Hey Everyone! Sorry for the hiatus, I know I haven't posted in a hot minute (school/life happened). Anyways, as Lisa said this Summer has definately been ridiculously hot! My go-to style for keeping cool has been decidedly city-girl chic. I wore lots of t-shirt dresses, denim cut-offs and rompers paired with sneakers. Check out some of my looks below.
Dress: H&M // shoes: Footlocker (Adidas) // Purse: Forever 21 // Sunglasses: Random boutique in chinatown
Romper: American Apparel // Purse: Aldo // Shoes: Little Burgundy
Hat: Forever 21 // Top: Brandy Melville // Shorts: Value Village // Belt: Value Village // Shoes: Little Burgundy (Jeffrey Campbell) // Purse: Forever 21
This summer was a scorcher!! I don't remember the last time there was a summer that was so consistently hot. I kept cool this season by rocking lots of denim cutoffs and mini skirts. I loved rocking all my summer styles, but I'm over this weather now and super ready for fall fashion. I know I'll regret saying that but anywho, check out some of my looks below.
This post is a little late, but earlier this summer I ended up scoring a pair of the ever-elusive Rihanna Fenty x Puma Creepers. I was initially unsure of the shoe when it first dropped, but it quickly grew on me! I got the shoes in the Bordeaux colourway, which is a hunter green colour with a dark red stripe. I love this colourway as it reminds me of the classic 70s inspired Puma styles. I originally ordered this pair from Nordstrom and after a whole ordeal (watch the video below to hear about it) I ended up cancelling my order and ordering from Toronto-based Getoutside Shoes. I had no idea Getoutside was also carrying this line, so I was quite pleasantly surprised to find out I could grab a pair from here. This way I avoided dealing with insane conversion rates, shipping and customs fees. I think these shoes are a must have for any die hard fan of Miss Badgyalriri (such as myself) and/or Puma. I know I'm eyeing the fluffy slippers as my next purchase!
I created this really cute gift crate as a present to one of my best friends and wanted to share with you all how I made it! I think it's a really cool, aesthetically pleasing way of presenting a gift. The great part about it is that the recipient can use it as decor and storage afterward. The gifts we put in the crate were a collaborative effort between myself and two other friends and I think it all added a really personalized twist. Check out the video below for a full tutorial.
This post is long overdue, but last month I took a little trip with my girlfriends to La Romana, Dominican Republic. We stayed at the Grand Bahia Principe La Romana Resort, and I highly recommend it especially if you are a family, and/or looking for something more low-key than the usual resort fare. The weather was beautiful almost all throughout the trip and the resort staff were wonderful and attentive. We participated in two off-resort excursions - ziplining, and snorkeling with a trip to Catalina Island. These two excursions really made the trip for me, as we got to really see the beauty of the island without the commercialized lens of a resort.
Hope you enjoy my vacay pics and that they help you think of warmer days. I filmed a lookbook/travel diary of my trip as well. Check it all out after the jump!
