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.

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.

Wearing: Top [Urban Outfitters], Jeans [American Eagle] similar, Sandals old, Earrings [Francescas], Sunnies [Forever 21], Bracelets made by me.

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.

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!

Pretty in Pink

Pink is my absolute favourite colour! So there's no wonder pink is the dominant colour in my shoe collection.  I find a lot of people are scared away from the vibrant colour so, I decided to demonstrate an easy way to accessorize with pink shoes without the colour being overpowering.  Here are a few looks which can be transformed from day to night.

Image 2: Rain Boots [Hunter], Bag similar here, Umbrella [Forever 21], Necklace [Target]

Happy Wednesday!

Shades of Lace

When you think Spring layers, you usually think light pastels but somedays there is nothing better then black.  I've been dying to wear this black slip I recently thrifted.  It actually works perfectly under this skirt I picked up awhile back for a whole 10 bucks. I'm feeling very festival-ish in this look, maybe it's a sign of me secretly being extremely jealous of everyone who attended Coachella, this year looked to be perfection, as always.  Have a great rest of your Monday. 

Wearing: Boots on sale [Call it Spring], Necklace [Forever 21] & Sunnies [Kate Spade] similar.  Everything else is old or thrifted.

Snow Day

There is something about fresh snow that makes the city look so magical.  I didn't spend much time in the snow this weekend as Ty and I had a productive weekend working on our place, as you may have seen on Instagram.  We've been living in this place for a few months now, but with our hectic schedules, it took us a while to get to some of our bigger projects.  It's so nice to see our place finally coming together.

On boxing day my mom and I tackled the mall, as we always do, it's sort of our tradition.  We found some GREAT deals including this bow blouse I had been eyeing up previous to boxing day.  I love layering it in these cooler months.  

Wearing: Coat [Winners] similar, Shirt [J. Crew], Blouse [Smart Set] similar, Necklace [Dyrberg Kern], Pants [J Brand], Socks [Betsey Johnson], Bag [Le Chateau] similar, Boots [Nine West] similar.

Thanks so much for stopping by & have a fabulous week,

Bubble Gum

Gloomy winter is the perfect time for a pop of colour in your wardrobe or beauty routine!  Nothings says happy to me like a pop of bubble gum PINK!  Though, I will admit I was a little hesitant at first on such a bold lip colour, it sure put a smile on my face on this wintery day.  How are you keeping the wintery blues away?

Wearing: Toque [H&M] similar, Shirt [J. Crew], Necklace [Forever 21] similar, Coat [Old Navy], Pants [Zara] similar, Boots [The Bay] similar, Sunnies [Kate Spade], Lipstick [MAC].

Tres Chic & Tres Hot!!

After finally finding this gem of a sweater, I couldn't wait to wear it!  No seriously, I couldn't.  Despite the HOT temps we've been having lately, I decided to rock my Tres Chic sweater.  It wasn't one of my best ideas to wear this bad boy on such a hot day so I'll probably be holding off on wearing it again until it's actually Fall, which might be difficult since it's totally a new fav.  Everyones been talking about transitioning into Fall lately but it's so hard to imagine when the weather is just so so so hot!

This weekend I'm off to Saskatchewan to spend some time with family and friends.  I haven't been home since May so I'm sure I'll have a lot of catching up to do.  I'm also very anxious for all the Labour Day festivities that will be going on back home this weekend...GO RIDERS!!  What are you up to this weekend?

Wearing: Pants old [Le Chateau] but love these, Sweater [Forever 21], Heels [Jessica Simpson] similar and also love these, Watch [Nixon], Sparkly Bangle similar [Michael Kors], Bangle [J. Crew], Bracelet similar [J. Crew].
