So how do I combat it? I’ve been trying to dress for spring even if I’m just hanging out in my living room!

Here are my favourite pieces of Spring 2020 so far.

Light Trench Coat

Vancouver gets way too cold in the winter to wear Trench Coats so really they’re the most perfect for Spring and early Fall. Loving this light trench from Oak and Fort this season. O+F has always been a favourite of mine since they offer really gorgeous seasonal pieces at a decent price.

Light Blue Midi Wrap Dress

I’ve always correlated wrap dresses to spring/summer and this dress is the epitome of how I imagined the perfect spring dress to look. I love the flowy sleeves and how the fabric drapes over your body in the most flattering manner. If I had any warm weather weddings to go to, this would be my go-to.

Light Blush Sweaters

Although springtime in Vancouver can be sunny and beautiful, it can often stay cold all the way up until May. One of my favourite transitional pieces has got to be the thin knit sweaters. Really loving blush pink this year and I think this piece from Capsule the brand is the perfect spring sweater.

Graphic Crewnecks

Would it be a quarantine spring fashion if I didn’t include one cozy sweatshirt? Loving this bold crewneck from Capsule the brand. It comes in Grey and Nude and I think it’s the perfect unique crew for spring.

Leather Vests

Vests are making a huge come back this year and this piece by J.ING is one of my absolute favourites. I first saw it on Ellen V Lora in one of her Japan photos and I fell in love with it. I love how it instantly dresses up any sweatshirt or hoodie, which is actually the perfect solution for everyone who’s getting way too used to being in loungewear!

Oversized Blazer

I honestly couldn’t go into any season without a good blazer, especially Spring/Summer. Blazers are the perfect light jacket to elevate any outfit. This one by Bawbee Shop is one of my all-time favourite pieces that I own. It’s thick and soft and it’s the perfect oversized, boyfriend fit. What more can you really ask for in a blazer?

Which piece was your favourite?

I’m going to show you my two Ardene looks, that I’ll be rocking all summer long for music festivals, but also just roamin’ around Vancouver.

Look #1: Comfy in Floral

I’m really favouring one-pieces and matching sets this summer, and this floral romper from Ardene is giving me life. I really like the wrap/cross-over detail in the front. There’s a little clasp in the middle that you can do up if you’re looking to be a little more conservative. I like to wear mine open so that my lace bralette peeks through every now & then. It’s made of a super soft cotton material that’s comfy yet still really breathable for hot weather.

Tie your denim jacket around your waist, and wear shoes that are one of the colours from your patterned piece and voila – you’ve got a perfect music festival outfit.

Look #2: Sweet and Spicy

Red has been on my radar this spring/summer—something about the bright, in-your-face colour has me hooked. Sticking with the floral theme, I’ve been wearing this red smocked floral tube top non-stop since I got it (seriously, check my Instagram). I love how it looks with this dark denim skirt – this look gives me serious Cali vibes. If I lived in Cali, I would wear them around town, for brunch, even to run errands.

The nude, faux-suede mules dress the outfit up, while the daisy clad backpack adds keeps you hands-free when you’re dancing at a show. This outfit even looks great with the denim jacket from the first outfit thrown on top.

Despite Vancouver’s unpredictable weather, these outfits have been making me feel like it’s summer already. I’ve got a few music shows and festivals planned for summer so follow my Instagram and YouTube to make sure you catch a glimpse of me wearing these looks!

Here’s a sneak peek of me rocking my first outfit in my upcoming vlog. Stay tuned.

Until next time,

It has been a challenge and a half trying to take advantage of the sunny days but luckily I’ve had a few successful days where I’ve been able to free up some time in my schedule, and just get outside.

I’ve become the most typical Vancouverite—even if it’s still below 10-degrees, as long as it’s sunny, I’m putting on Spring clothes and wearing it as if I wasn’t still actually freezing my butt off.

I pretty much jumped at the opportunity to rock this red tube top from Urban Planet. Slowly and surely, I’ve been converted to incorporating colour in my wardrobe. Although red is already a glaring beginning to this trend—somehow I feel like it won’t be the only bright colour I fall in love with this Spring/Summer season.

Here’s to more sunny days (fingers crossed).

More soon,

Have I mentioned that I’ve finally started my internship! I’ve been looking forward to these next 9 weeks since the start of my program and it’s unbelievable that it’s finally here. I already know I’m going to learn so much at this agency. Not to mention having a set schedule every day completes me. Been able to reset my internal alarm clock (finally) and so I’m finally feeling like myself again. Whenever my sleeping schedule gets messed up I feel like my life is falling to crap. Dramatic, I know.

The Zara jacket that I’m wearing was actually a hand-me-down from Mary. It’s a great casual throw over for days I need to just run out the door. The leather sleeves help with dressing outfits up which I think is SO necessary on lazy days. Pulled out an old favourite, my colour-blocked Oak and Fort t-shirt. And then of course I wore Citizens of Humanity Rocket jeans. This wash is the Rocket Ventana.

Trying to elevate my style has not been an easy task. Can’t help but want to throw on a t-shirt and jeans combo and go. Anyone else wish they had a stylist sometime?

More soon,

School has been… well… to put it lightly, A HELL HOLE. Not joking, it’s getting to be stupidly stressful. Just a overview of what I have due next week: 3 deliverables, 2 presentations, and an Econ test worth 30%. And that’s a normal week for us.

I’ve really been trying to make time for days that I can just relax and focus my attention on something that makes me happy. For example, I went kayaking!

The last time that I went kayaking was probably almost exactly a year ago. This time the weather could have been a little warmer, but the skies were clear and the sun was shining so I jumped at the opportunity.

While the rest of the world are going through their final exams and projects, getting ready for summer, my classmates and I are still smack in the middle of part b of our 2nd semester. Having such an intense school semester has really made me realize that this Summer can’t be just be about making money like last summer was… I’m going to make time this summer to do all the things I want to do. And workout. And hang out with my friends. :X

There honestly aren’t enough hours in a day for me to be able to do everything I want / need to… But you can bet that I’m still going to try :b

How is everyone else’s spring so far?

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.

What are your current favorite spring outfits? Let me know!

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,

Sometimes I wonder whether the rain will ever stop. I totally get that the rain in Spring is supposed to help the flowers bloom and all that… BUT I MEAN COME ON. The gloomy weather + the stress from midterms season is really starting to weigh me down Thankfully I’ve actually set a schedule for myself and have a dedicated filming/shooting day. I think being able to spend a little bit of time every week to do what I love is what keeps me from going insane. 

I’m actually really happy with how this look turned out! I wanted to incorporate some fall/winter essential pieces, such as my booties and trousers, to keep things temperature-appropriate. However, I think the white knit crop top made for a good defining piece that helped ease this outfit, and me, into Spring. 

To all my tall girls out there. Do any of you also have this issue where trousers and crop-tops don’t hit you at the right spot? I always feel like I’m showing a little too much mid-drift when it comes to pairing crop-tops and trousers. People always tell me “you’re tall, you can pull anything off” but you guys are all mistaken! I swear everything looks a little awkward on tall girls. Whether it’s too much ankle, too much tummy… whatever it is. Y’all don’t know the struggle we deal with!
