Linen and Lace...

Now I don't know about you, but I can never resist linen... I don't care what form it comes in or how wrinkly it gets- I just want to surround myself with it all. the. time. It reminds me of my mom (a fellow linen junkie!), of Europe, and of glamour... Not a bad combination, huh? Throw in some lace, and you've got yourself a sartorial good time, am I right?

What fabrics make you swoon?

Forgotten Friends...

It dawned on me the other day that I hadn't worn this top in ages, so I decided to pair it with another neglected item from my wardrobe- my yellow Sonia Rykiel for H&M skirt. I bought it a couple of years ago, and although it doesn't get all that much play (understatement!), I love it all the same. Now I know what you must be thinking: "Well if you love it so much, Vickie, why don't you ever wear it," right? I guess we can just chalk it up to me being lazy... or neglectful... or both. *Shrug*

Do you guys have any pieces in your wardrobes that you love but never seem to get around to wearing? Tell me I'm not alone here, guys! xx

The Weekenders...

Hi lovelies! How is everyone on this beautiful Saturday morning?

Speaking of beautiful Saturday mornings, these pics were taken last Saturday during a coffee date with the lovely Natalie of I Heart This Blog. We congregated at our favourite coffee shop (oh who am I kidding, it was Starbucks!) and perched ourselves by the window, ready for girl talk and people watching galore... Fun!

Afterward we snapped some pics (because what's a bloggy date without pictures, am I right?) and shared some laughs over our awkwardness (group pictures are harder than they look!). All in all, a fun-filled morning ;)

What are you guys getting up to today? Happy weekending, my lovelies! 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...

Into the Meadow...

These photos were taken spur of the moment while strolling through the park... I wasn't necessarily prepared for them, but we were so taken by the lovely scenery that we really couldn't resist. Doesn't it just look like the dreamiest autumn backdrop? Not that I'm complaining about all the lovely weather we've finally been having, but all that golden grass made me yearn for the days of warm layers, deep hues and textured tights... Does that make me sound crazy? Maybe. But the grass is always greener on the other side.

Memory Lane...

I found this dress at the back of my closet, and doing so was like opening up a time warp or something... I had bought it yeeearrs ago, and loved it so much that I wore it to many an occasion. From nights out on the town (I had way more of those back then) to bestie-birthday parties where tails were actually pinned donkeys, this dress was there. So naturally rediscovering this old friend brought back a ton of memories... And at the end of the day, isn't that what fashion is all about? Expressing yourself while building the story of your life, one garment at a time.
