GUYS! MY FIRST "OOTD" EVER! i hate that i had to take the pictures in my kitchen... but that had the best natural light... sorry about that. i'll eventually find a better back drop. and please pay no mind to my no makeup face/wild hair. 

this outfit has been my go-to lately, if i'm in a rush or going shopping. it's extremely comfortable, and still kind of looks like you made some effort -without actually having to-. i'm always wearing this scarf/hat combo because in the winters here in canada you can't not have warm accessories, plus it pulls together an outfit nicely. and who knew you can wear navy and black TOGETHER now... ?! i love that a colour combination like that wasn't even allowed a few years ago, and now it's starting to become a trend. 

hope you all are having a great weekend ! xoxoxo

USA SHOPPING TRIP

hello again everyone, yesterday my parents and I decided to go to North Dakota for the night for a little get away before my holidays are over and I have to get back to reality. I always look forward to going to the USA because they often have a lot that we Canadians unfortunately do not have *sigh*. In this first few pictures I have a few of the items that purchased at various different places. 

- Hawaiian pattern elastic skirt from Macy's : Tommy Hilfiger $41.00

-mustard yellow fox purse from Target : $24.99

-navy polka dot slip on flats from the GAP : $7.99 

I've been trying to buy pieces that I wouldn't normally go for, I want more girly skirts and accessories. 

- Pink hedgehog sweater from Target : $22.99

- navy polka dot lace up shoes from the GAP : $11.99

the GAP had a lot of end of season sales right now, I was thoroughly impressed. I don't have a lot of shoes so I thought at those prices I'd be crazy not to buy them. And as for the hedgehog sweater... It obviously was a must. It's so adorable.

Disney tank tops from Wet Seal : $18.50 for one or buy one get one 50% off. 

For obviously reasons I got two of these. I love my Disney movies more than anything. I'm happy I bought them.

- Oxford type shoes in tan from Gordman's : $34.99

- blush pink and black hair bows from Wet Seal : $4.00 

I loved these shoes the minute I saw them. They'd be great to go with anything really. They're also very comfortable. Usually I can never find anything at Gordman's but I had some luck yesterday. And finally I decided to buy some cheeky bows for my hair. I love girly accessories and now that I got my hair newly cut I'm going to make use of the bows. 

All in all I had a nice little successful get away. I spent more than I should but I figured it was worth it :) love you all.

RIVER ISLAND | new purchases

today i decided to look on riverisland.com and came across a couple cute dresses. i can't even describe my love for dresses in the spring/summer. they are super easy, and you just throw it on with a pair of cute flats and handbag, sunglasses and some bracelets and you're ready to go out the door. i'm a fan of outfits that don't require a whole lot of preparations/thinking to be involved. i absolutely love the red ditsy print tea dress, i just think it's the cutest thing. red is my favorite colour and the collar is so adorable. it kind of reminds me of a doll dress. this one is $25.00. the other one i found is only $12.00 on sale. it is a navy polka dot contrast panel skater dress. i thought this one would be very flattering because of the white contrast polka dots on the sides. it will narrow in your waist which is the smallest part of your body. what do you guys think of these two dresses?!
