#OOTD / shopbop sale

Happy Friday!  Today's #OOTD is inspired by Shopbop's spring sale where you can save up to 25% (depending on how much you spend) on almost everything on their site.  The sale ends tomorrow!  I literally have been shopping online this entire week (mainly because they get new items every day!) making sure I order the things that are missing from my closet, or need updating, along with some trendy pieces for spring.  I'm still loving the off-the-shoulder trend (love the colour of this Free People tube top, above) and, as I mentioned earlier, the bigger trend this year - off-the-ONE-shoulder (I ordered this BB Dakota one-shoulder top - it's under $100!  I also love this striped Splendid one-shoulder top, also under $100).

One item on my list was a new pair of light-coloured jeans for spring.  I started shopping early Monday morning (email subscribers get to shop a day early) and was lucky enough to scoop up a pair of the Miranda + Mother The Super Stunner Ankle Jeans before they sold out (you can check out the collection here).  I'm so glad I did because they are AH-mazing!  I also ordered these Levi's Wedgie Straight Jeans, which are budget-friendlier and also amazing.  If those did not work out, I was going to try these CoH Liya High Rise Classic Fit Jeans, above, but I'm all set for jeans for spring.

I also have been wanting to buy a new pair of sunglasses since it's been a few years since I bought a new pair.  I've been eyeing these Sunday Somewhere Yetti Sunglasses, above, for a while now, but decided to go with a pair of Karen Walker Number One Sunglasses since I need prescription lenses.  I did order a similar pair to the ones above, at a much budget-friendlier price, and won't bother putting in prescription lenses and will just use them for the beach, but they're sold out.  You can check out the budget-friendly brand, Quay, here.  I've also been wanting a circle bag for a while and was excited to come across this BAGGU circle bag, above, which will go with everything. 

Happy shopping!

#OOTD / that's a wrap

Happy Saturday!  I'm a day late posting my #OOTD.  It's been in the 70s here the past few days so we've been enjoying the beautiful weather.  It's cooled down a bit today so it's all about a cozy sweater.  I've been eyeing this Topshop Twist Wrap Front Jumper.  I've said it probably a million times, but I love a monochrome outfit so I'd pair this grey sweater with grey jeans.  I have a similar pair to these FRAME Le Skinny de Jeanne Jeans and they're amazing!  I would complete the outfit with these silver leather Steve Madden Kandi Mules.

#OOTD / lavender

Happy Friday!  Today's post isn't technically an #OOTD, but I would definitely pair this lavender Free People Allure Pullover Sweater either with these lavender (lilac, same same) Golden Goose Superstar Sneakers, or this lavender Foley + Corinna Violetta Cross Body Bag, or these Ray-Ban 53mm Retro Sunglasses, which I'm currently obsessing over.  Just add a pair of jeans.  I love pastels in winter and I especially love pairing a pastel with another pastel, either of the same pastel colour (see post here where I paired a pastel pink coat with a pastel pink sweater), or two different pastel colours (see post here where I paired a lavender cami with pastel pink pumps, or here pairing a pastel blue dress with a pastel pink blazer).  Typically, I would stick to two pastel pieces.  I used to looooove purple.  My entire room was painted purple and my sheets/comforter were purple as well growing up and then I became sick of it.  I'm slowly falling in love with purple all over again.  I'm also loving this Anthropologie Abella Turtleneck and this Free People Mercury Tee.

#OOTD / stripes, florals, studs

Happy Friday!  I've been running around, I'm sure like everyone else, getting ready for Christmas.  We surprised my hubby the other day for his birthday by telling him we're heading to Disney next week!  It's great that we live so close and can just jump in the car and go.  This morning I finally got a chance to sit down and I was looking for some 'resort wear' but nothing caught my eye.  So instead I ordered this striped For Love & Lemons x KNITZ Clemence Sweater (also here, which is where I first laid my eyes on it).  I love the bell sleeves and I'm a sucker for a striped sweater.  I'm currently obsessing over embroidered denim and these One Teaspoon Birds of Paradise Scallywags Jeans might be the ones I'm pulling the trigger on (similar, budget-friendlier ones at ZARA here).  I've been coveting a pair of white boots lately and these Chloe Susanna Studded Leather Ankle Boots are gorgeous (budget-friendlier pair of white boots at ZARA here).

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

#OOTD / crochet & denim

Happy Friday!  Well, it's been gloomy here for the past few days so I'm not really that happy, although it is a nice break from the heat.  Today's #OOTD is a cheery one, though.  I am obsessing over this Alice + Olivia crochet top.  It's so colourful!  I paired it with a high-waisted denim skirt from Aritzia, which I'm purchasing the moment I finish this post because I'll be living in crop tops all summer so I need to stock up on high-waisted pieces to go along with them.  I'm also obsessing over these Vanessa Mooney bolo necklaces (seen on my blog here).  I love that you can tie them in different ways (post coming soon on another way to wear it).

Happy shopping!

#OOTD / clogs

I am dying over these Casadei clogs (also avail in green and black).  They're not the clunky clogs we (or at least I) grew up with.  They're definitely a splurge, which is why I paired them with $60 jeans (I bought these GAP crop kick jeans in this colour and they are amazing) and a $50 bag from ZARA.  I go by the rule that you take the item you buy and divide it by the number of times you wear them and that is the actual price you paid for them.  So if you wear these clogs at least 10 times, they're actually only $59.50!  That's a deal, if you ask me.  Sometimes all you need is a great pair of shoes or bag to revive your wardrobe.  I paired everything with a breezy Free People top, a style I will be stocking up on for spring.  Are you a fan of clogs?  I also love these, these and these, which are budget-friendlier (and these Prada ones are on sale but only a couple of sizes left!). 

Hope everyone has a great weekend!  As always, happy shopping!

#OOTD / work it

Happy Friday!  Most of my outfits are pretty casual now that I'm a stay-at-home mom so today's outfit is a little different.  I came across these pants and I would be all over them if I was still working.  If it has a bow on it, I'm sold!  I still might purchase them because you can dress them down with a tee and flats.  (They come in white too!)  I used to live in heels when I started working over 10 years ago, but since having kids I've grown to love flats and these ZARA ones are only $40!  (I also love these, these and to splurge on these.)  And you can never go wrong with a classic white button-up and black tote.

pretty in pink in 2016

Happy New Year!  What an amazing year it's been.  2014?  Not so much.  Then by February, 2015 we started talking about the possibility of moving to Myrtle Beach.  And here we are!  It's been such a fun and exciting adventure.  I'm hoping now that we're settled in, I can really focus on my passion - fashion and this blog.  Only problem is that our camera broke so we're in the process of buying a new one.  But for now I thought I would start off the new year with my favourite colour and some pretty pieces I've been eyeing.

Happy Shopping!
