the blues

I was heading out to a surprise birthday party and was hoping to wear open-toed shoes, but it was still too chilly.  But right before I left (around 7 pm), the sun was still shining and it felt really warm, which wasn't the case an hour earlier.  So I was fooled and threw on a light jacket when I headed out the door, and was freezing in my car by the time I left the bar.  I am not a fan of this in-between weather.  But then again, at least it's not snowing anymore.

current obsession: wedge pumps

Sigh.  Happy Friday!

double dose of camo

Ok, the last couple of days have been really cold and I just can't take it anymore.  Today there was a tiny glimpse of spring weather again.  I refuse to put winter boots back on... but it's definitely still too cold for flats.  So these Marc by Marc Jacobs sneaker wedges are perfect.  (By the way, I am obsessed with these neon pink ones!)  I am, however, putting my new GAP white jeans into rotation now.  I just can't wait for you any longer, spring.

current obsession: shift minidress

This dress is perfection!  Obsessed with the colour, obsessed with the pleats across the chest, obsessed with the collar, love the sleeves, love the length (I'm petite so because it's a minidress I won't have to hem it and it won't be too short and I'll be able to wear it everywhere!).  Sigh.  Now I'll just sit here and daydream about wearing this dress... while it continues to snow here.

florals + stripes

bag: RED Valentino; necklace: Dior (vintage); booties: MICHAEL Michael Kors;

It's been a trend for a while, but I'm loving everything and anything floral, especially mixed with stripes.  (Stripes are also a huge trend (aren't they always?), so it's easy to find some great pieces out there.)  I've been picking up everything floral, from these J.Crew "Liberty Chino" shorts, to this Madewell tee (which has the best of both worlds!), to this beautiful vintage Dior necklace.  This weather can't make up it's mind whether it wants to be spring or still winter, so wearing florals is the closest I think I'm going to get to spring.

pastels (part 2)

We were going Easter egg hunting and since I've been so obsessed with pastels lately, I thought about those yummy pastel chocolate eggs for inspiration when getting dressed.  It helped that I already had these polka dot Marc by Marc Jacobs jeans on hand.  Earlier I wrote about my obsession with the polka dot denim jacket here, but when I came across these jeans I had to have them because: a) I have an obsession with polka dots and b) it wasn't quite jean jacket weather.  (Far from it, actually.)  I'm so happy I bought them because they are SO comfortable.  That's not to say I won't end up with the jacket either.  Like I said, I have an obsession with polka dots!

Happy Easter! -M

spring is in the air

 I spy the CN Tower!

You know spring is in the air when the first thing you want to do when you start to feel any kind of warm weather is go to the beach.  It was still a bit breezy so I put on my Marc by Marc Jacobs suede wedge boots (also because they're really comfortable), but I really, really hope this will be the last time I wear them.  Until next winter.
