Let's go to the beach

Ohh been feeling so fly since you’ve been gone
My face to the sky, sunglasses on
Turnin' up the beat so sick
I’m like a brand new chick

Beautiful weather here in Toronto!  I am loving my summer.  I got a weekends only job doing bottle service at a swanky upscale chic sexy nightclub and I think it is going to be a lot of fun!  This way I can focus more on doing my blog during the week as well as looking for jobs in my field of PR & Communications.

TREND UPDATE


Wedges are so hot right now!  You have to be careful because some wedges are just ridiculous and others are fabulous.  Here are some that I love.

Neon has made a huge comeback since my preteen years (back in the 90's) when everyone wanted to dress like the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.  These bright hughes are huge this summer!  I am on a hunt for something in yellow, hopefully something similar to this gorgeous piece by Elise Overland.

I have always loved pink and this shade is stunning!  This dress by Jason Wu shows three other great trends, cutouts, maxi length skirting as well as sheer overlay.  Photo via Imaxtree.

Can't forget colour blocking!  I am on the hunt for something yellow and I love this whole outfit by Nina Ricci.  I would wear every piece especially the gorgeous high waisted skirt.  The bow detail on the top really adds perfect detail to finish the look.  Photo via Imaxtree.

Patterns are huge right now!  More trends to try:  Tribal prints & crop tops are super cute if worn properly.  Coming soon to a post near you.  Here is a great clutch I am lusting over by Jimmy Choo, it combines neon with a gorgeous leopard pattern!

I am loving the cigarette-hole and crochet effect for summer.   It is easier to layer on your knits when it is cool and breezy at night and it gives and edgy sophisticated look.  Today's outfit is brought to you by a gorgeous skirt I picked up at BCBG that features tiny cigarette-hole detailing that I am in love with!  The skirt is super soft and a pale, nude colour.  So many outfits planned for this baby!  Here are some photos of my outfit for today.

What do you think?  Shirt tucked in or out?  I am wearing my mother's vintage clock necklace and a stack of bracelets I grabbed randomly before heading outside.  The skirt was down from $220 to $50! 

Close up on the details of the cigarette-holes!  The skirt has a suede feel but not as heavy.

Top - Costa Blanca

Summertime adventures

These lies and deceptions
Only affecting us in a negative way, wrong direction
Starting to fade away our connection
Will we ever find a way to progress
And live life for each second
Without second guessin'


It is great to actually have a weekend and not dedicate it to just working!
The weather here was so gorgeous except that it can change in a second; you often end up wearing two outfits in one day or having to layer like crazy.  It does not help my laundry pile.
Last night I went to a barbeque at my girlfriend's house, my brother came along with some of my close friends.  This morning when I went for brunch with my girlfriend her car battery died, we got it boosted and then it died again.  One trip to Canadian Tire and a lot of cash later she had a brand new battery and we headed back to my place.  Once there she locked her keys in her car.  It was actually quite a fun day aside from the mishaps!  It was so beautiful outside I am starting to get a tan.
Without further ramblings I will show you some outfit pictures from the past days!
Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine and having a great weekend.

My shoes are missing in the pictures but they are brown ankle combat-style open toe boots!

Didn't I give it all?
Tried my best,
Gave you everything I had,
Everything and no less,
Didn't I do it right?
Did I let you down?

I am loving the cat eye & goggle glasses/sunglasses on the Spring 2011 runway  (Prada, Tom Ford, Norma Kamali, Dior, etc.)  Unfortunately I had myself convinced that square was the only shape that would work in sunglasses for my face.  I had a bad day today and I stopped in a Guess outlet to cheer myself up and I snagged these for $34.  What do you think?

Sunglasses - Guess $34
Grandma sweater - Winners $10
Basic T-shirt - H&M $6
Bag - Louis Vuitton

I went out for dinner with my mom and my brother it was great to bond with them!  Boston beat Vancouver and the series is close!  Who are you rooting for?
A few snaps of my outfit and maybe some other goodies!

P.S.  What style are you liking for bathing suits this summer?

Hate, love, hate hate hate love

Everywhere I go,
The only thing I see
Is beautiful people...

This weekend was super busy at my work!  We had our grand opening patio party on Thursday and I have been working tons saving up a ton of money.  I haven't had a chance to go shopping in so long, I am going tomorrow since I have a day off!


I haven't gotten any outfits shot or anything like that but I did snap a few pictures on my phone lately so I thought I'd share a quick update!


Weather is finally warmer and I have lots of plans for this summer!  What are yours?

The guy at Starbucks told me that my coffee matches my hair!  Iced white mocha mmmm.

Close up on my mom's vintage necklace.  She got it as a gift from my grandparents when she was 13.  If you lift it up to look at it it shows you the time so it hangs upside down.  It has no battery and the wind-up stopped working years ago, but I still love it!


First two pictures:
Dress - H&M

Second two:  
Dress - Club Monaco
Jacket - Garage
