{Style} Coral Crush...

I've been super uninspired by my wardrobe lately, especially when it comes to marrying my desire for vibrant spring colours and prints with the fact that I still have a couple months of weather-related despair in my future... Le sigh. I tried perking myself up by concocting a medley of florals and polka dots — heck, I even threw in a pop of coral for good measure — but no dice. Looks like only time, or some unseasonal heat wave, can cure what ails me.

In other news, I'm going to be embarking on Kiehls' 10 day Midnight Recovery Concentrate challenge, so I'll be sharing any changes to my skin over the next 10 days on Twitter and Facebook... Follow along and join the conversation — I'd love to hear your thoughts if you've used the product!

Happy weekending, friendlies! xx

{Glitter Week} The Shoes...

Hello and welcome to a brand new theme week! This time, it's all about glitter... Because from clothing and accessories, to beauty and back, everything looks better with glitter, no?

I have a full week of glittery goodness planned for you guys, but let's kick things off (so to speak) with these sparkly loafers. They were a gift from my buddy Kastles last summer, and I couldn't love them more. Seriously now, they're comfy, cute and they take that whole "spring in your step" thing to a new level. What's not to love?

Thanks for reading love bugs, and be sure to check back in tomorrow for more glitter action! xx

{Style} Winter Walk...

Well my friends, it's Christmas Eve and I have an overwhelming urge to recite the lyrics to that adorably annoying Three Chipmunks song for you all... Luckily for you I know better than to do that, but I can't make any promises about Feliz Navidad — what, it's super catchy.

In other news, I'm totally obsessed with my new necklace from Sira & Mara USA, faux leather skirts from the past (remember this post?) and avoiding snow like the plague... Now that I'm back home for the holidays (and snow free, thank you very much) all that icky white stuff is but a distant memory. In a week's time, however, I'll be miserably braving the elements for outfit photos once again like in this post... Man, I don't know about you but I'm cold just looking at it!

Anyway, hope you guys have a nice, relaxing day no matter what you get up to, and in preparation for tomorrow, "I wanna wish you a Merry Christmas from the bottom of my heart." Hey, I warned you.

{Christmas Week} Seeing Red...

I don't know what it is about this time of year, but I always seem to revert back to eight-year-old Vickie in both mind and dress. Alarming maybe, but let's just chalk it up to the holiday season. Take this outfit for instance; I'm pretty sure I look like a kid who's watched too much Madeline, am I right? The barrett and school girl-inspired gettup aren't helping matters, but what can I say, these things happen. Now all I need is hot cocoa and day 19 of my chocolate advent calendar, and I'm good to go.

PS- Notice the atypical laughing photo at the end? That's because some random dude decided to photo-bomb me... How could I not include that?

{Details} Tie One On...

Can we just take a minute to talk about scarves? I don't know what it is about these little strips of fabric, but they bring me joy like nobody's business. There's just so many styles, prints and finishes to choose from that I can't help wanting them all... Not exactly helpful when you're battling Stuffed Closet Syndrome (commonly known as SCS), but I digress.

This Beta scarf is my latest flavor of the week, with its cute colour, skull motif and silky goodness constantly leaving me wanting more... And did I mention the whole silk thing? Sorry, but it bares repeating... Silk. OK there, I'm done.

Happy Wednesday lovelies! xx

{Style} Oversized...

Sometimes less is more, or at least that's what I like tell myself when I can't be bothered to do more than throw on a slouchy sweater over some skinnies... Hey, we're all friends here right? It's truth circle time. Notice the studded pumps and rhinestone necklace? That's how I cunningly convince the world that I care about my appearance when deep down all I want to do is curl up on the couch with my pajamas and a carton of ice cream. Well, at least the ice cream part is socially acceptable, right?

{Leather Detail Week} The Dress...

Leather detail week has come and gone, but I saved the best for last — This super rad Kersh dress that my pal Kastles was nice enough to lend me... Isn't it awesome? I love how it blends femininity with just the right amount of edge for a look that's classic yet decisively on-trend. Well played, Kersh.

Happy weekending, friends! And as always, thanks for reading... xx

{Leather Detail Week} The Leggings...

Next up for leather detail week is this pair of uber comfy leggings, complete with inner knee patches... Is that a thing? If not it should be. Any professors or bearded hipsters reading this take note: Stop showing off those elbows of yours and kindly turn your attention to the inner portions of your knees... Hot.

Happy Thursday, friendlies! xx

{Style} Flowers & Dots...

Sometimes the simplest outfits are best, while other times you just have to pack in as many colours and prints as humanly possible. I'd like to think of this particular outfit as a happy medium in that it's low key yet fun and super print mix-y (totally a word by the way). I mean why wouldn't you wear floral print and polka dots — with a splash of leopard, no less — on a casual day? My thoughts exactly. xx

{Details} DVF Love...

If details are the spice of life, then this little DVF clutch is the spiciest of them all... Hubba hubba. I bought this back in NYC because it was the prettiest clutch I had ever seen — I mean come on, just look at it! That colour, that style, those hot lips... Man I'm in love. And do you know how I celebrated that love? You guessed it my friends, with sugar and sweet, sweet caffeine... Let's just say I know how to show a clutch a good time. xx

{Style} Making a Statement...

October is nearly over, and let me tell you, I've never been more excited for the start of a new month to begin... Can you guess why? That's right my friends, as of November 1st my self-imposed shopping ban will lift and I will be reintroduced to the land of the living... or, well, the shopping. I haven't stepped foot in any kind of store since before the ban started (what, what!), so to say that I'm excited is a bit of an understatement... Whoever said material things can't bring happiness was a total chump. xx

Outfit details: top- Ralph Lauren (super old); bubble skirt- Joe Fresh; cap toe pumps- Zara; houndstooth tights- Joe Fresh; statement necklace- Zara; watch- Michael Kors; bracelet- random NYC find

{Style} Prep School...

It's been several months and I still can't get enough of these pants... I've worn them more times than I care to count, which pretty much makes them the best $30 I've ever spent. And if you think about it, that's quite the return on investment — waaaaay better than six lattes, a fancy lipstick or whatever else $30 gets you now a days (listen to me, I sound like Grandma Moses or something). I guess H&M is just trying to give their customers a leg up... Ba da bum cha!

Ok, ok, enough cheese from me — Happy Thursday lovelies! xx

{Style} Shooting Arrows...

When you can't shop, the next best thing is definitely sweet gifts in the mail from your sponsors... That's why I was oh-so happy to receive this Shooting Arrow necklace from Blackbird, one of the coolest jewelry shops around. I love their simple designs, rendered in geometric shapes with just the right amount of boho chic. Come to think of it, their stuff is like the perfect marriage between House of Harlow 1960 and Alex + Chloe, two lines I adore and wear on the regular... The result? Jewelry heaven.

So tell me lovelies, what's your fave jewelry line? I wanna know! xx
