Wardrobe Wednesday...

Photobucket

I thrifted this clutch last summer in Victoria for only $2.99, and so far it's been an invaluable addition to my collection. It's super roomy and versatile, and it's vibrant colour livens up any old outfit... Just look at how many times I've worn it already!

To The Maxi...

Last Friday I attended the preview event for Western Canada Fashion Week, and this is what I wore... A simple, sheer back maxi paired with a leopard print tank felt appropriate (read: "fashiony"), while a single pop of colour helped livened things up a bit. My forgotten jewelry is still not here, so once again this Forever 21 necklace made an appearance... Desperate times, right?

The evening was filled with lively conversations, chocolate-covered strawberries, and of course, fashion. To see more, check out this amazing video by my friend Kassandra's uber talented husband... What a guy.

Do The Polka...

You've seen them sprawled across magazines, catwalks and virtually every square inch of retail space lately... That's right my friends, I'm talking about polka dots. There's nothing new about this timeless print, but the seasoned dot is hitting fall hard this year and I couldn't be more pleased. I don't know about you, but I plan on loading up with as many dot-emblazonded items as my wardrobe (and wallet) can handle this year!

What's your favourite trend for fall? xx

Into the Meadow...

These photos were taken spur of the moment while strolling through the park... I wasn't necessarily prepared for them, but we were so taken by the lovely scenery that we really couldn't resist. Doesn't it just look like the dreamiest autumn backdrop? Not that I'm complaining about all the lovely weather we've finally been having, but all that golden grass made me yearn for the days of warm layers, deep hues and textured tights... Does that make me sound crazy? Maybe. But the grass is always greener on the other side.

Fancy Pants...

Well, crazy pants might be more like it, but let's go with "fancy" for now... it just sounds better, doesn't it?

I'm still on my fuchsia kick, so I decided to get a little cray-cray and pair my current favourite vest with my, well, loud H&M pants... What do you guys think? I felt super out-there at first, but the longer I wore this outfit, the more comfortable I became. This level of comfort did not extend to my footwear, however, as I quickly experienced shooting pains and spasms in my toes. Well, I guess you can't win 'em all...

Happy Monday, everyone! xx

Navajo Nights...

Hi lovelies! How is everyone on this lovely weekend-eve? I'm super excited to finally be showing you this navajo F21 tank that I bought a couple of months ago but hadn't worn until now... Isn't it cute? I paired it with a pleated skirt I thrifted last weekend, and an H&M hat from several months ago that I also just broke in... Hey, better late than never, right?

PS- these photos were taken in a very public location (not my idea), and needless to say, this little photo shoot attracted several curious stares... I felt like such a wiener posing in front of all those people! *blush*

Do you guys ever feel like that during your outfit shoots? Please tell me I'm not alone here...
