living in a material world

As this weekend was a bit of a boring one, my sister and I headed out to our all-time favorite store, Holt Renfrew. While shopping, I couldn't help but staring at the mannequin displays. They were probably dressed way better than me! I love the outfits that were on them, and definately think they perfectly appeal to the typical Holt Renfrew contemporary girl.

don't stop, the feeling is growing.

My July Moodboard. We may be almost two weeks into the month already, but here are some looks and images that inspire my dressing for this month.

Your summer styled by ShopBop

I saw the first image when I first got onto the sight. I love the pieces and think they are great for summer. I want all of it! The second image is what I see as the perfect cover up. It`s fun and fresh and looks has the hippie bohemian vibe I enjoy. It would be perfect to wear over a swimsuit for a summer pool party or bbq. Even without the swimsuit, it`s cute to wear to a music festival. I`m planning my wardrobe for a trip to Europe coming up in August (yes, I plan way ahead!), and now have these pieces all floating around in my mind!

Love Her Style

Okay, I know she's the "bitch" on the City, but I just love her. While she sometimes can act a tad spoiled, I do agree with her most of the time and would kill for her wardrobe. She's so classic, but keeps up with the current trends. Her handbags are always beautiful as are her shoes. One aspect of her dressing that I like, is how she mixes high end desinger with brands like Zara. Also, her makeup is always spot on and so clean and classic looking.

the sun has got his hat on

I can't say why exactly, but there has been something in me lately that has been severely wanting a fedora. I finally found one that I liked at Holt Refrew and bought it last Friday. I wore it to my cottage on the weekend (a very old shorts and vacation tees kind of place) and received many comments. Mostly comments asking me who I thought I was and why I was so dressed up for the cottage. I don't care though, because I love it. Buying it totally made my Friday.

my obsessions are you're possessions

These ethnic patterned shorts are my new summer obsession. I'm so over my denim shorts in an array of cuts and colors and am looking for something more. I've been noticing these on models here and there, but finally pinned a couple pairs down on Singer 22. I think they are perfect for a summer holiday to be paired with a solid colored t or tank and dressed up or down. Also, most of them are made with silk, lighter fabrics, so they will pack so easily.

we stand on guard for thee

Yesturday was Canada Day for us in the North. It was a perfect day to just kick back and relax and do absolutely nothing at all. I spent it a home with my family just goofing around and doing nothing in particular. One notable event thought was shopping in my mother's closet. I ended up walking out with a pair of reflecting sunglasses and two amazingly cozy sweaters. The best part was that I didn't have to spend a dime.

In the evening, my sister and I went for dinner at a local steak house and discussed and decided upon weekend plans. Basically, just a more detailed planning of a weekend up at the cottage. The night was a bit cool, so I paired one of my favorite T By Alexander Wang tanks with my favorite pair of Ralph Lauren boots.
