Back to School with Simons

_DSC9896-Edit

Who’s ready to go back to school!? Are you raising your hand? No? Me neither. I used to like going back to school when I was in high school, hmmm actually make that elementary school. Back to university just marks the beginning of stress season, all nighters, eating terribly, looking like a zombie with unwashed hair…should I go on? As much as school can be a complete and total pain, I always try to remember how lucky I am to have the opportunity to go to school and how valuable education is. Continue reading

Outfit Round Up: Bluesfest 2016

FullSizeRender-8

Hey guys! In my last post,I shared an outfit with you that I styled for Bluesfest. Like I mentioned last time, it was my first time attending the festival and I had a blast!! My favourite shows were Belly (surprisingly), The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Nelly. I would’ve definitely added Drake to that list had he shown up as the surprise guest at the Future show like the rumours were saying. I’m not even going to go into that because the disappointment was soooo real *ugly cries*.

Festival Fashion

FullSizeRender-7

A couple of weeks ago my lovely blogger friend Katie of Yow City Style contacted me for a festival fashion collab. She challenged me to style my best festival outfit with pieces I could find at the Bayshore Shopping Centre for her take over of the Bluesfest fashion instagram account. For those who don’t know, Bluesfest is a 10 day music festival here in Ottawa that features a range of different awesome artists every summer. This year will actually be my first time attending (for my Ottawa people I know I’m crazy! I’ve lived here Continue reading

Beyonce O’Clock

FullSizeRender-6

Hi everyone!! I know it’s been a while since I’ve posted. I’m not even going to explain myself and go into it because I’ll be doing it every time I post it seems. I hate these huge gaps between my posts but I swear there’s just not enough hours in a day! Every time I say that, I remember a meme I saw once that read something like “You have the same amount of hours in a day as Beyonce”. I think this meme is supposed to be motivating but it really isn’t. Like let’s not forget Beyonce is an A-list celebrity with  Continue reading

Hey guys! How are you all? Anyone else suuuper excited that it’s finally actually looking like spring here?! Mother Nature has been playing us lately with last minute snow storms, freezing rain and fake sunshine, but finally the temperatures are climbing. Still, the day I wore this look was one of those days where you look outside and a huge smile spreads on your face because your like OMG sun!! Then, you step outside in a cute (not winter appropriate) outfit and proceed to regret all the choices you made. I was fooled by the sun. It was cold af, but I wasn’t about to let winter win so I carried on in the cold (but really it’s Continue reading

Black Out

FullSizeRender-4

Hey guys!! This look has be hanging out on my laptop for sooo long now (you can tell by the fresh snow I was walking in). I think it’s finally time to share since spring is almost here and you’ll judge my procrastination even more if I wait any longer. I’ve been wearing a lot of all black looks lately because 1. I love wearing black 2. It’s easy to wear and style when I’m rushing to school and 3. It was my way of making sure I could be found in all the snow we were getting buried in. Continue reading

IMG_2670

Hey guys! Happy New Year!! We’re 7 days in already. How are you doing? Have you managed to keep your resolutions so far? I don’t usually make resolutions. I definitely think about things that I want to do and achieve in the coming year, but don’t really set them in stone or make a list. This year I’ve surcome to the resolution hype. I’ve made a few beauty and fashion resolutions that I thought I’d share. Let’s see how long I can keep them up. Continue reading

The White Coat

llllll

Have you ever worn a coat any other colour than your typical black or grey and felt like you stood out like a sore thumb? That’s how I felt the day I wore this coat; like a white dot in a sea of darker dots swimming through the mall. It had me feeling like all eyes were on me (that was probably in my own head, you know that whole spotlight effect we all experience). But you know when you catch someone staring at you, and you have no idea why or if it was a good or bad stare? I used to never know how to feel about it. I’d be like, “Do I look crazy? Did I do something weird? Do I have something on my face? In my teeth? Continue reading

A Gift Guide for the ‘Fashion Girl’ on Your List

Processed with VSCOcam with a6 preset

It’s Friday, December 18th, that means only one week until Christmas!! That sentence either a) excited you and made you jump for joy or b) struck fear and panic into your soul! (Ok, probably wasn’t that dramatic but you know what I mean). If you experienced option a), then high five because me and you both finished our Christmas shopping already! (I’m particularly excited about being done early because it’s the first time ever and I’m pretty proud of myself, snaps for me!). If you experienced option b) you are a last minute shopper! You’ll be wandering around the mall with that ‘O Ma gawd’ look on your face. But don’t worry, I’ve been there many times, so this year I’m here for you. Continue reading

A Walking Ad

FullSizeRender-5

Remember in the last post how I said that now of all times I’m loving wearing skirts and dresses? Yaaaa, I wasn’t joking. Here I am in a sleeveless dress like it’s May and not mid December (YAY for the above zero temperatures we’ve been having!!). I still need to remind myself that its cold and winter dressing time. I could’ve been a little warmer in this look but I was pretty comfortable thanks to some secret layering tricks. Want to know what they are? (I ask like I’m not just about to tell you anyway).
