{Style} Easy Rider...
As temperatures rise, I'm all about laid-back separates... The only trouble is when you find yourself wearing white, which inevitably leads to a day spent agonizing over if that skirt that looked so good in the bedroom mirror that morning is in fact see-through under in the blazing sun. Turns out it wasn't, but just try and tell that to the neurotic voice in my head... Hashtag spazz. xx

{Style} Rainbow Bright...
Yesterday was Thursday, today it is Friday — and let me tell you friends — we, we, we so excited... And in case you're wondering if I really just made a Rebecca Black reference, well yes, yes I did — Still want to be my friend?
Soooo, what's everyone getting up to this weekend? Mr. AiF and I are road tripping to BC to see my family (hurray!), and as soon as I decide which seat to take (last one, I promise) the good times are gonna roll... Happy weekending, friendlies!
But before I leave you for reals, just a quick note to congratulate Lori Bazan for winning the StyleNV clutch giveaway last week — I hope you like it, girl! xx

{Style} Purple Pop...
Purple is my new jam, because no matter what I seem to do, it's always creeping into my wardrobe via pants, a new blazer and even jewelry (win your own Les Arts Plastiques necklace here!). This isn't normally my favourite colour, but for whatever reason I seem to be all about it this season. Another thing I'm all about lately? Translucent bags. I found this one on Etsy, and since my DIY skills weren't quite up to the challenge, I ordered two... Hey, when you find yourself a good thing, you don't mess. xx

{Style} Big News!!!
For the past four days I've been keeping a pretty major secret from you guys, and it's been killing me not to share my happy news with my closest online friends (you know, I had to get all those pesky real life people out of the way first!). Drumroll please... On Christmas Eve, Mr. AiF and I got engaged!!!! *Cue the fist pumping, jumping up and down and uncontrollable giggling*
I'll spill the details in a later post (one that's not just an outfit post featuring my new bling!), but because the past few days have been some of the happiest of my life, I just HAD to share the news with you guys! Yay!!!!
Love you all! xx

{Details} Casual Club...
Now don't judge, but every now and then I feel compelled to bring my vintage Club Monaco sweatshirt out of hibernation. I don't know what it is about that old, familiar logo and its circle-engulfed crest, but I love it. Maybe it's because these sweatshirts saw me through my childhood (that, and pacifier jewelry) making them steeped with nostalgia, or the fact that every crush I ever had ages eight through 10 sported these bad boys too. Shrug. Whatever it is, the CM sweatshirt is alive and well in my heart and on the blog today... I'm sorry and you're welcome. xx

{Copy Cat} Alexa Chung
I've admired Alexa Chung's style for quite some time now because, let's face it, the girl has a way with clothes. It doesn't hurt that she's tiny and gorgeous to the point where even a ratty old potato sack would look good on her, but I digress. Reflecting on what makes here style so iconic and enduringly chic, I think it all comes down to effortlessness and accessibility, and to prove it (at least the accessibility part), I pulled items from my existing wardrobe to mimic Alexa's style. Even though my version is nowhere near as spectacular as hers, I had a lot of fun recreating her look with items I already had in my closet... And if I can mimic her style with little-to-no effort, you can too.
Happy Tuesday, lovelies! xx

Red Bow...
I'm not sure why, but I really enjoy looking like a little girl... Something about the cut of this dress reminds me of my 2nd grade wardrobe and, well, the bow headband kinda speaks for itself. Maybe it's some kind of revolt against getting older — or maybe it's just a sign of emotional immaturity — but either way, I'm digging the whole "eight-year-old girl" look... *shrug*
Happy Monday, lovelies! xx
