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 ;)

Some Things Change

Hey There! I hope I didn't shock you too much when I showed up wearing pants in your feed this morning. It's true, I do not wear pants often, it's not that I don't like them. I do, I just find that with pants they have to fit perfectly or else they're uncomfortable or look terrible. I also have a hard time finding tops I like with jeans, I have a short torso, so things get weird.
Besides when it's summer and it's warm out my legs want freedom!!! But on a milder day I decided I couldn't resist the siren call of these bright pink pants. The colour is perfect for summer and with this thin, cotton, snake print tank top it was a comfortable combination. Throw a blazer on it and I was set for work! I actually really liked this combination, so there's a good chance you could be seeing me in more pants in the future ;)

White and Bright

Hey There Loves!! I hope you're as ready for the weekend as I am, it's Canada day monday so we get the day off. It's supposed to be really beautiful out too! I'm going to go out to the lake sunday/monday and relax, fish and soak up the sun with Mr.Duke, what are your plans?

When I saw this white blazer with the open lapels on the Jacob website I knew that I had to have it. It's the perfect summertime blazer, it's super lightweight, comfortable and goes with everything!! I don't wear a lot of white because I am incredibly clumsy but so far I have managed to keep it coffee stain free. I decided to pair it with this fantastic bright floral dress, and strappy sandals, the epitome of summer! Have a wonderful weekend my loves

Key Party

Good Morning Lovers, I hope your week is going very well and that you had an awesome weekend! Mine was really relaxing, which was much needed after the week I had last week. This one is going much better, and Mr.Duke seems to be getting back to his old self, which makes me ridiculously happy to see.

This key print dress is definitely one of my "go-to's" for summertime, I got it last summer and fell in love with how comfortable it is, the fact that it has pockets and the fit of it. It's so easy for layering and when it's really hot out is the perfect thing to just throw on and go! I decided to wear it with my blazer, and studded belt for a day at school and then out with friends. It was kind of a no brainer that I'd wear my new key necklace from the Weekend Society with my key print dress too ;)

Oh, Winterlong

Hey There darlings!! I hope your week is coming along nicely, mine definitely is besides the weather. It's been winter here since mid October and frankly I'm over it. However it's supposed to be ridiculously nice this weekend so I don't have to wait long for nice weather :) Oh, also realized I'm going back to University on Monday, that's pretty crazy. I honestly am excited, I've missed it! Because I'm a masochist, obviously.

 I was luckily smart enough to take these photos  in the morning on Monday when it was barely snowing because the weather got craaaazy. This is what I wore out for my mom's birthday dinner, we took her to Sorrentino's for the Garlic fest. My brother tried the Garlic beer and I must say, it was pretty overpowering and not great.  I really love this lace mint dress, but I want it to be warmer to I can wear it without a jacket, the lower back is such a great detail on it. I love the combination of mint and red, and will defnitely be doing more of that this spring and summer.

Frequent Flyer

Gooood Morning Loves, I hope you had a wonderful weekend! Mine was really good, got to get together with a couple of my favourite ladies and go out then since I worked most of the weekend I just laid low. Unfortunately now it's monday, it's snowy and it's really getting on my nerves. So here are my last photos from Vancouver!

I, like every other person, like to be comfortable when I'm flying but I also want to look stylish at the same time. Layering is incredibly important when it comes to travel because it can be so hot in the airport yet so chilly on the plane. I feel like this outfit balanced all these things out perfectly for me, I was super comfy, not too hot, not too cold and I can never get enough of this blazer. This outfit transitioned perfectly from an early morning flight to exploring Granville Island with my brothers

Life's a Beach

Good Morning Loves! I've only been home for a couple of days and I already miss Vancouver and my older brother. I seriously had such a great vacation, other than it was too short!! Vancouver is in full blown spring, green grass, blossoms, sunshine and warmth!

I apologize for how pasty white I am, but my legs haven't been tightless since September...that's an awfully long time! How happy I was to pull off my tights, and shoes and feel the sand between my toes. We had an absolutely wonderful time on Kits beach this day goofing around and taking photos, it was the perfect day. My brother used to live super close to this beach, we even hung out here on Christmas Day one year! It's the perfect spot, an amazing view of Vancouver and the mountains :)

I picked up this polka dot dress on sale from U.O. while wandering around downtown while I was there. I love polka dots so much, so I couldn't resist, even though it does almost match my pale complexion..I love the combination of black, beige, gold jewellery and a pop of red. My shoes were also red, but my toes were dying to be dipped in the ocean ;)

Pants Party

Hey there loves!! I am actually wearing pants as a part of a style challenge over at flock together, so head over there to see how all the other lovely ladies decided to style their pants!

 Here I am fighting the brutal dump of snow that we recently received with floral power! The power of florasl pants can go a long way, as my lower half believed it was spring. When I saw Melanie of Bornlippy rocking these Joe Fresh pants I knew I needed them in my life. I decided to pair them with my favourite blazer and simple black flats. They are officially my favourite pants, even though my dad informed me they look like something Don Cherry would wear (How rude!)

Kiss me, I'm Irish

Goood Morning loves! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and celebrated the Irish holiday by drinking some green beer or some whiskey. As an Irish girl (with the temper to prove it) I have a soft spot for ol' St. Patty's day. I didn't really do much this year, no mischief to be had, but having a beer and wearing green always makes me feel festive.

I got this green cat printed dress from H&M last summer and knew it would be the perfect shade for St. P's day. I decided to pair it with this awesome blazer and mostly black. I love this shade of green and am pretty happy it's supposed to be "on trend" for spring/summer 2013. Its definitely the right shade for a pale skinned, (faux) ginger irish gal like myself :)

As you can see we got MORE snow, and it appears that spring is going to take her sweet ass time coming here. It's a bit depressing as I am so over winter but at least I get to hit the coast for a few days next week!

Sassy Woman

Good Morning Loves! I hope you had a good weekend, mine was great and super relaxing. I worked, hit the gym and went neon bowling with a couple friends and my brother. I'm thinking that really helped me get better, being sick is the wooorst.

I asked my brother if I looked like I sold real estate in this outfit and he replied "You look like a sassy independent woman who don't need no man"....ummm, kind of odd, but thanks? Haha, see that's why I love having brothers, they will always say something ridiculous to make you laugh and confuse you from further questioning them on your ensemble.

I really do love this blazer, the colour is such a great pop against anything. I paired it with this awesome Topshop dress I got a little while ago, and it was a no brainer. I love when a look comes together with no fussing! It's really awesome to a have a few pieces that go with absolutely everything, and really finish a look
