Zig Zag...

I bought this dress for Greece, but because I'm pretty much the most impatient person ever, it made it's debut a week before my trip... Hey, a girl only has so much willpower, am I right? xx

Yellow...

I still can't get enough of these H&M pants, even though I've practically worn them a million times before. This time, I paired them with a simple yellow blouse that offered ample ventilation (what can I say, it's hot!), as well as an old pair of sandals that had been seriously neglected lately. And with a little light accessorizing, I was out the door... Easy-peasy.

Thanks for reading, lovelies! xx

Anchors Aweigh!

I've always had a thing for nautical motifs, so when the nice people at eShakti offered to send me a piece from their spring line, I just couldn't resist this dress... The colourful chains and anchors really spoke to me, and the print was unlike anything I had seen before. So in the spirit of trying new things, I paired the dress with a belt and a striped blazer to add some contrast and, well, more nautical charm... Because really, what are stripes if not nautical — am I right?
 
A big thank you to eShakti for sending me this dress, and thanks to you guys for reading! xx

(Un)Easy Rider...

Recognize this skirt? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no... That's because it typically doesn't get a lot of play, what with its ever-rising slip that leaves me feeling oh-so exposed. Not fun. Regardless, I decided to give it another chance because hey, that's the kind of girl I am... The result? Let's just say you probably won't be seeing this skirt again for a long, long time.

Happy Friday, friendlies! 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 Summer Blues...

I bought this ruffly Forever 21 dress months ago to wear to a local event, and it hasn't seen the light of day since. It's not exactly my favourite dress, but since I haven't shopped much lately, I figured it was time for a little remix.... right? Right. With this in mind, I paired it with an H&M blazer that also hasn't had much play, and threw on some neutral heels to finish things off... Easy peasy. Now if only I didn't have to remix so much lately...

Meet Me at Sunset...

Stripes, red and white polka dots, leopard print... Those all go together, right?

Wardrobe Wednesday...

Well hello there! Notice anything new? That's right my friends, I GOT NEW SHOES!!! Not that I'm excited about it or anything... ;)

Sooooo? What's the verdict on my new Tahari sandals? Cute, right? I bought them at Winners for only $70 (cha-ching!), and I couldn't be more in love with them... I know I babbled on about cruise ship ladies in my last post, so forgive the recycled reference, but these bad boys make me want to board a fabulous Mediterranean cruise and traipse about on cobblestone streets, gelato in tow. Is it weird that a pair of shoes can evoke such a specific image in my mind? Why yes. Yes it is...

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?
