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?

Soho Attire

Hey lovelies! So last weekend I decided to take another spontaneous trip, this time to NYC (basically my American home).  I had such a blast visiting my best friend, Jaylene! Though the trip was only a few short days, it was nothing but sweet.  Here's a quick shot from a shopping/dining day in Soho.  I'm loving this dress I picked up in a boutique in Kelowna last month--baseball tee gone comfy pastel dress, ummm yes please!

Also, here are a few snaps from my Insta from the weekend in the city. Enjoy! Happy weekend! xo

 

Don't Quit Your Daydream

When life gets crazy, it can be difficult to take the time to enjoy the things you're passionate about.  A beautiful shoot in a blooming Toronto park reminded me to not quit my daydream--always make the time for the little things in life that make me happy.  I hope this weekend you take the time to do something that makes your wild heart happy.

Stefani

Unintentionally I feel as though I channeled a Gwen Stefani vibe into this look.  Totally loving the edgy coolness this black ensemble paired with braided crown & stunning Alexandra Jewellery creates.  Do you ever feel like your ensemble channels someone you admire?

City in Bloom

It's so great to be back in Toronto just in time to see the city in bloom!  Yesterday a couple of my girlfriends and I adventured Queen West area and took some time to enjoy the city.  After a crazy couple weeks of studying, traveling, events and a brief moment with the flu, it was nice to take some time to just relax and enjoy. This fun day couldn't be complete without prancing around in the beautiful blooming park in my favourite old graphic tee and a fun-flirtly pink skirt!  I think taking time to make sure you are happy and do the things you love is the best thing anyone can do for themselves.  Do something today that makes you happy!

Shopping is my Cardio

Hey lovelies!  How is your week going?  If you are in Toronto I hope you are staying warm.  We have seriously had the weirdest week, one day it's Spring and the next day we are wrapped up in a winter storm.  Needless to say, it is definitely rubber boots season.  These pretty pink boots will be on my feet until the snow is gone.  As for this super cute sweater, my brother bought it for me as a gift; it's so perfect, especially for this weekend with my mom.  We've been tearing up the stores this week and having so much fun!  What are your plans for the weekend?  Whatever they are, I hope they're fabulous.

Wearing: Shirt [J. Crew] similar, Sweater from Nico, Boots [Hunter], Jeans [Yoga Jeans], Bracelet [Kate Spade], Hat [H&M], Sunnies [Kate Spade].

Black & Blue

Black and blue can be a tricky colour combo.  I feel like for years people always used to say that if you ever wore a deep blue with black it was a total fashion faux pas.  Some people may still think that.  But for some reason, right now, I'm totally obsessed with this colour combo.  Would you consider this colour combo breaking the rules?

[Totally in love with my monogram ring I recently dug out of my jewelry box!!  I had it made when I was eight.]

Wearing: Top [Zara], Watch [Michael Kors] similar & also love this one, Scarf [Le Chateau] similar, Pants [Zara], Flats [Marc by Marc Jacobs] same but in gold, Necklace old, Bag [Coach] similar.

Office Inspiration

So Ty and I are finally getting to the last few details in our new place.  Everything is mostly done besides the office.  It's currently a blank slate, now to decorate.  I'm definitely thinking pastels, punches of gold and warm accents.  Here are a few photos of what's currently inspiring me for the office decor.  What do you think?  I'd love to get your opinions!
