neutrals

dress XXI / belt zara / clutch topshop / shoes michael kors

It's been a while but I'm finally back from California (which I'll be blogging about later on)!  So lately for some reason I've been obsessed with beiges, taupes, ivory and pale pink for the summer since they're so neutral that they'll basically go with anything I pair them with.  I love the length of this dress and how the bottom is almost like two petals of a flower, definitely need to get some more midis.

The Michael Kors heels I'm wearing in this outfit were such a steal!  I managed to get them just below the border at an Off Saks 5th Avenue outlet for just $20, I was so shocked when I saw the price! Sometimes it's so unfair how much cheaper America is .. :(

white dress and food

dress: asos, shoes: nine west, bracelet and earring: gifts

Another simple outfit because one pieces can easily make an outfit. Usually I pair a top and bottom together but since maxis and one pieces are always in style, I wanted to own a few. Asos is such a great online shopping site. It's from the UK and they offer free international shipping always and carry very trendy items. :) They also have their own marketplace where anyone can sign up and sell or buy vintage clothing!

I didn't get a lot of photos showing the outfit in detail, but recently I tried a nice french restaurant for my birthday dinner and thought I'd share pictures! (food porn time..)

The place was upstairs a commercial building on Bloor street where all the designer stores are at (Toronto's 5th avenue?!). It was really pretty inside with ceilings with glass window designs and fancy tables/chairs.

Creme brulee!! one of my favourite desserts of all time.

Excuse the photos that I took with my shitty old digital camera. ):

top: french connection / shorts: f21 / shoes: zara

Really simple outfit for summer! 
The only store I shop at often in person is probably zara.. It's really hard to find stuff in trend, so I often resort to ordering clothes online.  Also, it's really hard to find sizes for me when I shop in person, so often trips end up in frustration cuz there are nice things that don't fit me.
That's why shopping in the US is always fun because they have stores like Topshop, Anthropologie, Madewell, etc. everywhere! They are usually bigger with more variety too, Canada needs to step it up lol.

Oh yeah, all the photos are taken by Lily in her backyard haha;; but she's having fun in California right now, so jealous!!

houndstooth + floral lace

top: zara / tube top: H&M / shorts: forever21 / belt: zara / shoes: forever 21 / bag: Topshop

Ok thought we should both make one post with outfits first! Just gonna say, I'm the much slower poster ahha.. Our first shoot took place together, it was fun! I'm pretty bad at posing for photos.. It's hard to look natural without someone giving you instructions on what to do. 

I'm also such a print whore lately.. The shorts have houndstooth pattern, while my tube top has polka dots and my top has floral and lace! I really love the cut out on the back of the top as well as the standing collar, I'm seeing too many typical oxford collars lately.

the classic black&white

top Forever21, bandeau aerie, leggings tna, heels zara

Wow, my first post, I'm so excited aha ! Well since this is only the beginning, I thought the first outfit I'd post would be something simple and classic which is why I immediately thought of black & white.  I recently got the top from Forever21 and I immediately fell in love with it because of how flowy and easy it looked.  I love wearing light shirts in the summer in order to survive high temperatures !

Love my Zara shoes, they're just so easy to wear with anything ! And I've especially been loving ankle straps these days, they just make everything look so much more elegant, even just a simple pair of black leggings.  Every girl needs a pair of beautiful black heels that they can easily mix and match with anything, since everyone needs a littleblackdress why not have simpleblackheels as well ? :)
