spring sweater dress(ing)



It's officially spring, which means bright colours!  I love wearing brights so I wear them all year round, but it's especially hard to escape all of the colourful sweaters and dresses in the springtime.  I wore this very bright and colourful Wildfox Roadtrip Sweater (as a dress because I'm petite) on the blog here back in November, this time pairing it with a lighter hat for spring.  We were headed to the park and had to stop and take some pictures by the beautiful blooming trees.

If bright stripes are not your thing, this Free People Ottoman Slouchy Tunic, $148, comes in 7 solid colours and is perfect for transitioning into spring.

Happy spring shopping!

springtime romper



Lack of Color Zulu Rancher (also here)

If you've been reading my blog for awhile, you know I love a good romper.  I think I'll still be wearing a romper when I'm 60 years old.  They're so easy to thrown on and who doesn't want easy?  Plus, I'm petite so they work better for me than jumpsuits (although I am obsessing over this jumpsuit by Sanctuary, this one by Faithfull the Brand, this one by Show Me Your Mumu and this one by All Things Mochi).

This past weekend was gorgeous (yay, spring!) so we headed down to the Swamp Rabbit Trail.  I threw on this Free People romper because it's SO comfortable and perfect for a spring day.  Because of the long walk, I slipped on my white Vans, otherwise I would pair this flowy romper with a gladiator sandal or a pair of booties, depending on the time of day.  I also threw on my new favourite Lack of Color Hat that I can't stop wearing.  I thought if it was breezy, the wool would at least keep me warm.

I purchased this romper late last year so it may be limited in stock.  I'm also loving these new styles for spring:

biker short


ZARA Embroidered Top (love this, this and this one);
Urban Outfitters Fedora (similar here)

When I first saw that biker shorts were a trend, I thought it was a joke.  And then I started to see it more and more and thought, oh no.  I was not on board.  At all.  But then of course Free People made a denim version and it brought me back to my pedal pusher wearing days, which are actually available here at Anthropologie and here at Shopbop, so I thought I would give them a try.  Only because they were denim.  I will definitely not be rocking the spandex kind.  Except maybe at the gym (I love these leopard print ones).  You will not see me rocking spandex biker shorts with heels, I promise you that.  (I am, however, feeling these faux leather ones by Blank Denim.)  I'm really happy with these Free People denim biker shorts.  They are basically just long shorts and perfect for those days where you just do not feel like rocking short shorts.  I paired these biker shorts with a black and white embroidered top I purchased at Zara last summer.

Happy shopping!

oversized sweatshirt




Urban Outfitters Fedora (similar here)

I love a good sweatshirt.  Being a stay-at-home mom, I basically live in a sweatshirt.  I prefer an oversized one because I like a sweatshirt I can move around in.  I love this ZARA Contrasting Oversized Sweatshirt.  I mean, it has denim on the back!  I paired the sweatshirt with a pair of black FRAME skinny jeans because I like the added contrast, but I plan on going full on Canadian tuxedo with it (i.e., blue denim on blue denim).

Here are some other oversized sweatshirts I'm eyeing (or own):

FRIENDS Logo Crew-Neck Sweatshirt (my favourite sweatshirt, I own 3 of them!);
Free People High Road Pullover (comes in 4 colours);
ZARA Soft Feel Sweatshirt (basic, but I love the colour);

 Happy shopping!
