If you are subscribed to my YouTube channel (I put out new videos every week), you have already seen this video.  If not, today I'm sharing my Italy haul! 

These are the items I purchased during our two-week long trip to Italy back in April.  It's a mixture of clothing, shoes and the biggest purchase: my first designer bag.  I did, however, forget to include these slides (you can see me wearing them here) when I was rounding up all my items--oops!
As usual, thanks for watching! xo

SCARF  |  H&M DRESS - OLD (SIMILAR, SIMILARLOVE THIS ONE)  |  TANK WORN AS A SKIRT  |  WEDGES  |  SUNGLASSES

I have had this dress for years and since there are various panels in different fabrics on it, it's sheer in some areas so I used a longer tank to act as a skirt underneath and tied the straps together below the bust (that 'bump' was hidden by the scarf).



O U T F I T   D E E T S :  SUZY SHIER PRINTED TOP - OLD (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS)  |  WAXED PANTS (LOVE THESE, COLOURED)  |  LACE-UP HEELS ON SALE  |  BAG  |  SUNGLASSES (BUDGET FRIENDLY)  |  NECKLACE

Waxed pants have become a closet staple of mine over the past few years.  They add a bit of edge to a basic black pant and dress them up a little more.  Despite it being Summertime, I still rock mine--in various colours--but lighten the look up with more weather-appropriate tops and shoes.

Silk, cotton and linen are all great ways to Summer-ize your coated denim and adding a lace-up shoe like these or a similar wedge version is the perfect finishing touch.


I grew up in a fairly Type A environment.  My mom, being someone who was super organized, tidy and on top of everything, instilled some pretty awesome skills in me.  That said, I feel the switch over to the Type B side was made somewhere around my teenage years.  Somehow my room went from meticulously neat with knick-knacks adorning every surface, to a huge mess with knick-knacks exploding from every surface and piles of clothing covering every square inch of the floor.

Although my mom never liked it...


O U T F I T  D E E T S :  T-SHIRT  |  TRASHD DENIM (LOVE THESE WITH THE ANKLE ZIPS, SIMILAR)  |  ZARA HEELS (SIMILAR, SIMILARBUDGET-FRIENDY)  |  BAG (ALSO IN BLACK, BLUSH & TAN)  |  SUNGLASSES  |  NECKLACE  |  MANICURE  |  PEDICURE

The amount of distressed denim in my closet now outnumbers the regular denim but I can't help it, it's a trend I'm really loving.  I also love the juxtapose with something fancier, like these strappy heels, which ups the ante of the outfit, making it fresher and ready for a night out.

This look is great for drinks  with the girls when you want to be comfortable but edgy or if you wanted to go more casual, pair them with Chucks and an open-knit sweater, for running errands on the weekend.
