I’ve been completely obsessed with having plants in my room lately. To the point where I’ve dedicated a shelf top and a wall shelf to my adorable little plant family. So far I’ve already got 9 different little babies living with me in my room.

While on the hunt for more to add to my collection of succulents, aloes, and cactis I discovered Southland Nurseries. Literally a 5 minute drive from my place, Southlands Nursery is tucked away on W49th Ave south of Marine Drive. I’ve lived in Kerrisdale for a little over 4 years now, and have been going to school in the area for 10 years and I’ve never even heard of this gem! However, I was clearly the only one out of the loop because the place was bustling when I visited on Saturday afternoon. Definitely a place to keep in mind if you’re looking to start a garden or add some indoor plants to your home. They’ve also got really knowledgeable staff who can tell you everything you need to know about home gardening or taking care of plants.

They’ve got an AMAZING selection cacti and succulents!! I found everything I needed there.

For this little Saturday afternoon plant therapy session I wore my Talula denim jacket with a cute thin sweatshirt underneath. Paired with a light crossbody bag and my cream and white Stan Smith sneakers, I thought it was the perfect “beginning of spring” outfit.

On my most recent trip down to the states I picked up these snake print Adidas SL Loop. I definitely noticed these before but never really knew whether it was worth spending the money on. However, I got lucky, during my trip to Portland I saw these for a discounted price at Nordstrom Rack. I’ve definitely been on a sneaker kick since this past summer and I’ve acquired 5 different pairs of sneakers since the May… Yikes. But since sneakers are actually all the rage right now, it’s the perfect time for me to lounge around in as many different sneakers as I can. Comfort + style. What could be better. 

I love how these pop with a good black outfit. They really do stand out yet the pattern is still subtle. I paired this near-all-black ensemble with a light washed denim jacket which I think helps break up all the darkness. Inside I’m wearing a really simple, crew-neck sweater and I’m using my Matt & Nat backpack. 

This is a pretty good representation of what kind of outfit I usually go for when I’ve got class to attend. I find that the all black makes it look trendy still but I’m still super comfortable and cozy for those cold lecture halls. 

How do you like to wear your sneakers?
