{Wardrobe Wednesday} Poppy Barley Flats

This week's Wardrobe Wednesday is an extra special one, because: 1. These flats are from a local shoe company, 2. Said company was founded by two lovely sisters I'm proud to call my friends (not to mention their lovely staff) and 3. Well, there are foxheads involved... 'nuff said.


Why I love them:

Poppy Barley let's you completely customize your boots or flats to your liking (royal purple nubuck, anyone?), and since they're made-to-measure, they fit like a dream... Seriously though, I don't think I've ever worn a more comfortable shoe — plus it doesn't hurt that they're ridiculously cute either. In fact, they're so pretty that I'm almost too scared to wear them outdoors... almost.


Thanks for reading friends, and happy Wardrobe Wednesday! xx

on the road again...

Some of you may have noticed my recent lack of blogging, and so please consider this post my way of apologizing... You see, dear reader, I have been in the process of relocating from my beautiful island city of Victoria all the way to Edmonton, Alberta... So after weeks of cleaning, sorting and packing, Mr. AIF and I tearfully (well, on my part at least!) said goodbye to our friends and family before making the epic 14 hour drive to our new home. With only a few minor blips along the way (mainly, arriving to our new place at 10 pm only to find that the electricity had been turned off!), we have been busy easing in to our new surroundings, which seem pretty amazing so far... And with daily jaunts to Ikea and the like taking up most of my time, I never dreamed that moving could be so fun! Thank you for all your patience, and believe me when I say that AIF will be back on track soon... pinky swear!
