friday find: spring cardi

Show Me Your Mumu Good Karma Cardi

 

Happy Friday!  I can't help but be in spring-mode since it's been mostly mild here, along with all the rain we've been getting, so I've been on the hunt for some spring pieces.  This Show Me Your Mumu Good Karma Cardi grabbed my attention immediately.  It's an instant mood booster!  I love a striped knit, bubble sleeves and a pop of colour so this cardi checks off all of the boxes for me.  I would pair this colourful cardi with a pair of cutoffs and white Vans!

 

Cardigans are the perfect transition piece, if not the perfect piece period.  You can throw them over anything (a cami, a tee, a turtleneck, etc.).  I especially love them thrown over a dress, as seen on the blog here and here.     

 

I have found so many pretty cardigans that's it's hard to choose just one!  I love the floral embroidery on this Glamorous Cable Cardigan and how pretty is this pink Glamorous Lace Collar Cardigan?  I love the bold floral print of this '60s-style cardigan by 525 (I can't decide which colour I like better!).  I'm obsessing over this LoveShackFancy oversized cardigan (I love the adorable cherry, strawberry and floral patches!).  There's also a cropped version.  I love the floral print on this LoveShackFancy cardigan.  This MANGO Embossed Contrasting Knit Cardigan is super unique and cool.  This pastel yellow cable knit cardigan from ASOS, which is only $40(!), would be perfect for Easter.  I love the delicateness of this ZARA Floral Jacquard Knit Cardigan.  How pretty are the buttons on this ZARA Jewel Bow Button Cardigan?  I love the pompom details on this ZARA knit cardigan and the pretty lilac colour of this ZARA cardigan.  You can never go wrong with a simple ivory cable knit cardigan.  I'm obsessing over this Eleven Six Charlie Chevron Stripe Cardigan, which is not as budget-friendly.

Anthropologie is currently having a sale on tops!  I'm eyeing this floral cardigan, which comes with a removable belt, this ruffled cardigan (the orange colour is so pretty) and this ombré duster cardigan, which immediately makes me think of Easter.

 

Happy (cardi) shopping!

all of the pretty sweaters

LoveShackFancy Ryland Sweater (sold out, found it here, cropped cardigan version here)

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

Vans Classic Slip-On Sneaker

I love fall fashion and cozy sweaters are my jam, but it's still 80 degrees in Florida so I've had to limit my sweater shopping, which has been difficult because there are SO many gorgeous ones out there!  (I try to stick to cotton or acrylic ones, instead of ones with wool, until the temps really drop.)  This LoveShackFancy Ryland Sweater sold out immediately, but you can get back-in-stock notifications and I found a couple sizes left at Farfetch (links above).  I'm not surprised it sold out... the cotton candy colours, the balloon sleeves and the mixed star details.  Since it's still quite warm here, I paired the pretty pink and purple sweater with a pair of white eyelet shorts.

 

I've come across so many pretty sweaters.  I'm a sucker for anything with a pretty ruffle, embroidery and/or a balloon sleeve.  Below are some pretty sweaters that are at the top of my list:

 

Free People Snow Globe Pullover

1. STATE Ruffle Sleeve Sweater

For Love & Lemons Florentina Sweater

MINKPINK Kasey Knit Pullover

For Love & Lemons Lydia Cardigan

IRO Maroja Sweater

Free People Star Sign Pullover (so soft!)

rainbow ruffled sweater

LoveShackFancy Yumi Pullover (also here for 30% off!)

AGOLDE Sophie High Rise Skinny Crop (sold out, similar here and here)

Free People Zoe Angular Sunglasses

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

How gorgeous is this LoveShackFancy sweater?!  I love anything colourful and this rainbow print is so pretty.  I also love a ruffle.  But I don't think I've worn a ruffle quite like this.  It's very unique, which is why I was drawn to it.  As per my last post, this is a rental from Rent the Runway (I linked above where you could purchase it).  It was a little chilly so it was a perfect day to wear this sweater as it's quite warm.  I paired it with simple AGOLDE skinny jeans and sneakers.

Happy (online) shopping/renting!

december skies poncho (+ gift ideas!)

Free People December Skies Poncho (comes in 2 colours)

AGOLDE Sophie High Rise Skinny Crop Jeans

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

How pretty is this Free People poncho?  I love the bright colours.  This one fits more like a sweater, but a poncho would make a great gift for Christmas!  A poncho is perfect, for example, for a day of shopping in Canada (hello, Boxing Day sales!) so you don't have to worry about carrying a bulky coat around with you in the mall, but at least you're warm from the walk from your car.  I'm eyeing this Free People Stay in Fleece Poncho, it looks so cozy!  This Free People Follow The Arrow Poncho is on sale!  A simple black poncho by Tularosa.  I love a cable knit sweater so I'm eyeing this Corinne Cable Knit Poncho at Anthropologie.  This Rag & Bone Cashmere Poncho would keep you (or someone) very warm and it's on sale!  (It also comes in grey and is a little cheaper than the camel one.)  This UGG Charlynne Poncho at Nordstrom comes in 6 colours and is reasonably priced at $110! 

Happy shopping!

It's not quite sweater weather here and I had to take this sweater off almost immediately, but I am SO excited to shop for sweaters.  I have a slight unhealthy obsession with sweaters.  I love a striped sweater (ZARA is my go-to for striped sweaters!), a cropped sweater (bonus points for fuzziness and/or bell sleeves!), an oversized sweater, an off-the-shoulder sweater, a cable knit sweater (own it and love it!), an embellished sweater, a sweater dress, a sweatshirt, a cardigan, a turtleneck (also love this colourblocked one)... but, mostly, I look for a bright, colourful sweater.  This Free People rainbow sweater is colourful but neutral enough that it pairs well with almost anything.  It's super cozy but thin enough that you could tuck it into a skirt, or a pair of jeans.  What's your favourite kind of sweater?

Happy shopping!

I hope everyone had a great summer!  We had a very busy, but fun-filled summer.  I went to Vegas with my sister for my birthday in June.  In July, we visited Charleston, South Carolina and Fernandina Beach, Florida.  I also chopped off my hair.  In late July/August, we made the trip back to Canada to visit family for a couple of weeks, which is where these photos were taken.  The kimono definitely helped with the mosquitoes! 

Although summer is not officially over and it's still quite hot here, it's starting to feel like fall now that the kiddies are back in school.  Plus, once September 1st comes, I'm itching to do some fall shopping.  Fall is my absolute favourite season to shop for.  I'll be posting my fall picks on the blog next week!

Happy shopping!

spring sweater dress(ing)

Wildfox Castaway Stripe Roadtrip Sweater (also avail in sorbet stripes);

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher (also here)

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!

cozy in Canada

Madewell Cardiff Striped Crewneck Sweater in Coziest Yarn

AGOLDE Sophie High Rise Crop Jeans

Aritzia/Auxiliary Pagosa Beanie

Happy New Year!  Hope everyone had a relaxing holiday.  We were in Canada for 2 weeks and thankfully it was milder than last Christmas, but I'm glad I stocked up on sweaters before I left.  This Madewell sweater is SO soft and cozy.  I love the rainbow stripes!  It's currently on sale and going fast, but you can also get it here at Shopbop.  It's under $100 and I think worth every penny.

Madewell is currently offering 40% off all sale items.  The sweater from my previous post (this balloon-sleeve pullover) is also on sale!

Happy shopping!

cozy & colourful

{Wildfox Couture Castaway Stripe Roadtrip Sweater (also here, on sale!)}

This Wildfox sweater is SO comfy!!  It's called 'roadtrip sweater' for a reason.  I'll definitely be packing it for our trip to Florida this week.  I love the colourful stripes!  I'm not even 5' tall so I can wear this sweater as a dress, which will be perfect if we get to a beach (but sadly the red tide is not going away).  It's also perfect for weekends by the fire with skinny jeans, or tucked into boyfriend jeans for a day of shopping. 

Wildfox's Roadtrip Sweater also comes in other designs and fabrics from lightweight french terry to cuddle fleece here, including one for Christmas!  They're also having an early sale - 40% off sale items!

Hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving weekend!

Happy shopping!

retro / striped tee

{Free People Need You Printed Tee (comes in 3 colours);

One Teaspoon The Junkyard Denim Mini Skirt (similar);

BAGGU Circle Cross Body Bag (similar);

Brixton Dalila Hat (sold out, love this one);

Prada Minimal Baroque Sunglasses (also here)}

I'm always on the lookout for a tee that's not basic (I have enough black tees), but that I could wear without a bra.  This Free People Need You Printed Tee is certainly not basic.  I love the colourful stripes!  They're in the front and back of this 'easy, relaxed fit' tee.  Last Friday night we went for a stroll downtown Greenville so I paired this tee with my go-to One Teaspoon Junkyard Skirt and white vans (not shown).  I thought of pairing this outfit with my pink Rebecca Minkoff bag, but instead decided to keep my accessories neutral and let the colourful stripes stand out even more.  Also, I'm in fall fashion mode lately now that fall items are starting to appear online and in stores.  This outfit would transition perfectly into fall with a cardigan (I'm obsessing over this Free People Creme Brulee Cardi) and over-the-knee boots (can never go wrong with the Stuart Weitzman The Lowland Boot!  Also love these Vince Camuto Karinda Over The Knee Boots - they're under $250!).

Happy shopping!

jumpsuit joy

 

{Free People Nora Jumpsuit;

Lack of Color The Spencer Boater;

Prada Sunglasses (also here)}

Happy Saturday!  This Free People Nora Jumpsuit brings me so much joy.  I mean, it's colourful and dramatic with the extremely wide legs, which makes it so fun to wear.  It's perfect for this heat in South Carolina.  I want to wear this jumpsuit every day, it's so comfortable.  You just slip it on and go.  I paired this colourful jumpsuit with a pair of wedge sandals, but it also looks great with a pair of white sneakers.

Free People has a wide variety of jumpsuits.  You can shop them here!
