Today I'm sharing a mini designer haul. As I mention in the video, I don't buy a ton of designer pieces, but as I've gotten older, I've started to invest in things I really love. A lot of thought goes into these purchases, and they are never made on a whim--although that would be fun, wouldn't it?--and they are always pieces I have debated for some time.
I find that the majority of any big purchases I make are pieces I can foresee myself wearing for several years to come, often in neutral colours, and I would be lying if I didn't say finding these things on sale doesn't get me excited.
So with that, a mini designer haul of a few pieces I've splurged on this Spring/Summer. As always, thanks for watching! xo

O U T F I T D E T A I L S : F21 BLACK KIMONO (SIMILAR, SIMILAR) | RUFFLE CAMI (LOVE THIS) | BLACK SKINNIES (LOVE THESE) | FAUX SUEDE CHOKER NECKLACE | LACE UP HEELS | BAG (BUDGET FRIENDLY OPTION)
If you girls didn't notice, I'm loving kimonos this year. I started adding them to my closet last year, but this is seriously the year of the kimono for me! They are so versatile, great for a business casual work environment, and obviously on weekends. Blazers never quite fit me right, so a kimono is the perfect piece to offer coverage and add style.
Let's talk about the shoes--I scooped these up back in June after lusting after them for months and they are now super on sale! They also come in black and red--but I find they run a little big, so I would suggest sizing down.
The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is here and early access started on Friday. If you girls live in the US, you can sign up for the debit or credit card and shop the sale immediately. If you're in Canada, like myself, or other parts of the world, the sale opens to the public this Friday, July 22.
Essentially, this sale is the biggest of the year where Nordstrom marks down all their new Fall gear for three weeks. After that, they go back up to regular price until the snow flies, ie. the time to shop is now! While I know you have sunshine, swimming and patio-season on your mind, the cool weather will be here before we know it and you'll be glad you scored some awesome stuff at such great prices.
That said, I'm sharing my favourite picks from the sale and will be sharing even more as the sale goes on. I've actually asked my Sales Manager at my local Nordstrom to set a few things aside for my appointment on Friday so I don't miss out, like this suede moto jacket (which has already sold out twice online and been restocked), this bralette, and this drape front vest (love this splurge option).
Happy shopping!
BODYSUIT (SIMILAR LOOK) + STRAPPY BRA | HI-WAIST DENIM CUT OFFS | JACKET -- OLD (SIMILAR) | RUBBER BOOTS -- OLD (SIMILAR, SPLURGE) | BAG | CHOKERS
On Friday night we headed out to Bluesfest, which is Ottawa's biggest outdoor music festival. It runs for two weeks and this weekend was the second and last weekend. We went and saw the Red Hot Chili Peppers and it was a wet night!
What you didn't see? My massive navy poncho, tucked away in my bag--unless you follow me on Snap (I'm acoest1984), then you definitely saw the poncho, and hence the rubber boots (seriously, a life saver!).
O U T F I T D E T A I L S : H&M TOP (SIMILAR) | WHITE DENIM SHORTS | ZARA GLADIATOR SANDALS (SIMILAR, DESIGNER STEAL) | BAG | OLD FEATHER NECKLACE (LOVE THIS)
I posted a picture of these sandals on Insta earlier this week after scoring them at the Zara semi-annual sale. My girlfriend and I went after dinner one evening, totally unplanned, and on the way there, I was telling her how all I want to wear lately are nude and black shoes. Enter one pair of these lace up gladiators left, in. my. size. #score #happydance
The sale is still going on, but pickings are slim online so head to your local store if you can to score some sweet deals -- ahem, my sandals were half off! I'm totally loving this playsuit, this thin-knit sweater, this backless bodysuit and these boots are a steal.
