Birthday OOTN

Happy Friday friends!

Here’s what I wore on my 22nd birthday a couple of weeks ago to go out and dance with friends.
I have never felt more “me” in a dress. And it’s not even black!!
I felt beautiful and classy in this burnt orange piece.
I paired this fun and flowy dress with my trusty 4 year old Jeffrey Campbell litas to give me height. They’re surprisingly the comfiest heels I own despite the how tall  they are.

Jeepers Creepers! It’s #throwbackthursday today, so I thought it would be fun to put together a very 90s look. From the creepers, to the choker, to the daisy flowers, this outfit screams 90s and I’m into it. Being a 90s baby, I find myself often reminiscing and feeling nostalgic about almost everything in my childhood, from the polly pockets,  the spice girls, the twisty rhinestones to bedazzle your hair, to the ever so popular furbies. You name it, I was probably into it.
I added tight skinny jeans and a white blouse to give the look a  bit of modernity.

Let me know what your favourite throwback memory is.

Hello friends, I hope you’re having a lovely Friday!
Today I’m posting a #flashbackfriday to what I wore last Sunday for Love day! (okay okay I know so much for a flashback…)
I didn’t want to go for a typical full red or pink dress for valentines day so instead I opted for this beautiful silk white dress that gives off a romantic yet classy vibe. I threw the duster coat on since I thought the colours complemented each other perfectly and it worked as an added layer for warmth.
I chose a bold dark red lip instead of my go-to nude for some more drama.
As for jewelry I wanted to keep it very minimal as the focus is on the jacket so I threw on my beautiful silver chain that my boyfriend generously gifted to me for the special day ❤ (thanks bae).
And that’s it!
Wishing you all a happy weekend.

Happy Hump Day! (aka Wednesday)
This is my ideal comfy yet put together outfit for school.
I’ve seen others pair the same colour on the top and bottom recently and it always catches my eye so I thought I’d give it a go!
I threw on a blanket scarf for extra warmth and comfort. If you don’t already have one, I’d strongly recommend investing in a giant scarf because they are a life saver when it’s chilly in class and is used as my shield against the cold wintery months when walking outside on campus.

I look like a burrito of oatmeal and I’m ok with that. (mmm oatmeal)

shoes: Aldo
pants: Topshop (sale)

I’d like to start by saying happy Friday! I hope you all have a  wonderful weekend.
This look is all about the skirt. I’ve been wanting a button-up jean skirt for a while now and the ones at American apparel just didn’t seem to fit right. As I was waltzing through the mall after a long day of class, Zara’s sale caught my attention and I simply had to sneak a peak. Low and behold they had a denim skirt… and the best part.. it was on sale for 15$! If that’s not a bargain I don’t know what is.
To really let the skirt be the statement I went for opaque tights and a black turtle neck.

It’s cold outside

Although our winter was quite delayed, the Canadian weather has hit us full force in January. It’s not easy to portray your style and look nice while still keeping warm. I, for one, choose comfort and warmth over fashion during the cold winter months. However I got the chance to style and “model” a look for a fantastic local boutique and I love how it turned out. On top of that…I was quite toasty! I would probably throw on a chunky knit scarf and layers under the jacket for added warmth if I was wearing this for a longer period of time though. All black is a go-to for anyone, furthermore mixing textures adds fun and interest.

Shout outs to my dear friend Sonya who shot this look.
