Outfit of the Day: Pattern Mixing


Hey guys!

How's it going? I know this outfit is a bit ... doesn't really make sense when Toronto is already in full-winter mode with the cold freezing winds and the 2 cm snow. But it will make sense when I inform you these photos were taken about two weeks ago and I completely forgot to post them up. This outfit is something I've worn to school, so kept it real casual. For school I love wearing stripes, florals, polka dots, plaid which in my opinion are classic patterns and can never go wrong and are great to wear for school. I found this floral skirt in my drawer and realized I haven't got the chance to wear it yet so I was like why not. Admittedly, this outfit is not super creative and out there but it's school and I really don't want to bust out my fedora hat and a fringe vest and go all out. The minimal creativity element was mixing the floral with a striped bandeau top instead of the expected black or white shirt/sweater. And oh my god, before I finish this post I just watched Mocking Jay Part 1 and it was amazing and you should go watch it very soon! Jennifer Lawerence's acting was phenomenal and I definitely it. Just warning you, there's going to be a huge cliff-hanger and you'll be dying to know what happens next, but of course  if you're curious you can always read the Hunger Game Series by Suzanne Collins. Anyways here's the look :)

Outfit of the Day: Timeless Stripes



Hey lovelies!

So my life pretty much is sleep, eat, study, study, sleep, and repeat. I totally apologize ahead of time for future posts that may include my rants about university. Not to mention the very least I've been staring at Latvian data for the longest time to find some kind of trend (which I obviously didn't)... I learned quite a bit of Latvian from the assignment and learned to write pointless gibberish over the span of 8 pages. I am glad I got that over with, since I felt like pulling my hair out constantly. But whatever, it's a brand new week now and I got new assignments to worry about, alas the life of a typical university student.

Anyways on to the more exciting part of my blog post, the outfit. So it's Monday, back to school after a nice long weekend, I pretty much seek for comfort. And this striped dress I recently got was probably the best purchase ever; since it honestly feels like I'm wearing pajamas. It's a life goal, really... wearing pajamas outside and have it acceptable. This striped tee dress is over-sized, soft and very comfortable to be in. I just paired the dress with a bunch of long necklaces, tied a denim shirt around my waist and wore my sneakers. All of the pieces I have incorporated to the outfit are timeless and you really can't go wrong wearing stripes, denim shirt or Converse sneakers any time of the year. Well I will see all of you guys in the next post. And on a final note, just wanted to give you guys a heads up that I will be posting a YouTube video very soon and will definitely update you guys about that soon. :)

Outfit of the Day: Dark Fall


Hey lovelies!

I am beyond stuffed! And if you are not from Canada, then you probably have no idea what I'm talking about. Well in Canada we are celebrating Thanksgiving Day! An amazing day where you have no school, work, nothing but just plain relaxing and eating great food. This outfit was photographed from yesterday... so I didn't wear this for Thanksgiving, rather I am wearing my pajamas. But I did celebrate it yesterday at my boyfriend's place and yeah I know what you're thinking this outfit is too dressed up for an event like this. Underneath the jacket it's actually an over-sized striped tee so it doesn't look as busy as this outfit photographed here. Of course eating a lot I need to prepare for this by wearing an over-sized tee for Thanksgiving and wearing a high-waisted skirt to keep everything in place.

Well more or less, I was filming today for my second part of my Fall Lookbook, so I figured if I'm already putting makeup on for the Thanksgiving Dinner, I might as well film and look stylish at the dinner. A two in one, actually I do this a lot; I put on the outfit I'm going to use in my video while attending school, which CAN BE AWKWARD because I may look too dressed up for school or ... TOO bold, especially when I'm sitting beside classmates literally in their sweats and hoodies. But I film right after and  then head back to studying (the life of a university student :( ) On a positive note, I love doing this and it's actually a lot of fun and one of those little things during my busy schedule I look forward to doing.

Well I wish all of you who are celebrating today, I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving and for those of you who are not, well I hope you have a great week! :)
