    black tights 

           Sometimes the weather forces me to make a few outfit compromises. With the main one in winter being wearing tights.

    winter whites 

                           I’m not sure where the saying that you can’t wear white after labour day came from, but I’m not buying it. I think white looks crisp and fresh in all seasons, and these pants with a sweater, coat and booties are totally fall appropriate. As you all know I am…

    home again, home again

             I’m sitting in my living room in Vancouver after 8 glorious days in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico. The whole trip was awesome – we got a lot of sunshine, some crazy beautiful storms and most importantly so much relaxing. I read 4 books, wore barely any make-up, and ate an astronomical amount…

    basic beaches – vacation essentials 

                  Everyone has their own packing style. Some plan outfits, some bring it all and some take as little as possible and hope for the best. I’m somewhere between A and B, starting with the best intentions of planning and then end up throwing in other things the night before I leave.…

    what to wear to the airport 

          I’ve done a post on what to wear when you’re travelling before, but it’s something I always think through in the days before I’m leaving on a trip. Right now I am on route to Mexico, and going to a very warm destination from a relatively cold and rainy one brings its own…

        I love how chic and simple monotone looks are, so when I picked up this coat I decided to put one together using it as the main attraction. I know most girls are pros at wearing all black, but more and more I have been seeing all white, tan or grey outfits. I think…

    scrunchie time 

             When I started dating my boyfriend, he would tease me for having a hair elastic around my wrist at all times. I thought every girl did this but apparently it’s just me. The ridicule was all in good fun, but I did eventually started keeping spare elastics in my bag or pockets instead.…

    how to wear all black without being boring 

            Wearing black from head to toe is definitely easy, and for this reason it has a reputation for being boring or safe. Most women gravitate towards black as it is universally flattering and more forgiving than any other shade.  I still think it can also be extremely eye-catching, chic and lots of fun…
