#Addicted

I am seriously addicted to Instagram. If you're not sure as to what on earth I am talking about - you are either living under a rock or....you have a life. Instagram is a simple photo editing app that you can get on your iPhone/iPod to make all of your pretty little pictures look extra snazzy. It's a fun and easy way to upload everything and anything that you think is cool/wish was cool/is cool.

A little bit of this, a little bit of that

With this insane Canadian weather lately it is SO difficult to determine what to wear each morning. Therefore I've been doing a lot of layering to keep myself cool enough in the sizzling heat, yet warm enough so I don't freeze to death when the weather takes a turn for the worst. Inspired by the likes of Poppy Delevigne and of course, Alexa Chung, I've taken it upon myself to embrace my summer wardrobe of skirts and dresses (even though it seems crazy to be wearing such items in the middle of March) and layer them with my favourite coats and jackets. Need I say, I nearly have a heart attack each time I spot Poppy in her killer metal plated Chanel boots *swoon*. Another big step that I am trying so eagerly to take, is to incorporate more colour into my daily attire. I can't stress enough how much I looooove wearing black on black on black...on black. However, as the flowers bloom and the birds begin to chirp I must force myself to add a little pop of colour here and there in hopes that the sun will keep shining and I will soon enough be able to pack away all of my bulky winter clothing.

Light up

Skull candle holder, Urban Barn
I have a seriously strange fascination with skulls, so I was super excited when I found this little beauty at Urban Barn over the weekend! It's such a great accent piece for my bedroom and looks awesome when it's lit up at night. If you have a moment, check out their website...they have skull salt & pepper shakers. I know, right. So rad.

Happiness

Levi's jean jacket, H&M jeans, Forever 21 tank, Steve Madden loafers (similar style here) and bag, Ray Ban sunnies
I absolutely love days like today! It's incredibly refreshing to wake up to the sun shining through my window (something that hasn't seemed to happen for months...) and take full advantage of the gorgeous 20 degree weather. This weekend kicked off the beginning of my March break and it couldn't have been better. I can't get over how crazy the weather has been lately...one day it's snowing and the next, there isn't a cloud in the sky! But hey - any excuse to throw my winter boots aside and bring out my fave leopard loafers and bright red skinny jeans is fine with me! 
Hope you all had a fantastic, sunshine filled weekend!!

Here Comes The Sun

A little pre-'chella inspiration with the help of my fashion fave and total girl crush, Gillian Zinser
Seriously though...how much does this Planet Blue x Foam Magazine campaign make you want to book a flight, pack your bags with your best sartorial approved festival pieces and jam out to your favourite music under the hot hot heat *sigh*
Time to snap back to reality...
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend XX

Make Way For The Positive Day

I make it my monthly duty to rummage through the pages of practically every magazine out there to find my favourite articles and outfit ideas for my inspiration binder
I was feeling pretty tired from my long walk this morning so I opted to wear my most comfortable pair of Citizen's of Humanity jeggings and two major staple pieces in my closet - a white blouse, and my favourite jean vest with a dash of red lipstick. 
 For the past month or so I have made many big and better changes to my life. It's an incredibly rewarding feeling when you achieve your goals, whether it may be to eat healthier and exercise more, clean out your closet, spend more time with family, stop procrastinating homework (eeek) or to make even the slightest changes like...get 8 hours of sleep, go for a walk each day, read a book, make a new friend, listen to new music, be on time, or save your money so you can purchase those Alexander Wang pumps that you can't get off of your mind...
Whatever YOUR changes may be, make them positive ones. 
Set goals and YOU will see a difference in the way you live your life.

Oscar Round-Up

 The Vanity Fair Oscar Party at the Sunset Tower Hotel 
 Can't get over how stunning Jessica Chastain looked in McQueen, absolutely flawless
 I was hoping to see Michelle Williams come out of her usual comfort zone and she definitely did just that in this beautiful Louis Vuitton peplum gown
Gwyneth Paltrow in all white Tom Ford...and a cape! Amazing.
Kate Bosworth in Prabal Gurung...need I say more?
Selena Gomez in Dolce & Gabbana 
 I'm normally not a huge fan of Miley Cyrus' red carpet looks...but both herself and her arm-candy looked incredibly sharp last night. Love this embroidered Roberto Cavalli on her.
 The Beckhams looking as chic as ever.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Jason Statham never go unnoticed in my books.
