Pink, Blue & a Graffiti Wall or Two...

Hi lovelies! We took these photos last week while strolling around downtown Victoria in search of jobs... Although we didn't find any that day, we did, however, find the perfect backdrop for photos. This little alley boasts privacy (as far as downtown alleys go), graffiti and amazing afternoon light... What more could you ask for, you say? Well how about a little background info!

Evidently this alley is where shackled prisoners were led to the gallows, and is supposed to be haunted by not only them, but by a small boy who fell down an adjacent well many moons ago when Victoria was still a fort... Cool, huh? I guess I've been on a fair share of ghost tours in my day.

Tribal Dance...

Hello lovelies! How is everyone on this fine Saturday evening? Here's a look at what I wore today to run errands and grab a Starbucks with Mr. AIF... One of my besties gave me this rad Forever 21 blazer last night because, if you can believe it, she wasn't quite feeling it anymore! Needless to say her loss is my gain, because I'm absolutely IN LOVE WITH IT!!! I can't wait to mix and match this little lovely with all my other clothes, making as many awesome combos as I can. Oh, the possibilities...

What do you guys think of my red shorts? I bought them before leaving for Victoria but had yet to wear them... Go figure. I'm really feeling the colour and length (I don't wear short shorts!), and I love the material, even though linen wrinkles all too easily... You know what else? I just realized that we're nearing the end of the month, which means my "Was it in the Bag" contest is coming to an end. To be honest, I kinda forgot about it for a while there, but we might as well end it with a bang, right? The prize has been picked, and now all you have to do is tell me if the shorts were in one of those bags from way back when... A bonus entry will be given to those who guess correctly whether or not my Forever 21 blouse from the previous post was in one of the bags as well... Choose wisely, grasshoppers.

Wardrobe Wednesday... It's in the bag!

Hello lovelies! How is everyone on this fine Wednesday morning? The weather is awfully gloomy here today, so I decided to postpone my original idea for today's post (which would require some outdoor shots) and instead show you the bag my mom bought for me last week... You likey? I likey!

There's a chance I might be taking a little trip this summer (fingers crossed!), so I needed a little travel tote just in case... After all, silly me left her red plaid one in Edmonton! Geesh... Knowing my error, my super sweet mother found me this awesome bag and surprised me with it... I know, right? SO SWEET! This bag will be the perfect "weekender," and hopefully will hold just the right amount of carry-on goodies if (and again, fingers crossed) when I take that trip... Now if only I could just get around to renewing my passport!

What do you guys use when travelling? And more importantly, any fab summer plans you wanna share?? xx

Hot Pink Silk...

Happy Monday, lovelies! I hope everyone is enjoying a relaxing long weekend...

We took these pics a couple of days ago after grabbing lunch with my cousin and before gearing up for the big Canucks game... Yes, that's what my life has become these days: hockey-centric. You can thank Mr. AIF for that one!

Anyway, I wanted to keep things simple, and since the weather permitted, I opted for a tank, simple jeans and sandals... Hey sometimes casual is best, right? And when you're about to be surrounded by beer-guzzling, fist-pumping hockey fans, I think it's pretty much a must.

Black, White & Tan...

The other day Mr. AIF and I ventured down to Victoria's Fisherman's Wharf to get some seafood for dinner, and this is what I wore... It seemed like a perfectly good idea at the time, but I didn't bank on all the incredulous stares my pants would garner when I put them on that morning. Who knows, maybe people thought they were pajama pants or something... Regardless, they weren't exactly well received. I guess it's a good thing I can handle a strange look or two in the name of fashion, huh?

Prep School (Bloggers Do It Better)

Hi everyone! This is my submission for the Bloggers Do It Better "Prep School" challenge... What do you guys think? I had a hard time putting this look together (it required a tie/bow tie, and a vest/blazer) because it's so out of my comfort zone... I haven't worn a tie since grade 10! Good thing for Mr. AIF and his substantial tie collection, huh?

Wayfarers and Jumpers...

Well hello! How is everyone today? I'm about to go shopping with my mumsy (fun!), so needless to say I'm pretty excited... But before I do, I'll leave you with some pics taken a couple of days ago while exploring/enjoying the glorious sunshine.

We ventured up Gonzales Hill, which boasts one of Victoria's best views... There's a strange, stark white building there (I think it was a weather station or something), which proved to be a great backdrop for photos... And if you can remember back that far, I've actually taken photos there before!

Anyhoo, that's enough about me, what are you guys getting up to today? I wanna know! xx
