cozy striped mini dress

Free People All Lined Up Mini Dress (also at Revolve here, for rent here)

Tony Bianco Boston Wedge

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

Free People Zoe Angular Sunglasses

Hope everyone had a relaxing long weekend!  It was a hot one here.  This Free People dress is another item I rented from Nuuly.  It's on sale for under $50 at Free People!  It also comes in blue, which is selling out at Free People, but I found all sizes currently available at Lulus here.  I love the puff sleeves!  It's a very comfy dress to wear so you could pair it with some white sneakers or cowboy boots, but it has an open back so it feels a little fancy so I paired it with a pair of Tony Bianco wedge sandals.  I would wear this outfit out to dinner, but unfortunately I didn't get a chance to wear it out and just took some quick pictures in our backyard since I'm shipping my rentals back to Nuuly today.  I ended up liking the lighting so you will probably be seeing a lot of outfits shot here ha.   

Happy shopping/renting!

plaid, stripes & thigh highs

These are pretty much my go-tos for fall: plaid, stripes & thigh highs.  I'm especially obsessed with this plaid jacket.  It just makes every outfit that much cooler.  I paired it with more plaid last time (see here) so this time I thought I would pair it with this striped dress I bought this past spring/summer since it's been fairly mild out.  This jacket would look great with an all black outfit, or jeans and a simple tee, but I like to mix things up.

goodbye, spring

I'm so happy I picked up this Anthropologie jacket last fall because it's a great spring jacket too.  It's lightweight and basically goes with everything.  It's the first day of summer today and hopefully that means warmer mornings, but we haven't gotten there yet.  Some mornings this week I have been able to get away without wearing a jacket, but there still has been those days that have a little bit of that spring morning chill.  Earlier this spring I said that I normally don't get to wear spring jackets for very long because in Canada it goes from cold to hot, but this spring has been perfect.

So long, Spring... hello, Summer...(you're my favourite)!

bonjour

{trench coat: Banana Republic; dress: Topshop (bought in store); boots: MICHAEL Michael Kors;

necklace: Mendocino; bracelets: H&M (in-store); sunglasses: Prada}

I saw this trench coat on Rachel Bilson (see here) and thought it was the perfect addition to my spring collection of outerwear.  I bought a trench coat years and years ago (and still have it), but it's black and more formal than this one.  This one is perfect because you can dress it up for work or dress it down with a pair of jeans (or even shorts as seen on Rachel Bilson!).  Wearing a trench + stripes automatically makes me think of Paris, which is where I'm headed next spring and I cannot wait since I've never been and have been dying to go for as long as I can remember.  This trench will definitely come in handy.

Happy Easter!

muumuu

I was looking for something cozy and casual to wear over the weekend and stumbled across this striped Marc by Marc Jacobs dress in my closet that I purchased last winter.  I believe it was last winter.  Then I got upset at myself for forgetting about this dress because I've only worn it once and it's an amazing dress to wear over the weekend because it's cool and casual.  But I'm petite and this dress is an XS/S and usually when that's the case, the dress (or whatever item) is a bit too big for my petite frame (normally I'm an XS).  But I actually really love that about this dress.  Sure, if I follow the rules, I should belt this dress, but what I love about Marc Jacobs is his quirky style and so I said 'forget the rules' and wore this dress without a belt - muumuu style.  It may not be figure flattering (without a belt), but it's the weekend and I like to pig out.  Plus, it's just fun to break the rules sometimes.
