Backyard

As the Fall season quickly approaches, I am taking as much spare time as possible to enjoy the last of the warm summer sunshine.  I am very fortunate that this summer I was able to spend much of my time outdoors in my very own backyard.  With lots of green space and a small body of water behind the house, what more gorgeous scenery could I ask for? Yesterday I enjoyed my backyard in one of my favourite summer pieces.  This white maxi with delicate detailing accessorized with a dainty layered necklace, I picked up on my NYC travels.  How are you enjoying the last of the summer days?

Neutral Zone

This crochet tank, recognize it?  I'm guilty of a re-wear from a post a couple weeks back.  As I had said in that post, it is one of my favourite summer repeat pieces.  I wasn't kidding!  Anyways, here it is again, but paired with more of a neutral palette.  Gotta love a great neutral palette with some pretty pastel pops of colour!  What could be more light & summery then that?

Wearing: Top from Uforia Muse (Regina, SK), Bralette [Brandy Melville], Skirt [Brandy Melville], Sunnies [Forever 21], Ring old but love this one.

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!

Summer Essentials

The official days of summer are only a sweet day away.  With this in mind, to kick off summer I decide to put together a few pieces that I would consider as summer essentials--a chambray button up, white lace shorts, fine gold jewlery and a strappy block heel.  I love how these simple pieces look so summery and put together all so easily.  What pieces do you consider as summer essentials? 

I'm wearing: Shorts from Marshalls, Chambray Button Up old but similar here, Heels [Macy's], Long Necklace [Walmart], Short Necklace my moms, Sunnies [Kate Spade] similar here.

Statement

There is no doubt that I love being able to find pieces that make a statement all on their own.  When I found this stunning romper I was super ecstatic as it's one of those pieces--everything from the fit, pattern and cute back create a fab outfit.  There are no worries when it comes to matching it with other pieces besides a few fun accessories.  I'm sure I'll be wearing this easy piece many times this summer on those days when I'm in a rush to get out the door.

Wearing: Romper [Marshalls], Heels [Macys] similar, Necklace similar, Floral Crown [American Eagle Outfitters] also love this one.

Summer Sweet Daze

Hey lovelies!  Life has been on a bit of a whirlwind as of late.  I feel like I'm in somewhat of a summer sweet daze.  I know, it's not officially summer but with hot temps & some pretty heavy humidity, I can't help but think summer has already arrived.  Speaking of which, the days have been flying by, I still can't believe we are already half way through 2014.    

I've been trying to repeat many of my favourite summer pieces lately by putting them together in as many different ways as possible.  This crochet top has been one of my favourite repeat pieces--I've worn it over a dress, over/underneath tops or simply with a bralette underneath.  Versatile pieces like these are definitely the best way to get the most bang for your buck.  Do you wear your favourite pieces in versatile ways or do you stick to one way of wearing them?

Wearing: Bralette [Brandy Melville], Crochet Top [Uforia Muse Regina, SK], Tanktop [Dynamite], Shorts [Brandy Melville], Sandals similar here, Ring c/o Bootlegger Temperance Collection, Necklace [Alexandra Jewellery], Bracelets [Forever 21], Floral Crown [American Eagle].

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]

Layered Up

There's nothing I love more then going on an adventure, whether is around the city I live in or someplace I'm vacationing, it's always so much fun to experience my surroundings.  The other day a girlfriend and I decide to check out some vintage shops here in Toronto.  Finding a really cool piece of something vintage is always so exciting to me!
I've been layering my wardrobe quite a bit lately because the Toronto weather has been pretty unpredictable, even the weatherman can't get it right.  It's definitely better to have more layers then not enough when it comes to hot sun, rain and wind.  Sheer layers have to be my favourite part of this outfit and any summer layering for that fact--get ready to see more of them throughout the summer months.

Wearing: Leggings similar here, Top borrowed, Bracelets made by me, Scarf similar here, Rings vintage, Sunnies [Forever 21], Earrings [Alexandra Jewellery] c/o.
