Falling For Fuchsia...
There's nothing like a vibrant colour to elevate an otherwise dull ensemble to new heights... At least that's what I would like to think is going on here. I had been wearing this cotton H&M dress around the house all day, feeling uber gross-n-grubby, when Mr. AIF suggested we take advantage of the "golden hour" and snap some photos... I grumbled in agreement, threw a blazer over what had quickly become my house dress (think house coat), and slicked my ratty, I've-been-home-all-day-and-couldn't-bother hair. This, my friends, is the end result... Aren't I a sight for sore eyes? In case you weren't sure, that was a giant hashtag sarcasm.
What are your get-ready-in-a-flash tricks? Dish! xx

Fancy Pants...
Well, crazy pants might be more like it, but let's go with "fancy" for now... it just sounds better, doesn't it?
I'm still on my fuchsia kick, so I decided to get a little cray-cray and pair my current favourite vest with my, well, loud H&M pants... What do you guys think? I felt super out-there at first, but the longer I wore this outfit, the more comfortable I became. This level of comfort did not extend to my footwear, however, as I quickly experienced shooting pains and spasms in my toes. Well, I guess you can't win 'em all...
Happy Monday, everyone! xx

Hot Pink in the City...
I know, I know, I look like a Miami Vice cast member in this blazer, but I don't mind... I just love the colour so! I've never been a fuchsia person before (and when the hue started popping up everywhere I secretly cringed), but now I'm a total devotee. I don't know what's gotten into me these days, but I find myself craving its vibrancy on a daily basis. Now don't worry, I won't be inundating AIF with fuchsia-coloured everything, but you might be seeing it on a regular basis over the next couple of months... There. You've been forewarned.
What's your go-to colour these days?

Wardrobe Wednesday...
Remember when I went thrifting last week? Well a few of you asked me to show you what I actually bought that day, not just the kooky things I tried on... Ask and you shall receive, my friends!
The first thing is something you've already seen, but probably didn't realize at the time. Figured it out yet? That's right, it's the "80's fuchsia" vest from my last post! I pretty much died when I saw it; the colour is amazing and so is the cut- like one of the Golden Girls (Blanche, of course) went on a safari. Too much detail? Fine, I'll move on...
The second thing I bought was a vintage Coro necklace... Isn't it pretty? I love the red resin leaves and how they look wrapped around the neck. And the best part? This little collectable was only $3.99! Not that I'm bragging or anything ;)
Finally, I left Value Village with a delightfully pleated purple maxi (say that five times fast!), which you'll be seeing more of tomorrow... Get this, I was actually planning on going to American Apparel to get another maxi when I found this one for a fraction of the price ($7.99)! I can officially die a happy girl.
And although I didn't buy these shoes at VV that day, I wanted to show you my latest footwear acquisition nonetheless. I bought these BCBG sandals at Winners, get this, ON SALE! A sale on sale priced merchandise; it doesn't get much better than that. I practically skipped out of the store, that's how happy I was. And in case you were wondering, I scored these bad boys for only $40. Life is good, my friends...
