Cirque De Soleil Varekai

Top: Sirens

Skirt: Windsor Store

Heels: Sirens {similar}

Last night we got to go to Cirque De Soleil Varekai compliments of Anthony's mom. It was an incredible show, unlike anything I've ever seen before. We went with Anthony's entire family and rented a limo for the ride. 

As gorgeous as these shoes are, they are absolutely terribly uncomfortable. Luckily there was a lot of sitting involved. It's a shame really because I can't stop starring at them and chances are I won't wear them again. They will make a great decor item though! Thank god I only paid $10 for them, worth it for one nights wear and such a beauty to look at.  

This is a lot more cleavage than I normally wear but I was feeling edgy. I don't know why but the top just spoke to me so I created the outfit around it. I feel modest enough with the long skirt.

The humidity is so great right now that my hair is practically laying flat. I had it all curled much tighter and bouncier but within 20 minutes it was falling flat. That's one reason why I miss the cooler weather.

Proper Lady

Dress: Gojane -old-

Heels: Sirens {similar}

Watch: Michael Kors

Whenever I wear this dress I feel like a proper lady. The cross over low cut front and the bow detail, combined with the puffy sleeves gives it that womanly feel. The length and pattern help to make it more stylish, sexy and "youthful". And of course pairing it with these beautiful white wedges helps, even though they are white they still give the outfit that POP of colour. 

Effortlessly Chic

Top: Ardene

Skirt: Windsor

Hat: Brandy Melville {similar}

This weekend we had a Button Family beach day. I had a completely different (AND NEW) outfit in mind but since I got a really bad leg burn kayaking on Thursday I had to change it up and wear something to cover my legs. Thus this compilation of frequently wore pieces. This sort of outfit is my go to in summer. Maxi skirt, some sort of crop top and a floppy hat. So effortlessly chic. P.S I love me some tousled beach waves in the hair.

Scalloped Skirt

Skirt: Charlotte Russe

This past weekend we went out for dinner to the Mandarin where I got to try chocolate covered bacon for the first time.  It did not disappoint. I based my outfit around my shoes this time. These wedges are to-die-for. I can;t get over how comfortable they are. And I kid you not, they are literally the easiest heels to walk in and it's like a 4" heel! And no I'm not just saying that....Here's a close up

Triple Threat: Neon, Sequins and Geometric

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! 

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 $18.00 / Adidas 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?!

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! 

XOXO D ⚓

Happy June

Finally, the nasty months are behind us. Please June, Surprise me and bring me lots of good weather and memories.  That water makes me want to go swimming so bad. I need to start working on my tan or I'm going to look like a beached whale.

☀Bring on the Summer☀
