Just a quick one today! How to style a silk scarf #1


A great way to winterize a light scarf is to wear it mixed with another thicker scarf: it adds volume and keeps you cozy!

Fact: I am obsessed with this hat, the best sunday afternoons are spent reading magazines down a random aisle at chapters, and sparkles and pearls go with everything.

coco and vera





*photography by ianlloydphotography*


Have you SEEN this gorgeous girl yet? I love Cee of Coco and Vera's parisienne chic style, especially when complimented by a Denj + LaurenElan bracelet! If you haven't seen her wonderful blog yet, you need to; especially because she's about take off for Paris and become a true Parisienne for a few weeks. Jealous? I think so.

shopped: 69 vintage














I just got back from a trip to 69 Vintage on Queen Street with Leah of Little Red Purse! The store is filled with amazing finds, all perfectly selected and curated by owner Kealan Sullivan. Its so easy to fall in love with vintage pieces when you don't have to dig through piles of junk to find the good stuff. The whole store IS the good stuff. After trying on a few sequinned tops (ALL of which I wanted!) and a perfect knitted cape complete with baubles as buttons, I settled on an amazing fur collar. (You will be seeing it in upcoming posts very soon!) If you are lucky enough to live in, or around Toronto, you need to visit!

PS. Sorry my photos aren't up to their usual quality today. My  usual lens is getting a repair so I was using my lensbaby lens instead. It's not really best for indoor photography, so they kind of ended up with vintage look, which I guess is actually very appropriate!

outfit du jour: snow safari









boots: Locale, dress: Zara, cardigan: Aritzia, belt: French Connection, hat: H&M. *Photography by RSimmen


My obsession with all things cheetah is getting worse. I added a blouse and this dress to my collection this week (don't tell my mom! haha) I can't wait to wear this in the spring - or at least not in the midst of a snowstorm! I've definitely noticed a few changes in my style lately , for years I absolutely hated everything brown and never wore any of it, but lately I've been drawn to it - even went so far as to pair it with black!


Happy Weekend!

outfit du jour + photo diary












top: Joe Fresh, boots: Bronx, James Jeans via Bicyclette Boutique, cardigan: Club Monaco, necklace: Anthropologie


I had to get ready in less than 15 minutes so I just threw a few of my favourite things on, and voila! Plus a big chunky necklace always seems to bring an outfit together when you're in a rush. The top belongs to my little sister, she forgot it when she went back to university after Christmas and I've been taking full advantage. I'm kinda getting into this whole jean-on-jean thing which I totally didn't see coming, and now I'm officially on the hunt for my own perfect chambray button-up!

designer crush: julia rothman






all designs by Julia Rothman


 


Julia Rothman is one of my absolute FAVOURITE pattern designers/illustrators. She has such a distinct and unique style, using a combination and whimsical hand drawn elements and bold colour choices.  I love that she often chooses to focus on ordinary objects such as shoes or keys in her designs, making them beautiful and exciting.
