Wear all the white.


So I found these from like.. May.
It's Saturday. I'm pretty drained from a bad sleep last night.
So here's an outfit. Sorry it's not ideal, but I am le tired.

Little white dress.

American Eagle dress; Call it spring sandals

Sometimes a little white dress is enough. 
A minimal, no accessories, easy outfit.
It's summertime and things must be breezy in this heat.

Vacation recap.

In case you didn't know, I was on vacation all week last week. It was pretty fab. I tried to get out of the house most days, since I didn't have any big plans to travel. 

This is what I was able to do:

Celebrate Canada Day in the nation's capital. 
It's not every day you can stand in the middle of the street.

Bluesfest with a friend to see Jimmy Eat World (!!!)

A trip to Westport with a friend to have an adventure. And an adventure we sure had!

Another day at the beach where this happened...
Would you believe I even applied sunscreen (twice)? Yup. The life of a pale person.

Hit up a great spot by the river to read.

And went to Bluesfest a second time to see Tegan and Sara & Fun.
(that is fun. I was too far away for it to matter though)

Ahh, sweet, sweet vacation.


Story of my life. Literally.


More and more I'm glad to be able to share my life and stories on this blog rather than just pictures of my outfit. I came across a few interesting ways for you guys to get to know me better, and I'd like to turn some into posts.

Today I'm challenging myself to teach you a little more about me, by telling you the story of my life in only 250 words. Here it goes!

I was born just over 23 and a half years ago, into an amazing and loving family. I am extremely blessed and very lucky to have them all in my life. With my mom being French-Canadian, love and family is the most important thing in life and I've grown up to value it.

When I was 3 I started Kindergarten because I was born late in the year, and apparently I cried a lot. When I was 9 I fell off my bike pretty bad and scarred my knee. It's still there. That same year, I had my first real boy crush, and it lasted through four years of elementary (I don't stray!). When I was 9 I also met my best friends who have still been with me over these last 13 (almost 14) years of my life. I love them to pieces. 

When I was 13 I started high school and was obsessed with Good Charlotte. I went all "punk" for a couple of years (not a joke). When I was 16 I started to grow up and realized how complicated life was. I also started dating a boy who, in the end, taught me so many lessons about love, life and myself. 

When I was 17 I went away to University and graduated 4 years later at the top of my class. At 22, I was tasked with finding out who I was, what I was doing, and where I was going. At 23, I'm still trying to figure it out. Also, I have learned that life will always be complicated.

Your turn. Think you could sum your life up in 250 words? 

Breezy for the beach.

Forever 21 top; Winners shorts; Toms shoes

Quick and breezy beach outfit from the other day. 
Apparently I have a thing for crop tops right now.
And short shorts.

Insta-outfit.

So I've become that person. The one who uses instagram to capture daily outfits.
It's difficult when I don't have an empty street to take pictures on. It's hard to break out of that comfort zone.
So while I continue to fight the battle of outfit photos, here are some Insta-outfits I've taken recently instead:
Yep, that is a bra on my bed. Not intentional. Whoops

Feel free to follow along on Instagram @ itsmekelly!

Black and white and Toms.


What can I say, when my friends get behind the camera and ask me to work it, I perform. 
There were a whole whack of poses that were just too good to post. 
AKA I looked like a crazy person.

Also, my Toms are like my favourite things ever right now. Like ever.
