{Wardrobe Wednesday} In the Bag...

I've admired Olivia + Joy's stylish yet super affordable bags for some time now, so when they offered to send me a bag of my own, I was beyond excited. This Viper Top Handle bag caught my eye immediately with its bold pattern and hardware detailing, and I love how much you can fit inside —always a bonus when you tote your whole life around with you!

A big thank you to Olivia + Joy for the oh-so thoughtful gift, and as always, thank you guys for reading! xx

Back to School with West 49...

Back to school is one of the most wonderful times of the year — whether you're in school or not. The leaves turn red, new stationary is purchased (arguably the best part of all — at least if you're a total dork like me!) and we get a chance to refresh our wardrobes with lovely new layers... What's not to like?

So when West 49 asked me to style a back to school outfit from their new fall collection, I jumped at the chance. The brand isn't traditionally my style, but their latest offerings intrigued me, especially this sweater. I instantly knew I had to have it, and my mind raced with all the different ways I could wear it. Since the weather is still rather lovely, I threw on shorts, a bowler hat and my trusty satchel for a simple, school-inspired look. The best part? As the months get cooler, I can easily transition this sweater by pairing it with pants and boots or patterned tights and a great skirt... Oh the possibilities.

I had lots of fun picking out my new pieces (and was seriously tempted by this dress!), and was surprised by how affordable they were (always a bonus, no?). All in all it was an awesome experience, and I would recommend checking out their stuff for some fun, casual basics, especially if you've never thought to look there before... You might just be surprised.

Go Time...

As you read this, I'm ransacking my closet, frantically packing for my trip to Greece. I'll be leaving later tonight, and couldn't be more excited... But that doesn't change my intense packing-related anxiety. I'm one of those people who likes to be prepared for anything; stinking-hot weather, a night on the town, Armageddon — hey, you never know. Another equally shallow thing giving me anxiety today? What colour to paint my nails for this trip. I've had my nails bare for the last week — which is normally unheard of — in anticipation of, oh let's just go ahead and call it 'nail day.'  Do I want classic red? Mint? A snazzy neon? I can't make up my mind and the stress is getting to me... Help!

If you want to keep up with my trip over the next two weeks, be sure to follow me on Twitter and Instagram! But if you would prefer the official recap when I return, that's cool too... Just enjoy the scheduled content I've prepared for you in the meantime. xx

Moonrise Kingdom...

I love Wes Anderson more than words, so you can imagine my excitement when Moonrise Kingdom was released not long ago... But try as I might to make it to a show, something always seemed to get in the way— until this past Friday, that is. Mr. AiF and I finally got it together and went to see what is perhaps the most darling movie ever made... Hands down. I only wish my outfit matched the momentous occacion, but hey, in my defence it was really, really hot. So this neon dress from H&M had to do... what can I say, it's well ventilated.

If you haven't seen MK yet, do so immediately!!! It's amazing... *sigh*

Wardrobe Wednesday...

I might be a little late to the Toms party, but at least I'm arriving in neon-y goodness, right? Although these aren't exactly my style — which is precisely why I've avoided them for so long — the whole comfort factor, coupled with the fact that they now come in neon hues, had me sold. Hey, better late than never, right? xx

Pink & Green...

What's white and pink and green all over? Well, me, apparently... But looking like a total watermelon is a small price to pay to the summer Gods, am I right? So keep the sunshine coming, and I'll stand in front of every bright green wall I can find! I know, I know, I'm such an altruist...

Happy Thursday, lovelies! xx

Past Meets Present...

Well hello there, lovelies! And happy long weekend Monday... If you're reading this, I'm probably driving home from Calgary, where I spent a lovely weekend catching up with family. Well, at  least past Vickie hopes so... You'll have to confirm that with future Vickie after the weekend's over ;)

Hope everyone had a fab weekend! xx
