Sweatshirts have quickly become my go-to for fall, yet despite my ever-growing collection, I just can't get enough... It's a sickness, I tell ya. And speaking of sickness, I'm feeling particularly healthy this week after loading up on supplements and an immunity pack... Now let's just hope that the snow (yes, we have snow now) and lack of sleep don't do me in. xx

{Halloween Week} Studded Cat Ears

Wednesday, October 30, 2013

 photo CatEarsHeadband_zps463ae8ac.jpg
This week's Halloween-inspired Wardrobe Wednesday is all about the cat ears... More specifically, this studded cat ear headband that I picked up on a whim at Forever 21 many moons ago. Naturally I had no use for it until this very week, but it's precisely that kind of dedication towards "rainy day shopping" (aka- The I may need this someday approach) that keeps this blog populated with content, but that's an issue for another day.

Not only can this headband (coupled with this makeup tutorial) save the day during a particularly busy Halloween season (testify!), but it's pretty darn cute draped over mirrors and side tables (how I justify frivolous purchases). If you're looking for a last minute costume, look no further, and if you feel like getting your craft-on, check out this easy DIY — Happy Halloween Eve!

Sleep-ins, coffee in bed and telling that nagging little voice in your head that you should be at work to take a hike — Man I love long weekend Mondays! So here's to everyone having the loveliest of days, including tasty treats, quality time with loved ones and some much-needed fun in the sun! xx

{DIY} AiF for Boohoo Studded Top...

When Boohoo offered to team up on a fun t-shirt DIY, I was beyond excited — Not only do I love the brand (this shirt is beyond cozy), but you know I'm always down for a little DIY action. The kit they sent over included all kinds of goodies — like puffy paint and jumbo rhinestones — but since I'm on a "less is more" kick these days, I opted for some subtle studding instead. The result? A shirt I'll be rocking for years to come.

Pssst! Did you know that Boohoo offers free shipping on all orders over $25? They're also waving duty charges over the next few days, which — as my fellow Canadians can attest — always makes a huge difference... xx

{Style} Black Magic...

Don't let the title of this post fool you — It's all rainbows and sunshine over here on AiF...  Or if you prefer, rhinestones and polka dots. Either way, there's no black magic to speak of, so if anyone asks, that's my story and I'm sticking to it... xx

Well, I did it... I finally caved and bought a Kenzo tiger sweatshirt because, well, it kind of felt like my last chance. They're just so hard to track down right now (I've long given up on finding a green one) that I couldn't help but scoop one up when I found one on Jonathan + Olivia last week... Now it's all happy dances and tiger-induced smiles for this girl.

Happy Friday, amigas! xx

Shop the Trend: Studded Details

Friday, April 12, 2013

I’ve been seeing the Valentino Rockstud Pump everywhere, and I love how the studs make the shoe cool and sexy at the same time.


It’s the perfect mix of girly and cool, so I’ve been looking for stud details on other items to get the same look:
(1) Vince Camuto – Tamma Flat - The scalloped details on this flat make them super girly, and then the studs edge them up a bit. I’d wear them with jeans and a cute top for the perfect weekend look.
(2) TopShop – Millicent Stud Boots - I’ve been looking for some neutral-colored ankle boots to wear with dresses and shorts during the summer. The studs on these are subtle and they’re really affordable!
(3) Steve Madden – Graanite Flat- A friend of mine has these loafers and they are super cute in person. They’re definitely a glamorous version of the loafer trend.
(4) Zara – Studded Flat Sandal - These are a cool take on a gladiator sandal. They’re a lot edgier, and I would wear them with a sweet dress during the summer to get that girly and cool look.
I have a slight crush on these shoes.  I'm obsessed with pointy pumps and I LOVE nude pumps like nobody's business.  Love the stud detail and that they went with the same color studs instead of a contrast which I think makes them a bit more classier.

(1) Asos – Oasis Studded Scalloped DressScallops and studs seem to be a great combination. I love the color of this dress, and I think you could easily wear it during the day or at night.  
(2) Asos – Only Floral Denim Shirt This floral top is a cute take on a chambray top. I don’t have a floral denim top yet, and the studs on the collar are a cute detail.
(3)  Asos – A Wear Studded Edge to Edge Cardigan  The studs on this cardigan are subtle, but make it really stand out.  I could imagine wearing this during the summer with a cute dress.
(4) Forever 21 - Studded Peter Pan Collar I've been wearing a lot of peter pan collars lately.  I find that they look great on their own but also adds a different element when worn underneath a sweater or cardigan with just the collar peeking out.

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

{Valentine's Week} The Pants...

As I write this, I'm slowly coming down from a sugar-induced Valentine's day high (you don't even want to know how many macarons I've had today!), where lethargy and writers block are apparently the main side effects. Mr. AiF surprised me with some special treats, bubbly and a homecooked meal, and now I'm crashing... hard. So with that said, it's time to wrap this thing up, people!

Thanks for baring with me through all this (V-Day isn't for the faint of heart, after all), and I hope you guys have enjoyed reading these silly little posts as much as I have had creating them... Until next time, love bugs! xx

{Style} Denim on Denim...

Ladies and gentlemen, it is with great please that I present to you my very first denim on denim experience... Thank you, thank you. Now I know this is nothing new to many of you — and probably a source of contention to many more of you — but I am now officially on board the Canadian tuxedo express. I don't know what took me so long, but I'm feeling this look and in a big way. I guess you can take the Canadian girl out of her mixed denims, but you can't take said denims out of the Canadian girl... Or something like that. xx
