Spring & Summer Outfit Inspiration

Rainy days always have me anticipating the arrival of warmer weather. I have always been a fan of coloured denim and pants, so why not make an outfit revolving around shorts in my favourite colour? If I had all of these pieces in my wardrobe (because it's totally possible for me to have a Givenchy purse right now in my financial state), I would definitely be mixing and matching. Neutrals, a bit of pattern (hello, polka dots! You're cute!), and bright colours are perfect for the spring time and can easily be transitioned once the hot summer rolls around. Aah, can the sunshine come out yet?

Heel Heaven: Jimmy Choo

 

 If you are a shoe-fiend like myself, you probably have an undying love for Jimmy Choo. I was first introduced to the iconic name while watching Sex & the City. Throughout the seasons, we saw Carrie Bradshaw fall in love with Jimmy Choos, and her character wore some of the most famous (and now iconic) shapes and styles. I imagine heel heaven is filled with Choos!

The Choo's Carrie lost while running to catch a ferry in season 3. The famous quote, "I lost my Choo!" comes from this episode (and then she is saved by the Politician, who she starts to date later on).

You can find the iconic Sex & the City Marlene shoe here!

Fendi Fun

1. DKNY Gold & Navy pumps. Sure, these are more cold weather appropriate with the colour palate, but picture these with some trouser shorts and a floaty blouse with a pop of brightness with your accessories and they easily transition into the upcoming spring season.

2. DKNY oversized clutch. You know that minimalism trend that's getting big this season? Why not spice it up a bit with some fun additions to your outfit, like a bright clutch.

3. Fendi pumps. I saved the best (in my opinion) for last. Check out the fluorescent heels on these babies. What a contrast between the leather! A shoes with a bright twist are the perfect way to incorporate a bit of colour into your spring wardrobe. Besides, we all know that colour blocking is big this season!

Date Night: Montana's

1. Snapping pictures of myself while I was getting ready to go out with Brandon tonight. We don't go out a lot, and by going out I mean dinners, movies, etc. However, last night we both agreed to go to Montana's. It's a log cabin styled restaurant that has such good food! I couldn't believe how full I was after!

2. WHAT THE -- Who is that girl in the mirror!? Thought it was funny!

3. This was my whole entire day. Reading magazines, blogs, and lounging on the couch. Yes, the pink sweatpants may or may not have made an appearance (yes, I'm addicted).

4. Jacket: Winners, Skinny jeans: Pashu (also from Winners), Floral shirt: CostaBlanca, Heels: XOXO patent mary jane pumps.

5. Outfit without the jacket (I don't think I was wearing shoes either).

6. I thought about wearing this glitzy shirt with my outfit, but I decided it was too dressy for Montana's, so I opted for the more casual T!


I know my pictures aren't in order, but that's exactly why I decided to do the list thing and explain things there.

Exciting news:

I applied at a restaurant called Odika on Saturday after work at the spa. Yesterday I had an interview, and today was my first day. Talk about things moving fast! I only worked for a couple hours, but I am back into the swing of things as far as waitressing goes! I am excited for my next shift on Saturday :) I will be working Saturday, Sunday, and Monday at Odika's, and Tuesday at the spa. I might also be working some evenings at the restaurant - weeooh, tips!

I'm hoping to go into Duncan tonight and find some more shirts for work. Surprisingly, I don't have very many basic black shirts (or cute ones, either, besides the one I'm wearing now). I also want to find a PINK (yes, must be pink) wireless mouse and a laptop case. Hopefully I'll have some company too!

Have a wonderful evening, lovelies!

Jeffrey Campbell: Wish list

Okay, so the collage didn't turn out as well as I thought it would be when it was uploaded to my blog, but hey, that's alright! It's all a huge learning curve, right?

If any of you in the lower mainland area or around Vancouver Island, where would I be able to find these? Any leads would be great!

Hope you're all having a good afternoon! I went to work for a couple hours this morning to do pay roll and whatnot, but I came home after to blog, make lunch & have chocolate almonds for dessert! I don't exactly need the chocolate almonds... Oh well! C'est la vie!

Talk to you all soon!

"I like my money where I can see it - hanging in my closet."

If you know me, you know that I love anything girly and dainty. Above are a few things that I think are absolutely adorable! Pony hair bags, PINK! in any shade, leopard print anything, and bows, bows, bows. I can't get enough!

I hope you are all having a wonderful Tuesday! Usually my work is closed Mondays, but I had to work yesterday, and it has thrown me off my routine! I feel like it should be Thursday tomorrow, but of course, it's only Wednesday. Oh well. One more day closer to Christmas!

Have a fabulous night everyone!

Love, Holly!
