Ombré


Dress - Asos, Blazer - Vero Moda, Bag - Marc Jacobs, Shoes - Shoemint, Watch - Michael Kors, Bracelet - H&M, Necklace - Stella & Dot, Sunnies - Joe Fresh

I love ombré! When I saw this blazer, I knew it begged to be paired up with a white summery dress, or some denim shorts and a bright tee. It has a loose boyfriend cut, so it's perfect to dress down a look!

The weekend is almost here and I can hardly wait. My friend is visiting and we're planning loads of drinks on patios, tubing, the beach, and BBQ food! Now if the weather could cooperate...

What do you think of ombré? Still loving it, or kind of over it?

Free People Love






Dress - Free People, Shoes - Pour La Victoire, Bag - Gryson, Sunnies - Asos, Bangle - Vince Camuto (c/o Envy), Bracelet - H&M, Watch - Michael Kors

I'm such a sucker for a black dress. This Free People dress totally spoke to me when I tried it on last week - I love the cut out detailing, the knee length of it and the material of it is soft and comfortable. Ever since buying this dress, I've been literally stalking ALL the Free People dresses on Shopbop. It's refreshing change up what you usually gravitate towards with a more boho piece!

Thanks to my sistah for taking these pictures in the sweltering heat!

Black & Yellow

Dress - Mexx, Shoes - Shoemint, Necklace- Olive & Piper, Sunnies - Joe Fresh, Bag - Marc Jacobs, Watch - Michael Kors, Bracelet - H&M 

I seem to be wearing these Shoemint beauties in every post, but that's simply because they are the most perfect summer shoe! They go with everything since they are such a neutral color, and they're super comfortable! I was lucky enough to win them in a giveaway and I'm so happy with my choice.

Anybody else spend their weekend in the sun? Considering how pale I am, I only got a slight sunburn with SPF 45. But the fun part is, I'm actually starting to tan! Yay!

Happy Monday everyone!

Something Old, Something New

About a week ago, I went on an impromptu trip to Ottawa and Quebec City. I met up with a friend who was driving back from out west in Ottawa, and we made our way back home to the east coat by stopping and visiting friends on the way. I think there's something special about a last minute trip - no anxiety, no planning. I loved winging it! I had only been to Ottawa once for work, so I got to see the city a little better this time. And on Canada Day!

I only bought one thing on my trip and it is the Marc Jacobs bag in this post. This little gem was reduced from $800 to $100! I love that it's a pop of color and quite unique. And I'm surprised at how versatile it is. I've worn it to work for the past few days and found it pretty much goes with anything! If you live nears a Simons, check out their designer bags section (if that's your thang). I saw a Phillip Lim 31 Hour Bag (this) for $400! It was quite a steal, but way out of my price range.

Happy mid-week slump! Anyone else feel like it's Friday?

Warm Light


Dress - Old Navy, Shoes - Pour La Victoire, Bag - Rebecca Minkoff Mini MAC, Sunnies - Forever 21, Necklace - Simons, Bracelet - H&M

This weekend, the boy and I decided to work with the setting sun for these pictures and I have to say I quite like the effect! Too bad I'm not actually that tanned in real life!

It's been so warm and humid around here, I've given up on making my hair look half decent. And my hair is so thick, I pretty much have to tie it up. For days like that, I find breezy dresses are the way to go and this Old Navy number is perfect for that. You just need to throw on a white blazer and killer heels for a night out!

Happy Monday! Anyone else feeling bummed vacation is over?

Shifty


Dress - Asos, Denim Jacket - Old Navy, Necklace - J Crew, Sunnies - Forever 21, Watch - Michael Kors, Shoes - Marc Fisher, Bag - Rebecca Minkoff MAC Mini 

It doesn't get much simpler than this for work. I used to be one of those who only wore dress pants and button up shirts to work. Then I slowly realized that I'm much more creative than that, and could use my clothing to express myself a little bit more. I love wearing a black shift dress and dressing it down with a jean jacket - it's such a comfortable look for work.

That's it for now as I'm out of town with friends at the moment! Hope you all have a great day! 

Thanks to Kate for the pictures!

Most Worn



Blazer - Zara, Top - Jacob, Skirt - H&M, Aviators - Ray-Ban, Shoes - Zara (now on sale!), Necklace - Envy, Bag - Rebecca Minkoff MAC Mini 

Sometimes, you're really trying to be productive with blog pictures, and you fail. These pictures were the only (seriously) usable pictures I could put up. Most of the pictures were me doing some kind of weird boogie dance - I don't even remember why I was doing it! My sister and I couldn't stop laughing and a really loud crow kept distracting me. Yep, we were hella tired, so please excuse the mediocre pictures for the post today.

The title is most worn because these Zara pumps are probably my most worn pair of pumps! They are so comfortable and honestly go with anything. I'd be tempted to buy a back up pair since they're on sale, but Zara shoes come with replacement heel tips, so I think eventually, I'll just get the heel changed. If you're thinking of getting these, don't hesitate anymore! They're now on sale, and ever so practical!

Happy Canada day everyone!
