How has your week been? I'm looking forward to some social time this weekend. Tonight I'm having dinner with my out-of-town cousins and tomorrow we are celebrating a friend's birthday at El Furniture Warehouse, a new spot in town that is apparently awesome--and doesn't have a website.
Hope you have a good one!

O U T F I T D E E T S : DUSTER CARDIGAN | H&M BLACK DENIM FLARES (PETITE, SPLURGE) | SIRENS CAMI (SIMILAR) | IRO HEELS | H&M FRINGE BAG (SIMILAR) | SUNGLASSES | SECOND-HAND NECKLACE (SIMILAR)
I have the hardest time finding pants that are long enough for me so I squealed when these H&M flares fit my 5'11 frame. If you're tall, run to your nearest H&M and scoop them up immediately because they are (1) on trend and (2) only $30! I couldn't find them online but they are new in store. I also love the undone hem (which is helpful in the length department).
I'm feeling duster cardigans, and this one is perfect for Fall. I think they look so pretty and feminine with anything you pair it with. I would rock them with skinny jeans or even over shorts for an effortless look. When shopping, look for one that meets just below the knee to mid-calf for a flattering fit.
O U T F I T D E E T S : BLAZER | BCBG CAMI (LOVE THIS) | DISTRESSED FLARES | IRO HEELS | H&M FRINGE BAG (SIMILAR) | SUNGLASSES
When I first spotted these flares, it was love at first sight. The distressed wash, the button fly and the undone hem? I'm all in and my 16 year-old self is also thrilled. Additionally, I'm taking full advantage of the trend now before the snow flies and I'm back in my skinny jeans tucking them into boots.
When looking for the perfect flares, look for something with a high waist to nip you in and make your legs look super long--mine are a medium rise. For pairings, try a flowy top to go full on boho (this blouse is so pretty), a simple tee with a half tuck keeps it casual, or try pairing it with a faux leather blazer to toughen them up.
On Sunday morning, we were up super early to hit the road to head to Chateau Montebello, a Fairmont resort about an hour from Ottawa. We went to celebrate our anniversary and I'd love to share a ton of photos, if you'd like to see...
Hi ladies! Happy long weekend--hope you're having a great one. It's pouring rain here now but it's been absolutely sunny and hot all weekend long--a really nice way to round out the Summer.
If you follow me in other places, you know that Marco and I went away for our anniversary this weekend. I was putting together the recap and it was quite lengthy so I've decided to break it up into two parts, essentially Friday and Saturday, and then our time away in Montebello from Sunday to Monday (which will be up tomorrow). So with that, onto the snaps...
Friday night, supporting the Jays and grabbing a few groceries.
