{Wardrobe Wednesday} Phillip Lim Clutch

{ My go-to, the 31 Minute pouch }

This week's WW is all about the neutral, go-to clutch, which for me has recently become the Phillip Lim 31 minute pouch (they actually call it a cosmetics case, but who would be crazy enough to spend 300 big ones on a makeup bag?!). Anyway, I decided to update my previous staple — this vintage YSL clutch that I scored for $4 at a thrift shop — because I wanted to reduce the amount of wear it was inevitably getting. I don't know about you guys, but I like to preserve my things for as long as humanly possible, which means being mindful not to 'overexert' anything... Makes sense, right? I'd like to think so, although I'm sure Mr. AiF would tell you that's just me enabling my shopping addiction. Potato, potato.

Thanks for reading, and happy Wardrobe Wednesday!

Wardrobe Wednesday: Arm Party Edition

Hi lovelies! For those of you that follow PSS, you know exactly what this edition of Wardrobe Wednesday is all about: major arm candy! And since Bloggers Do It Better, here we are... Sorry WW, you've been usurped!

Anyone who knows me can attest to the fact that you can hear me before you ever see me coming (*jingle, jingle, jangle*), and since packing on the bracelets is my MO, this challenge has by far been my favourite. I decided to keep the palate neutral and stuck with mixed metals, combining a few H&M bangles with a pack brass goodies from Aldo Accessories... And true to form, I threw on a vintage gold bangle for good measure! What can I say, the heart wants what it wants...

Don't forget to check out all the other awesome submissions and give them some blogity love! xx

Bloggers Do It Better: Neon & Neutral...

Well hello there! How is everyone on this lovely weekend-eve? My household has been very somber since the loss of the Canucks last night (Mr. AIF was devastated!), so I imagine my weekend will be of a low key, comfort-food-filled variety... *sigh*

Anyway, this here is my latest submission for PSS's Bloggers Do It Better challenge... Kristina prompted us to try mixing neutrals with neons, which I absolutely LOVE in accessories (hello, Marc Jacobs!) but hadn't really considered in terms of a full ensemble. But BDIB is nothing if not a giant push out of one's comfort zone, and so neons and neutrals it was.

I had just purchased this blazer from Zara the weekend before, so it was quite fortuitous that I not only had a neon item in my wardrobe to style an outfit around, but a new one at that! What can I say, it must have been kismet...
