Pins and Needles Silky Ruffle-Short Romper via Urban Outfitters;

booties: Topshop (similar here); hat: Roxy (old); sunglasses: Prada}

My birthday is this Saturday and I'm having dinner with some girls Friday night so I wanted to find something new to wear.  I love Stone Cold Fox but don't own any pieces, so I thought I would treat myself to one of their tops.  I came across this gorgeous romper, but it's sold out everywhere (at least in my size) and the pre-order I was told would not arrive until July (at time it said June).  So I was on the hunt for a similar romper and came across this beautiful one from Urban Outfitters for a fraction of the price (I did also notice they carry Stone Cold Fox pieces, including some collaboration pieces, so I scooped up this top to wear on my actual birthday).  Of course I could not wait to wear this romper.  I love that you can dress it down with booties, or dress it up with heels.  I'm still thinking about that SCF romper though.

I fell in love with this jacket as soon as I saw it because the colour is so pretty.  It's the perfect jacket for spring.  It became so hot lately that I was worried I wouldn't get around to wearing it.  I find that with spring jackets.  Our weather goes from cold to hot in seemingly a week so my spring jackets barely get a chance to be worn.  But yet I continue to buy them because they're always so pretty.  I wanted this jacket to be the focal point of my outfit (since I probably will only wear it a couple of times because it's getting hot again) so I wore all white.  Plus, it's been feeling like summer lately so I've been automatically reaching for these white jeans.

Yesterday was another scorching hot day, but I was prepared.  This GAP shirt is super comfortable - you can almost sleep in it - and perfect for a hot day because of its loose fit.  I actually bought this ASOS skater skirt in the winter but never got around to wearing it, but thought it was the perfect match for this blouse.  Yes, normally you're supposed to pair something more fitted at the bottom if your top is on the voluminous side, but because I knew what the weather was going to be like, I wanted both pieces to be loose-fitting, but balanced the look out with these GUESS pumps.

A couple of things on my shopping list lately: white distressed shorts and overalls.  While I was looking for these One Teaspoon distressed shorts, I came across these distressed overalls and fell in love with them immediately because they were the best of both worlds.  I went up a size because I wanted a more 'boyfriend' fit since I would be wearing them on hot summer days.  Yesterday was supposed to be hot but it turned out to be a bit cooler, which was just perfect.  Just like these overalls.  Shortalls.  Whatever.  They're perfect.

I saw this shirt/skirt combo in the ZARA lookbook and immediately fell in love.  At first I thought it was a dress and as much as I love a dress, I was happy to find out it was two separate pieces because it could be worn two different ways.  First, as seen above, not tucking the shirt into the skirt, which shows the two tones of the shirt, which is what I love so much about it.  The other way to wear this outfit is tucking the shirt in which gives it a more polished look.  I love the look above because it's a more looser vibe, which I thought was appropriate hanging out on a rooftop of a hotel after my Goddaughter's Communion.  It was also really hot that day.

I finally brought out this beautiful Coach bag.  I've been waiting for warmer weather because I did not want it rubbing against my darker coloured jackets.  Then there was rain.  It was still raining on Friday but I was starting to get impatient since I bought this bag a couple of months ago.  Thankfully I didn't get caught in the rain, but my hair is another story, which is where the hat comes in.  I have naturally wavy hair so when there's a bit of humidity plus dampness in the air, a hat is a must.  Thankfully I love hats and this J.Crew floral one is so pretty.

I had 6 amazing days off and even though it was supposed to rain most of the time, there was a lot of sunshine. Still cool at times, it was the perfect weather for this lightweight camo jacket.  It was also perfect weather for this froyo #yum.
