Weekend Warrior...

Yesterday Mr. AIF and I went to the Farmer's Market to stock up on veggies for the week ahead. We had so much fun walking around sampling everything from dips to baked goods and back... Even a mini pumpkin cupcake! Yum yum.

What did you guys get up to? Until next time, lovelies! xx

What I Wore: Shopping

This is what I wore to go shopping and hang with my friend Kassandra last weekend... I really like this dress (it's new!) because it's casual yet polished, and uber comfy to boot. I decided to pair it with my trusty Forever 21 faux leather vest and H&M fringe bag to toughen it up, and added a braided headband to top things off (pun not intended)... And there you have it! Shopping ensemble complete.

Happy pre-weekending, my friends! xx

All Tied Up...

Nothing says summer to me more than a tied-up top... Something about this look just screams beaches and barbecues, you know? Since I have about three days of fair weather left (Edmonton's mean like that), I intend to soak it all up in the appropriate summer attire... Bring on the tied-up tops!

Happy Monday, my sweets! xx

Back Again...

So after spending a lovely a summer back home on the west coast, I just returned to Edmonton (my home away from home) for my final year of j-school... We walked through the door yesterday around 10:30 am, and can you guess where I was by that very afternoon? That's right, my friends - the West Ed Mall! (My home away from home away from home... if that makes any sense). Sad? Maybe, but I had missed that monstrosity of a mall more than words! True Story.

Now I don't know if it was me trying to be good or my lack of sleep, but I walked out of the mall with only one thing: a salmon coloured H&M blouse. It was super cheap ($19.90!) and proved to be the perfect top for errand-running today. I love the fit (slightly oversized) and asymmetrical cut, with the back considerably longer than the front. I had wanted a top like this all summer long, but Victoria is slightly lacking in the shopping department... *Understatement*

What can I say? It's good to be back!

Baby Blues...

Hello lovelies! How is everyone today? I was super thrilled when the lovely people at Ella+Cathy offered to send me a top to style... How sweet is that? And speaking of sweet, here it is.

I love the colour, cinched waist and frilly details that make this tank undeniably girly, yet at the same time, super versatile. Before deciding on this particular look, I experimented by pairing it with everything from jeans to skirts and back, and believe me when I tell you that it pretty much looks good with everything. Not bad for one little tank, huh?

To offset its femininity, I decided to pair my new top with tweed shorts, a denim vest and black accessories for an edgier, more urban look. What do you guys think? I can't wait to incorporate it into more looks and see how much milage I can get out of it... Long live the remix!

A special thank you to Ella+Cathy for the lovely tank top- I absolutely love it! Be sure to check out all their offerings online, and follow them on Facebook and Twitter for updates and promotions! xx

The Summer Blues...

I bought this ruffly Forever 21 dress months ago to wear to a local event, and it hasn't seen the light of day since. It's not exactly my favourite dress, but since I haven't shopped much lately, I figured it was time for a little remix.... right? Right. With this in mind, I paired it with an H&M blazer that also hasn't had much play, and threw on some neutral heels to finish things off... Easy peasy. Now if only I didn't have to remix so much lately...

Pink Haze...

Is there such thing as too much pink? Hmmm....

In the Trenches...

Just a quick look at my outfit from yesterday... I bought this trench last weekend from the Gap, which was having a huge sale: 40% off already marked-down merchandise! Needless to say, it was a maaaaajor steal... Double fist pump!

So how is everyone celebrating the long weekend? I'll be volunteering at a local festival all weekend, but I hope to have a little free time to explore and have some fun... What about you?? Whether you're a fellow Canadian kicking it Canada Day style today, or a lovely American getting ready for the 4th of July, I hope you all have nice, relaxing weekends! Until Monday... xx
