{Style} Casual Friday...

The weekend is here, and I for one am mega excited (yes, I said mega) to kick back, relax and maybe even do a little shopping while Mr. AiF's out of town. Hey, when the cat's away, am I right? Nothing crazy, just a thing or two to spice things up a bit... You know what else I'm particularly looking forward to this weekend? Uninterrupted, quality time with my old pal Netfix without so much as a peep about my (totally awesome) movie selections... Looks like it's just going to be me and Teen Wolf this Friday night — hubba hubba.

{Style} Hearted Girl...

A couple weeks ago I saw a pic of a heart sweater on my friend Kassie's blog and thought to myself, "Man, that's one cute sweater; I wish I had something like that to wear." About 30 seconds later I realized that I had a nearly identical sweater already in my wardrobe (last seen here) and that the only reasonable explanation for my memory lapse is that I hoard clothes like a mo-fo. Hey, what do ya do.

In other news, I'd like to draw your attention to my lips in this post... Notice anything different? You guessed it friends, I am sans red lipstick here. Not something I plan on making a habit of, but a fun little change nonetheless. 


Happy Monday, lovelies! xx

Floral Week: The Pant

In continuation of this week's theme, I thought I would bust out my trusty H&M floral pants one more time — Because really, what better way is there to rep floral week than by sporting these little lovelies? I've worn them more times than I can count, but they never seem to get old... What can I say, I guess I'm just all about the blooms, baby!

Happy (floral) Thursday, lovelies! xx

Insta-Moments...

What better way to end the week than with pretty pictures, am I right? So with that in mind, I'll leave you with a few of my favourite recent images from Instagram... I hope you like them, and more importantly, I hope you all have a lovely weekend! Muuuuah!

Cropped...

I'm kinda a big fan of crop tops, especially when they hail from decades past... Nothing beats an original (sorry, American Apparel), so scouring the racks of my local Value Village becomes something of an olympic sport where crop tops are concerned. This one was a prized-find last summer, when I scooped it up for only a couple of dollars in Victoria. And with the weather being as lovely as it currently is, I couldn't think of a better item to thrown on with shorts... Let the sun shine. xx

Down by the River...

This past Sunday, Mr. AiF and I enjoyed a lovely stroll by the river valley, followed by a late lunch at one of our favourite spots... It was a little rainy out, so we threw on some casual gear and set out for a little adventure. On the way we discovered some new places, saw a couple of geese trying to get it on (that was weird) and gawked over some seriously suggestive graffiti... Let's just leave it at that.

Happy Tuesday, chickie poohs! xx

Going Green...

What do you wear for a day of antiquing? Well according to this post, a mix of plaid and florals with plenty of green thrown in for good measure... Although to be fair, I didn't exactly come home with many scores (aside from a vintage Boggle set, that is!), so maaaaybe this wasn't the best choice after all. *Shrug*

Happy Friday, my sweets! xx

Laid Back...

How do you know you have nice friends? When you pester them incessantly to take your outfit photos and they don't smack you upside the head. 8am classes, countless deadlines and opposite schedules with Mr. AIF have left me seriously mooching photos off friends these days... Shameful, I know.

Even though I have a million school and work-related things to do this weekend, I plan on making time for a couple holiday lattes, a trip to the Farmer's Market with my love and A LOT of blogging... My to-do list is growing as we speak!

Happy weekending, my sweets... xx

Lost Summer...

Now that fall is slowly making way to winter, I can't help but reminisce about bare arms, open toed shoes and warm summer nights... These photos were taken in August when, ironically, I was yearning for cozy layers and thick tights. Go figure.

As much as I'm looking forward to the first snowfall and upcoming holiday season, I can't stand the thought of freezing cold weather and the endless heaps of snow that make up six months of the year here in Edmonton... Get ready for some snow-filled outfit shots!

But until then, I'll leave you with these images from a warm summer's night in Victoria... Much better. xx

The Equestrian...

Is it just me, or does it look like I'm about to go ride a horse or something? Preppy layers and riding boots conspired to create an equestrian look that I was unaware of until I wrote this post... Sneaky sneaky!

Happy weekending, my sweets! xx
