{Halloween Week} The Witching Hour

Dress- Suka Clothing | booties via Ordinary People | clutch- DIY | skull necklace- Zara | ring + bracelets- Forever 21

Hello and welcome to another theme week! First up in our Halloween lineup is this witchy, goth-inspired dress from Edmonton label Suka Clothing. I've had it hiding in my closet for over a year now, but didn't have occasion to wear it until now. Something about the print and midriff cut-outs really spoke to me, especially when planning a Halloween-inspired look to kick off the week. And when paired with this Kenzo-esque eye clutch, pointy booties and skull necklace, I'd say the witching hour is officially here. xx

{Style} Happy Pants...

In the dead of winter, a little floral print can do wonders for morale...  Take it from me, with over a month of snow under my belt, nothing cheers me up quite like some peppy pants. That, and cheesecake. And ice cream.  Ooooh, and pretty much all carbs. Luckily for you guys this isn't a food blog... Although Adventures in Gluttony kinda has a nice ring to it, no?

{Details} Tie One On...

Can we just take a minute to talk about scarves? I don't know what it is about these little strips of fabric, but they bring me joy like nobody's business. There's just so many styles, prints and finishes to choose from that I can't help wanting them all... Not exactly helpful when you're battling Stuffed Closet Syndrome (commonly known as SCS), but I digress.

This Beta scarf is my latest flavor of the week, with its cute colour, skull motif and silky goodness constantly leaving me wanting more... And did I mention the whole silk thing? Sorry, but it bares repeating... Silk. OK there, I'm done.

Happy Wednesday lovelies! xx

{Style} Lost & Found...

After weeks of procrastination and dread at the very thought of it, I'm proud to report that my closet is  finally organized. That's right my friends, it's nothing but neat and tidy as far as the eye can see. The process was cathartic and ripe with discovery— take this skirt for instance. I bought it last year and only wore it twice before it found itself trapped behind a stack of tops and miscellanea, never again to see the light of day until this very moment. Liberating. Unfortunately for me (and the skirt) it's only a matter of time before my closet avalanches out of control again, but let's just enjoy the moment, shall we?

Happy Monday, friends! Hope everyone had a fab weekend... xx

Wardrobe Wednesday...

I love accessories more than words, so when the days get longer and temperatures spike, there's nothing greater than piling on the bracelets and slipping into a pair of fun sandals. These accessories (shoes are kind of an accessory, right?) have been my go-tos this week, elevating them to Wardrobe Wednesday status. Of particular note is the pink spike bracelet and studded collar — both from The Bay — and the jelly sandals I bought last year at Winners (they're like walking on air!). The take away? It doesn't take much to make me happy; just a simple skull or spike will do.

Happy Wardrobe Wednesday, my pretties! 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

Wardrobe Wednesday // Instagram Edition

I love shopping as much as the next girl, but I've been trying to cutback a bit this month as a bit of a personal challenge... Now I know you must be thinking 'Wow, she must really hate herself,' but I assure you, I do not... I just wanted to try my hand at reducing my clothing consumption while making more out of what I already have. And although I've picked up a couple things here and there (see my Forever 21 jewelry haul above!), it feels pretty darn good saving money for a change... Go figure.

So for this week's Wardrobe Wednesday I thought it best to focus on some cherished accessories and my new favourite store, with only minimal attention paid (no pun!) to new purchases... I must be turning a new leaf or something! xx

Clockwise from top: Clothing & amazing oxfords from Loft 82; skull bracelet from H&M Against AIDS (so cute!); a few of my fave lip colours from Joe Fresh, Revlon & Sephora; a super old nail polish DIY on old H&M rings; my House of Harlow bangle and new Forever 21 bracelet; my latest jewelry haul from Forever 21; a nail polish DIY I did for the Edmonton Journal
