O U T F I T D E T A I L S : F21 SWIM COVER-UP (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS) | DENIM SHORTS ON SALE! | ALDO TALL GLADIATOR SANDALS -- OLD (SIMILAR, SIMILAR) | MY OWN BODYCHAIN | BRALETTE | WRAP CHOKER
When I saw this cover-up in store, I wasn't going crazy for in, it fact, I passed it up on two separate shopping trips until I finally tried it on and fell in love. I totally purchased it for beach days and resort vacations but after throwing it on over leggings one day at home, I wanted to style it for more of a day look. It's comfortable, roomy but still shows their is a figure underneath.
I paired mine with high-waist denim cut offs and tall gladiators to keep it easy breezy, but it would look super pretty half-tucked into some white skinnies & nude heels.
We also just added this new wrap choker to the shop. I've been wearing mine a ton and love the simple look of a choker when you don't want a long looking necklace.

DOLLARAMA PANAMA HAT (SIMILAR) | URBAN PLANET ROMPER -- OLD (SIMILAR) | BIKINI TOP | GLADIATOR SANDALS (SIMILAR) | SUNGLASSES (SIMILAR)
Today I'm sharing all the outfits I wore in Cancun while on vacation a couple weeks ago. I definitely love to pack colourfully for vacation, which is a change to my usual neutrals at home. While I'm a fairly strategic packer, this time around, there wasn't much time so it was a lot of throwing things into the suitcase without much planning. Needless to say, while I did pack a little much, I never ran out of clothes #optimisticspin
Hope you enjoy the recap of what I wore--I'm sharing links to everything that's still available plus options to similar items so you can scoop them if you'd like. As always, thanks for reading!

O U T F I T D E E T S : PANAMA HAT (SIMILAR) | MAXI DRESS | BIKINI TOP | CHOKER (TIED IN THE BACK) | FLIP FLOPS | VINTAGE BEACH TOTE (SIMILAR, SIMILAR, LOVE THIS)
Before heading to Mexico, I spent a full evening shopping for a few new items. I wanted to bring some new pieces with me to wear on our trip and I left almost empty handed--almost as if when you're ready to treat yo' self, you find nothing! However, I did find this maxi dress and did a little dance when it was long enough.
I paired the dress over my suit one day but it would be really pretty for evening with a wide bandeau underneath in white, yellow or mint. I also love how this choker looks wrapped around multiple times and tied in the back--another great way to wear one of Spring's trends I'm loving.
O U T F I T D E E T S : DYNAMITE SWEATER (SIMILAR) | SCARF | ZARA DENIM (UNDER $50, UNDER $100, SPLURGE) | SNEAKERS | MAT & NAT BAG (SIMILAR) | JOE FRESH LUGGAGE TAG (SIMILAR, SPLURGE) | SUNGLASSES
When I'm traveling, comfort is key and while I want to look somewhat put together, sneakers are always a given.
These are my second pair of Pumas (the first pair I ruined during the trip to Italy back in April) and they are by far the comfiest tennis shoe I own. I seem to be turning to them--and sneakers in general--not just for travel, but on the weekends for running errands and casual get togethers with friends. As long as they are fresh (ie. clean), you can pretty much style them with anything and get away with it right now.
To up the chic-factor, I like to add an oversized scarf which pulls double duty as a blanket if it gets too cold, and works as a stylish third-piece to outfits during your trip. If you're going to go denim, tons of stretch is key, minimal jewelry and lose the socks to earn cool-girl points.
FREE PEOPLE SWEATER (SIMILAR) | CAMI (SIMILAR) | RIPPED WHITE SKINNIES (SIMILAR) | SNEAKERS | NYC STREET VENDOR SUNNIES (SIMILAR, BUDGET FRIENDLY)
For this 12-day trip, packing was definitely an obstacle, more specifically it being my first trip of such length. I have been doing my best to mix and match everything I brought, and kept that in mind while packing a mixture of neutrals and a few same-colour pieces to keep it effortless yet somewhat stylish.
Rome was really cold and rainy the day before we shot these photos, but fortunately the sun came out the next day. Don't let those rays fool you, it was still quite chilly, under 10 degrees Celsius and I bundled up in my jacket and scarf after!
I'm still looking for the perfect Italian leather boot while we are here, which I was hoping to find sooner than later so I could wear them here (and throw these Pumas out because they are done-zo after this trip and multiple days in the rain--yuck!). If not, at least before we come home on Sunday.

Outfit deets:
* Forever 21 tank.
* Almost Famous denim shorts.
* Call It Spring sandals (super old, my total favourites & worn to death).
* Ardene fedora & heart-shaped sunnies.
One last outfit from our vacation to Punta Cana last month--I almost forgot I had these photos. I would have shared more however my bathing suit made an awkward wet mark mid-chest and kind of ruined the photoshoot #vacationproblems.
What are your plans for the weekend? I have a busy one lined up: tonight I'm hitting the gym with a friend, then some shopping. Saturday will be spent likely practicing some tennis--I managed to get a 3-hit rally going last night for the first time ever!--and then celebrating my Mom's birthday. On Sunday I will be spending the day celebrating my good friend's upcoming nuptials at her bridal shower. Hope you have a great one and happy Memorial Day long weekend to my US readers and friends.
Outfit deets:
* Victoria's Secret bikini top which you saw in Mexico last year.
* Reitmans sweater (new!).
* Colbretti denim cut offs, thrifted & DIY'ed into shorts which you've seen on date night last summer.
* Accessories: G21 shades (yes, from Walmart).
I'm rounding out the last few photos from our vacation to Punta Cana last month. If I could wear something all the time, it would be something along these lines: shorts & a flowy sweater (or skinny pants and edgy boots).
This week has been a miss mash of stuff, we've had friends over almost every night (one at a time, because that's how we roll, apparently) to catch up and eat. I've listed--and sold--my shoe and rolling racks. I've cooked, baked, and vacuumed the condo. And, the most exciting news of all--and this is serious, 'You need to be grown to get excited for this'--our entertainment unit was delivered and we got a Roomba.
I know. The things dreams are made of.
Big dreams, guys. Serious. Adult. Dreams.
Happy Thursday!
Outfit deets:
* Sirens feather kimono (new!).
* Sirens sheath tunic (new!).
* Accessories: G21 (Walmart) sunnies).
I threw this on for our last night in Punta Cana to head down to the beach. The wind was wicked and the kimono was flapping around like crazy. Most of the pictures are blurry or dimly lit, but these two capture the moment and turned out.
I'm so glad the weekend is finally here! I spent Friday night making sweet potato wedge fries, then pies and gave myself a pedicure while my guy took in some basketball playoffs on tv. Friday nights are usually at-home date nights for us--mind you, we're still settling into living together--but it was nice to have some me-time knowing he was just a few steps away.
Today we are spending the day building my closet in the second bedroom and tonight our friends are coming over for dinner! Aside from that, several episodes of Suits, a bit of filming for my next video and a couple trips to the gym. Hope you have a great weekend!
Outfit deets:
* Forever 21 chiffon top (old) with Old Navy cami underneath.
* Sirens skort (fits me better than the Zara version did, plus it was a fraction of the price at $15--run and get one as this was a recent purchase and it also comes in white, pink and blue. Target also has this for $25 in black but didn't fit me as well).
* Le Chateau wedges (new!).
* Accessories: Sirens necklace & Le Chateau cuff.
Outfit deets:
* Le Chateau top which you've seen last summer with a skirt.
* Bench shorts.
* Shoemint heels which you've seen when they were new and in the outfit photos from my profile pic.
* Accessories: Expressions necklace from The Bay (a birthday gift from a friend).
Outfit deets:
* Reitmans sweater (new!).
* Vero Moda skirt from Boxing Day shopping.
* Liliana wedges which you've seen once in January when I stayed inside and hosted my best friend's baby shower.
* Accessories: H&M necklace, Auslini bangle & Ardene clutch (all old).
Outfit deets:
* Dynamite lace top (old).
* Dynamite t-strap cami underneath (new!).
* Sirens skort (new!).

* Accessories: Le Cheateau cuff.
Outfit deets:
* H&M tunic tank (old).
* Forever 21 peplum skirt from last summer.

Outfit deets:
* Vero Moda top which you've seen with red leather pants.
* Wet Seal shorts (old) which you've seen dressed down a couple years ago & this throwback pic to when I first got them in an almost identical outfit (haha, must have been in my subconscious).
* Liliana wedges.
* Accessories: Suzy Shier plate necklace (new!) & Aldo sunglasses case used a clutch.
Outfit deets:
* Ardene overalls (new!); I had planned to remove the daisies before we left on vacation but ran out of time. I know daisies are a huge trend this year but I'm not really feeling it, and despite thinking it's cute on theses, I'll still likely cut them off.
* H&M tank (old).
* Converse sneakers which I finally got to wear outside during our vacation, plus I used them as my travelling shoes instead of my normal flats.
This is a super simple outfit from my trip, but next time I'll style these overalls with a tee. That was my initial plan, but the t-shirt I brought was too flowy and it wasn't doing any favours to the overalls, nor me.
That said, this denim won't be seeing the light of day for a good month, with the cool temps we are still having. As an aside, it feels good to at least put away the winter jackets and pull out something a little lighter like leather jackets and trench coats. Hope you're having a great week thus far and see you tomorrow.
