Against the plain: pt. 6

It’s Saturday evening, and instead of going out, or spending time with my S-O, I’m sitting here in bed, catching up on an endless list of school work I have to do for this week.
BORRING. I know right?
So I thought I’d take a little break from school work to post a very casual and simple OOTD, something I’d wear to school, or if I wanted to be comfy.
I hold this Calvin Klein tshirt dearly to my heart since it’s the coolest item I’ve ever found at a thrift store. CK items are quite pricey, and I found this bad boy at value village a year ago for 3$ (instead of 55$ online). It was a bargain  I couldn’t pass up.
I don’t usually opt for converse, but I thought they complemented the casual look and I liked how a low, slim sneaker looked with my jeans cuffed up.

That’s it for me, I wish good luck to all my fellow people struggling through the last months of school before summer. We’re almost there!!

A shoot with YOWcitystyle

~ teaspoonsofstyle ~ 2 Comments


Last Friday I had the pleasure to meet with a lovely blogger who goes by the name of “YOWcitystyle”. The idea behind the blog/Instagram is to show off the street style of Ottawa while promoting local areas.

I decided to shout out the tea party cafe in the market because the atmosphere is cozy and calm and they have a great variety of tea and vegetarian snacks. I do my best work for school when I’m there.

For my outfit I wanted to do something a little out of my comfort zone with the long lines and baggy layers.

Shoes: aldo (as always)
Pants and jacket: Zara
Necklace and shirt: oak and Fort

Weekend in Toronto pt. 1

Here’s a look at what I wore today or “if I were a boy” as BeyBey would say. This look is easy and comfortable because of the layers and loose fit. The sneakers made for an enjoyable walk on queen st west. On the plus side, the entire outfit is perfectly unisex so you and your bae can match.

My boyfriend and I went to Toronto for the weekend and had a great stay. It was our first time using airbnb (we stayed on top of a store on queen st west) and I have no horror stories to tell so.. score!

We mainly toured around the city; visited Kensington market, Dundas square, the eaton center, the art gallery of Ontario, and of course explored the neighbourhood where we stayed and found this amazing graffiti alley, had to snap an ootd!

On top of exploring, we ate some amazing food which was recommended to me by a friend, and now I’d like to pass on the yummy eats and suggest to you if ever you’re in the 6ix to try out Neuf Café (a Parisian style café that serves unreal breakfast), momofuku noodle bar, harlem (can never go wrong with chicken and waffles) and north of Brooklyn pizzeria.

I had a lovely and chilled out Valentine’s weekend with my sweetie and I hope you did too whether it was with your S/O or just your best gal pal.
