Remember yesterday's post about working ahead, batching and doing whatever you can to stay on top of your blog? Well this post is an example of what not to do. For instance, don't neglect to take photos ahead of time and instead force yourself to pose in the rain at 5 p.m.... Just don't do it. Oh, and if you know you're going to an event after work (Cirque de Soleil, whaaaat!), do not leave the editing and writing of your next day's post until after you get home... You know, unless you actually like staying up until 1 a.m. and being a total crankasaurus at work the next day. Seriously, don't do it.

{Style} Opposites Attract...

Forget variety, juxtaposition is the spice of life, so why not thrown on a jumbo-sequin mini with an army coat? Any excuse to pair the unpairable is fine by me, so bring on the unlikely combos. Sweatpants with spike heels? Sure. A leather pencil skirt with a slouchy sweater? Totally! A fabulous gown with a bomber jacket? Why not! Anything goes, or at least that's what I tell myself to justify the way I dress... Break it to me gently, guys. xx

{Valentine's Week} Pink + Red...

You guys know I'm a sucker for girlie, over-the-top proclamations of love and the like (ummm, hello!), so naturally a theme week was in order... First up, the colour scheme. Nothing says Valentine's day quite like a little pink-and-red action, so to honour that I went waaaay overboard with both. Typical. To bring this point home, let me tell you a little story: When I described this outfit to my friend Ashley yesterday, she lifted her hand, drew a deep breath and matter-of-factly said "no" before I could get past the varsity jacket. She was probably right but what can I say, I'm a sucker for a little festive colour blocking... Bring it on, Valentine's! xx

New Years Eve is nothing without friends and loved ones, and who better to celebrate and spread a little sparkly cheer with than my good buddy Kastles? We threw on some festive bits (now covered in perma-glitter thanks to those hats!), shiny bobs (like my Lulus.com dress) and had ourselves a little party... Good times. So pop some bubbly and sequin-up my friends, because it's time to party like it's, well, 2012... xx

On Kastles: blouse- Forever 21; sequin skirt- Joe Fresh; ring- Betsey Johnson;  bracelets- H&M & Mbellish // On me: dress c/o Lulus.com; tights- Forever 21; bracelets- vintage & Blue Vanilla; ring- Forever 21

{Weekend Update} The Coffee Date...

No, this isn't some shameless Starbucks plug; This, my friends, is a glimpse into my weekend. I kicked things off with a lovely coffee date with my good pal Andrew — isn't he the cutest?! We gabbed over warm bevies and, true to blogger form, snapped some outfit pics when we were done. Typical.

Happy Monday, lovelies! What did y'all get up to? I wanna know! xx

Pink & Green...

What's white and pink and green all over? Well, me, apparently... But looking like a total watermelon is a small price to pay to the summer Gods, am I right? So keep the sunshine coming, and I'll stand in front of every bright green wall I can find! I know, I know, I'm such an altruist...

Happy Thursday, lovelies! xx

Fancy Fine...

Good morning, lovelies! Today is already shaping up to be one of those days where I struggle to keep up with my scary-long to-do list, so this post is going to be short and sweet... In fact, I'll just leave you with this weekend's humble realization: I'm officially obsessed with trousers. I've worn them before, but it took me a while to officially get on board (what can I say, I like dresses!). But now I'm here and I'm loving it... Thoughts? You guys are waaay cooler than me so you probably reached this conclusion eons ago, but hey, better late than never, right?

Outfit details: blazer- H&M; sequinned top- Forever 21; navy trousers- Forever 21; patent flats- Sam Edelman; necklaces- Les Arts Plastiques & Loft 82; ring- Forever 21; watch- Michael Kors; bracelet- House of Harlow

Coral Crush...

Yesterday was a beautiful day, which I spent galavanting with a dear friend... We checked out Royal Bison for some incredible crafts, had some refreshments and basked in the sun — Totes amaze. I got some pretty cool jewelry at the fair (see item 3 above!), as well as an adorable calendar printout that I promptly wrinkled and creased... What a girl.

What did you guys get up to this weekend? I wanna know! xx
