Hello dear readers! Happy Friday! Last weekend, Brandon and I went to Niagara Falls for a mini getaway and had such a wonderful time. So much beauty, especially at this time of year. The sun was shining, the flowers were blooming, and there was a warm gentle breeze. Perfect day for sightseeing. This is the outfit I wore to stroll the streets of Niagara and admire the beauty of the Horseshoe Falls.
This dress is a recent purchase from H&M and it is THE MOST flattering dress! It's very feminine, flowy and flirty. I try to stay away from printed dresses because trends come and go but you can never go wrong with a black and white print.
These shoes are a recent addition to my shoe collection and it was love at first sight. Ghillies are a big trend for this year's spring and summer seasons and I couldn't be any more thrilled. Loving the blocked heel which makes walking in heels much more comfortable.
I hope everyone has a great weekend! Thank you so much for reading!
Hello dear readers. I'm starting off the month of June with a bright pop of colour! The "red + white + black" combination is always a classic look and definitely a favourite of mine. At times, bright colours can be a bit of a challenge but pairing them with black and white keeps things simple and classic. You can never go wrong with this mix.
A bold red mani is always a great choice for any season but sometimes all you need is a little bit of colour on the tips. This red blazer already makes a bold statement so I kept my mani simple with just a touch of red.
What I'm wearing ::
Blazer ~ Ricki's
Jeans ~ Urban Planet
Striped Top ~ H&M
Shoes ~ ShoeMint
Bag ~ Daily Look
I hope everyone is having a great week so far.

Jeans paired with a tee and a blazer is basically my uniform during the spring season. It's comfortable and effortless. Perfect for an afternoon spent at the mall which is what Mum and I did over the long weekend. We tried to take advantage of the Victoria Day sales but unfortunately we both came out empty handed. Ever have those shopping days when nothing seems to fit right?
I was so thrilled when I spotted this J. Crew factory dotted tee. Rose gold has been my favourite of the metallics for a while now so I instantly fell in love with this rose gold and silver dotted tee. It can easily be dressed up or down and I'm really looking forward to pairing it with other items in my wardrobe.
This white and rose gold watch from Vivah was a Christmas gift from Mum and it has been my favourite watch ever since!
There's something so elegant and feminine about a lace dress. I've worn this dress on a few occasions and I love how versatile it is. It can be dressed up with a statement necklace or dressed down with simple accessories and a trench coat.
I was so thrilled when I spotted this dress. I really fell in love with the eyelash lace design.
I've had this pink leather jacket for years and while organizing my spring/summer wardrobe, I realized that it never made it onto the blog. This is one of my favourite jackets. It's blush pink and has ruffles! It's perfection! Unfortunately I don't get to wear it as often as I would like because it's been more of an in-between-seasons transition piece.
These "girlfriend" jeans are a recent purchase from H&M. They are super comfortable! You can't tell by these pictures but they are actually high wait jeans, which I love. Perfect for crop tops and half tucked tees.
I was so thrilled when I spotted this really pretty girl print top from Suzy Shier. Most days I feel that I've outgrown that store but every once in a while I spot something really great!

Vests are back this season in a very big way. Everywhere I look, whether in stores or online, I'm seeing sleeveless blazers, long waterfall vests, trench vests and maxi vest. It's going to be a hot trend this summer and I couldn't be more thrilled. It's a very versatile piece that can be worn over fitted dresses, pencil skirts, skinny jeans and shorts.
The long knit vest that I wore for this post was a huge fall/winter staple for me and although it has proven to be a great transitional piece for spring, I'm really looking forward to adding a few lightweight overpieces to my summer wardrobe.
Hello dear readers! It's been much too long since my last post! Spring is finally here and I'm so excited to be blogging again. What better way to start things off than partnering up with my favourite brand! The very nice people over at Ricki's sent me this gorgeous red textured blazer which is the perfect pop of colour for spring. Red is such a classic colour. It's great for any season and never goes out of style. As part of their How to Wear Red campaign, I was given the opportunity to work with Ricki's and style this blazer. Whether it's a handbag, necklace, top or blazer, I hope to inspire you to add a bit of red to your wardrobe this season.
In my experience, red looks best with neutrals. Two of my favourite pairings are red, white and black (worn here) and red, white and blue (worn here) and (here), but it also looks good paired with nude/tan or grey.
Although this blazer would look great with dress pants or a skirt, business attire and work apparel don't really fit my lifestyle because my job requires a uniform. Lucky for me, blazers also look great paired with jeans!One of my favourite things to do is dress up a pair of jeans and a plain tee with a blazer and a statement necklace. It's comfortable, relaxed and always looks well put together. It's casual chic and it has been one of my go-to looks for years.
I rarely wear my blazers buttoned up so the fact that there are no buttons really makes it ideal for me.
This plain white tee is a recent purchase from Ricki's and I highly recommend it.I love it so much, I left the store with all three colours! It might seem like an ordinary tee but it has this great little twist at the hem which instantly gives you that "half tuck" look without actually having to tuck it in. Effortless style.
From afar, this blazer appears to be just a plain red blazer but up close you can really see the details in the fabric. I love how the textured fabric and the zippered pockets add a bit of pizzazz.
