Simple Summery Outfits

 Shorts & Pumps- Mr.Price/ Top- YDE/ Hat- Woolworths
So now that summer is slowly drawing to a close, I suddenly feel the urge to hurriedly wear all my summer outfits that I haven't worn yet. This outfit being one of them! I'm not normally a 'hat' person, (although I do love berets and beanies) but this lovely one immediately caught my eye when I saw it in the shops late last year. I haven't found the perfect 'look' that I wanted to wear it with, that is until I saw the lovely top. The lace detail on the top seemed to match the lace effect of the hat and the colours coincided beautifully. A simple but summery outfit:) 



I also decided to wear a new shade of nail polish that I absolutely adore. I love pastels anywhere, and my nails are no exception. This one is called 'Milkshake' from Woolworths. And I love it!
Have a lovely week everyone!!

A Pop Of Colour

 Red Top- Woolworths/ Jeans-Edgars/ Wedges- Steve Madden/Bag- Country Road
I just love the colour of this top, it's such an intense vibrant red and it just seems to brighten up the whole outfit. And this is the first time I'm wearing my new Steve Madden wedges that my mom bought for me just the other day. They are so lovely, and the bottom of the wedge is patent in contrast to the normal matte leather of the top. I'm also wearing my snake print sling bag that I showed in a previous post.





 We also went for some coffee at one of our favourite coffee shops, and we had the most adorable cupcakes (lemon-poppyseed)...mmm :) 


Have a lovely weekend everyone!!

You can't win them all

When will I learn not to try and dress casual on Casual Friday? It always ends up in Meh.



Sweater: Joe Fresh
Top: Zara via Value Village
Pants: Lilith from Paris
Shoes: Fly London

I really don't have much to say about this other than it's kind of blah.

I love these pants but I'm not sure of how to style them or what shoes will looked best with them.

I felt frumpy all day.

Polka dots and moonbeams

Happy March 1. Today is  my husband's birthday so a happy, happy 41st to my B. I bought him some tickets to see Cirque du Soleil which is coming here in May. We've seen a lot of Cirque shows - 1 in Lisbon, 3 in Las Vegas, and 1 here in town and they are all such amazing and wondrous shows. I'm looking forward to it! So I guess it's a present for me as much as it is for B.

May seems so far away right now because it's so cold out. FREEZING today. I wore this wool dress today but I probably should have worn wool pants.



Scarf: BHV in Paris
Sweater: Pretty Things Boutique
Dress: Smoking Lily from Elsie's
Shoes: Fluevog Get Up! | Barkerville

I was excited when I found this dress at a local used clothing store. It looks brand new. Apparently there's a woman in town who brings a lot of Smoking Lily clothes to this store. Score!

When I got this dress, I also got a cute little hood with a screen printed anatomical heart on it. I should probably wear it tomorrow since it's going to continue to be cold and snowy.



Here's the dress without the sweater. The shirt is from a store in Reykjavik, Iceland.

My hair is getting quite long. I'm really happy with the length now and I especially like my new thicker, straighter bangs. I'm feeling cute again.

Hope everyone else is feeling cute too.

OOTD- Shades Of Brown And Celine Bags

 Top- Cotton On/ Wedges- Aldo/ Jeans- Viking/ Clutch- Trenery
I Love the slouchiness of this top, so much in fact that I had to buy it in another colour (blue with pink) which I'm sure I'll post about really soon as they are so comfortable and easy to wear. I paired this one, which is such a lovely shade of brown with my boyfriend jeans and Aldo wedges, along with my favourite Trenery clutch. I also opted for my new gold bangles and ring from Sass Diva which I also love:) 


 Bracelets & Rings- Sass Diva/ Necklace- Gifted
 Another outfit courtesy of my mom, this time she's wearing boyfriend jeans and a white baggy T, with beautiful brown accessories. And...her new, absolutely gorgeous Celine bag which is aptly named 'Jungle' because of it's beautiful colour. Love it so much!  


Have a lovely day everyone!!

Feeling Girly- A&F Dress

 Dress- Abercrombie and Fitch/ Espadrilles-Mr.Price
So this outfit is definitely an all out 'girly' outfit. From the colour of the dress to the flower in my hair,  it's certainly feminine. But sometimes it's nice to put on a dress and feel like you should be doing twirls all day long:) This dress is from Abercrombie and Fitch, and I love the detailing by the bust and in the back, I paired it with simple white espadrilles for a different feel. 





Pink cross necklace- Jenna Clifford 

Have an amazing day everyone!!

OOTD- Oversized Knit

 Knit- Zara/ Shorts- Woolworths/ Wedges- Aldo/ Clutch- Mr.Price
This knit is the perfect item of clothing for those days when slouchy seems the only way to wear something. The oversized fit is extremely comfortable, not to mention it adds a different look to the whole outfit. I paired this one with a simple white boyfriend T (a staple in my wardrobe) and faded denim shorts. I also chose to wear my Aldo wedges that seemed to bring a bit of an edge, with the studs and straps, and my adorable clutch with the brown bow. I can't tell you thank you enough for all your wonderful comments on my last post, it really means so much to me:) 




 Rings- Sass Diva/ Wooden cuff- Woolworths

I hope you have an amazing week everyone!!
