Modern Victorian

Top, Winners. Bralette, Nasty Gal. Skirt, Asos. Heels (here). Purse, Marc Jacobs. Necklace, c/o Happiness Boutique. Sunnies, (here). 

 
One of the easiest ways to glam up a simple/casual outfit is to put a statement piece on it. For this look, I was inspired by the nouveau modern Victorian looks as seen on the FW 15/16 runways. As well as this pretty flower bouquet statement necklace from Happiness Boutique. The beautifully crafted flower pieces that adorn this necklace work well with the lace detailing of the top, while the gold and beige hues compliment the neutral colour scheme. And speaking of Fall, this look could easily transition into your Fall wardrobe by simply pairing it with a longer maxi skirt.

So how does wearing this necklace make me feel? Happy. And happiness is exactly what the Happiness Boutique delivers straight to your door in the form of a very cute package! When I first checked them out online I found an abundance of ultra feminine dresses and tops, amongst a vast selection of necklaces, earrings, and other jeweled details – and their playsuits are fab! Also, not only does Happiness Boutique offer free shipping, but they also have a customer reward program. Oh, and about the shipping; the necklace arrived before I even had a chance to head over to my mailbox to check on it. I swear it must have teleported or something. Check out their site for your own bit of happiness when you get a chance.

Enjoy your day! xo

Harem Pants

Lace cami, (old). Pants, H&M. Shoes, Nine West. Purse, Lulus. Necklace, The Bay. Sunnies, Foster Grant (Rexall).

 
Wore this to our fave sushi joint the other night. I bought these harem pants from H&M ages ago but have never worn them. I guess as much as I adored them on the hanger, I was a bit, well, nervous to wear such a bold style and colour. But I finally forced myself to do it and I couldn’t be happier with how they looked. I was fortunate enough to score some coral accessories earlier this season which were the perfect compliment to these slouchy pants.

Tribal

 Jacket, Old Navy. Cutoffs, Hollister. Top, gifted. Hat, Olive & Pique (here). Moccasins, SoftMoc. Bag, TNA (Aritzia). Jewelry, Child of Wild. Sunnies, Foster Grant (Rexall).

Leaving the cottage is always sad for us. We stayed up for a whole week this time which was a really nice getaway from reality. Snapped these photos on our way home. Although we had initially found the most beautiful road with a canopy of trees above it, but the deer flies were so bad that we couldn’t even roll down a window, let alone get out of the car. So we shot this tribal inspired look a little closer to home where it was safer to venture outside. This week totally flew by for me and now another weekend is upon us, got any plans?

Wishing you a fab weekend! xo
