Spring Things

Floral pussybow blouse, Zara

In a winter world you have to get your Spring fix somewhere. For me, it's these lovely bright & pastel pieces, purchased on my last day in Vancouver.

A pastel yellow mini satchel, H&M 
Multi-colour statement necklace, Zara
Pastel purple trousers from H&M which I love to pieces! Skinny bottoms with zipper detail too :) 
And this straight-cut pocket detail which I adore as well!
There was another item bought with this set, a pretty cream & gold bangle from H&M. It's currently missing in action sadly. I figured it might simply be lost in the depths of my multiple suitcases, but I was rather disheartened after today's unpacking marathon. I've still a couple cases to go through, so fingers crossed it shows up. 

So those are my lovely new Spring items! Now my only challenge is to incorporate these pretty pastels & florals into a winter appropriate look which also keeps me warm. As long as the gorgeous sunshine continues to cooperate I'll be getting in a photo shoot tomorrow, so stay tuned :)

***One last camera-related note: Many of you have asked me about the camera I generally use. Prior to my last post (aka Vancouver time) all my photos have been taken with a Nikon D7000 (which I love to pieces). For the next couple of months I'll be borrowing my Mom's Canon Rebel T2i. Admittedly I'm a Nikon girl & I have a bit of an aversion to this new Canon; however I do have a tonne of lenses to play with, so it should be a great learning experience none the less!

Shine Like A New Pin

I know, I know - finally a new post! My apologies for the absence; not only have I been working every day, but also had a touch of sore throat. Thankfully after a few mediocre days, the sun came out today & my positivity along with it. I headed out early for a morning of shopping & was delighted over the light & leaves. There is something I love so much about the quietness of even large cities in the morning. Suffice it to say, it was a great start to a pretty lovely day.


My main mission was to rummage through the American Apparel Warehouse Sale at Convention Centre. If any of you are in Vancouver, I definitely suggest checking it out! I was a little disappointed not to find any maxi skirts or bodysuits I had been coveting, but there were a lot of great deals on the basic items that AA is famous for.  I guess attending the sale this morning put me in the mood because my 'Look of the Day' skirt, bodysuit, & shirt are all AA pieces (the navy micromesh shirt being one of my warehouse sale purchases):


Kittens on my feet! :)


How lovely is this? :)  


I was wearing:
Navy micro-mesh button down - American Apparel
White lace bodysuit - American Apparel
White accordion pleat maxi - American Apparel
Cat Tapestry Lita's - Jeffrey Campbell
Beaded bib necklace - Forever 21
Blue box bag - Asos

I'm off to bed now, but expect a lookbook post tomorrow; as well as a post of all my lovely new purchases! Goodnight :)
