Safari Chic...

Nothing says safari chic quite like a military vest and leopard print, but as stoked as I was to channel my inner Indiana Jones, I thought it best to neutralize things with a mint dress and girlie accessories... After all, we wouldn't want to over do anything, now would we?

And in other news, I'm seriously smitten with this Forever 21 necklace. I bought it for pretty much no money (gotta love that!) and instantly fell in love with its vintage vibe... Hey, sometimes a girl just needs a cheap repro to tide her over, am I right?

Happy Tuesday, lovebugs! xx

{Weekend Update} The Farmer's Market...

This weekend marked my official departure from shift work, because for the first time in a very long time, I had the entire weekend off! So what's a girl to do with all that extra time on her hands, you ask? Well, let me tell you: I visited the farmer's market and our local Fringe Festival, saw friends, cleaned house and — best of all — relaxed... What a concept! Top that off with HBO Sunday and some freshly manicured nails, and I'm one seriously happy girl.

Happy Monday, lovelies! Hope you all had fab weekends... xx

The Golden Hour...

Last night Kastles and I took a little trip to Ikea (fun!) to pick up a couple things and grab a quick dinner... The light was perfect, so we stopped to snap some pics before loading up on furniture and decorative bits (I'll explain why later). This woman stopped to stare and make awkward comments, but we didn't care —I think we're pretty much immune to it by now! ;)

In other news, I just realized that I'm pretty much head to toe Forever 21 in this look... How does this keep happening to me?! I think I need to tone it down and shop local for a while — this F21 business is getting out of control!

Happy Tuesday, lovelies! xx

The Office...

Now I don't know about you lovely ladies, but I always have such a hard time dressing for the office... There's always this fine line between injecting your personality into office-appropriate gear and totally missing the mark. That's why I decided to take my favourite new jeans (so me!) and pair them with a black structured blazer (so officey!) to appease the two... And with a couple fun accessories thrown in for good measure, I was ready to paint the office red... Or, you know, mint green.

What do you guys wear to work? xx

Mass-ive Attack...

Writing the outfit details for this post made me realize that I should probably diversify my shopping spots a bit... Can you say predictable? If my ensembles don't hail from the "holy trinity"of shopping — aka mass retail giants H&M, Forever 21 or Zara — you can bet they come from my employer, Mr. Michael Kors... Not exactly original. Have I stumbled into some kind of sartorial rut? Probably... But at least acceptance is the first step to recovery, right?
