Black Trench Coat, Gold Hardware, and Army Green

Hey lovelies! I was loving my outfit today and thought I'd share the details. 

This black trench coat has been a staple in my wardrobe and goes perfectly with everything. It's light weight and perfect for chilly summer evenings. I purchased mine in the clearance from Forever 21, but here are some great alternatives. I also love this one from Forever 21, although it is not black. This one form ASOS is also great, as well as this one from The Bay (currently under $70!)

How to Style Statement Shorts

Hey lovelies!

Summer is officially here and it is time to break out the fun summer wardrobe I've been dying to wear since spring. In the depths of summer, certain days are just too hot to pull off a put together outfit and all I feel like wearing are ripped denim shorts and a tank top. 

A fun pair of shorts can really liven up the tank top and shorts combo and add depth to an outfit. My go-to when paring stamen prices is to start with your basic tones, which are black and white. You can never go wrong with pairing something bright and colourful with white and nudes; hence, emphasizing on your statement piece. 

Here are some of my favourite styles of shorts for this season. For affordable finds, I'm loving these and this scalloped pair. These are also super cute. I also love these, but they are a pricier option.

Summer Edit

Hey lovelies! Happy (officially) summer!

This season I'm super excited to rock the pastels of spring, monochromatic white outfits and bold pops of colour.

I'm always a sucker for scalloped detailing. I love how feminine and sophisticated it is as well as how it gives an outfit a subtle detail. I have definitely filled my summer wardrobe with tons of scalloped pieces!

I feel like the Gucci trend still has a lot of life in it as I feel like cool Gucci loafers are the perfect accent to a summer outfit.

Its not summer without breaking out a cool and relaxed stripped top, especially a pinstripe top. Pinstripe, in particularly in blue tone have especially been trending and I find that they are perfect paired with ripped denim and a statement bag.

I'm also seeing a ton of bows and tie detail, especially on sleeves and as belts for skirts. I'm actually loving how bows and ties add a subtle detail to a plain outfit. I have for sure been guilty of buying a ton of pieces with bows and ties. Sleeves with bow ties give interest to a basic top and looks well-though out without actually trying.

What are you edited to wear for summer? I'd love to know!

Thanks for stopping by!

Contemporary Pairing - Structured Blouse and Tweed

Hey lovelies! I love finding new pieces each season that inspire me to re-style old pieces! I focus on finding timeless prices for my wardrobe, like a classic black tweed coat, that I can wear year after year and that can be styled with new trendy pieces.

How to Incorperate Spring Layers into Your Summer Style

Hey lovelies! I'm so happy that the weather is finally feeling like summer! 

I'm I think the simplest way to transition your Spring wardrobe into summer is to pair your light knit sweaters with shorts and skirts. I've been doing the for years as sometimes it can still get chilly in the evenings (and protests against those irritable mosquitos!). A knit sweater is both warm and airy and is great tucked into a fun pair of statement shorts or a cute skirt. I like tucking half of the sweater into my bottoms, while leaving the back side loose. This gives a styled and relaxed feel to an outfit. My post Red Lips and Lace Details shows a fun pairing with the same sweater with lace shorts.

Off-the-Shoulder Basics

Hey lovelies! Blue pinstripe off-the-shoulder tops are a must have this summer. I'm obsessed with this one I purchased from Reitman's last summer, but here are so affordable alternatives (here and here). I love this one from Self-Portrait if you want to splurge and treat yourself.
