Suburbia.

I'm using anyone and everyone to take my photos these days. A quick visit to my aunt/uncle's with my family meant dragging my little brother out (again) to take some outfit shots.

Thankfully he's forced to love me :)

Scarves in spring.



Scarf c/o Louis Jane; Dress from Old Navy; Sandals from Call it Spring

I'm a sucker for a great scarf.
Like in the fall when all you want is something cozy to bundle up in? Yeah, that's me.
But I've never grown my spring scarf collection, which makes me a little sad. I mean, they're the PERFECT accessory to spruce up a minimalist outfit. This plain black maxi? Now spiced up with a gorgeous and feminine scarf.

I was gifted this Painted Lilacs silk chiffon scarf from Louis Jane. Louis Jane's designs connect light and energy to fashion, to bring our everyday outfits to life.  The artistic designs are unique and meant to embrace our soul and spirit. This particular scarf stood out to me the most - the lilacs and colours evoked spring, making it a perfect beginning to my spring scarf collection. The silk chiffon fabric is super light-weight and feels smooth against the skin. It's just a beautiful scarf, and a perfectly feminine addition to my wardrobe.
I am definitely in love.

Looking to grow your scarf collection? Louis Jane is generously offering 20% off your purchase with the code Save20.

The joys of online shopping.



Recently I got this high-low dress from Windsor. Oh the beauty of online shopping.

I loved the idea of a high-low dress for spring. When I saw this dress I was in luuuuuurve.
When I opened the package it was perfect. Then I put it on... This is what I didn't like about this particular dress on me:

1. The colour against my skin tone. Oh yes, I should have known. And maybe I did and just ignored it anyways.
2. How short it is in the front. I purposely selected these two photos because they didn't give anything away... But yes, I guess I'm too tall or something. Is 5'7" too tall now?
3. Can I just say again, the COLOUR. Ugh. Not good on me. I need a mega tan for this.

Don't get me wrong - the dress still rocks, but it's just not right for me.

Don't you just love online shopping sometimes?

My spring go-to & My happiness link-up.




I don't know if you've been able to tell, but this distressed jeans & tee combo is my favourite. 
I think I could live in this all year.
If only it was warm enough all year to get away with it.

Linking up with Sarah again today for my happiness project, here are some things that have made me happy this week:
- Having a short week. 4 day work weeks rock. Nothing like a long weekend to re-energize.

- This t-shirt. I bought it as a complete joke around Christmas. I think I've worn it at least once a week since. Considering the amount of shirts I own, that's a big deal.

- The amount of love that my Castellammare necklace giveaway is getting! Marianna sure makes pretty jewellery. 

Link up HERE and share what makes you happy =)

Coral and pink.



Joe Fresh cardigan; H&M tank; Forever 21 cropped pants, belt, necklace; Call it spring shoes

Just a work outfit. I love these pants - they're the perfect high waist. Right below my belly button, but fitting perfectly 100% of the way up. Nice work on these, Forever 21. You did good.

Do you have a pair of pants, that despite all odds, are a favourite?

Ps. Don't forget to enter my Giveaway with Castellammare Designs!

Likely a repeat.




This is likely a repeat outfit, but I honestly don't care. There's just something so perfect about chambray and black. Add a pop of colour, and you're set.

Knits and boat shoes.



It's getting warmer over here, folks. 
Temps in the 20's means good things. Very good things.
... Mostly it means a smile on my face.

Knotted.

Not much to say other than the next few weeks are going to be crazy!

This weekend I've helped my brother move, cleaned/painted my apartment, and joined some wonderful local ladies for a blogger brunch.

Next weekend I'm buying, moving and building IKEA furniture. Pray for me.
Over the next couple of weeks, I'll be heading to the new apartment to clean more, bring things and make the place liveable.

If I'm spotty around these parts, you know why!

Trendy bargains.



Suzy Shier denim jacket; Costco dress; eBay scarf; ALDO oxfords

So erm, I scored this pretty sweet t-shirt dress at Costco for $15 the other day. Even though I have a $0 clothing budget for the month. Thanks Costco for having random wonderful finds. The stripes are right on trend, the dress is the perfect length to be worn at work, and it is so ridiculously comfy. For serious.
I kind of want to go back and get the black one...


Spring inspiration.

Hey spring, I don't know where you've been but you haven't really been here. So... let's get a move on shall we?

Here are a couple spring outfits to inspire me in the upcoming months (hopefully) before it's +30 again.

Graphic tee + Denim jacket + Coloured jeans

Coloured blazer + Denim dress + Mixed prints


spring 2




.... Well I guess this last outfit could be +30 appropriate without that jacket ;) Maybe I am just dreaming for summer.

My best accessory.




My best accessory: Charlie. 

He often goes by the names: 
Charlie-bear, Charles, Charles Barker, Charlie Choo, Choo, Choo-Choo
...
I've probably given him a complex.

The classic trench.


GAP trench; ALDO oxfords; Tommy Hilfiger top; AE jeans

Can you believe I'd wanted a trench for four years and never bit the bullet?
I've decided I need to start investing in key pieces for my wardrobe. Staples. Things I hope to have around for a while.

This Gap trench is my first investment purchase. It wasn't even that expensive, but for someone who refuses to spend more than $50 on a coat, it was out of my comfort zone.

Either way, I am in love with it, and it loves me back. We've got a great relationship and I can't wait to start adding other wonderful key pieces to my wardrobe. Next up: leather tote bag and a good quality pair of sunglasses.

Lots of Layers.



How do I know this was an old post?

I can now fully see our driveway :)

#OOTD... and hair probz.


Dynamite jacket; Joe fresh top and pants

MY ROOTS! Ermahgerd, I don't even know what to do. I'm using clarifying shampoo and this demi-permanent is just not moving on. I've got a backwards ombre going on.

Think I could make it cool?

Winter knits in Spring.



Sweater: Forever 21; Pants: American Eagle; Shoes: Aldo; Sunnies: Dynamite

I was on Twitter and someone asked if it was possible to transition winter knits into spring. My thought? Of course! I've stocked up on knits this winter, and although I don't want more snow, I'm not ready to give them up yet. They're perfect for those warm days with a cool breeze.

So how do I work this transition item? I pair it with spring-y pieces of course! Boyfriend or distressed jeans are great to keep the outfit casual. I wore oxfords here, but you could throw in a pair of heels of you want to spice things up a bit. Lastly, put on your fav sunnies and you're good to go. I also rolled up the sleeves on the knit, mostly because I like to cuff everything I wear (see jeans also).

Will you be transitioning your knits into spring?
