O U T F I T  D E E T S :  AEROPOSTALE TANK - OLD (SIMILAR)  |  SHORTS - ON SALE!  |  F21 SPORTS BRA (SIMILAR)  |  SHOES  |  LULULEMON BAG - OLD (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS ONE)  |  ALDO SUNGLASSES (SIMILAR)

This is a typical gym outfit outfit for me (I swap out my kicks for these upon arrival).  I love the edge of the graphic tee paired with the bright coloured shorts.  The open back and strappy sports bra adds some style which is a fun way to make getting to the gym a little easier.  #whatevergetsyouthere 

I've talked quite a bit about working out and my routines over the past couple years and one thing I've always gravitated towards are shorts.  Shorts are a great way to play up your legs and keep cool at the same time.  I rotate between pairing them with a looser fitting graphic tee, or my favourite snugger fitting tanks.  I also love the look paired with a long sleeved tee for when the temperature drops at night or you want to show a little less skin.



O U T F I T  D E E T S :  FREE PEOPLE SWEATER (SIMILAR)  |  CHARLOTTE RUSSE SHORTS - OLD (SIMILARSIMILAR, LOVE THESE)  |  ALEXANDER WANG WEDGES - SOLD OUT (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS SIMILAR MULE VERSION)  |  VINTAGE CLUTCH  |  SUNGLASSES  |  NECKACE

A bit of a twist on the neutrals, all nude, which is a great way to keep things fresh for Summer, if you're a monochromatic lover like myself.  

 I love wearing a a solid colour from head to toe, it looks chic without trying too hard.  It's also pretty easy to pull off.  The interest comes from the details: the knit sweater, the crochet shorts, the patent wedges--all very different, but complimentary and interesting when paired together.  I love the look of this nude or all grey together, but of course black is my go-to in a pinch.

 
On Friday night, after running around and piling groceries and crap into my car, I stopped at Petit Bills to grab the pecan burger to take home for dinner.  I haven't had this in over a year but it's so freaking good.  I'm a huge burger lover to begin with, and never go for the veggie variety, but this one is top notch.

My new bikini tops came in from F21 and they are super cute.  I'm loving the on-trend halter/high-neck look; it's athletic and chic.  The fit is definitely small, so size up (I got large).
 

O U T F I T  D E E T S :  ROMPER  |  HEELS - OLD (SIMILAR, SIMILAR)  |  CLUTCH / IPAD CASE  |  NECKLACE  |  SUNGLASSES

Although I'm not much of a dress person--I much prefer pants and shorts, or even a skirt--rompers are one thing I absolutely love.  It's a one-stop-shop for dressing but like the dress' cooler, big sister.  When I find one that fits me, I have to scoop it up.  This one from H&M is extra great because of the sleeves--which is perfect for evening (and great for ladies who like to keep their arms covered).

I dressed this up with some single-sole sandals I've had for several years that are still going strong.  If you're looking to up your shoe game, a strappy pair like this will get a ton of mileage from dressier looks like today or a more casual, edgy vibe like this.  They are one of my go-to style of shoes; they work from day to night, and with wedding season upon us will take you from ceremony to the dance floor.  Definitely a great, simplistic shoe you can add to your wardrobe at various price points.


O U T F I T  D E E T S :  HOODED DENIM JACKET (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS) |  OLD NAVY TANK - OLD (SIMILAR)  |  SHORTS (SIMILAR, DISTRESSED)  |  URBAN PLANET GLADIATOR SANDALS (SIMILAR, SIMILAR, LOVE THESE)  |  FRINGE BAG  |  BIZOU FLAT TOP SUNGLASSES (BUDGET FRIENDLY, WANT THESE SO BAD)

As most of you know, I'm Canadian so yesterday I was celebrating Canada Day with my friends (did you see the SnapChats?  I'm acoest1984 & they should still be live if you're here early enough) and also the long-awaited birth of my new nephew (eek!).

That said, I didn't get a post up in time for Canada Day style #redandwhiterepresent but since I know a lot of my ladies are American, I had to share this look as I love a good red-white-blue combo.

This look is super easy and perfect for a BBQ or picnic--just throw on some white shorts, a red top with some detail and a denim jacket--or swap the white shorts for denim shorts and throw on a white jacket instead.  Pair it with some gladiator sandals and a fringe bag to add some style and it's the perfect festive yet comfortable and chic look to take you from day to fireworks.  Also, I threw some white pants in my bag to take with me to keep warm just in case.
