Wardrobe Wednesday: Arm Party Edition

Hi lovelies! For those of you that follow PSS, you know exactly what this edition of Wardrobe Wednesday is all about: major arm candy! And since Bloggers Do It Better, here we are... Sorry WW, you've been usurped!

Anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that you can hear me before you ever see me coming (*jingle, jingle, jangle*), and since packing on the bracelets is my MO, this challenge has by far been my favourite. I decided to keep the palate neutral and stuck with mixed metals, combining a few H&M bangles with a pack brass goodies from Aldo Accessories... And true to form, I threw on a vintage gold bangle for good measure! What can I say, the heart wants what it wants...

Don't forget to check out all the other awesome submissions and give them some blogity love! xx

Bloggers Do It Better: Neon & Neutral...

Well hello there! How is everyone on this lovely weekend-eve? My household has been very somber since the loss of the Canucks last night (Mr. AIF was devastated!), so I imagine my weekend will be of a low key, comfort-food-filled variety... *sigh*

Anyway, this here is my latest submission for PSS's Bloggers Do It Better challenge... Kristina prompted us to try mixing neutrals with neons, which I absolutely LOVE in accessories (hello, Marc Jacobs!) but hadn't really considered in terms of a full ensemble. But BDIB is nothing if not a giant push out of one's comfort zone, and so neons and neutrals it was.

I had just purchased this blazer from Zara the weekend before, so it was quite fortuitous that I not only had a neon item in my wardrobe to style an outfit around, but a new one at that! What can I say, it must have been kismet...

Outfit details: dress- Zara; blazer- Zara; sandals- Rachel Rachel Roy; eel skin clutch- vintage; necklaces- House of Harlow & vintage; bracelets- H&M, vintage & the Bay; ring- YSL

Prep School (Bloggers Do It Better)

Hi everyone! This is my submission for the Bloggers Do It Better "Prep School" challenge... What do you guys think? I had a hard time putting this look together (it required a tie/bow tie, and a vest/blazer) because it's so out of my comfort zone... I haven't worn a tie since grade 10! Good thing for Mr. AIF and his substantial tie collection, huh?

Outfit details: shirt- Forever 21; blazer- Tahari; tie- Zegna (Mr. AIF's!); skirt- Forever 21; clutch- vintage; shoes- Aldo; brooch- thrifted

Adventures in colour blocking...

When Pretty Shiny Sparkly's Kristina announced her new "Bloggers Do It Better" initiative, I was super pumped by the idea... a chance to try out different looks alongside your fellow blogger? Count me in!

For it's inaugural post, Kristina challenged participants to share a colour blocking (yes, that's Canadian spelling!) look, or their brightest, boldest stripes... Although my wardrobe doesn't hold much by way of solid colour, I jumped at the chance to put together a CB look! Wouldn't you? Come on...
