Wearing a (what I will call vintage) faux fur coat from H&M. Styled with skinny jeans and lace up flats overtop a crochet crop layered over a long sleeve tee. I’ve had this coat for a very long time and only worn it a handful of times. But it’s a piece I’ve come to enjoy more over the years. Having learned the very hard way (and having lost some great vintage pieces along the way) that everything comes back into style. Therefore now I make it a habit to keep pieces and re-introduce them into my wardrobe when the time calls for it.

One of the things I like about recycling vintage pieces is having a unique garment amongst other mass produced items of their time. While still representing the season’s most coveted feature in your own unique way. One thing to keep in mind when purchasing said items (like say a faux fur coat or even OTK boots) is to capture the unique trend without going overboard. This will make your piece a timeless classic. 

We took these photos after running errands downtown then stopping in for cappuccino at Liberty Village thanks to the Ritual app. Which kept us on schedule. Bypass the lineup with this little beauty and get straight to your coffee (or other treats as ordered) when you walk in. Have a look see for yourself what cute little coffee shops and fun places to eat at participate in the ritual. Click here to get $10 in credits to try Ritual for yourself. (Good for the downtown Toronto area). Enjoy!

Top, Garage. Cutoffs, Hollister. Gladiators, Aldo. Sunnies, Foster Grant.

 
We spontaneously took off to the cottage for a few days, leaving very little time to pack while scrambling amongst other tasks. When up here, I tend to keep it simple and live in cutoffs during the day, switching into 3/4 or full-length trackpants by night. Only because the mosquitoes can get out of control at times. (Having learned my lesson after approx 20 ankle bites in one night). I try not to sacrifice too much style in lieu of comfort, so I paired a pretty lace top with denim cutoffs and gladiators.

On a side note, I couldn’t find my sunglasses anywhere, so we had to dip into the nearest town about 30 mins away and I was lucky enough to find these cute leopard detailed ones. Guess it all worked out in the end.

Have a lovely day!
