zara – SPEAKOFTHEANGEL https://speakoftheangel.com Sun, 09 Sep 2018 18:19:57 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.1.1 82987084 Darker for Spring https://speakoftheangel.com/darker-for-spring/ https://speakoftheangel.com/darker-for-spring/#respond Sun, 26 Mar 2017 22:50:15 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=3852 This has been the most bipolar beginning of spring that we’ve had in Vancouver in a while. There was snow, hail, rain, and sleet. So the days that it’s actually sunny outside… I literally RUN outside and try to wear as little layers as possible without getting sick.

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,

Denim Skirts for Fall https://speakoftheangel.com/denim-skirts-fall/ https://speakoftheangel.com/denim-skirts-fall/#respond Mon, 19 Sep 2016 01:11:04 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=2937 Vancouver’s weather been surprisingly tame so far. Minus the two days of rain earlier on this weekend, we’ve actually been having a warm, sunny autumn. Hope this is our gift from mother nature considering how lame the weather was this summer. 

So of course nice weather = bare legs. That’s a given right? Been loving this skirt from Rose Wholesale, one of the inexpensive trendy clothes retailers that I mentioned in an earlier post. I originally wanted to buy the Aritzia denim skirt that they came out with in the summer BUT considering this one was less than half the price…I made a smarter buy.

I’ve been wearing this skirt to death with every variety of top you can think of. This black tight shirt that’s from Zara ($20!!) and my Aritzia Talula tight turtleneck have been my go-tos for this type of weather. When it’s a little bit warmer I opt for a silky camisole or a basic t-shirt. 

And then of course booties are a must in the fall whether or not its chilly out. Been wearing my Raya boots from Public Desire the most out of all my booties! The heel height is a littler higher than I am used to for booties but I’ve been getting more and more used to wearing heels (YAY ME!). 

This has been one of my go-to “trendy” fall outfits this september. I throw this on whenever I feel the need to look the part of a blogger. Fake it ’til you make it right? HA. 

Hope you guys enjoyed this outfit! 

 

More soon,

SCHOOL DAZE https://speakoftheangel.com/school-daze/ https://speakoftheangel.com/school-daze/#respond Fri, 18 Sep 2015 18:28:54 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=1256 Processed with VSCOcam with a6 presetProcessed with VSCOcam with a6 presetProcessed with VSCOcam with a6 preset

School is officially in full swing, and my outfits have definitely been geared more towards comfort and warmth than fashion. I’m still trying to avoid sweat pants and UGGs as best as possible, but who knows how long I can keep that up. 

One way I keep “stylish” at school is by dressing super monotone. I find that it helps ensure that you look put together. When in doubt, wear all black. It makes it seem like you put more effort in your outfit than you actually did. 

Another great fall trend that I have found works great for school are fur vests. The one I’m wearing in this outfit is actually from Zara kids (HA). I saw it while browsing the kids section for my younger sister a few years ago, and liked it so much I bought it in a size large. And guess what, it fit perfectly and was WAY cheaper than the adult fur vests. Who would’ve thought?! Wearing a fur vest with a sweater underneath looks on-trend and keeps you DAMN warm and comfortable. DOUBLE WIN. 

Let me know how you keep fashionable at school! I’m definitely going to run out of ideas soon and start binge-wearing flannels and sweatpants. SOS. 

Outfit details : 

Sweater: Topshop

Jeans : Citizens of Humanity (purchased at Aritzia)

Necklace : Tenth Muse Jewelry

Bag : Auxiliary Silo Bag (purchased at Aritzia)

Sneakers : Lanvin 

Until next time,

I finally got my hands on some Birkenstock Arizonas !!! I’ve been thinking on these for a while now, and chose to just bite the bullet since I recently just got a new job ! More about that soon.

I actually was pretty set on purchasing the black pair because I knew that I would get a lot more use out of them, but some how, while I was trying both colours on in the store, I decided on white ! Think it was partially because I had on an all black outfit, and it made the shoes REALLY stand out.  

I’ve spent all day in them now, and oh man, do I want to go back to pick up the black pair. BUT must refrain. I need to stop spending money that I haven’t made yet !

This is definitely going to be the Summer of slippers. You have no idea how much I’m loving the fact that sneakers and slippers are what’s “trendy” now-a-days. Makes my entire life. Hope these trends stick. Don’t think I can revert back to wearing heels and booties. 

Happy Vacations to my readers.

WHERE DID THE SUN GO VANCOUVER? Y U DO THIS T_T

Before finals season was over for everyone, Vancouver was BEAUTIFUL. Super sunny and warm. Warm enough that I could put on a dress and feel fine. BUT… of course now after everyone has finished their finals and are ready for Summer, Vancouver has to go and be a total asshole and get cold, gloomy, and cloudy. At least it isn’t raining I guess.. ):

This outfit, and variations of it, is/are definitely something I wear constantly during the fall season. But since the weather lately has been so crappy, I was forced to whip it out again.

I remember when everyone used to wear these Adidas zip-ups. So I decided to whip mine out again! I have a baby blue one … thought it was appropriate for the Spring. And I wanted to add SOME colour to my gloomy outfit to up my mood a little.

Jacket : Adidas

Shirt : Zara

Bralette : Aritzia

Jeans : Garage

Shoes : Nike

Until next time ,

Black Valentines. https://speakoftheangel.com/456/ https://speakoftheangel.com/456/#respond Sun, 15 Feb 2015 04:31:53 +0000 http://speakoftheangel.com/?p=456 (null)

My first post in the fashion category! How exciting ! And on Valentine’s Day too. Although this post probably won’t go up until the end of V-day, these were all taken shortly after brunch with the girls. We went to Yolks which is located in a very industrial part of Vancouver, down by E. Hastings and Knight St. So we took advantage of cool backdrops and got some outfit of the day pictures !

(null)

This Valentine’s Day is the first one in a while that I’ve spent single, so I decided on an all-black outfit to mourn for my love life and match my soul. Ha. Ha. Deep right? (Not really, I’m actually really lame in real life). You can’t really tell, but my scarf is actually a deep maroon colour, so technically I was still dressed to celebrate Valentine’s day… sort of.

Outfit Details :

Jacket : Armani Exchange

Top : Zara

Bralette : Aritzia

Jeans : BDG (Urban Outfitters)

Shoes : Spring

Scarf : Wilfred (Aritzia)

Bag : Celine

Ever since I purchased this Aritzia pop art blanket scarf, I pretty much haven’t put it down. The size, the thickness, the colour, the design; It’s the perfect scarf for me. Now when I try on any other scarfs, nothing feels the same. I think it’s mostly the texture and size of the scarf that makes it so appealing to me. Because you can wear it diagonally and long like how I wore it in the photo, or you can wrap it around and wear it thick and large ! (It kind of looks like an infinity scarf when you wrap it around your neck once or twice). Sadly, it’s known as the “basic b*tch” scarf because pretty much every girl in Vancouver owns one. But that’s okay, I love it nonetheless.

Now that I’ve got TWO friends who started up blogs, Terri and Janice, hopefully I will be able to get them to help me take outfit pictures more often !

More soon,
