{Details} Back to Basics...

Summer is all about breezy separates, simple yet impactful accessories and — on particularly humid days — the absence of bangs. Although not always a fan of the latter (so exposed!), I'm totally down with the rest. I mean really, loose tops that don't stick to you when temperatures spike? Sign me up! Oversized sunnies that could transform any hot mess (pun intended) into a total chic machine? Yus please! Studded flats that could be walked in for days? Obvi! Throw in a frozen treat or two, and I should be good for the next few months... Menchies anyone?

Stripes With Pep...

Casual stripes get some added ooomph with a pop of peplum in this little Zara top — And the best part? I scored it for 15 big ones during their spring sale last week (which is probably still going on)...  I think that calls for a fist pump, don't you? xx

Summer's Eve...

Summer is in the air, and I for one couldn't be more excited to frolic the fairer months away in light layers, decorative sandals and no-fuss makeup... And the most exciting part? Somewhere out there awaits a patio, complete with fish tacos and margaritas with my name on it... Bring it on, summer!

Happy Monday, sugarplums! xx

Wardrobe Wednesday...

When I saw these sandals at Winners last weekend, I instantly knew I had to have them... First of all, I really liked the design (toga party anyone?) as well as the material - they're jellies! How awesome is that? And as you can imagine, a total throwback to my childhood ;)

Finally, these bad boys are surprisingly comfy and, here's the clincher, super cheap! At a whopping $25, how could I resist? *sigh*

What kind of summer sandal are you guys rocking this year? I wanna know! xx

In the Trenches...

Just a quick look at my outfit from yesterday... I bought this trench last weekend from the Gap, which was having a huge sale: 40% off already marked-down merchandise! Needless to say, it was a maaaaajor steal... Double fist pump!

So how is everyone celebrating the long weekend? I'll be volunteering at a local festival all weekend, but I hope to have a little free time to explore and have some fun... What about you?? Whether you're a fellow Canadian kicking it Canada Day style today, or a lovely American getting ready for the 4th of July, I hope you all have nice, relaxing weekends! Until Monday... xx

Wardrobe Wednesday...

Hi my loves! I hope everyone is well and enjoying the middle of the week... I myself am nursing a gross, icky cold, but not to worry, I'm trudging through!

So what do you think of my new Forever 21 gladiator sandals? Aren't they cute?! When I saw them I just couldn't resist- I have a surprising track record of comfy shoes from F21, and my black booties that have appeared on AIF ad nauseum are pretty much the only heels I can actually walk in, so I figured why not... Pluuuuus they were under $30, so the price was definitely right!

What are your shoe-staples? I wanna know! xx
