Olive Shift

Dress: H&M, Shoes: c/o Zara, Bag: Rebecca Minkoff, Sunglasses: c/o Polette, Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelets: Stella & Dot and c/o Stowe Street

If you follow me on twitter (ahem, and if you don't, you can click here to follow along!) you might have seen my tweet about scoring big time at H&M's extra 50% off sale this weekend! I scooped up a blazer, trousers, and this little shift dress all for $39! This dress was $10, and it was something I had been eyeing for a while. I've learned that when there is a lot of the same item left on the sale rack, chances are it's going to fit me. A lot of H&M items don't fit me properly, but the things that don't seem to fit anyone else fit me quite well. Ha! I'm not sure what this says about my body, but either way, I walked away with a cute $10 shift dress, so I really can't complain. I love the faux leather shoulder details! 

I'm back at the office after a lovely long weekend that went much too quickly and involved more beer & wine than I anticipated. ;) It was still fairly low key and was mostly spent with the fella and some out of town friends, but I spent the rainy holiday Monday cuddled indoors reading blogs, making chili and catching up on episodes of Veep! 

Happy Tuesday!

Navy & Neon

Dress: c/o Joe Fresh, Necklace: c/o T+J Designs, Bag: Coach, Shoes: c/o Vince Camuto, Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelet: Stella & Dot, Sunnies: ASOS

I'm sure I've mentioned this at some point before, but in addition to the blog, I also work a full time day job with the provincial government. Going into summer I have felt like my work wardrobe is seriously lacking, and I rotate the same few things over and over again. I've been making a conscious effort to keep the office in mind when shopping lately, and this navy eyelet shift dress totally fits the bill. It's light weight, the perfect office appropriate without feeling frumpy length, and can easily be layered up for cooler days.

I'm also completely obsessed with my new neon necklace from T + J Designs! Obsessed! It's such an amazing statement piece for summer, and I seem to be crazy about neon yellow lately. (It all started with my neon skater skirt purchase from topshop!) This one is definitely going to be on heavy rotation!

I hope my fellow Canadians are enjoying their extra day off! Happy Victoria Day!

Weekend Wear

Karen Walker Super Duper Strength Sunnies / Zoe Karssen Tee / Balmain Striped Blazer / Essie Hip-Anema / Rag & Bone The Dre Cropped Boyfriend Jeans /  Michael Kors Buckle Bracelet / House of Harlow Blue Star Aztec Bangle / House of Harlow White Sand Sunburst Earrings /  Rebecca Minkoff Woven Bonnie Satchel / Converse Chuck Taylor All-Star Sneakers

As I mentioned yesterday, it's a long weekend here in Canada and I am keeping things pretty low key - running errands, watching the fella play rugby, going to the market, etc! The temps are also pretty cool today, so this would be my ideal running around town outfit! Comfy sneaks (I am obsessed with the idea of white converse all-star's lately... must grab a pair for summer!), easy denim, a cute tee and a gorgeous blazer, bag and jewels to finish it off!

What are you all up to for the weekend? And what would your ideal weekend wear be?

Song of the Week!

Happy Friday, friends! Not only is it the weekend but it's a long weekend - It's Victoria Day weekend here in Canada which means 3 glorious days off. I feel like it's very much needed and I'm actually really glad that I've got little to nothing on the go. 

I plan to mega clean and organize my bedroom & closet, have a few drinks with some out of town friends home for the weekend, and watch the fella play in his first rugby game! Guaranteed I'll very much be the nervous girlfriend on the sidelines hoping his face stays in tact and no bones are broken. Gah! 

I thought the long weekend deserved an upbeat song, but it's rainy & cold and I'm feeling low key so Frightened Rabbit it is! We listen to these guys a lot in the car and I've grown to love them quite a lot.

I hope you all have wonderful weekends! Any big plans?

Whites, Brights & Prints (for under $50!)

White & lime laser cut out dress / White chiffon floral blouse / Floral body con dress

Floral print blazer / White blazer / Geometric blouse & skirt set

This spring I feel myself lusting over brights & whites - there is something so fresh about a vibrant pink, orange or lime paired with a stark, crisp white, especially when combined with fun prints! 

I'd love to add any of the above to my wardrobe, and don't even know what I love most... the laser cutout dress is so gorgeous in white & lime, and that vibrant body con dress has me dreaming of hot summer nights on the town! And that last dress that looks like a peplum? It's actually a two piece skirt & top, which allows you to mix & match with other pieces (genius!) 

And if you're like me and want to buy everything in sight right now, the good news is that all of these items are under $50, so you can fill your closet without feeling too guilty! ;) 

Happy Wednesday!
