Outfit of The Day: Relaxation Station

 On Saturday I was in need of a relaxing day. As the school semester winds down post-grad schooling is proving to be a lot more intense than I imagined.

I decided to spend the day with one of my girlfriends. We did brunch, nails and some much needed chit chat. Think mimosas, french toast & shellac! Basically heaven.

The weather has been warmer than usual here in Toronto especially since it's November. I went with a simple outfit, as per usual.

Side note: I know I'm not the only one who feels uber posh when wearing fur.

Pants: Roots

Cardigan: Zara Mens

T-shirt: Zara Basics

Fur: H&M

Boots: Aldo

Clutch: American Apparel

OOTD: Bleached Jeans & Boat Shoes

 I wore this outfit to get some readings done at Starbucks. Simple, relaxed, and comfortable which basically defines my style.

Jeans: Urban Outfitters

Shoes: Sperry Boat Shoes

Jacket: Wilfred

Bag: Roots (Customized bag)

Necklace: My brothers

Rings: Various

The weather is finally picking up here, we've had a nice few days. 

I'm excited :D

From the Vault: OOTD

I randomly found this picture on my computer from vacation in Portugal. This was before a VERY long train ride. You can tell I'm excited by the look on my face :/ This is my idea of comfy chic while traveling.

What do you guys wear on long flights/road trips?

Leather Jacket: Marciano

Bag: Roots Woven Leather clutch

Team USA Jersey (Jordan #9): Vintage

Black Moccasins: Aldo

Double Denim Days

 

 Let's not even talk of my absence.  Went out for coffee/catch up time with one of my besties. Double Denim was the outfit of choice. I know some people hate this trend but I love it, I feel like I'm channeling my inner Zach Morris. My very own Canadian Tuxedo, which is fitting since I'm Canadian right!  The trick to not making it look too tacky is by piecing together two shades of denim. Not for you? Black denim + blue denim channels the trend without being too forward.

Cheers to all my lovely readers & even those lurkers :)

Jeans: Cheap Monday

Bag: Roots Canada

Shoes: Minnetonka Moccasins

Shining Like The Sun at The Trumpet Call

 Excuse the 'screw face' in the first picture, the sun was out! I don't know about you but I struggle to find jumpsuits that fit my body well. I'm not proportionate at all. Small Torso/Long Legs. I love this one, it's safe to say it may become my summer uniform. Now its time to get back to packing!

Jumpsuit: H&M

Shoes: Nine West

Blazer: Zara

When it Rains, it Pours!

Another university outfit of the day. 

I went with neutral colors and decided to accessorize with a scarf that had a pop of color. Yesterday was a bit warmer where I live, so a bit of the snow on the ground had melted.  I decided to break out my moccasins in celebration. They're the hi-top ones because I didn't want to get ahead of myself and pull out my low tops (secret: I own about 5 pairs of various moccasins, can you say addict!). 

I know they may not be every one's cup o' tea but I lurve 'em.

The Jacket is one of those timeless pieces I  will have forever. I bought it about 5 years ago while taking a trip to Montreal, I paid a pretty penny for it, but well worth it to me. It has emphasized shoulders, that I wasn't so fond before but now I wouldn't change them for the world.

 Scarf: Vintage

Moccasins: Minnetonka

Belt: H&M

Black Denim: unsure, sorry!

Watch: Fossil
Jacket: French Connection

Hope you ladies are doing well, & to all the new followers welcome :)

The affairs of the heart are so far from rational.

Cue crazy week! Managed to get an outfit post in. I have more beauty posts sitting in my drafts so keep a look out for them. I scored this sweater in the Roots sale with an extra 20% off & I'm loving it. Its one of those things people will either LOVE or HATE.

I got my hair cut last week & took about 2 inches off. Not a huge difference but very necessary. If you want to hear me ramble about hair care let me know & I'll write a post.

MAC Club eyeshadow on eyes.

Why do I look like a lost child? haha

"To be able to look back on ones life in satisfaction, is to live twice"

Lipstick NARS- Barbarella

The quote in the title is from poet Khalil Gibran. I love some of his work so you'll be seeing more of his quotes throughout the life of this blog. I love poetry in general and the vast interpretations that each individual can have to the same piece. For me this quote pushes me to enjoy life in its entirety so that when I look back I will have no regrets. What does it mean to you?

This is just an outfit from Uni the other day, really simple and comfortable.

Hope you week is going well!

I promise I own other shoes, I just LOVE these atm.

Hat: Roots Canada
Plaid Shirt : Roots Canada- Men's Shirt

I'd Catch a Grenade for You

Bruno Mars' song 'Grenade' seems to follow me wherever I go & is now stuck in my head. Three cheers for his marketing team!

Though sweet & all I probs would never catch a grenade for anyone, that's sucide aint it?

...no dice.

OOTD - Outfit of the Day

 

 This is my first outfit post, my blog is predominantly a beauty blog. But I have some interest in fashion as well. I dress very simply/casually and love street style. This is an outfit from New Years Eve morning, the weather was BEAUTIFUL, you know the kind that makes you think you can parade around in a t-shirt even though it isn't that warm. You can't blame me, anything over 5 degrees excites me in December.

Scarf : Roots Canada

Boots : Costa Blanca

Watch: Fossil

Cross/Owl Ring: ASOS/Aldo
