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!

Sew Hungry 2015 & OOTD


Top: Target 
Beach Pants: Billabong {similar}
 Platform Sandals: Tobi
 Turtle Gemstone Necklace-gift-

Today we went to the Sew Hungry 2015 Food Truck Festival. It was a beautiful day for walking up & down the streets looking at food truck menus trying to decide what to eat. We decided to only get dessert because we were low on cash an its about $10 for any single item.  We went to a truck called Festival Fun Food and got a deep fried cheesecake to share. Eat your hearts out...


An honorable mention for me was the Frankie Fettuccine Food Truck. They had a Gnocchi Poutine that was made with "Braised Veal, Fried Gnocchi, Smoked Quebec Curds, and Natural Jus" . I love Italian food and I thought it was such a different concept!

In The City





Top: Forever21 {similar}
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 :(

Plato's Closet Haul

This week we went shopping at Plato's Closet again! This time I sold some of my used clothing to the store ($38 worth) and put it towards our purchases today. You know what they say...One mans trash is another mans treasure. 

Lululemon Skort   reg 58.00  $25.00
The very first item I spotted in store was this awesome athletic skort by Lululemon! First of all, the pattern is so cute and summery my eyes were drawn right in. Upon further examination I was pleased to find it was Lululemon and that it was this super adorable skirt. Then I discovered the built in running shorts. Jackpot! Now I can look super cute while running and not flash the entire world. FYI the ruffles are on the back of the skort.

Under Armour Wind Breaker $20.00
Lightweight athletic jackets or wind breakers have become my new favourite thing, especially with the warmer weather upon us. This is perfect when going to the gym each morning when it's still not quiet warm out but not wanting to wear my winter coat. It looks great with a pair of  athletic leggings and my runners. Not to mention super comfortable and flattering. I couldn't find a reference price on this one because it's probably from last year but I'm guessing it's close to $100 retail.

Billabong Beach Pants reg $48.00 $16.00
These pants are perhaps my favourite find. While browsing through pinterest lately I saw a spring outfit that I just adored and it involved a pair of these palazzo pants. I was thinking where the heck will I find a pair of those? Luckily enough just two days later I stumbled upon these. They actually had a couple pairs to choose from but I liked this pattern best. Tip: since the material is so lightweight and thin, lighter colours/patterns are see through! 

Black Maxi Skirt $8.00
A black maxi skirt is a staple item that I'm honestly surprised I don't already own. I have one that is black & white striped however. I knew going into the store that I wanted one and knew they'd have one in some variety. This style is exactly the one I wanted because its the same style and "build' and - TBH, brand - as my other two maxi's which I love. Not sure on a retail price for this but I'm guessing $12.00 so not much of a steal here but still something I really wanted!

Sheer Neon Blouse $4.00
This blouse was on clearance at Plato's (Clearance on already cheap prices - I know!) I got it for 50% off.  When I saw this I had an outfit idea in mind so you should except to see a style post for it within the next week. It's such a simple cute top. The back has a cut out screen as well, perfect for displaying laced bralettes or caged tops. Neon pops of colour are a huge trend this spring especially when paired with neutrals.


Nike $18.00Adidas Men's Superstar 2 reg $110.00 $20.00 / Under Armour Sandals $6.00
These are 3 pairs of shoes that Anthony purchased for himself.  He will soon have a larger shoe collection than me! He got some amazing deals on these items. I don't have reference prices for the Nike's or UA but the Adidas were like 90% off. Need I say more?!

Boyfriend Jeans & Cats



click pictures to enlarge

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.

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

My Top 5 Spring Rain Boots

With yesterday being the first day of spring I thought I would do a spring inspired fashion wish list for springs most important staple...Rain boots!

1. Joules EVEDON $167.00 / 2. Kamik Jennifer Boot $79.99 / 3. Hunter Original Short Gloss Rain Boot $155.00 / 4. Hunter Asymmetric Color Block Boot $210.00 / 5. Joules WELLYPRINT $69.00

Why did I choose these 5? The first pair of boots are epitome of classic girly and I want them so bad. The Kamik boots come in all sorts of different vibrant spring colors and they are all so perfect. Nothing says perfect rain boots more than a bright yellow pair, am I right? Next, I love this swing on the classic Hunter boot. I've tried on a pair of original talls and with bigger feet it's a bit overwhelming. This color block pattern breaks up the appearance of a long boot and would help flatter larger feet. And finally a cute print/pattern was needed. Of course I chose one with dogs all over. It's easy to find a pair with anything that expresses your tastes.
