I decided to give the track pants trend a try and I have to say that I'm liking the look. When they're in classic black like this pair from Old Navy, it makes it easy to dress up or down. I love that they can take me from Zumba to cocktails just by switching shoes (I was wearing Converse Chucks with this exact outfit for brunch earlier in the day). Bonus points for comfort!

Put A Coat On It

{ Coat: Veeko // Top: HRH Collection // Pants: H&M // Scarf: Burberry // Shoes: Pour La Victoire // Bag: Chanel // Sunglasses: House of Harlow 1960 }

Although it's still too warm in Vancouver to wear a winter coat, when I saw that Pretty Shiny Sparkly's next Bloggers Do It Better challenge was wool/winter coats, I pulled one of mine out of storage and draped it over my shoulders. This styling method is perfect for when you need to keep warm but don't want to be sweating through your layers. If you need more reasons not to put your arms through your coat sleeves, read this article. Happy Friday!

Moto Chic

I've never considered myself lucky when it comes to contests. I was always the one who never won things no matter how many times I entered. But that all changed this year! My most recent win were these amazing Moto Combo James Jeans from a blog giveaway that Alex of To Vogue or Bust hosted. Let me just say that I was beyond ecstatic and when they arrived, it was like Christmas morning. The moto-style stitching and patches make these the most unique pair of jeans I own, and they really up the style ante of any outfit that I put together with them. Be prepared to see a lot more of these jeans on the blog :)

Since the weather decided to go back in time to what looks like winter, I'm pulling these photos out that were taken in February and were all but forgotten. Sadly, I don't even own the sweater and pants I'm wearing in this outfit anymore (the sweater snagged like crazy and the zipper broke on the cargos), and Eleanor moved out of her apartment, which means this is the last you'll see of this balcony and its view. But things are still coming up roses! All the rosy-toned pieces in this outfit are here to stay and summer solstice is tomorrow.  Best. Season. Ever.

Mint Julep

With the Kentucky Derby happening this weekend, I got inspired by the colours of the race's official drink, the mint julep. Interestingly enough, I wore almost the exact same outfit last year, but turning my dress into a top and adding a pair of mint jeans changes the look completely.

Update: I'm now sharing this look on IFB's latest project: Show Us Your Stripes!

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Stopping in for a quick hello to share this minty shade of green I'm wearing to get in the spirit for today's holiday (which may also include imbibing in a green beverage of some sort as I head off to brunch). Enjoy your Sunday!

Colour Me Valentine

Colour Blocked: Mint & Navy

Remember when I said I'd style my pastel mint jeans into a Fall-appropriate look? Well, here it is! I opted to colour block mint with navy, and used black to keep with a mostly darker colour palette. These photos were shot before I left for Cabo when the weather wasn't quite so bone-chillingly cold. I'd definitely need a jacket now!

Also, today is the last day to enter my olive + piper giveaway for a Mira Spike Necklace so if you haven't entered yet, go do it now!

Pastel Colour Blocking

Trend or not, I have always been a fan of pastels, and pink and purple are by absolute favourite shades. I wore the two colours together and accented the outfit with this minty green sequin Zara clutch for an extra punch of colour blocking goodness. You may have also noticed a new friend I made in these photos. This cat was incredibly friendly and insisted on being a part of the shoot!

Stripes are such a classic wardrobe staple. They up the chic factor of almost any outfit and their nautical nature lends a sense of effortless style. I dressed up this navy and white striped bodycon dress with a blazer, high heels and a neon necklace, but can easily see myself dressing it down with a chambray shirt and gladiator sandals. The styling possibilities are really endless.
