YYT: Signal Hill

Dress: Zara // Jacket: Zara // Handbag: Chloe // Boots: Aldo

If you follow me on Instagram, you might have noticed that I have been spending some time in St. John's, Newfoundland. So why not take the opportunity to do some shoots while I'm here. This is the first of a few posts that I did with Naomi Cousins. It was so fun working with her and I can't wait for another idea we have brewing! 

I like to call this look "a modern day little house on the prairie". And if I look cold in here, it's because I was absolutely freezing.

Can't Be Suede

Jacket: Forever 21 // Top: Forever 21 // Skirt: Splurge Boutique - shop here // Sunglasses: Rayban // Boots: Guess

Let's talk about this skirt shall we. A great shade of green, soft fabric, stretchy material with none of that zipper non-sense and it's only how much?? Faux-get about it. Shop here!

Now if only my tee was as low maintenance as the skirt so my lack of ironing wasn't so noticeable.. 

Look Book: Pencil Skirts

There used to be a time where when you would hear "pencil skirt", you pictured a girl in a bun, glasses, wearing an ill fitting grey or black knee length skirt. Now you hear those two words, and the girl on your mind may still have a hair bun and glasses, but daaaaamn she's lookin' gooood!

Pencil skirts are a closet staple that can be dressed up, down, for work, or a night out. There is oh so much more than just the classic black skirt, I was recently inspired by Social Print Studio to create a lookbook of my favorite looks. I chose to use different variations of pencil skirts. With their collection of custom photo books it’s a great way to bring your digital favorites to life. Having a lookbook in physical form is a great thing to have!

No better way to ease back from a long weekend than a casual Monday. Overall, it's wasn't too shabby. 

Hit the Pavement

There are two things that make me feel accomplished, a solid process map and a great list. I've mentioned my "Thing to do before 30" list on the blog before, but there has been an addendum added. It's the "materialistic things to own before 30", which may be superficial of me but is just as important as the other list! 

A couple of months ago during a business trip to London is when I got to check off one of those items, the infamous red soles. On this spring day, they have hit the pavement.

Pleat and Thank You

Sweater - Tibi

Skirt - Club Monaco

Shoes - Call It Spring

It is burger week here in Halifax, which has entailed a little over indulgence over the past couple of days. Hiding under a loose sweater and an a-line skirt? Yes, pleat and thank you. 

Leather Weather

Wearing head to toe black can come across a little Wednesday Adams at times. It's those extra little details that make you look less like you're on your way to hang out with Lurch. The faux-leather pockets on this sweater do just that! 

Also, these jeggings have quickly pitched a tent in my "go-to" items section since I grabbed them at Rickis recently. I don't know how I can ever go back to wearing pants with buttons and zippers.

Transitioning

Booties - Zara

Bag - Louis Vuitton

Sunnies - RayBan

Cuff - Forever21

Ring - H&M

There are two things that are transitioning here - my hair is transitioning into more of an ombre and the weather is finally taking a few steps into warmth. This newly present sun is just like this dress - deceiving! I could be pregnant, bloated, or smuggling muffins underneath there and no one would ever suspect a thing and that's the way I like it! Additionally, the super comfortable almost sweatshirt like material of this dress was great today as the air was still brisk under the glowing sun. But hey, no tights, yippee! 

Happy Canada Day!

My First Born

If you remember from my birthday post, I was not too pleased about turning 25 so I bought a little somethin' somethin' from me to me to make myself feel better. Well 4 weeks ago, it finally arrived into my life and gave me joy I can only imagine new mothers feel. 

My personalized Louis Vuitton Neverfull may be the only baby I will ever need. And although I am just revealing her to the blogosphere, she has made several appearances on instagram - follow here!
