Final Cut

Top: c/o Ricki's - here // Skirt: Forever 21 // Shoes: BCBG

How I spend the final vacation day is typically based on what outfit I have left that I haven't gotten a chance to wear yet. This cold shoulder tee from Ricki's resort collection and maxi skirt were basically calling for a long dinner with mountain views.

Smell ya, Muscat. 

Ports and Prints

The boat is booked. Alarm clock set. Dolphin watching day is upon us! And let's face it, the vision of an instagram picture of a dolphin being dope in between mountains obvi crossed my mind. I was ready! That is until we went to the port and were told the trip was cancelled :( So instead we went back to the resort where I laid for hours on end BUT at least I got to do it in this pretty scarf print tank, which is now 20% off btw!

Kablam

Dress: American Apparel // Ruana: c/o Ricki's - here // Heels: BCBG // Hoops: Splurge Boutique

Spending my days by different bodies of water (tough life, I know) made me adopt an easier going outlook on night time dressing. The thought of my go-to combo of skinny jeans and a choker became daunting. This kimono-esque cover up was the perfect combination of “boho” and “glam”..yup, it’s pretty “blam”.

Best thing about this piece is that you could double it as a bathing suit cover up by day or to add a more relaxed detail to an LBD. Versatility AND under $30 – kaBLAM! 

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!

A Day at the Boulevard

If any of you follow me on instagram (if you don't.. what are you waiting for?!), you would know that I recently came back from vacation. Leaving the then snowy Halifax, to the Spring-like Jordan to the hotter than hot Dubai, it felt like I experienced all 4 seasons (and countless falafels and shawermas) in 2 weeks. While the temperature changes (and most likely shawermas) took a toll on the body, there is one thing I wouldn't let it affect - the outfit!

Here's a look at an afternoon stroll at the boulevard in Amman, Jordan. 

Overalls - Club Monaco

Not Feeling Fly

As I sit here in the airport lounge waiting for my connecting flight, I realize I haven't posted in a while! And what a better topic to post about than travel fashion!

While I wish that I was one of those girls that look so put together while travelling - perfect hair, make up and heels, I have come to the conclusion that I am just not. And you know what? I'm ok with that. I just wanna be comfy y'all!

Here are my go to travel clothing items:

1. A big cozy sweater

You never know what the temperatures are going to be like in airports and/or planes. Layering will allow you take your body temperature in your own hands! Plus, you can use your sweater as a cozy little blanky when you're trying to catch some zzz's on the flight.

2. Leggings

They're comfortable. They're not sweat pants. They'll make you look less bulky especially if you're going with a chunky sweater. I don't need to explain myself any further.

3. Kicks

Or any footwear that will require you to wear socks! There is nothing less appealing me to me than having to walk barefoot on the floor after being asked to take your shoes off by Security. Sock it up, friends!

4. Scarf

For the same reasons as the sweater. Plus, sometimes you just wanna dig your face into something to avoid Coughy McCougherson sitting next to you without looking like a Sars victim.
