Half way there an #ootd

Crepe bomber jacket - BAR III (Macy's in NY)

Dress - H&M

Sandals & Sunglasses - XXI Forever 

The school year has ended and I can't believe that I am half way though my degree. Makes me wonder if the next 2 years will go by quicker or slower. Quicker I hope.

Hat's off an #ootd

Hat & Boots, Forever 21; Sweater, H&M; Pants, Loft

Before I got majorly sick this was a cute little outfit I wore to uni. Really happy with my hat purchase from Forever 21. I also saw a cute navy one at Aldo and I'm not going to lie, I was very tempted.

Toque an #ootd

A mirror OOTD? Leggo.

So long/short story about my cardigan, I bought it in New York City at Beacon's closet, it’s by Asos, and it was originally a shirt dress type of thing. After wearing it for a bit in the summer I thought, this would look so much better as a drape style cardigan thing. It was easy as taking my seam ripper to the front seam and ripping the seam out (redundant).

Paired with my H&M 13$ sweater that I love and that all my friends love and bought multiples of (you know who you are), my Aritzia leggings, and my TNA toque which was also kind of a daily. since I sliced off the visor part of it then sewed it up so it would look like a proper toque.

Sometimes you got to change things up for the better.

To keep me warm in the cold I got on my trusty Zara coat and a scarf that my sister gave me which I believe is from Forever 21.

How’s your weekend going so far?

Guess Pleather Jacket; H&M Top; Aritzia Leggings; Forever 21 Boots; Kate Spade Wallet

The release of the CPL has changed the holiday season for me. I'm not huge on all the fall Starbucks drinks, but all the winter drinks I love! If you haven't tried this drink...well do it. Keeping it casual with a sparkly top and a pleather jacket.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend! This weekend has been filled with homework (sad), food and family. Simple comfy outfit because the weather is getting grayer day by day. Hope you've all had a good weekend and are ready for the leftovers and the work week ahead.

Sweater and Dress from H&M

I've been searching a long time to find a sweater like this! Its all knit, only seam is the side seam and the neckline is perfect! the shape is baggy and comfy, basically can be worn on top of anything or paired with a nice pair of blue jeans. H&M is doing it right this season, that's for sure. The heathered white/grey is my ideal sweater color this fall.

School has just stared but I can already feel the pressure. I'm staying calm and thinking rationally and realistically. I've been managing my time better and working like a mad woman. 

I had to take time out on this day to take an OOTD. I loved my outfit. I was feeling dramatic and wore a little black eye shadow to uni, oh la la. 

This past week and a half-ish has been interesting. Lesson learned so far?....

 "YOU CAN BE THE RIPEST JUICIEST PEACH IN THE WORLD 

 BUT THERE IS STILL GOING TO BE SOMEONE WHO HATES PEACHES" 

amen.

For the record, I love peaches. You're peachy...

Family Jewels

Bought this little birdy tier thing from Target.

Cocktail rings are close in my heart. I used to actually wear them in highschool (grade 12). I recently did a clear out of rings that had just gotten too rusty and battered so I thought it would be a good idea to blog about the rings that I kept. I mentioned in my Ring post (read here) that I want to start investing into good quality items of jewelry. I feel though, that statement accessories can be quite expensive to invest in. For pieces like these I plan to stick to good ol' Forever 21. Cheap rings that are tendy and cute and that don't put a dent in that cute little wallet you own.

Here are the ones I've held on to. A good selection of colors and shapes.

Do you guys prefer cocktail rings or more casual ones?

cloudy currently an #ootd

How can it still be so humid and rainy at the same time. I'm happy the sun is giving me a break from most of the heat, I really look forward to fall and winter weather. I miss wearing my Zara coat. Here is a little outfit I wore on a cloudy, cloudy day.

"I am kayak, hear me roar" an #ootd

Cardigan, H&M; Tank top, Aritzia; Trousers, Loft; NIKES

On this slightly grey vancity day my beautiful friend shot some photos of me styling my Nike's. I don't exactly know if I like how this looks. I think I do like it, although I wish my socks were white. Anyhow the next couple of outfit posts are featuring these Nike's because I was/am experimenting styling them!

Sorry for the rush post I haven't managed my time properly (bullet journal to begin..future post coming soon) I am quickly typing this with 20% battery left and sleep to catch seeing as I have to wake up tomorrow morning and go to work! Hope you all had a lovely weekend! I know I did :)

ALSO
let me know if any of you got the title reference! I will be thrilled

Shady matter

These sunglesses, were a steal. $6.80 at of course, Forever 21. I seriously just bought them because I was tired of repping my Uni free-bee sunglasses that all my friends made fun of. Now that I think if it, I was being kinda ridiculous to wear them ALL the time. I'm think about buying another pair of sunglasses, maybe a bit more expensive so that I can alternate between a nicer pair, probably more classic looking and these/ which every other cheap trendy ones I find.

As for the summer dress, the dresses at H&M fit me like a dream. There is something about the way it hugs my waist. The length is perfect the cut is perfect and I could probably wear it everyday of the damn week.

Unfortunately I think it's probably going to be my last wear for this one because I want to purchase some new dresses with a little more detail.

What does your summer time go dress look like? And what shades are you rockin?

Where are you going an #ootd

Wilfred Wool Hat, H&M Maxi Dress, XXI boots

I did a little shopping on the weekend because my amazing 2.5 year old Forever 21 booties had completely fallen apart. They were a suede-ish material and were basically the only shoes I used to wear. After coming to the realization that they were completely battered I went to Forever 21 and found these babies. (Post coming soon) Faux leather and heavenly.

This dress is lovely and long and there are 2 slits *oww owwww* ;) its so comfy and effortless and the hat is literally just decoration. I couldn't wear it the whole day because it was so HOT and my head was dying. But it added the extra shade of cool.

What do you think about maxis? Yay or nay?

Summer Blues an #ootd

Sorry for the very late post, I mistakenly scheduled two for tomorrow! 

Note to self *pay more attention Jess!

Shirt & Belt, H&M; Shorts, Old Navy

I couldn't decided which way to wear this look.
But I felt like I should have been in the Hampton's.

Casual or slightly more pulled together? Which do you prefer?
