Geometric Elephant



Top: Urban Planet {similar, similar}
Skirt: Forever21 also styled here

This is a very simple outfit that I threw together for a football game. It was 31'C so I needed to dress light.  This style of graphic top with elephants and geometric designs is very popular right now and you can find them just about anywhere. Here are just a few I came across while searching for the link to mine: Oversized tee, cropped tank, and an oversized tank.  This skirt is actually too big on me and it will be purged in my upcoming fall wardrobe refresher (stay tuned!)

Repeat Offenders

Denim Vest: Forever21 -old- also styled here
Tank: basic white tank
Skirt: Plato's Closet {similar}
Sandals; Volcom also styled here & here
Bracelet: Forever21 -old-
Necklace: Forever21{similar} also styled here

Everything in this outfit is a repeat offender for me this summer. I literally wear these sandals all the time. They are my quick go to footwear. Super comfy, stylish and easy to pair with most things. Maxi skirts are awesome for summer. Very lightweight and easy to just throw on. And depending how you feel you can easily dress up or down.  

What are some of your summer repeat offenders?

Triple Threat: Neon, Sequins and Geometric

       

Top: Gojane {similar}
Skirt: Express 
Booties: Forever21

       
       

The lighting in these photos just don't do this skirt justice. The first picture is a close up I took to try and capture the neon green and how nicely it pops next to the black. This neon green color is one that is showing up in my wardrobe a lot this summer. I have a few other pieces in this color that I am sure I will be sharing soon. It seems to be the color that I am attracted to this season.  And of course I am wearing my favorite new booties from Forever21. They perfectly match the taupe base color of the skirt. As my mother would say - how serendipitous!

"Hobo" Chic




Dress: Forever21
Chambray Button Up: Bluenotes {similar}
Shoes: Converse
Watch: Michael Kors

This outfit is super comfortable and easy. It was perfect for a day spent working a secret project that involved a lot of moving around lifting and running out for errands.  P.S. I will share this secret project with you all when it's finally complete. I like to add dressier pieces like my Michael Kors watch to spice up the outfit and make it look more put together. Anthony told me I looked like hobo but what does he know about fashion? 

Happy Long Weekend! 

P.S.S the weeds in my backyard are out of control! Who has any tips to get rid of them? Needs to be pet friendly because this is also Coco's stomping ground...

Black & White Stripes



Top: Thrifted from Platos (Forever21)
Chinos: Bluenotes
Necklace: Ardene
Booties: Forever21
Jacket: Urban Behaviour -old-

























Can I just start by saying "how freakin' awesome are these booties?" I am literally in love with these and for the first time ever, I want them in every colour. Super stylish and versatile, not to mention very easy to walk around in. They are selling out fast so get yourself a pair soon! I apologize the photos aren't the best for showing off the booties so check out the link to see them in all their glory. These will be a repeat offender on my blog for sure.

Black & Purple



Dress: Charlotte Russe s/o {similar}
Necklace: Forever21
Sandals: Volcom

I love that this dress has tie string straps that you can self tie to any fit. The dangling bows makes for a cute detail to a maxi dress.  You can't tell so much in the pictures but my nails, necklace and ear studs are all shades of purple. A nice pop of colour to break up all the black! Today we had a family BBQ to celebrate some birthdays, it was perfect weather. 


Bejewelled Pink


Top: Forever21
Skirt:  Gojane
Wedges: Gojane -old- 
Wallet: Michael Kors 



On Friday we went to Niagara Falls for lunch. It is such a beautiful place. There is always so much going on and things to see/do. They have a lot of amazing back drop opportunities too! If I lived here my photos would be much more interesting. I am embracing this warm weather with open arms, I can't get enough.

Oversized





Leather Jacket: Urban Behaviour
Maxi Dress: Target
Bralette: Forever21 s/o {similar}
Boyfriend Watch: Gojane s/o {similar}
Sandals: Volcom

I will apologize right now, these photos are terrible quality. I was hoping with a flash it would be better but it made them quite blurry.  Next time I will take night time photos inside.

Tonight was the night of oversized items. I've got on my oversized boyfriend watch and boy is it oversized. It would fall off my wrist if I put my arm straight, but I still love it. The dress I am wearing is too big, I don't know what I was thinking buying a large. It was on super clearance at Target and I didn't bother trying it on.  To make it a bit more fitted on the top I clasped the back straps together with a bow clip. I paired this outfit with a pair of strappy flip flop sandals that I've literally owned for nearly 5 years. Still in perfect condition and they still sell them!

In The City

Skirt: Plato's Closet {similar}
Dog Tag Necklace: Stitches
Bracelets: Gifts

This past weekend Anthony & I went to Windsor to visit our close friend.  On our way out to lunch we walked pass the water front park and I figured it would make for some nice photos with downtown Detroit in the background. It was a gorgeous day out but a little bit windy! I'm glad I was able to get a good spring outfit in this weekend because we are expecting rain and storms until Friday :(

Boyfriend Jeans & Cats

Cat Crop Top: Urban Planet
Boyfriend Jeans: Hollister color s/o
Sandals: Birkenstock
Belt: Forever21

Today I learnt a lesson. There is a reason why women wear boyfriend jeans with strappy heels...its because the jeans make you look super short! I made a mistake of wearing flat soled sandals with this. We were just out BBQ-ing so no one saw (hehe). Sidenote: I am not ashamed of my birks, I live in these things. I was trying to go for casual comfy without wearing leggings or sweats. I also learned that I need to position my face away from the sun because there is far too much squint going on.  On a better note, its finally spring-like here! It was ~20'C out yesterday and today, the rest  of the week is following suit.

Spring Embellishments

V Neck Tee: Target
Embellished Vest: Forever21 -old- {other option}
Jeggings: Urban Planet -old-
Necklace: Forever21

Another Spring inspired Easter outfit....I wore this the day my family and I celebrated Easter. Again, it is very casual and comfy but works perfectly well for the occasion. Not to mention these pants are super comfy. They are a cotton jegging and feel just like I'm wearing yoga pants or fitted pajama bottoms. What more could you ask for on a day when you stuff yourself silly with food & desserts? My favorite part about this outfit is the little jewel embellishments on the breast pockets of this vest. It adds such a girly touch to an otherwise masculine piece. A trend I love to wear is a statement necklace with a plain t-shirt. You can find a lot of great statement necklaces for under $10 that look like they are worth a lot more.  What trends are you loving for Spring?

Suede Booties: Forever21

It's wing night at the Fireside Grill back home so myself and a friend went out for wings and beer to catch up!  My vest is from the store Plato's Closet. I have talked about this store in a previous post. It's a second hand store for current on trend items and brands. You can get some amazing deals up to 75% off of things you would see in the mall right now!  They will even buy your trendy clothes from you when you feel like doing a closet purge. There are a few locations scattered across ontario. If you have one in your town you should check it out.  Go to their website to see. Each store also has their own Instagram page where they post some new popular items coming in. I am obsessed with shopping here.

The Perfect Spring Sandal

It's still too cold to even consider wearing a open toe heel, let alone a sandal. But now is the perfect time to shop around for a pair! All the stores are/already have released a lot of their spring items because most of the world is not freezing still *crying silently* In my opinion, the shoe to have this spring is a warm brown colored platform heel or wedge with thick straps. This color is so versatile and you can pretty much pair it with any outfit. It's time to stray away from classic black footwear!

Here are a few affordable options:

 1.Peep This Chunky Heels  29.90 sale 24.47                      
2. Wrap It Up Platform Heels   36.00 sale 28.77

1 Dress 2 Ways

Formal
Dress: Forever 21 s/o
Blazer: Boohoo {similar}
Booties: Target
Feather Necklace: Stitches Outlet
Rose Gold Watch: Geneva 

Casual
Dress: Forever 21 s/o
Sweater: Bluenotes s/o {also styled here}
Rose Gold Watch: Geneva

It is still far too cold here to wear dresses, even with tights it's a daring move. I am dreaming of cute Easter outfits with pastel colored skirts and dresses but I think I will have to be more creative if I plan to leave the house at all! For those of you who have warmer weather, or are brave enough to rock a dress in "sprinter" (spring/winter) here is an excellent way to style your dress for formal and casual events.

OOTD: Leather & Pearls



T-shirt: Forever21 {similar}
Leather Jacket: Urban Behaviour
Jeans: old 
Wedge Sneakers: Charlotte Russe s/o
Necklace: Stitches Outlet {similar}

Tonight we went to the opening night of the movie Insurgent. I must say it was pretty darn good - better than the first one in the series. If you are a fan of post-apocalyptic/dystopian stories I highly recommend this series. Read the books too! 

My outfit tonight had some edgy inspiration and I added a necklace with a pearl strand to add a bit of girly. I love the edgy + girly combination. These sneaker wedges are super comfortable and I can walk around in them all day. I wish I could find them online but they were a gift from 2 years ago or so. They are a good item to invest in if you can find yourself a pair like mine. Also a good black leather jacket is a must have wardrobe staple, I've had mine for almost 4 years now.

OOTD: Cut Out Maxi

 Today we FINALLY got to go to Port Dover Beach! I have been trying to go since June rolled around.  It's about a 45 minute drive so it needs to be when we have a day off. And it also needs to be on a day when its sunny! The weather has sucked so much lately. We are getting a crap summer. So today was nice, and it was my day off so I convinced Anthony to bring me. We took the motorcycle down and made a day of it. I needed to create a really simple light outfit for the beach since we were on the bike. Obviously I need to wear protective jacket and full pants on the bike for safety reasons so this dress was perfect to just throw on over my bathing suit once we got to the beach. 

I originally bought this dress online for a friend as a gift but once it arrived and I saw it in person I had to go and order one for myself. So now we have matching dresses :P

We also stopped and had lunch at one of the coastal restaurants, this is what it looked like. Surprise, poutine!

OOTD: Family BBQ

On Saturday Anthony's Uncle had a Family BBQ for his Birthday and deck reveal. Anthony has been over there everyday for the past month working on this monstrous deck. Wish I had a picture to show you! It was a colder rainy day so this is what I put together. I had my hair curled, 20 minutes later they fell and within an hour my hair was straight again. The humidity is outrageous right now.

I love this denim jacket. Its very fitted and feminine shaped. The sleeves are the perfect length and its fairly comfortable for a jean jacket. The floral pattern on the top livens it up from a boring plain jean jacket.  The maxi dress is perfect. Its like a very long wife beater - fitted but stretchy. It comes in all sorts of colours too, plus it was only $15.  The necklace I am wearing has a similar vintage floral pattern to the jacket.

Small Haul




Hello! I may have done a tiny little bit of online shopping recently. In 3 weeks we have an 80th surprise birthday party to go to on Anthony's side of the family so I had to buy myself a new dress of course. In the process of looking at many different places I couldn't help but find other items I absolutely needed to have! 

I tried out a new website recently called www.tobi.com. Now, there prices may seem steep but they almost always have a 50% off event, and shipping is free to Canada which I love. A lot of places have decent prices but they you have to tack on a $20+ shipping charge. So this made me happy. I bought this stuff during a 50% off event (happens like every 2 weeks I swear) and of course got free shipping. I was worried with free shipping that it would take FOREVER to get to me. The website warned 4-8 weeks. So I set myself up to believe I wouldn't be seeing this stuff for about a month. It came in 3 days! I was super pleased and now Tobi is a site I visit daily to look for new stuff, and will definitely be shopping there again. P.S. they add new stuff daily.

Two Part Floral Skirt: $45.00 $22.50
The first item I got was this skirt. I thought it was super cute for summer and spring because of the colour and pattern. I like the added zipper detail! In the second picture you can see that they designed this skirt with a bit of a longer back which is awesome ! You can still rock a short body con skirt and not show your butt off! Especially for people like me who have bigger butts and need some more coverage. That was an excellent style feature. I got this in a large and its a bit tight. Sort of disappointing because they don't carry anything bigger. I will have to be careful when ordering any more bottoms from them.  

Love Child Platform Sandals: $78.00 $39.00
And I got a pair of shoes, shocking! I have been wanting a pair of these style sandal heels for the spring/summer and could never find the perfect pair online. Always saw other people wearing them, or in the magazines but couldn't find my winners. Well, Tobi supplied! As soon as I saw them, I put them into the cart! They also come in a dark brown colour. I just friggen love these! So cute for wearing with summer dresses and skirts. I did find that they were very slippery on my hard wood floor though! I also guessed at my size because they size in 35-40 which is new to me. I went with 39 and it fits like a glove :) 

They also threw these fake eyelashes into my bag for free :) who doesn't love free stuff?! speaking of my bag, the photo at the top of the page shows the black Tobi tote bag that my order came in (inside of a box obviously) I think that is such a neat touch! 

If you are into online shopping you should totally check out this website, I highly recommend. They aren't currently having a 50% off sale, but when you sign up they will send you a 50% off coupon to your email to use on your first order!  Check it out  www.tobi.com 

And of course, it wouldn't be a haul by me without any Forever21. I just got one item and it was the dress for the party. I have had my eye on this one for a while. The red colour is just so vibrant. I didn't have any excuse to wear a short dress in the winter so I just put it into my wish list and I'm glad I did because the price was cut in half and now I have a use for it! 

Iconic Fit & Flare Dress: $23.80
It's a bit hard to tell but there is a little tiny triangle cut out just above the waist line. Such a tiny cute detail that really puts that little something extra into this dress. How pretty is that red?!  Can't wait to wear this, just need to figure out what sort of jewelry to wear with this, because a necklace is a no go. I was thinking wear my hair up and get some dangle statement earrings maybe? Also, what sort of shoes? Any opinions? Help greatly appreciated! 

I am hoping to do a much bigger haul soon, perhaps in June. My lists are getting big and I want some staple spring/summer pieces. I am thinking maybe my next "fun" pay check. Stay tuned :)
