The minute I saw the Sea of Shoes x ShoeMint collaboration, I knew I had to make them mine. Like, if there were a "yoink" button on my screen (future e-commerce peeps of the world take note), that's what I would have pressed. Since arriving in the mail on Monday, I've paraded around the house in them exactly 800 times (give or take) and dreamed up a lifetime of outfits to accompany them... I'm not obsessed or anything.

Happy Thursday! xx

Just to give you a glimpse into my life, a random lady came up to me while I was taking these photos, leaned in nice and close, and whispered: "You should stand up straight, you know." I'm sorry, but are hunchbacks not in this season? I guess I didn't get the memo. Maybe I should have fibbed and told her that I have scoliosis just to make things nice and awkward — that would have shown her. Stupid retrospect.

Well at least I have this spotted Phillip Lim for Target skirt to keep me (and my hunch) warm at night, right? Sigh.

Fancy seeing you again, Monday... You killjoy, you. Why can't everyday consist of sleeping in, seeing friends and eating one's weight in frozen yogurt? The world would be a better place, let me tell you... Sigh.

{Style} Abandoned...

Road trips seem to always be ripe with abandoned-old-building-sightings, which are like catnip for fashion bloggers. That's why I forced Mr. AiF to make a pit stop in a tiny little town to snap pics in front of an old automotive shop. I mean seriously, peeling paint, dirty windows and creepy remnants of it's past life scattered about always makes for a killer backdrop, if not only in my head. But then again lots of things seem better in my head, like fondue or the pleather-pant incident of 2001.

{Style} Fleur Sure...

You know me, always quick to jump on the cheesy-pun express... So when I find a floral print worthy of some good old fashioned word play, you bet your sweet Asos (zing!) I'm going for it— Fleur sure.

Anyway, I picked this blouse up during my inaugural Target Canada visit last week, which has led to re-wearing said shirt more times than I care to admit. But seriously, just try and have a bad day when you're packing tha much floral print action, I dare you... It just can't be done.

Happy Monday, friends! Hope everyone had a nice, relaxing weekend... xx

I've been on a bit of a shopping kick lately (I'm thinking May is gonna have to be another shopping ban month), including a mini online tryst with ASOS. Nothing too crazy, but let's just say that my virtual cart ranneth over with a striped skirt (stay tuned!) and this totally awesome blazer. I don't know if it's the vibrant colours or the in-your-face print, but I'm in love with this blazer and in a big way... And now for the credit card payments.

Happy Monday, lovelies! xx

Over the weekend, Mr. AiF and I ventured to an abandoned motel on the outskirts of town (well, sort of) to shoot some photos and have some lolz. I love old, derelict buildings, and since we've been watching our fair share of X-Files lately, this spot in particular spoke to both of us (and believe me, that's rare).

I love how the run-down setting of this post contrasts my bright, spring-ready outfit, and we had a lot of fun shooting there even though it felt like Slender Man was right around the corner the entire time. Hey, anything in the name of fashion, right? xx
