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!

Florida Shopping Haul | YouTube

Hey friends,
as you may or may not know, I have a Youtube channel as well. So, I figured it was a better place to show y'all my latest shopping haul!

It is a very preppy haul. Working full-time in an office, as much as I'd love to dress casual, I don't really get that luxury a lot of the time. Hopefully in the near future I'll be able to show off a little more of a casual look book as well.

Hope y'all like it and I'll see yah soon,

Travel Diary: Florida Days 6+7

Here it is, the final travel diary of this vacation. As I'm writing this on my lunch break, it's only setting in more that I'm back to reality and the working grind again. But, all is well, these pictures give me tons of joy. 

Day 6

Like I said in my last Travel diary, I was fighting a minor ear infection (self-diagnosed) so my family and I decided to stay in that day and not do anything too wild. 

I used this time to catch up on my travel diary and edit my shopping Haul video (which you can view here) and I also just had some snacks, like the true piggy I love to be. 

 Eventually we picked outselves up and head down to the beach. Little did we know that the biggest storm of the whole trip was headed our way. So, we had to leave just as quick as we came, but I did get some cute pics first. 

Shirt: Simply Southern

Sunglasses Strap: Vineyard Vines

Shorts: Lilly Pulitzer

Afterwards we got a little dressed up and went to my brothers absolute favourite restaurant, out back steak house.  

Shirt: Marley Lilly

Shorts: (same) Lilly Pulitzer  

Day 7

We started the day with iHop and head to Orlando for our final day at Universal Studios. Having been there quite a few times in our lives, my brother and I were glad to just spend the day at the Harry Potter attractions. 

We road the train, and drank butter beer, and made some great memories for what was possibly our last time going as a family. 

Sunnies: Rayban

Body Suit: Vintage

Skirt: Anerican Apparel

Shoes: New Balance 

So I hope y'all liked this kind of series! Please let me know if you want to see more stuff like this in the future and what you want to see next! 

See y'all soon

Travel Diaries: Florida Day 3 + 4 + 5

Hey guys, so I'm back with travel diary 2/3 for this Vacation. It's ben both good and bad the past few days. Of course, everything's been beautiful but I think I got an ear infection from refusing to leave the ocean. So, I've been in quite a bit of pain for the past few days. But that being put aside, it's been an amazing experience. 

Day Three

The everglades is a land mass that is known to be particularly wet and prone to lakes and canals. Florida has allowed this to flourish with natural plants and animals by making it a protected park. 

It is quite a drive out from where we're staying, so it took about 2.5 hours for us to get there.

Once we got their the park is so beautifully simple. There's a small pink store with merchandise that organizes the tours. From there, you take a boat out on to some surrounding lakes while learning a great deal about the area's environment. We were even lucky enough to spot a dolphin although, we didn't quite get to see any crocodiles. 

I unfortunately lost my new favourite hat while on the boat ride. But, we stopped by Village of Merrick Park in Miami to replace the hat. Of course, I ended up picking up an I (whale) Coral Gables from there as well. The mall was absolutely gorgeous. I can't believe we'd never stumbled on it before! 

On another trip where we spend more time in Miami, it'd be great to explore the mall a little better. 

I was just about done with shopping for the trip but it never hurts to take back a nice souvenir.

Hat: Vineyard Vines

My top: TopShop

Shorts: American Apparel

Shoes: Converse

Purse: Kate Spade

Day Four

This Day, we didn't quite have anything in particular planned so we woke up on our own time and wanted to stop by target to get a couple of things. We got far too carried away though and ended up staying a great deal of the morning shopping around there. 

When we got back, we changed and head down to the beach for the afternoon. As usual, the water was gorgeous and warm. We didn't want to leave for a second. But eventually we did have to leave and get ready for dinner in Miami.  Bikini: Corona

Day Five

We had to head out bright and early to get to Key West in time. And I mean early; as in 6AM and I didn't want to move out of bed. but after the 4ish hour drive, we made it down to Key West. The most southern part of the states that's actually closer to Cuba than most main Cities in the state. 

The sweltering heat didn't leave much option for attire. But with some sunnies cold water, we did alright. It's a very old port town so rich with history and beautifully old architecture. 

We couldn't say as much about the beach water there as it was fairly mucky and swampy. We were told that this time of year the ecosystems in the area react like this to the heat. The sand on the other hand was gorgeous. 

After the beach we head back home and said goodbye to our relatives with dinner at a yummy Cuban restaurant. 

Hat: Vineyard Vines

Sunglasses: RayBans

Dress: J Crew

Sandals: Birkinston

It's been an amazing time and I can't believe my next post will be the last one of the trip! It's hard to believe the week's gone by so quick. 

I'll talk to y'all soon

Stages of Life

 

I been gone for a couple of weeks, because life's been getting pretty crazy for me lately. I've been going to the gym more but most importantly my brother's graduated Highschool. 

He'll be moving into university in a few months and it seems like then kids are really growing up. I was lucky enough to be a senior for my brothers freshman year of high school and guide him as much as I could, so now it's his turn to try out University with a few pointers from his not so big sis.

Calm Cool and Collected

So as I've been learning to transition into adulthood, I've had to take myself much more seriously to convince everyone else to treat me half as serious. I suppose if I was seeing a tiny ball of joy, it'd be hard for me to keep a straight face as well.

But I had to take a few pictures with this outfit since it gave me a huge sensce of pride to know that Audrey and Jackey O would approve. 

I thought I'd share a little outfit Inspo with you all since it was one of my favourites. 

See yah soon,

Victoria Day Weekend

The Canadian start of summer was the weekend before American Memorial Day weekend this year. But, the weather decided to bless us with a gorgeous weekend and we kicked off the summer perfectly.





 I love hosting events and my friends have gotten used to the varying themes my "fiesta's" usually entail. This weekend, it was a Victoria Day Tailgate. This means mason jar drinks and sweet tea to chase. Our friends have gotten so comfortable in my home and our usual anticks that the growing years seem like nothing!

Not only that, but we've gotten more comfortable I'm knowing what's necessary for everyone to feel the most comfortable. A relaxed environment with food drinks and good music is the perfect recipe. A close friend has been the honorary DJ for years and my parents have been kind enough to offer up our home as the venue all these years.

With a bit of a hang over and a lot of sun, we woke up the Monday and head to beach in my topless Jeep. (After cleaning up the wreck that was left from the night before) The idea started with a drunk text to my best friend Monica at 4 am saying we should go to the beach. The hung over reply of "want to go today?" was all we needed to grab our bikini's and head off.

All-in-All it was a gorgeous weekend with great times and great friends. If the summer is a reflection of how this was at a glance of the great weather, I can't wait and I'm ecstatic to share it with you.

Favourite Outfit of the Week

So, I'm sure no one's proud of all of their outfits, there's always that one day that you slack off a little. So I'm not going to show you my outfits for everyday of the week but I am going to show you my favourite work outfit, since i didn't go anywhere notable this week!

It was a very preppy look with a little bit of sass! Sunglasses: Raybans Pearls: Carolee 

Vest: Patagonia Watch: Michael Kors Shirt: American Eagle Pants: Le Chateau Shoes: Ramon Tenza

Hopefully you guys like this kind of post and I'll keep this up at the end of every week, adds a little more motivation for me as well! I've been loving how put together a pearl necklace can make an outfit. 

See yah soon, xx

Panama Hat

So, please excuse how disheveled I look after work on Monday, but I came home to find my dad back from Panama with a gift from my cousins! This gorgeous sun hat, with the cutest floral bow I could have asked for!

 After regretting not buying myself a Panama hat the last time we went, the gift was perfect. Now that the weather's starting to warm up, I can't wait to wear it. There's even a strap that's easy to conceal and will keep the hat on for days that the jeep becomes a convertible. 

I can't wait to feature this hat when I post my Florida vlog, but I had to show it off before then! 

See yah soon,
