Layers are a non-negotiable this time of year, but there's no reason not to spice them up with a little print-on-print (on-print-on-print) action. For me, that means stripes, plaid, houndstooth AND leopard, but hey, that's just how I roll. And even though it may sound like a seizure-inducing hot mess on paper, the visual is far from it... Or so I like to tell myself.

Happy Monday, friends! xx

{Halloween Week} Painted Pumpkins

Why carve a pumpkin when you can paint one instead? Not to sound all 'easy way out' or anything, but painted pumpkins are not only easier than their carved counterparts, but they're oh-so pretty as well... That's why Kassie, Ashley and I decided to have a mini painting party over the weekend. There were cupcakes, pastel paints aplenty and the Monster Mash, of course. The only thing that could have made this day any better would be a screening of Ghostbusters and some Tootsie Rolls, but you can't have everything.

Happy Halloween Week! xx

{Style} In The Mix

Mixing prints is totally my jam, but my window for doing it right (aka, without the giant coat and snow boot situation) is ever closing... Now don't get me wrong, there's always opportunity to pair unlikely patterns, but when winter hits (and believe me, it hits hard here in Edmonton), you miss that effortless polish that lighter layers and pumps provide. If worn under boots, these floral pants wouldn't look half as cute (believe me, I tried), and you would totally lose the effect under my parka (shudder). So from now until the first snowfall (tomorrow?), I'm going to relish each and every opportunity to mix things up on the print front... Priorities, am I right?

{Style} Phillip Lim x Target...

Just to give you a glimpse into my life, a random lady came up to me while I was taking these photos, leaned in nice and close, and whispered: "You should stand up straight, you know." I'm sorry, but are hunchbacks not in this season? I guess I didn't get the memo. Maybe I should have fibbed and told her that I have scoliosis just to make things nice and awkward � that would have shown her. Stupid retrospect.

Well at least I have this spotted Phillip Lim for Target skirt to keep me (and my hunch) warm at night, right? Sigh.

{Style} Army + Navy...

Sometimes a girl has to switch things up, and for me, that meant smacking a military-inspired jacket ("army") with a little nautical stripe action ("navy"). Another good way to switch things up is with a new handbag (*ahem*) which in my experience is the greatest of ways to feel shiny and new again... But in the interest of not getting into (more) trouble with the finance, I'll just leave it at that (but seriously, eeeeeek!!!).

In other news, it's Friday, which means only one more sleep until the Edmonton Blogger Sale (woot!) and two more sleeps until Phillip Lim for Target day (double woot!)... The weekend is looking awfully bright, my friends. xx

{Summer Week} The Sun Dress...

 
Who's ready for another theme week? Since I'm always talking about how I can't wait for fall, I figured I should stop and enjoy summer while I still can, so voila! A new theme week was born. First up, the sun dress. All you need are some stripes, pastels and cute cutout detailing, and you've got yourselves the all the makings of a summertime staple... Too bad this is the first time I've worn this dress since buying it a month ago, but I digress � As is the case with theme weeks, better late than never, right?

I've got a lot of fun, summer-fueled posts lined up for you guys this week, so be sure to check back every day to see what's in store... Happy Monday! xx
