comforts my priority!

Hey lovelies! 
Today was a day to end a school year of crazyiness! I handed in my final project before finals, my daywear dress which I have been working on since last semester. It was sad to part with a project that I have spent so much time on and put so much effort into. After I headed to the mall for some retail therapy and to pick up a jacket for tomorrow.

Instead of buying everything, I realized while shopping that I need to start sticking to my lists that I write about wardrobe additions to keep up with seasonal trends without splurging on everything!

Here are my current must haves... I have come to realize that I defiantly make sure I am comfortable in what I wear, and prefer oversize pieces combined with chic items and accessories. 

1. An oversize blazer in a bold print or neutral tone that I can layer over outfits in the early days of spring, and cool summer nights

2. A maroon beanie to hide those bad hair days and take an outfit from chic to causal!

3. I am currently re-in love with my boyfriend jeans, and am currently on the lookout for a darker wash or a fun printed pair (or maybe I will try some patchwork)

4. From my previous footwear post, I am in love with the seasons two-strap heels. I like these ones from Zara with the chunky heel making it more ideal for day time wear. 

What are your spring must haves?

The Perfect Camera Bag

Anyone that has a camera knows how difficult it is to keep it safe when you take it out. I mean dragging around an awfully large camera bag just does not make sense, nor does it flatter any outfit choice!

I was doing a bit of searching today and actually came across some great bags from canvas to leather that makes protecting your camera as easy as snapping a picture.

The Bowery // $119

The Palma // $319

Classic Canvas // $169

Riva Bag // $149

The Bossi Bag // $159

Camera Inserts // $55

(this way you can add them to your favourite purse)

Now we have no excuse to not bring our camera everywhere we go, with so much choice it will be difficult to choose just one bag.

Beginning of the Summer Haul

I did some shopping this summer and bought some statement clothing pieces!

 I bought this Jean shirt from H&M it was $24.95. It is a basic clothing item that I can integrate in my closet easily!

Aritzia is one of my favourite stores! It also helps that it is Canadian! I had bought Bright pink shorts for $32 that are extremely comfortable. I purchased a black zipper bralette bandeau for $20 that I could wear under sheer shirts or with alone with high waisted bottoms. I had bought a Striped long sleeve for $32 as well. This item can be worn with literally anything! All of the items at Aritzia were on sale!

I bought this Coral blazer with purple lining for $80 from Zara. I had first laid my eyes on it while in New York but later bought it back home in Toronto! This blazer will be used as a colour blocking piece or will act as an accent to my outfits.

At Zara i had also purchased a tropical dress for $35. It stands out and is perfect for a night out! I am in love with maxi skirts and thought this black maxi skirts would be worn in all the different seasons! I purchased it for $25. All of the items were on sale!

Until next time!
