{Style} My Fair Lilac...

With the weather heating up (and let's not forget my overall disdain for being too warm), dressing has proven particularly challenging as of late. Seriously though, I don't know what to wear to work let alone in public when temperatures spike, which is problematic not only as a fashion blogger, but as a fellow human being who, you know, cares about norms and conventions and whatnot. Exhausting. That's why I was ecstatic when things cooled down juuuust enough for the ol' pants to come out, which — let's face it — are my sartorial happy place... Now let's just hope that Mother Nature reads my blog and decides to cut me some slack over the next two months.

{Style} Purple Pop...

Purple is my new jam, because no matter what I seem to do, it's always creeping into my wardrobe via pants, a new blazer and even jewelry (win your own Les Arts Plastiques necklace here!). This isn't normally my favourite colour, but for whatever reason I seem to be all about it this season. Another thing I'm all about lately? Translucent bags. I found this one on Etsy, and since my DIY skills weren't quite up to the challenge, I ordered two... Hey, when you find yourself a good thing, you don't mess. xx

{Style} Weekend Wear...

My mister and I had a delightful trip to the art gallery this weekend, complete with shots of espresso and pastries that were promptly dropped on the cold, cement floor. What ensued was about 10 minutes of me trying to convince him not to eat said floor danish, culminating in my having to physically remove the contaminated pastry from the vicinity... Let's just say Mr. AiF really, really likes his sweets.

And speaking of sweet, take a look at this adorable vintage crossbody I rediscovered in my closet! I bought it many moons ago during a particularly fruitful thrifting sesh, but somehow space case over here forgot all about it... Typical. It may not hold much (no need to test that assumption like in this post), but it sure is cute! xx
