May has come and gone and today I'm sharing my favourite beauty products (including a new skin care routine I'm loving), fashion and even a book!  Thanks for watching xo

Links to everything I mentioned & more pics below...

O U T F I T  D E E T S :  JOE FRESH TOP (SIMILAR) |  ZARA SKIRT (SIMILAR & LOVE THIS SUEDE VERSION)  |  HEELS  |  BAG (SPLURGE)  |  SUNGLASSES  |  NECKLACE

A leather pencil skirt--or faux leather in this case--is the perfect piece for any wardrobe.  With the right length, it can be taken from day to night in a snap.  I paired mine with these lace-up heels to make it more casual, while the open neckline makes it sexy.  However, with some nude pumps and a silk blouse, you'd be ready for the office Monday through Friday.


O U T F I T  D E E T S :  URBAN PLANET JACKET (SIMILAR & SIMILAR)  |  TANK  |  SIRENS SKORT (SIMILAR)  |  TALL GLADIATOR SANDALS  |  BAG (INEXPENSIVE ALTERNATIVE)  |  SUNGLASSES (COVETING THESE)  |  NECKLACE (SIMILAR)  |  THICK BANGLE  |  THIN BANGLE 

This outfit feels very me and something that I would reach for over and over again on the weekends.  I love a casual, edgy look and these gladiators fit the bill perfectly.  I can also see myself pairing them with a romper or a simple LBD.

The drapey jacket was a huge score that I picked up a few weekends ago when they were having a everything-is-$10.  I initially had my eye on this drapey trench but after picking this one up (which was regularly $60!), my need was fulfilled.  I've been pairing it with denim on the weekends and even dressier outfits to work during the week.

 
May was pretty awesome, and while nothing extraordinary happened and no trips were taken, the weather was beautiful and clearly I purchased several pairs of shoes--it doesn't get much better than that!
 
In May I shared a Spring Lookbook video, dressed down my boyfriend jeans, bought some new Supra kicks (also love these & these) that I have been wearing all the time at the gym and we had Marco's family come for a visit.  Later in the month we celebrated my mom's birthday with a donut cake, I had one of my best sandwiches of life from the gym's smoothie bar (what the whaaaa?!) and dressed up my boyfriend jeans.
 
I got my first pair of Stan Smiths, embraced the boho trend with a kimono and flares, and Marco and I went for a casual date night one weekend (I used this self tanner).  I met a girlfriend for dinner at El Camino (like last Summer), did some shopping and shared my Summer Shoe & Bag Picks.
 
I picked up some sweet gladiator sandals (similar options here & here), met my friend's new baby, wore these new lace-up heels almost daily and took in a beautiful sunset on the last day of the month with my man.

DYNAMITE BLAZER (SIMILAR)  |  TANK  |  DENIM  |  NAIL COLOUR

On Friday I went to visit my girlfriend and her new baby boy, Lukas (see a pic of us here at her baby shower back in March).  What a sweetheart!  Although I'm not ready for a baby quite yet, I love holding, feeding and fawning over them.  They are so little for such a short period of time, it's really special to meet them brand new.


On Saturday morning...
