a day in the life. day 4.

jacket + boots. zara. jeans. gap. shirt. uo. bag. prada.

casual day.

weather it's casual friday / a stroll down the city streets running errands/ a quick coffee with a girlfriend/ or perhaps a casual dinner in the subs.

a good "power" coat can carry you through.

with winter fast approaching i think we all crave a good/powerful coat. one that can carry us through a multitude of events. i think the key is cut/shape and a universal tone/color- a flattering cut to your body shape is golden! pair it was jeans... a dress... leggings + boots... and voila- instant punch with an extra inch of confidence. because you can't underestimate the first thing that catches the eye (especially during these cold, cold months ahead!)

a day in the life. day 3.

shirt. vintage. skirt. bbdakota. purse. uo. shoes. marni.

this outfit could carry you through multiple events.

girls night out/ meet the parents/ art opening/ classic movie night at the theatre / broadway show/ fashion presentation/

grab a pair of heels. a chain link bag & a skirt. and the possibilities are endless.

in ensemble + life!

had a glorious weekend in the warm canadian temps- i could get used to this.

if only this was our winter... it sadly gets much colder. i mean arctic temps.

a day in the life. day 2.

dress. topshop. jacket. zara. shoes. stevemadden.

date night.

grab a dress + leather coat + killer heels & some gold hoops.

and your boy will swoon.

have a whimsical weekend beauties.

a day in the life. day 1.

coat. h&m. shirt & purse. zara. pants. vintage. boots. topshop.

so i thought i would have fun.

post an outfit for a day/occasion/special dinner/nightout. for an entire week.

today = day 1: a morning brunch - sight-seeing in paris- an afternoon at the museum.

the key is a warm coat to get to & from. pants & walkable heels. keep it simple with flare. 

add ysl pink lippy for that parisian kiss!

sunsets@4.

shirt. vintage. skirt. club monaco. shoes. marni.

living in the southern hemisphere for four years + not having to deal with daylight savings, has left me in a complete daze. 

i swear it starts getting dark at 4:30pm and by 5:30-6 it feels like the longest day ever. by 7 i am pooped and out of whack. seriously. i feel even more like a grandma! 

winter is coming! see my red nose? oh my. wait until it snows...

but all i can do is bundle up in all my zara coats. frye boots and jumbo scarfs. and carry a enviro mug full of coffee and tea. all. day. long.

ps- thanks so much for all the birthday love. you guys are the best!

still have plans to do my favs. today will be filled with-

+coffee with a bestie

+family

+shopping with my sis

+sushi

+ strolling the outdoor shops with a coffee in hand

+ phone calls with my loved ones

+ coco chanel movie tonight, at the garneau vintage theatre with the girls

rednuderednude.

coat.zara. jeans. gap. shoes. chloe. purse. f21. sunglasses. rayban

definitely digging these warm temperatures. this kind of weather is not -seasonal.

rejoice!

+ the arrival of my chloe boots from africa.

along with all my books. i think the post lady broke her back carrying the boxes up the steps. poor thing. 

shed a few tears along the way.

ah what a journey!

also still looking for a new red lipstick. will the search ever end?

this is MAC russian red. but i still find that it bleeds and does not stay on for long.

suggestions? 

does the perfect red even exist.

in the navy.

blouse. club monaco. shorts. alexander wang for gap. bag. urban outfitters. shoes. steve madden

ahoy sailor.

this has to be my favorite item of clothing at the moment. i wish you could see it in detail... darn camera.

i love that military + navy articles of clothing have the masculine vibe i always crave, but add a cute tie in the front and all my dreams come true.

was wayyyyyy too cold to wear this out without tights. so i quickly pulled some on before i escaped for dinner. tight season is in full swing and i already found another pair to add to my collection. can't wait to show you!

have a wonderful start to your week.

november is a fabulous + my favorite month.

starbucks red cups reveal. my birthday. new moon. hopeful admissions letter. seasonal teas...and so much more.
