This was my first hiking trip of the season. I took it easy as I shook myself from my winter hibernation and prowled the woods in search of the summer sun. I think I found the spring version, but you take what you can get. Of course this arduous journey had to be comfortable so…
Balance: Floral French and Gold Birdcage Manicure
I took advantage of the fact that I don’t need to type long reports for a little while to grow my nails longer than usual. I’m still uncertain about whether I like the look of longer nails on myself and they’re definitely a little less comfortable than shorter ones but I have to say that…
Be You: Floral Slip Dress, Burgundy Boots and Blazer
I’m naturally a really shy person and having a blog is very rewarding, but is also a struggle for me because of this. Writing used to come easy to me a while ago, but I often find myself struggling when writing a post because I’m worried that I’ll say something wrong. But it’s important for…
Voluminous: Gathered Sleeve Button-Up Blouse and White Jeans
I love large sleeves in my tops and dresses. It doesn’t matter whether they’re gathered or loose and flared, I love them all. Something about the look feels a bit medieval to me and as a lover of high fantasy, this is a time period that I romanticize quite a bit in my head. I…
Cutouts, but Not: Mesh Insets Sweatshirt, Jeans and Combat Boots
I love cutouts in my clothing and think that a bit of skin can be a really fun way to spice up an otherwise simple piece of clothing. Nothing can really be simpler than a hooded sweatshirt so it’s a good thing that it has a version of this fun element. This is the mesh…
Sakura: Peach Sweater, White Vest and Jeans
Toronto does not provide the best climate for Sakura trees. In 1959, 2000 of these beautiful trees were presented as gifts to the city on behalf of Tokyo, Japan. Since then, they have continued to plant additional trees. The blossoms are very delicate and while they bloom for up to two weeks, the cold climate…
Snap Judgments: Cupcake Shimmery White Nails
I used a white with a shimmery clear polish as a background for these cupcake decals to make them really pop. I originally didn’t like this manicure, but it sort of grew on me over the first few days. I make it a rule not to judge things too quickly as first impressions can often…
Crystal and Velvet: Mint Sweater, Crystal Necklace and Velvet Leggings
I realize that most people have already pulled out their summer clothes, but it’s still rather chilly here so I have yet to pack away my sweaters. I recently wore a pair of velvet leggings here and that post was also on the dressier side. I repeat the vibe. The necklace…
Working the Monochrome: Sparkly Black Top and Velvet Leggings
I shocked myself by putting together another monochrome look (black again like the one here) so soon after my previous one. This one has a different vibe though consisting of a dressy black top and velvet leggings. The crochet top is pretty sparkly and I love the hint or ruffle trim peeking out from the…
Burgundy: Hoody, Floral Leggings and Patent Leather Combat Boots
You may have noticed that I wear a lot of burgundy (like here, here and here). In fact, it’s my favorite color for clothing. White being my favorite color in general (it’s actually a shade according to the rules of color, but it’s still my favorite). One of my wedding dresses was burgundy which should give you a strong…
