Princess Shoes

{ Coat: Mackage // Sweater Dress: Old Navy // Jeans: Gap // Shoes: Jimmy Choo // Bag: Louis Vuitton // Sunglasses: Zara }

Meet the newest addition to my shoe family, Jimmy Choo. They were waiting for me under the Christmas tree (doesn't my husband have fantastic taste?!) and though I initially toyed with the idea of returning them for a more practical pair of shoes, I couldn't let go of the sexy style and vibrant raspberry colour. Plus, Kate Middleton has the same pair but in silver (see here). If the Duchess wears them, so will I! Just not with princess dresses...

I have been living in this oversized blanket scarf from Zara. It's been keeping me warm since the temperature has dipped below zero, and the tartan/plaid patterns are right on point this season. Double the plaid, double the fun!

I finally got to take some of my new JewelMint pieces that I won from Gal Meets Glam's giveaway out for a spin. This metal clutch is especially fun and different, as are these Zara trousers. The leopard print with a camouflage feel really won me over.

Speaking of winning, don't forget to enter my olive + piper giveaway! You have until Friday, December 14 to submit your entries for a Mira Spike Necklace and if you can't wait, you can take 10% off your order with the promo OLIVEMARISA.

Tangerine Tango

According to the Pantone Fashion Color Report, Tangerine Tango, a bright juicy orange, is the bee's knees for Spring 2012. I must admit it's a great colour that's just as cheerful as its sunny yellow cousin, Solar Power. Lucky for me, I bought this orange tank last year during Zara's summer sale and now it fits perfectly into this season's wardrobe. Don't you love it when that happens?

Très Chic

If you've been reading my blog for a while you may have noticed that I'm a fan of HRH Collection jewelry, which is handmade and designed by a talented gal, Alex. I first discovered her on YouTube a year ago, and fell in love with her videos, blog and jewelry. I introduced Eleanor to HRH Collection, and we've since amassed a small collection of her jewelry. This Très Chic necklace I'm wearing belongs to Eleanor and I borrowed it to complete this look. Like most of the pieces Alex makes for the collection, it adds the perfect amount of edge to the outfit.

The Colour Purple

Purple is my favourite colour (pink comes a very close second) and these jeans are my latest acquisition to my collection of coloured pants (currently in my closet: red, cobalt blue, hot pink, pastel pink, and mint). I'm telling myself that I have enough colours but I've got my eyes on a pastel yellow pair. And a peach pair. After that I should be done. Really!

Colour Pop

The Vancouver Art Gallery is a stunning piece of architecture and it provided the perfect backdrop for making my pink trousers pop. I'm a huge fan of coloured denim and pants for Spring so expect to see more colours (and prints!) in future outfits. Have a great weekend everyone! Any big plans?

Casual Friday

{ Leather Jacket: Mackage // Sweater: H&M // Tank Top: Aritzia // Jeans: Levi's // Shoes: Converse // Scarf: Alexander McQueen // Clutch: Coach // Sunglasses: Versace // Ring: David Yurman }

I have to admit that this is one of the most comfortable outfits I've styled for this blog. You really can't beat a pair of Converse kicks and worn-in boyfriend jeans; it's perfect weekend wear. Happy Friday!

Side Tracked

{ Jacket: Mackage Nev // Shirt & Booties: Zara // Jeans: Gap // Bag: Badgley Mischka // Sunglasses: Marc by Marc Jacobs // Watch: Longines // Jewelry: HRH Collection necklace, BCBG Max Azria ring, JewelMint Black Swan cuff and Pandora bracelet }

It's ironic that I titled this post "Side Tracked" back when these photos were first taken in the second week of January, because I actually got side tracked from publishing this post until now. It was meant to be a reference to the train tracks but it's become a literal title. Better late than never?

Fashion-wise, I've been living in these snakeskin-print jeans from the Gap and love the texture they give to an outfit. My JewelMint Black Swan Cuff is also a new favourite. I think all prints from the animal kingdom are slowly making their way into my closet.
