{WW} In The Bag

Suede duffel bag- Topshop (new version) | tank- ACNE | jeans- Gap | bangles- J.Crew + Hudson's Bay | lipstick- Stila's 'Beso'

I briefly showed you guys this gem of a bag during last week's mini haul, but I just couldn't resist introducing you to her once again, and in a little more detail... I mean seriously, isn't she a beaut?! Not to get all Helen Hunt up in here, but I'm mad about you, little Topshop bag (weird reference?). In fact, I've coveted it since spotting it on Anna a while back, but since my local TS didn't seem to carry it, I came to terms with the fact that we would never be together... Long story short, I happened upon it while in Vancouver, ON SALE and waiting for me — kismet.

Now sadly this bag is sold out (I know, I'm sorry!), but fret not my friends — she has a sister! Equally cute and something of a fall counterpart, this version ain't half bad... I'm officially tempted. xx

{Bedazzled Week} The Dress

Blazer- Tahari | dress- French Connection | booties via Ordinary People | bag- Alexander Wang | hat- Topshop | ring- Michael Kors

Is there anything better than jewelled-out dresses to make a girl feel all shinny and new? Not likely. I rediscovered this dress in the depths of my closet since buying it for my birthday last summer, and pulling it out of hibernation made it feel almost new again — don't you just love when that happens? Shopping your closet can yield some pleasantly surprising results... I guess the only challenge is remembering that sometimes, huh?

Thanks for joining me for a week of bedazzled goodness/craziness, and stay tuned for your weekend reading list, up tomorrow! xx

Friday is finally here, which means Mr. AiF and I are off to a weekend in the mountains... A snowy, Christmas-themed getaway courtesy of the Edmonton Journal that encourages gorging on decadent foods and festive fun including — but not limited to — holiday crafts... Needless to say, we're pretty pumped. And if I don't succumb to a flock of feisty geese or an aggressive mink while I'm up there (hey, it happens),  I'll see you guys back here on Monday.

Happy weekending! xx

The minute I saw the Sea of Shoes x ShoeMint collaboration, I knew I had to make them mine. Like, if there were a "yoink" button on my screen (future e-commerce peeps of the world take note), that's what I would have pressed. Since arriving in the mail on Monday, I've paraded around the house in them exactly 800 times (give or take) and dreamed up a lifetime of outfits to accompany them... I'm not obsessed or anything.

Happy Thursday! xx

{Summer Week} The Bag...

Shirt- Topshop | polka dot jeans- Forever 21 | bag- DVF | necklace- J.Crew | bracelets- Forever 21, H&M + Winners

When it comes to summer attire, it doesn't get much better than pops of colour and playful motifs in the form of accessories. This bag pretty much epitomizes summer styling in my mind, what with its vibrant hue and cheeky embellishment... Just throw in some bright baubles and a great printed jean, and you've got yourself all the makings for a sweet, late summer outfit. 

 

{Details} Dotted Haze...

Remember yesterday's post about working ahead, batching and doing whatever you can to stay on top of your blog? Well this post is an example of what not to do. For instance, don't neglect to take photos ahead of time and instead force yourself to pose in the rain at 5 p.m.... Just don't do it. Oh, and if you know you're going to an event after work (Cirque de Soleil, whaaaat!), do not leave the editing and writing of your next day's post until after you get home... You know, unless you actually like staying up until 1 a.m. and being a total crankasaurus at work the next day. Seriously, don't do it.
