It's October 3rd

If you didn't know what day it is, it's the day Aaron Samuels asked Cady what day it was.

But, all mean girls jokes aside, it's finally time to start thinking about halloween and thanksgiving!
depending on if you live in Canada or the US, you may have thanks giving next week or next month. But, I know that my house is all ready for the season!

As usual, I've been exploiting burgundy products wherever I can. For that, fall feel. But, to me fall's also about revisiting vintage fashions more than any other season. This cropped varsity knit and bell bottoms are a warm welcome with a little dash of Betty from Archie magazines. They're hidden from my hair, but I took some inspo from Scream Queens as well, and used burgundy ear muffs as a headband.

Back to Multi Tasking

Hat: Vineyard Vines | Top: Forever 21 |
Cardigan: Dynamite | Jeans: Topshop

Hey Friends!
It's been a while, Summer's ended, school is back in session and I'm anxiously waiting for fall to come back! You may have noticed I was gone for a couple of weeks and I was essentially handling the transition back into the life of multi-tasking once again.

Choker: Aldo | Sweater: Reebok | Bag: Marley Lilly
Jeans: American Eagle | Shoes: Ivanka Trump

When I say The Life of MultiTasking I'm referring to the amount of responsibilities I have to juggle at the moment. During the summer there's the usual Work, Friends, Self balance. But now that School is back in it's more of a School, Work, Friends, Self, Extra-Curriculars Balance. It's a significant extra weight; although it's doable, it definitely needs to be maneuvered skilfully.

Shoes: Adidas Super Stars | Jeans: Old Navy

Now that I'm getting back into the swing of things, I'm back to bring you some fun content and hopefully inspire a couple of fall transition looks. I've been really loving comfort with a side of glam lately. So, if it's mom jeans, I'll beat my face up! If it's a baggy sweater, some booty heels are the perfect trick. Although overwhelming at times, everything can be achieved if you take it from the right angle. 

Same Outfit as above

Here's to hoping for a good semester and some sweet outfits!

Smells Like School Spirit

 

Four years ago I set off on the final chapter of my schooling. A BCOMM majoring in Retail Management. I started off wanting to be a buyer. On my first day the prof asked out class who wanted to be a buyer. About 80% of the class raise their hands (maybe around 100 students) and they quickly said, that by the end of our schooling maybe 10 or 15 of us would actually still want to pursue that.

 
Lo and behold, almost 4 years later, I have considered being almost everything in the field but a buyer. When I started off, I had a street style blog and was certain I wanted to go into fashion. The lines have blurred a lot since then. But, I've always been sure that I've wanted my own business.

 
I recently found so much happiness in throwing on one of my program's shirts and some slouchy shorts. I'm going to aim for a good mix of casual and more professional style for y'all.

What kind of style's your favourite?

Travel Diaries: Florida Days 1 + 2

I've been fortunate enough to have an on-going tradition of traveling at least once a year with my family. Literally. My first road-trip was when I was six months old and ever since they've been letting us escape reality every once in a while. We came to florida for the week and it was perfect for the retreat we needed.

Day One

After being kept up in a dreary office for the past couple of months, the sunshine state was exactly what we needed to get the glow back in us! And of course I had a little help from my Urban Decay Highlighter. 

Sunglasses: Rayban | Top: J Crew | Purse: Kate Spade | Pants: Zara
Shoes: Kate Spade | Watch: Daniel Wellington | Phone Case: DIY with a Marley Lilly Sticker  

We head off the the Town Centre at Boca Raton in the search of the store I've been dreaming of for far too long. After finding out Lilly Pulitzer not only didn't exist in Canada, but also didn't ship to Canada, I knew I had to come find one on this trip. 

After stopping at Dunkin Donuts, Lilly Pulitzer and Vineyard Vines, I had a happy heart and an empty wallet that I was more than proud of. The smile only got bigger when we head down to Bubba Shrimps in Fort Lauderdale with some Family to end the night. 

The Hat was picked up at Vineyard Vines and I swapped my sandals for Birkinstocks. 

Day Two

Oh, Monday. What a love hate relationship we have. The beginning of a new week and new opportunities, but no one wants to go in to work after a great weekend. Which is why this monday at the beach was everyone a girl could hope for. 

We woke up bright and early to take advantage of the day and head out for a morning session at the beach. 

I wore this relaxed monogrammed Tee from Marley Lilly and black high waisted shorts from American Apparel. 

By 10am it was 30 degrees and warm enough for the sea to feel a lot more like a heated pool than the gorgeous ocean. 

We head back for lunch and found a pizzeria by the pier that was everything I was needing to save me from a mild sun stroke. 

After that we went to the beach one more time and spent the night in watching movies. I'm loving this trip so far and I can't wait for what's to come. I'll be filming a haul featuring my shopping trip for you guys while I'm here as well! 

See y'all soon,

My Work Bag Essentials

Hey guys!

So, if you haven't all clued in, I work quite a bit. For my internship this summer I'm working full time, but fairly long hours. For those of you on the same boat for the summer, or working full-time, I wanted to talk about my survival kit! 

So here's a peak inside my Kate Spade leather tote, that allows me to carry just about everything!
first of all, the bottle on the left is my tanning lotion for the days I go tanning after work (my eyewear is also thrown in there somewhere). Then I've got my wallet and my sunglasses. You can't seen the pocket too much, but I've got a few pens in there as well as a hand sanitizer and lotion!

But the four books in there are the most crucial to my daily routine!
1. The gold and white striped personal planner is what I use to keep track of everything and have it in one central place. It allows me to keep up my to-do lists and things wherever I am.
2. The Vacationers; the novel I'm currently reading is what I like to keep with me if I get a little time during lunch to take my mind of work and the real world a little bit!
3. The gold foiled Notebook, similar concept to the planner but a little less organized. I can use it to jot down anything from outfit ideas to budgeting rough drafts. I find it helpful to have an open space to put ideas on paper whenever my mind's wondering off from work.
4. A simple moleskin paperback notebook. I constantly need to jot things down on the spot while I'm at work, so I like to use this almost as organized scrap paper.

let me know what you need in your bag!
see yah soon,
