Fallin' for the City

I am SO happy to be back in Toronto!  Every time I come back to this beautiful city I fall in love with it all over again.  Ever since I've been back in the city I have constantly been on the go--decorating my new place, starting up classes again & of course adventuring the city with friends.  It's safe to say I am loving life and this new season.  With the Fall season comes lots of layers which is a lot of fun for creative types like myself--it allows me to mix textures/prints together, a favourite thing of mine.  

Abby and I always have so much fun shooting together...the pic below pretty much sums up what half the time we are shooting looks like! Make sure to check out her fabulous blog for some pics I shot of her in this edgy/pretty dirty back alley.

Mermaid Style Inspiration

As I scroll through my Pinterest feed, there is no doubt I am inspired by the ton of mermaid type style inspiration.  So with a little inspiration and my own spin on things I bring to you my take on mermaid style.  As much as it would've been fun to make this a totally whimsical outfit, I decided to keep things on more of a practical side by toning down the brights of the water-like romper and pastels of the mani/rings/dip dyed hair with some bold black accessories.  I'm totally lusting over these black gladiator sandals.  They have sure been a topic of conversation in my life.  I can't go out in public wearing them without getting a lot of looks & receiving many comments--my favourite so far being "So how long does it take you to put those on in the morning?"  I would love to see your take on the mermaid trend--be sure to tag me on FB, Twitter and/or Instagram!

Nevada

Sunshine and sundresses go perfectly hand in hand.  When I received this flirty Nevada dress from Bootlegger's Temperance Collection I couldn't wait to prance around in it.  So yesterday when we were enjoying some beautiful sunshine in the city, my girlfriends and I decided to spend a little time in the park visiting and taking photos.  It was the perfect way to spend the early afternoon.  It's amazing how many beautiful parks there are in this concrete jungle, it's one of the things I love so much about this city.  What's your favourite park to visit in your city?

Wearing: Dress c/o [Bootlegger Temperance Collection], Shoes [Le Chateau] similar, Ring c/o [Bootlegger Temperance Collection], Scallop Bracelet [Kate Spade].

Live Free

If you follow me on Instagram, you'll have seen that over the past few days I made a very last minute, spontaneous trip home to the prairies.  Those days at home were some of the best I've had in a long time.  I was able to get away from the stresses in life and enjoy the simple things; swinging on a swing, walking barefoot, picnics in the park and singing/dancing like no ones watching.  Those simple activities reminded me of the things I take forgranted on a daily basis.  I am thankful for this time away as now I feel my heart is bursting with love and happiness!  It goes to show that true bliss can come from simply letting go of your struggles and just living freely.

Wearing: Bracelets made by myself & Dress [Marshalls]
