Palms and Polka

Jumpsuit: Zara // Handbag: Celine // Sunglasses: Quay

This post is brought to you by the letter P. Palm trees. Polka Dots. And the Perpetual need to try to say something Punny here but failing.

Resorting with Ricki's

If you have been following me on Instagram (and if you haven't, you obvi should), you may have noticed that I went on a 3 week vacation to escape a little bit of the cold that Halifax had to offer this December. Packing for 3 weeks was definitely challenging but thankfully Ricki's made it easier by offering me items from their Resort Collection before its release!

This is the first of 4 posts that will feature items from the resort collection from my time at the Shangri La resort in Oman.

Resort collection is now available here!

Top and Pant Set: Zara // Handbag: Tory Burch // Heels: Tory Burch // Duster: rw&co // Sunglasses: Celine

When your weekend Instagram scrolls have been dripping in #NYFW posts, you become a little inspired to start off the work week with a little more "look" than black pants and a blouse. And when your Monday web searches result in this find, you're feeling pretty pretty good about your choice.

Big Bold Bright

  Pants: Zara // Top: RW&CO // Shoes: Aldo // Bracelet: Swarovski // Sunnies: Celine

Humidity has been extremely high. Not only is that a tragic situation for the mane on my head, but also has made office dressing difficult (your clothes sticking to you as you walk between sites outside is no bueno). Wide legged pants have been a saviour in these situations! The looseness is as breezy as a maxi dress but still feel put together. 

Don't be afraid to stand out in a bold pair like these.

Style on a Dime

Blouse - Splurge Boutique - shop online here

Jacket - RW&CO

Jeans - Gap

Heels - Zara

A look inspired by Gigi Hadid but funded by a normal job. Heels, top, jacket, and jeans all total up to less than $200 on sale! Who says you need a supermodel salary?

60's Inspired

Skirt: Michael Kors // Sweater: Smart Set (RIP) // Boots: Call It Spring // Sunglasses: Celine

What goes around comes around: a Justin Timberlake song and a great way to describe fashion. Inspiration from past decades resurrects itself all the time even after we think something is officially dead. For example, I never thought flared pants would see day light again and now I am looking through the hoarder section of the closet to see if I could find a pair. This 60's inspired skirt is no different..although I replaced the go-go boots with some OTK suede guys.

Monday Blacks

Monday blues should really be re-named to Monday blacks, it is the colour of mourning after all. Although technically, this outfit was worn last Friday, it seemed fitting to post today. Here is the list of what I'm feeling black about today:

1. End of the weekend

2. Start of the second week of this death of a cough

3. Mucus

4. The pain I will feel during today's workout class

Based on my last few posts, it is no secret that I am in love with pastel shades. Pairing pastels with more "Autumn-like" colours is a  great way to continue wearing the hues without feeling like you are committing some sort of fashion crime (which you're not, wear all white if that makes you happy!). Light pink and forest green is just one of those colour combinations that in theory may not be that common, but in reality..well I'm in love. 

Next up on the docket? I'm thinking sky blue and burgundy!
