Outfit of the Night

Hey everyone!
Last night was the closing ceremonies for my program! It was an amazing year and it's really bittersweet. 
I wore an orange dress from H&M, fuchsia heels from Aldo and had a flower headband from Asos. The theme for the ceremonies was ascot!

We watched performances and slideshows recapping our year. My favourite part was the disco that we had after. 
Everyone came together for the last time and danced the night away to old school music like Backstreet boys and Spice Girls the whole night! I've had an amazing time and won't forget it. Now it's time to focus and study for exams as they are next week!

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

Outfit of the Day

Hey lovelies,

Its finally the weekend! As this weekend is Easter, my brother and I came home from school for the weekend to spend some quality time with the fam jam!

Today we are taking it easy, went to church this morning and now we are all off doing our own thing. I am finishing off a paper I have due today.


Shoes || Steve Madden. Skirt || J. Crew. Top || Joe Fresh. Necklace || H&M. 
Sunglasses || Ray Bans

When I was in Miami in February, I picked up this cherry red skirt from J. Crew. Loving the pleated details, colour and its ideal length, I thought it was time to add some more skirts to my wardrobe. With the sun out shining, and the weather starting to warm up I thought it would be a perfect day to wear it. I paired it with a simple white tee (from the mens section) with the sleeves rolled up and a chunky necklace to keep the look more casual and playful. I wore my new black ankle boots from Steve Madden, which I scored online in the sale!

Here are Lilly Pulitzer dresses! She has an assortment of different dresses in different prints and colours! If you want the classic look, opt for a simple white or pastel dress.

Spring/Summer footwear

Happy Sunday!
As its starting to warm up, and the days are getting longer we need the perfect footwear to keep us going for the day. These spring trends are straight from the runways for this season. 
The perfect work day shoe is a simple twist on the classic ballet flat. Look for flats with a low side to show off more of your pedicured feet! Pointed toes, bright colours and scalloped details are fun styles to try. Adding the slingback like the J.Crew flat ensures your shoes aren't going anywhere as you run for your morning coffee!



The gladiator sandal is a chunky shoe that you can wear for your weekend day trips around the city. Making sure to maximize the amount of buckles is a must, I mean who needs a shoe that is easy to slip on and off! Play with different heel styles; flat, chunky heel or stiletto. 



This two strap heel is my favourite look of the season. A shoe that can easily be worn day or night, with pants or dresses, with a chunky heel or stiletto. Keep it simple with a strap across your toes, a closed back and a thin ankle strap. There are so many colours and prints you can look for in these shoes to help chic up your look.


So which shoe are you going to try this spring?
