{Style} Not With a Fizzle But With a Bang...

Fun facts: 1. The guest star/grounding element of this outfit is a five-year-old denim jacket that I long had written off, and 2. I have a major stye situation happening right now. Luckily for me you can't really tell that my jacket is old enough for kindergarten OR that my left eyelid is swollen to nearly double its size, so let's go ahead and chalk this post up as a huge success... God bless bangs and good lighting, am I right?

{Style} Pipe Dreams...

Sometimes nothing shows off polka dots quite like industrial pipes, which is probably why you're thinking to yourself, "Man those are some powerful dots" right now. In the off chance that you weren't thinking that (*ahem*), I forgive you. My friend Brittney on the other hand, not so much... You see, not only did she take these photos, but she serendipitously scouted the location as well. So take it from me, don't mess.

In other, less ridiculous news, Target finally opened it's bright red doors to its Canadian brethren yesterday, which prompted me to go a tad overboard in the clothing department. But with so much adorableness to choose from, I left the store feeling like I hit the jackpot... Or — if you prefer — the bullseye.

And finally, congratulations to Aishwariya for winning the Les Arts Plastiques giveaway! Woot woot!

Outfit details: peplum top- Urban Outfitters; denim jacket- H&M; polka dot jeans- Forever 21; nude wedges- Pour la Victoire; clutch- vintage; necklace- Forever 21; bracelet- Joe Fresh; watch- Michael Kors

{Leather Detail Week} The Jacket...

The leather-detail goodness continues with this denim jacket from Zara... Isn't it cute? It's the perfect throw-on-and-go piece that, believe me, has seen its fair share of action (wink wink). Want to know what's not cute? Winter. And wind. Oh, and frostbite... Soooo not pretty. To that end, please forgive the disheveled hair and mitts— for the next few months just consider them a hazard of the job.

There's plenty of leathery details where that came from friends, so stay tuned for more! xx

Outfit details: sweater- Aritzia; faux leather sleeve denim jacket- Zara; bubble skirt & pumps- Joe Fresh; rhinestone necklace- Forever 21; gold watch- Michael Kors
