"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 & 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.

If I Went to Prom...

Because my days of "proming" are far over and I still want to dress up in gorgeous gowns with extravagant hairstyles, this is what I would wear if I were going to prom this year! 


Everything shown is from Windsor.They have an awesome selection of dresses, shoes and accessories - especially for prom season.

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!

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.

Clothing Haul

I have another mini clothing haul, mostly from Boohoo.com. This is another new website for me. I have been browsing on it for a long time but never ordered anything. They offer free shipping to Canada and usually have some sort of promotion on for 10-20% off your order. I am always wary about ordering from new places because I'm not sure how there fitting or quality will be but I am super happy with how this stuff came out! I took a lot of pictures - sorry. 


The colour combination on this playsuit couldnt be more perfect for me. My two favourite colours! I also love the oversized baroque pattern. I would probably like this a bit more if it was a dress but since its so short a playsuit is much more practical. 

This basic tee is a play on the brand Céline & the #selfie obsession. I like the simpleness to this shirt. The cuffed arms are the perfect touch. This will be a great tee for the fall to rock with a pair of skinnies and a leather jacket.  Or for wearing on a lazy day to do errands. 

Sunflower Lace Pencil Skirt $15.95
This co-ord set is actually from Gojane. I wanted to show it off too but its the only thing I ordered from there so I threw it in with this bunch. I have been obsessing over these cute sets and have an event coming up that I wanted to get one for. I shopped around for a few weeks to find the best/most affordable one. I like this one because its white and black and can be built on with any colour accessories, shoes, purse and jacket. 


Isabella Scuba Zip Blazer  $50.00 $35.00 
I am so pleased with this blazer. It could not fit any better. So comfortable and fitted. The sleeves aren't too short, the shoulders aren't frumpy and its snugs in all the right places. I want this blazer in all the basic staple colours; white, black, grey, and whatever else they have! And yes, the zippered pockets are real. 

This blazer is exactly the same as the Isabella one except the texture of the material is "waffle" and the other one is just plain. I love the vibrant colour. Its a cross between fluorescent yellow and green.  I specifically bought this to wear with the co-ord set. An awesome pop of colour. 

I thought the pattern on this skirt was super cute. Midi length high waist skirts seem to be a thing these days and I wanted to try one out. The fit on this one is a bit weird. I think I should have gotten the medium not the large. Its a bit loose and bunches around my stomach/waist.  Hopefully I can find a way to style it so its not so noticeable because its very cute. 

Check out Gojane and Boohoo for yourself, they have some amazing stuff!

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

Strappy Sandals: Volcom


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 :)
