Swinging and Swaying.

I lived in these Naturalizer sandals all summer long, getting the feeling I need to hunt for more pairs. The easy going feel of this dress makes it one of my favourites. I can't help but feel like a babe every time I put it on!

Admittedly, I hadn't heard of Gerlan Jeans New York until I stumbled upon their Spring/Summer 2013 collection in recent Fashion Week coverage. Although the latter parts of the show were a touch too early 2000s for me (visible thongs, pink camo, no pants) the first quarter of the show was delectable sugary sweetness. With a heavy influence from Minnie Mouse (werking those ear buns a la Luella, RIP) it was bright, graphic and over the top. Scallops and polka dots always pull at my heart strings, and a well placed bow seals the deal for me. Minnie Mouse is always a great reference point in my (cartoony) books.

A Tornado Flew Around My Room Before You Came, Excuse The Mess It Made.

Hello!!! It feels like it has been eternity since we've met. Since I saw you last, I've moved to bigger and nicer digs (still got my lovely roommate/BFF/twin Kate), turned another year older (is 23 your mid-twenties!?! eep...) and visited my birthplace after leaving 20 years ago.

The past month has been a doozy, to say the least. I'll be updating you on the progress on our house (decorating once again, Pinterest I'm looking at you!) and once edited, all the beautiful photos from Norway.

Today's outfit was a midsummer's dream. I ate ice cream, sat by the beach, and took a stroll in my neighbourhood. It's still pretty balmy here in Vancouver and bare legs are still somehow condusive to the weather. All I want is cold weather so I can start wearing all of my new tights... I didn't think I would ever say that.
