Floral Fun




The best thing about florals is you can wear them with anything.

What am I working with? A Costa Blanca floral t-shirt

1. Floral T-shirt paired with high waist denim shorts (thrifted)
2. Floral T-shirt with Urban Behavior purple & black striped cardigan & jeggings (I'm bad with wearing these as pants, but at least in real life my shirt is longer).

I am excited to wear the denim shorts with some cute tank tops and floaty blouses this summer. They are a fun way to stay cool, on trend & cute - all at the same time! I will definitely be wearing them with this floral shirt too. The best thing about a floral print is that you can sneak it into your outfit no matter the season - in muted colours for fall/winter & brighten them up in the spring/summer!

How do YOU wear your florals?

Spring Fling















Painting my nails in Spring-esque colours, blue toes, bathroom photo shoots, tons of blossoms outside, looking down at my Spring outfit!, photo shoots in my car, sunny day while driving (don't worry, I had only just pulled out of my driveway), yummy chocolates at my mom's work (I brought us wonton soup & we ate it at the chocolate factory), more beautiful blossoms, factory signs & chocolate dipped pretzels.

I was super excited this morning when I saw the sun shining brightly. It was the perfect addition to my run this morning. I did a loop that went along the main road in town, then cut down by the harbour & the beach. I took the time to stop at the beach entrance and stretch, enjoy the sun, and look out at the water before I continued on my journey home. There's something (for me anyway) about running in the sun that makes me feel so grateful for everything I have. Also, the fact that I can now pull out my dresses (I need more!!!) is something I'm thankful for as well!

I hope you all had a wonderful Wednesday!

Print-tastic!


All images from Forever 21, and all under $20.00!

I know minimalism is a huge trend for spring, but I can't help but long for some fun prints and vibrant colours in my life. Although colour blocking is a great way to add a splash of brightness, floral and tribal prints are definitely catching my eye. To me, mixing things up with a cute floral dress (pictured above) with some neutral oxfords or heels is like the best of both worlds. No fuss, but chic at the same time. In addition, the middle tribal print dress is a great transitional piece - a summer cut for when the weather starts getting hot, but fall colours to pair with cozy cardigans, knit tights, and leather riding boots. Who says you have to pack up ALL of your wardrobe as the seasons change?
