Had an amazing shoot day with Vernice earlier this week. We shot on the roof of a hotel in downtown Vancouver. Had to do some searching and hop a fence but when we made it ooooo was it worth it. There aren’t actually many publicly accessible roof tops in Vancouver. But when you find one, you really appreciate the unobstructed view of the cityscape. We might not be a big city, but we’re doing okay.

I gotta say, I loved being up here but oh man was it HOT. It was extra humid that day and the sun was BLARING. Thankfully my barely-there summer outfit helped from overheating. 

Finally bought a necktie choker! Was really not sure if I’d like these or not but thought I’d give a try. It was definitely VERY uncomfortable when I first started wearing it. But after a while, you get used to something being that close to your neck and you forget that it’s there. It’s definitely grown on me. My all black one is from Aldo. 

Love that I actually have time to explore and shoot around the city now! Stay tuned because there will definitely be loads of cool shots this summer! 

More soon, 

Since it’s raining everyday again in Vancouver (typical) I’m going to do a quick throwback to an early fall outfit. I actually think I might wear this one again soon as the temperature rises. Can’t WAIT for bare-leg weather again!

Pretty much everything I’m wearing is from Aritzia (walking advertisement much) except my slip dress underneath is from Brandy Melville. My booties are from Aldo, and backpack from Matt and Nat.

More soon,

My newest favourite pairing has been pairing boyfriend jeans and (pointed) booties. The reason I put “pointed” in brackets is because they don’t necessarily HAVE to be pointed to look good with boyfriend jeans. BUT I love how the sleek feminine silhouette looks with the boyish jeans. 

The pair I’m wearing above are from Forever21. Although I find it kind of difficult to find boyfriend jeans at F21, mostly because they’re ALWAYS sold out in my size, when I do they usually are AWESOME. Affordable, soft, comfortable and stylish. What more can you ask for? Usually for trendy jeans , such as really distressed boyfriend jeans, I don’t like spending an insane amount of money because trends pass. I’d rather invest in classic pieces that I know I will love forever. 

My booties are from ASOS. I’ve been looking for an affordable pointed chelsea boot for quite some time and I LOVE this one especially because of its resemblance to the ACNE Jensen boot. They were originally $80 but I was lucky enough to get them on sale for $50 ! Such a steal for a great pair of comfortable black booties. More places you can usually find affordable booties are Zara, Top Shop, Aldo and Spring. My go-to places to look when I’m trying to find an affordable option for trending booties and shoes.

I went with a flowy colour-block t-shirt from Oak and Fort to add more femininity to the baggie jeans and then finished the outfit off with my Mackage Rumer jacket. 

You have no idea how long I’ve yearned for these booties. I think ever since I first laid eyes on the sleek, modern, edgy design of the Alexander Wang Anouck booties, I fell in love. As a teen, it was always just an unachievable goal. Something so far off from reality, that I would just lust and pine over. But as a 20 year old, it suddenly became not so unachievable. 

After seeing them in person and on my friend Vernice, I knew I had to get them. The plan originally, was that I would save up, bit by bit, for them, until I could afford them. But two weekends ago, I went shopping with my family, and they all loved the boot on me so much, that I decided I would just dig into my savings a little bit and treat myself. And I have absolutely no regrets what-so-ever. 

YES they’re pricey for a pair of shoes but oh my god are they beautiful… and not to mention SO comfortable and goes with everything @_@. 

So if you ask me whether it was worth the (very hefty) splurge? I say abso-fucking-lutely. But yanno. Saving up for them first would’ve been chill too. 

Get ready to see ALOT more posts about them because I am OBSESSED. 

Sadly I’ve only got to wear them once so far… Rainy season has begun in Vancouver, and there’s not a single chance I’m whipping them out in the rain.

P.S. No I didn’t buy two pairs. My older sister actually bought the rose gold pair the same time I bought the silver pair. I ain’t that ballin’.

What do you think about the Anouck boots? 

More soon, 

I can’t get enough of this slip dress !

It was absolutely gorgeous outside again, and so I wanted to take advantage of it and wear my dress again. I have a feeling this will be the summer of non-pants FOR SURE.

The one thing about Vancouver weather right now, is that the sun, although bright and beautiful, is actually quite deceiving. As soon as you walk outside, the breeze hits you and you’ll realize that it’s actually still nippy (no pun intended LOL) spring time, and not hot summer yet. So, to add a BIT of coverage to my slip dress (yes it’s my second day in a row of wearing it. don’t judge me), I threw on this long white t-shirt on top.

I’m LOVING how this combo looks, the casual and flow-y feel of it.

I love that the T-shirt actually has a large slit down the side , and is asymmetrical in the sense that it’s longer in the back, because I think it gives this combo some really interesting details to look at. The black peaking out from the side makes the lines look sharp and crisp, while the longer back ensures that I don’t have any wardrobe malfunctions throughout the day.

Black Slip Dress : Brandy Melville | White Tshirt : Brandy Melville | Bag : Rebecca Minkoff | Booties : Spring   

Oh yeah, can I just say that this is also the comfiest outfit EVER. the slip dress and the white t-shirt are both SO COMFORTABLE. it’s nuts. I feel like I’m floating around in my pajamas which I am DOWWWWWNNNN for.

How’s the weather where you’re from? Has it been warm enough for dresses yet? Let me know !

Hope you guys are having a great day, wherever you are.

Until next time,
