{Christmas Week} Playing Dress-Up

Dress- SheInside | leather jacket- Zara | heels c/o Forever 21 | clutch- Michael Kors | necklace- Zara | ring- Saint Laurent | bangles- J.Crew


I love a good conversation starter, so to kick off another theme week (yay, Christmas!), I thought it would be fun to feature this battle-scene dress as a holiday option.... because why wouldn't you sport violent scenes from antiquity on Christmas? My thoughts exactly. So should you find yourself at a holiday fete where you don't know anyone, a dress like this should help break the ice. And if that doesn't work, just ask people what their favourite herb is � it works every. single. time. xx

{Style} Spots & Stripes...

It's been depressingly cold here in Edmonton lately, so I decided to rebel against the oppressive temperatures by putting together a fun, "printy" little outfit (albeit under layers of outerwear, but still). Stripes and navy always remind me of spring, so by wearing them today I symbolically told winter to take a hike... And I'm pretty sure the pop of leopard speaks for itself. Boom.

Happy weekending, friends! xx

The Gossip Girl...

What do you think of when you look at this coat? Do images of Serena and Blair kicking it on the upper east side come to mind? Well they certainly do for me, and I'm guessing that they do for Sheinside, because they named it the Gossip Girl Double Button Coat. Coincidence? I think not.

I was so excited when it arrived in the mail last week, because not only was it a perfect fit, but the style was exactly what was missing from my life... It's just the right amount of preppy meets nautical, am I right?

And as if that weren't enough, Sheinside offered to give you guys 20% off any order from now until May 30 when you use the promo code "vickie20" at checkout! Not too shabby, huh? Thanks, Sheinside! xx
