California Dreamer

These are definitely the most AWKO TACO (awkward) poses I have EVER done. So please, feel free to laugh because I still do every time I see these ;) This outfit was inspired by the sun that woke me up that one beautiful morning. In hopes that spring and summer would come faster, I decided to dress as if it was already spring to the best of my capabilities, considering the cold weather. Nothing screams spring and summer to me more than a flowy skirt and a shirt that says "California dreamer". I love the burgundy colour of this skirt! To me, burgundy is a colour that can transition from season to season and still work wonderfully. 

Thanks for reading :) HAPPY SPRING!

Sparkles + Glitter

So ya, not gonna lie this outfit is pretty boring. BUT please take the time to just stare at this awesome kimono blazer thing. JUST STARE AT IT! Sequins are absolutely amazing and they have the power to make a woman feel empowered when she wears something that glitzy. The sequins on this kimono- like blazer top have an ombre effect. They start off lighter at the top and near the bottom of the top they are a deep bronze colour. The sequinned blazer is definitely the focal point of this outfit. 

Thanks so much for reading y'all :)

Boucle

These pictures were taken at the beautiful Four Seasons Hotel in downtown Vancouver. 

I first laid eyes on this cardigan when some youtube fashionista hauled in from Forever 21. It was literally love at first sight. The very next day I made it to Forever 21 and bought this sucker. What I like about it is the cozy, soft and warm boucle material. I also like that it's marbled instead of just one solid colour. These heels that I'm wearing were also love at first sight. After they ran out of my size at the local Urban Outfitters, I managed to snag them on sale at the UO website. A girl can never have to many sparkly items ;) 

Thanks so much for reading kids :)

Fuzzy Wuzzy

It was a cold COLD COLD DAY! I decided to wear this amazing fuzzy sweater because it is warm and cozy and reminds me of the cookie monster from sesame street! If only it came in blue…. These printed pants that I'm wearing are also pretty interesting. They look and feel like jeans but they are essentially jeggings. You literally just pull them on and off, no zippers or buttons required. Talk about an easy lazy day outfit. The bottom picture is one of my heart ring. I never take this ring off. It was given to me by my parents and it is probably one of my most prized possessions.

Gold + Fringe

Of course, I had to goof off a bit as usual :P I MADE THIS SCARF! Isn't it pretty? 

The first thing I love about this outfit are the colours. Blue and yellow are contrasting colours on the colour wheel and I thought that they complement each other nicely and stand out in this outfit. This kimono top is actually the first piece of clothing with fringe that I own. I've always been scared of fringe and deemed myself not hipster enough to wear it, but there isn't an insane amount of fringe on this top to make me afraid to try this trend out. Another thing I love about this kimono top is the gold lace floral detailing. It contrasts with the outrageous fringe providing a more feminine feel. I am wearing this pair of amazing wool socks on my feet… INVEST IN WOOL SOCKS EVERYONE! The winter here in Vancouver has been insanely cold lately and these socks have saved my feet! Also, sorry about the wet hair, I didn't have time to use a hair dryer before these pictures were taken!

On A Cold Winter Morning, The Sun Is Shining

This past January, Raincouver has not lived up to the stereotypical name. I woke up to the warm sun and decided to dress in an outfit that suited my bright mood aka bright prints, bright colours, and SPARKLY STUFF! Lately I have been really enjoying Ross Dress For Less, an American store that is known for bargains and the latest styles. The catch to this is that quite similar to thrifting, you must be willing to dig through racks and racks of clothes to find something that you absolutely love. But when you do… boy is it worth it. My cardigan and boots were both purchased at Ross and they were items that were complete steals! What can I say, so thankful no one stole them before I did! 

P.S. Nothing I'm wearing in these pictures was bought at full price. 

Thank you so much for reading! :)

In A Galaxy Far, Far Away

 Music is a huge passion of mine! Behind me are my piano and acoustic guitar :) 

Are these leggings awesome or what? Attention grabbing without being obnoxious, I saw these on sale and knew I had to have them. I decided to tone down the craziness of these leggings by adding a plain, solid coloured dress and cardigan. Galaxy leggings have a certain hipster element butt I personally wanted to make them more wearable and versatile and not so extravagant. It was also a cold, miserable rainy day outside so, these photos were taken and edited on my iPhone 5! 

Thanks so much for reading :) Happy 2014!
