REFLECTIVE CYAN.

Top: ASOS.com / Sweater: Brandy Melville (similar) / Shorts: Levis vintage / Sandals: Forever 21 / Sunglasses: Ray-Ban Aviators / Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs 

When I bought this crop top/bandeau/it kind of looks like a shower cap, I had NO idea how to wear it. It was on sale at ASOS.com for something like $8, and I knew I had to make it work somehow. 
Ta da! 
I love pieces like this; I mean sure you won't wear it everyday, but when you do wear it you feel daring and confident in yourself. Thank you to the sizzling Italian sun for permitting this outfit choice, and also thank you for allowing such amazing strawberries to grow! Seriously- Italian strawberries are to die for!
Now that I'm back to the metropolitan city of Toronto now, I'll be ditching the belly tops and diving straight for the silk tanks. That is, after I can ditch the jet lag and get out of bed ;)

POSITANO.



Dress: Choies.com / Purse: Alexander Wang 'Kirsten' / Flats: Chanel / Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs / Bracelet: Hermes

Positano Positano, I'm sure you've seen pictures of the beautiful town on Pinterest, Tumblr, Facebook, you name it. It's pretty much known for being a colourful city built along the Amalfi Coast mountains. I remember reblogging a picture from Tumblr 4 or so years ago, and being infatuated with how magical a place could be. If you walk down the streets you'll mostly find custom sandal shops, giant lemons for sale, and gelato shops. Sounds like the summer of my dreams :) I wore my new cut-out dress that seemed to catch the attention of a lot of people, probably because it brings cut-outs and uneven seams to a whole new level! Paired with an edgy purse, and Chanel flats (because I had sandal blisters haha), I was ready to- well- to be honest- slip multiple times because Chanel flats and rocky mountains don't mix well together! I've learned my lesson though! ;)

BREEZES ON CAPRI.



One of the things I was most looking forward to during my trip to Amalfi was definitely visiting Capri, a highly coveted island to the west of the Amalfi coast.
We took a boat tour that showed us all around the coast, and then as we got into Capri we saw the grotto, and other countless caves filled with crystal-clear turquoise water. To be honest though, I was very excited to visit Capri because it has a reputation of luxury, and I'm drawn to all things unattainable and unrealistic. I popped into several shops, and decided to buy a souvenir that I've wanted forever (proof here): my first Hermès piece, a white and gold 'Clic H' bangle! After curbing my bruschetta craving and wandering around the lush gardens, we headed back to Amalfi. 
Let me just add: I'm freaking obsessed with this skirt. You have to try one on for yourself to see how amazing it feels to be covered yet still expose the perfect amount of skin. It's like wearing a blanket but still looking good ;)

ON THE MOUNTAINS OF AMALFI.


Truth be told, I'm actually supposed to be at my high school graduation ceremony right now- but due to a last minute change of plans, I'm wearing my grad dress in Amalfi, Italy! Not complaining, like, at all. Within a short few hours of being here I was flooded with a sea of questions. How are there trees growing on rocky mountains? How cool must it be too live on top of a cave? Why are the lemons so big?
Amalfi is definitely an incredible coast to visit, although honestly I can't wait to spend a day in Rome- one of my favorite cities I've ever visited. I'm a city girl, all the way. Even California couldn't do it for me. 
In other news, I didn't have the brains to plan my outfits prior to the trip, so I have 17kg worth of clothing in my luggage, which only means lots and lots of blog posts!
Enjoy! ;) haha

SODA POP.

  1. Denim vest and shorts. Alexander Wang Kirsten Purse. Ray-Ban Wayfarers. Marc by Marc Jacobs watch.  
 Sometimes it's just appropriate to throw on a terribly 90's ensemble; it can set the mood for rummaging the streets with friends, which let's be honest, we all do on a daily basis. If you must know, I wore this ensemble to the pet store! 
All jokes aside I'm really starting to fall in love with things like rompers, dresses, and matching tops and bottoms because they are just so simple to work with! 
It's a no brainer! Buy a statement romper and dress and you don't really need to worry about styling!
This next week is going to be absolutly mad: I'm shooting with an amazing photographer, attending high school prom, leaving to italy for 10 days, oh and yea... turning 18!
