Big Red

 

I would run away to Vancouver again in a heart beat if I could at this moment. Tests, projects and commitments be damned! Even though they're getting snow right now it's still about 20 degrees warmer. Spring could not come fast enough here.

Bright red, grey and black are an easy go-to for me, it's simple but I love it. This outfit was so perfectly comfortable for traipsing around Vancouver on an overcast day. We headed to North Van in the morning for the most amazing pancakes of my whole life at Ethical Kitchen. Then we headed back downtown to check out the Olympic Village; I was surprised I had not been down there on all my travels. It was a lot of fun and such a beautiful part of the city to check out.

It's Pumpin' Blood

The first official look of Heart Month 2014!! I was walking past Bang On on whyte avenue last week when I caught a glimpse of a heart printed tee in the window and I HAD to go in and get one made for myself. I decided to go with a grey tee because they're perfectly versatile and a blue decal. I could have gone red but that seemed a bit too literal.

So here I am a hater of pants in the past as a convert to leading a life of two legged confinement. I think I just needed to find the right pair because these are super comfortable and don't make me feel like I can't lunge if I want to. And you better believe I want to. I love the way they can be dressed up with a blazer, heels and a fun necklace too. Easy peasy!

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.

Fresh

I can't believe this is my first post of 2014, can we all agree how quickly 2013 flew by? I feel that way a lot these days, that time is flying by! I do plan on trying to slow things down in the next year and really enjoy it.

I've been doing my best to enjoy my downtime while school is on break and have been happy to be able to go for long walks with my main man Mr.Duke and my family when the weather cooperates. On nicer days I love to bust out my leather jacket, and layer it with a cozy knit, like this adorable French Bulldog print sweater. It's always fun to add a bit of bling to any look like this amazing necklace I got from my parents for Christmas. It's safe to say I'm in love with it!

Casual Sunday

Good Morning my loves!! I hope you all had an absolutely amazing weekend and are enjoying some time off. I am doing my best to get some R n R whilst on my break from school, I'm feeling a bit under the weather but it's awesome to be able to just chill, read and watch movies! 

This is a super casual look today; I feel like my style is definitely leaning more to the casual side of the spectrum for everyday life these days. However, I still like to feel pulled together with pieces I can dress up or down. Having a wardrobe that's incredible versatile with every piece being comfortable really is the dream. And there is something just so perfect and quintessential about plaid or flannel in the winter time that I can't resist. Also, how amazing is this scarf that my friend knit for me for secret santa? Not only is it the perfect colour but it's sooo cozy

Christmas Colours

Good Morning there my darlings! I hope your week has started off on a good note, this is a particularly stressful one for me with several exams but by Friday I'm going to be as free a bird and I get 3 whole weeks off for Christmas. Which will be fantastic, filled with family, friends and FOOD!

Now that it's getting closer to Christmas I am totally in the mood for dressing for Christmas, red/green/white, maybe a reindeer print thrown in there for good measure? I ended up getting this gorgeous sweater from Jcrew a few weeks ago on sale plus another 40% off! I'm so in love with the dark green colour, and hounds tooth pattern, it's incredibly soft and easy to dress up. Add some layered necklaces, a bold red lip, gold jewelry and it's a simple look while still being put together

The Eternal Wanderer

Hey There m'loves, I hope your week is coming along swimmingly. Mine has been good, I've just been so tired though. I guess that's what happens when you're in school full time, work part time and blog. Oh and keep up with an adorable pup named Mr.Duke. I shouldn't complain too much, I really love being busy, because I'm a freak.

This "Wander Eternal" skeleton tank from the Weekend Society is quickly becoming my favourite casual piece. I love me anything with a skeleton or skull on it (must be my teenage angst bubbling to the surface) and the weekend society's pieces always remind me to look for adventure. I decided to style it in the typical Canadian fashion with a plaid button down, some ripped denim and my khaki jacket. All this snow has me aching for a weekend away in the Rockies! If you've never been to Banff or Jasper, you must put in on your bucket list, I'm lucky enough to live quite close.

Old Man Winter

Good Morning Lover's, I hope you are enjoying your long weekend today. I am super thankful for this day off to catch up on homework as I had to work all weekend. Also since it's Remembrance Day, I'm thankful for all those veterans and people who ensure I get to live a safe and awesome life!

So, can I tell you a secret? This sweater, it's from the boys department. No, not the men's department, the little boys department. That's right ladies and gents, I have the body of a large boy, who knew?! I was pretty stoked when I tried this skull sweater on at Joe Fresh and it fit perfectly, I knew my short torso and small bust would work in my favour one day! Distressed jeans, a cozy sweater, funky necklaces and boots are quickly becoming my uniform now that Old Man Winter has decided to hang out here in the great white north for the next 6 months.

Also, I may have an addiction to gingerbread lattes...Help?

Put a Bulldog on it

Good Morning m'dears! I hope you're all having a wonderful week, it's all down hill from here! Just a reminder to my Edmonton and area readers there is another fashion show tonight as well as tomorrow evening at the Transalta Art Barn for Western Canada's Fashion Week. I am super excited for the show this evening, it should be a good one ;)

I have to say the crazy dog owner in my is so happy French Bulldog prints are trendy this season. I will eventually have an entire wardrobe made up of duke print, muahaha. Does this solidify my status as Crazy dog lady? Perhaps...

Anyways, this leopard print blazer is the perfect way to dress up a casual look of jeans and a printed tank top. Not to mention some popping neon with these fantastic shoes. It's been a while since I wore jeans, but I must say I'm digging them more than I have in the past. I love the slight worn look to this pair especially.

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 ;)
