Leather and cargo

Hola Lovlies,

Today is such a sunny day. My sister and I took the pup on a walk to the lake, taking advantage of a true spring day. People were already wearing shorts, which we thought was a little crazy but those mad Canadians are always ready for summer!


Top || Zara, Jacket || Roxy, Vest || DIY, Leggings || Lululemon, Shoes || Urban Outfitters

I layered my diy military vest with a leather jacket to keep me warm on the walk. I paired it with black leggings, a graphic tank top and vans look a likes to keep a casual look. 

Top || Joe Fresh, Jacket || Jessica Simpson, Jeans || AE, Belt || Aritzia, Shoes || Toms

Caitlin wore dark wash jeans with a simple black tanktop, and played it up with her tribal coloured belt from Aritzia. On top she wore her beige parka as a light jacket and her green toms   to pull the looks together.

After the walk we got a hungry and decided frozen yogurt would be a great snack! I got a little excited when they had cotton candy (only the best flavour!)

Hope you are all enjoying your weekend

DIY: military vest

Well its finally spring! That means it's time to remove those heavy layers, and show some skin!
A few weeks ago I bought a military jacket from a vintage military shop in Kensington. Well I finally managed to find some time to make it into a vest. 


The finished product!


 This vest helps transition into the cooler days of spring with layers without the added bulk of jacket sleeves over light sweaters. Be creative with your accessories  and don't be afraid to mix textures while wearing it to help transition from day to night.

 Have fun DIY'ing and Happy Spring!
