Which is probably why I am ever so found of my crop tops, they work perfectly with skirts and work wonders when you throw them over a dress. This dress has been such a great piece for me this summer and I'm happy to see it transitioning into the fall as well.

PS. I'm also blogging over at Flock Together today!! Check it out!

I added my heart pendant to my weekend society necklace, they seem like the perfect match

Summers Staples

Good Morning!! It's friiiiiday, I'm so excited for this weekend, I have a wedding to go to. I love going to weddings, and I'm so stoked to have a couple to go to this summer :) This one is going to be awesome because I've known the one family my whole life!

This is one of my go-to dresses for those hot, humid summer days in the summer. I picked it up back in May and fell in love with the print and colours in it!! It's wonderful because it goes with everything, I decided to pair it with bright pink and orange thing time around. This belt is vintage from my New York trip, and I like the cowboy vibe it has to it. I'm not usually into "western" wear but in accessories it can be a fun accent

Shedding Skins

Good Morning!! I hope everyone's week is coming along nicely, mine has been super busy! I was on breakfast TV yesterday morning talking about spring and summer fashion with fellow bloggers Janis, Sandy and Zoe. It was a lot of fun and I posted the video yesterday if you wanted to take a look.
:)

I have been absolutely soaking in the summer-like weather we've been having over the last week, and good thing I did because we have rain in the forecast. It was definitely nice to bust out my summer dresses and strip off the million layers I have been bundled in for the majority of the last 6 months. I'm sure it seems scandalous to see me showing so much skin now. It was pretty hot out this day and I knew immediately this dress I bought from Zara would be the perfect piece, it's great on it's own because of the crazy print and all the colours. I decided to pair it with this beautiful mint purse and loads of jewellery for an easy summer look

Dazed and Confused

Hey There my darlings!! I hope your weeks are coming along nicely, is it the weekend yet?! I can't wait, and it's only wednesday morning...Oh no! But I am excited for my next day off, these photos are from my last day off which I spent on my best friends patio eating AMAZING homemade flatbread pizza's and drinking grapefruit flavoured beer. So tasty and it was basically the perfect afternoon.

I couldn't resist the print on this dress when I saw it at Zara, it's so colourful and springy! It's super light and really comfortable, I think it's going to make the perfect piece for really hot summer days (if that ever happens...) I decided to pair it with my denim jacket for a cooler spring day and of course my neon purse. Since this dress has basically every colour in the rainbow it goes with everything!

Skull Candy

Good Morning Lovelies!! I hope your weeks are coming along nicely, it's only wednesday but I really wish it was Friday, I think it's the weather. Cold, windy and we're supposed to get even more snow today. I have a consultation for a tattoo today and I'm excited, it's something I've wanted to get done for quite a while.

I picked up this awesome skull printed dress at Zara on sale a few weeks ago (before the ban) and I really love the print and open back. I can't resist a dress with an open back, and it helps that this one has such a lovely chiffon material so it's really comforable. It tends to scrunch around my ladies though (because they're so big, of course...) which is a bit annoying but I really love the dress. This purse I found at chapters of all places (broke the shopping ban then) it's such a wonderful pop of colour for this dreary January we're experiencing.
