O U T F I T D E T A I L S : DIY KIMONO (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS) | CHIFFON CAMI | URBAN PLANET DENIM SHORTS (SIMILAR) | LACE UP FLATS | BAG (BUDGET FRIENDLY OPTION) | NECKLACE
Tulips have been my favourite flower for as long as I can remember, and every year Ottawa hosts the most beautiful festival. It attracts tons of tourists but it's also fun to go down and check out all the beautiful blooms if you're from the area. While I'm a little late with this post, there are so many great, Summer activities coming up where you want to look pulled together, be comfortable and keep cool, and I think something like this is perfect for those occasions.
I'm a huge fan of light-weight kimonos and you're going to be seeing a lot more of them on the blog this Summer--they such an easy, Summer staple that you can throw on and go. It's less structured than a blazer, cooler than a cardigan, but still offers a bit of coverage when you need it. I made mine last year after having the fabric sit in my fabric box for over a year, essentially by tracing a kimono I already have, and surging the edges. If you'd be interested in a video tutorial, leave me a comment down below.

O U T F I T D E T A I L S : F21 OFF THE SHOULDER TOP (SIMILAR, SIMILAR) | WHITE SKINNIES | HEELS | BAG | CHOKER | SUNGLASSES | EAR CLIMBER
Summer is a great time to experiment with your look and this is definitely something I'd wear for a date night or a night out with the girls. It's comfortable, elevated and stylish with the off-the-shoulder. These shoulder-baring tops are everywhere right now and I've already scooped up a few to add to my closet.
Whether fitted or flow--my preference--pair these tops with skinny jeans, flared denim, skirts and a personal fave, distressed denim shorts to an easy, stylish look. Dressed down with flat gladiator sandals looks great or pair with heels like I did and you're ready for a night on the town.
Hi ladies! Hope you had a great weekend--I meant to get these snaps up sooner but it's just been 'one of those weeks' thus far but here we are so onto the recap...
On Saturday morning, I was up and off to New York state to pick up several items at the post office I had shipped there. Normally Marco and I make the trip together--it's about an hour drive--but he was in a golf tournament and I couldn't wait any longer for my items.
It was a beautiful day and the drive was great.
O U T F I T D E T A I L S : CROCHET KIMONO | DYNAMITE DRESS -- OLD (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS) | LACE UP HEELS | ALDO STUDDED CLUTCH -- OLD (SIMILAR, HOT PINK)
When I picked up this kimono the other day, I kept envisioning it with this snug, white dress from my closet... that I never wear. Seriously, you ladies know, tight is not really my thing when it comes to tops and dresses (okay, sometimes it's my thing), but I knew it would be the perfect date night look and so almost, ethereal and pretty.
I picked up this dress for a Vegas trip a couple years ago and love it with the soft, flowy kimono. Since then, I've paired this kimono with skinnies and a chiffon cami and know it's going to get tons of play this Summer in similar looks or with shorts. Such a beautiful and affordable statement piece.
O U T F I T D E T A I L S : DISTRESSED CROP TANK | SPORTS BRA | HIGH-WAISTED LEGGINGS | HIGH TOP SNEAKERS
I have been obsessed with high-waisted leggings for about six months now, specifically for the gym. They keep you held in, are uber flattering and if the seaming is right, give the booty some shape.
I wanted to share my new leggings, which I'm slightly obsessed with--I love that they have a bit of a sheen to them, but not so much that it's shiny. They are thick but not warm, very high waisted (perfect especially if you're tall) and super long--I have been rolling mine up to create a cropped look for Summer. The perfect pair to add to my collection (and to motivate me to get to the gym!).
