Girl on the Go

Hey lovelies! If you are still here, despite the dust bunnies rolling around Sare in the City, thank you for staying tuned!  I have a ton to update you on!  First off, school has been just crazy.  7 classes in one semester, I don’t recommend it.  But I’m getting through and learning  a lot.  Secondly, for awhile there I had a lack of creative juices flowing.  I bought about 10 magazines, watched a bunch of old films and luckily they saved me and got my creative self back up to par.  Sidenote…I recently did the art direction and photography for a photoshoot and I can’t wait to show you guys the images…they are insane!  Everything from the model to scenery to wardrobe and the overall whole team…everyone just rocked it!  Lastly, I have been using a lot of my spare time to work on my fitness.  Working out has been such a great outlet for me although sometimes I get carried away when my 1 hour work out exceeds 2 hours.  Oh well, you know I am doing something good for my health and wellbeing.  Anyways, that pretty much sums up my life over the past month.  You are all caught up.

Today’s outfit is simply a few of my current go to pieces.  A combination of comfort and style is key for a busy city girl on the go.  That’s why I find it key to have a few great statement pieces such as this coat/sweater/whatever it is that I recently picked up from H&M.  I seriously throw it on over anything.  And although at a glance it slightly looks like a housecoat…I still think it’s just great.

Thanks for stopping by!

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.

Wearing: Jeans old, Booties [Forever 21], Socks [Urban Outfitters], Shirt [Free People] also love this one, Chain [Brandy Melville], iPhone Case [Caviar Chic], Plaid Button Up old.

Happy Monday Loves,

Back to School

Hey Lovelies!  Well it’s that time of year again—back to school.  I have had a few amazing months spending time in my home province of Saskatchewan (as well as a few other spontaneous adventures across the country).  I made some AMAZING new friends, enjoyed the company of old friends, found a new love for fitness, worked for an amazing company, adventured, relaxed & refreshed.  Although the end of this summer is bittersweet, I am ready for a fresh start, new apartment (and roommate who is truly the most generous person on the planet) and new semester.  This year is my 3^rd year of Ryerson Universities Fashion Communication program.  I can’t wait to see what crazy material this year holds!

This outfit is what I would consider as a perfect back to school look! I paired an unexpected combo together—a dress & some funky denim from Free People.  (Ironically I actually wore this dress on my first day back to school last year.)  I love the neutral palette with a bright lip.  What does your perfect back to school look consist of?

A New Leaf

Hey lovelies! Wow, has it been awhile or what?! This summer has been a bit crazy for me.  I have been going through some big personal life changes and unfortunately something had to give, and that something was the blog.  My leave of absence was extended a lot longer then intended.  As much as I'd love to pour my heart out to you all about this roller coaster like summer, I figure it's best to just start this new leaf in my life expressing one of my greatest passions, fashion.  Hope you guys enjoy this look and thank you so much for sticking around and catching up with me on Sare in the City!  I'm so excited to be back!

Trust the Road Ahead

Over the past few years I've learned various life lessons, many of which were learned in the most difficult ways possible.  Through these difficult times I've learned in life it's important to trust that when the answer is no, there's a better yes down the road--what's meant to be will be.  You've got to trust the road ahead.

You know how I love my neutral colours but, I can't resist a great pop of colour.  I couldn't help but add the perfect pops of hot pink to this casual boho outfit.  I'm especially lusting over these fabulous pink UGG wedges I scooped up early Spring on sale.  They are just the right amount of pretty pink & total chicness.

Note: Please ignore my hideous tan lines via sunning all Canada Day.  I didn't realize how bad they were until I was uploading these images to my computer.  Oops! 

Wearing: Vest from Macy's, Wedges [UGG]--similar here, Top [American Eagle Outfitters], Jeans old but similar here, Free Spirit Bracelet from Anex, Lip Colour [MAC], Necklace [Forever 21].

I hope this weekend's path leads you to many moments of happiness!

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].
