{Valentine's Week} The Pants...

As I write this, I'm slowly coming down from a sugar-induced Valentine's day high (you don't even want to know how many macarons I've had today!), where lethargy and writers block are apparently the main side effects. Mr. AiF surprised me with some special treats, bubbly and a homecooked meal, and now I'm crashing... hard. So with that said, it's time to wrap this thing up, people!

Thanks for baring with me through all this (V-Day isn't for the faint of heart, after all), and I hope you guys have enjoyed reading these silly little posts as much as I have had creating them... Until next time, love bugs! xx

{Style} Denim on Denim...

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great please that I present to you my very first denim on denim experience... Thank you, thank you. Now I know this is nothing new to many of you — and probably a source of contention to many more of you — but I am now officially on board the Canadian tuxedo express. I don't know what took me so long, but I'm feeling this look and in a big way. I guess you can take the Canadian girl out of her mixed denims, but you can't take said denims out of the Canadian girl... Or something like that. xx

Casual Sunday...

Sometimes there's nothing better than throwing on a cozy vest, some comfy boots and going for a stroll... Add a Pumpkin Spice Latte to the mix, and you've got yourself a rocking Sunday afternoon!

These photos portray just that (minus the Starbucks, unfortunately). They were taken on Canadian Thanksgiving Sunday a couple of weekends back, when Mr. AIF and I explored the river valley before returning home to make ham (for him), nut loaf (for me) and all the fixings in between.... It was perfect.

Man, why can't everyday be Sunday? xx

Shorts Story...

One item on my sartorial wish list (along with this skirt) has long been faux leather shorts... Thanks to H&M, I was able to check both items off my list this year. Not too shabby.

What's on your wardrobe wish list? xx

Hang Tough...

Who out there remembers (or if you're like me, still loves) the New Kids on the Block? Well if the early 90s in all their brightly coloured, geometric patterned, over-the-top glory rings any bells, you might see the link between my dress and the golden age of NKOTB... Or perhaps it brings a little Zach Morris to mind? Either way, this print is unabashedly early 90s and I couldn't love it more... What can I say, its got the right stuff.
