Happy Holidays!

Sorry for the long hiatus! I’ve been working everyday and on my days off there has been no sun to take pictures! Hope everyone’s holidays have been full of laughter and love.

Lace on lace! And I absolutely love the little stars that are scattered across the blouse, topped off with a bow tie. Best of all, I got the shirt on sale! You can’t quite see it in this light but I’m wearing 5 inch suede wedges that are AMAZING. They give me the extra height without the pain, and pretty much go with every outfit. Trench coat from Japan, blouse from Jacob, skirt by Tulle with ring from Plenty, tights from the states, wedges and purse from Aldo

I hope you’re all as stuffed and full like I am from Christmas! My sister made five different types of cookies so that was my breakfast for today and I’m off to my boyfriend’s house for round two of omnomnom-ing!

Academia

My boyfriend takes my photos for me, and he always gets me to laugh when I look serious. I really hate ‘posing’ and ‘looking natural’ because I’m really bad at it and I have naturally awful posture. Regardless, this outfit is an outfit for school, hence the flats!

This necklace is the closest thing I have to a ‘statement’ piece, and it always garners some compliments. I’ve been in dire need of flats and I absolutely LOVE these leopard print flats.

Blazer from Aritzia, shirt from Paris, necklace was my great aunt’s, pants from Zara, skinny belt was my dad’s, flats from Aldo, satchel from Peru.

My trip to Peru was… not the greatest. But at least I got this great leather satchel! It’s the type of leather that you know is just going to look better with age, and it ups the ante from the typical backpack for school.

Lingering

My style posts lately have been quite a bit more feminine so I thought I`d balance it out a little with a bit of a rougher look. Of course, this outfit too is balanced in soft and hard with the floral tights and oversized men`s shirt, respectively.

Finals season is upon us and so the posts might be a little light as I`ve taken up another job too help alleviate the financial (happy) burden of Christmas.

I love the weathered look of these boots. They`re the perfect solution to make your outfit a touch grungier.

Click on the last photo to see the enlarged version; you can see North Vancouver and all the details. Beautiful.

Shirt was my dad`s, random belts, floral tights from somewhere in the states, random touque, Zara ankle boots.
