REFLECTIVE CYAN.

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 ;)

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 ;)

OVERJOYED.

I genuinely believe I was the happiest human on planet Earth today.

Dreams seriously do come true- it was so sunny today that I could tan outside, wear a t-shirt and not freeze! I decided to highlight a new trend I see becoming very popular now: the plaid shirt tied around the waist. The 3.1 Phillip Lim version is absolutely beautiful, but nonetheless can be recreated for a fraction of the cost by tying a vintage shirt over a black body-con skirt! This week is going to be absolutely amazing: I'm walking in the FW13 Mikhael Kale show, and will definitely be blogging all about his beautiful new collection. 

See you soon (probably in a parka next time...)

STRIPED.

Another post coming to you at 2:30 in the morning ;) 

#studentlife, well no, actually.. #procrastinatorlife 

Nonetheless, this concludes the series of 3 outfits that my wonderful friend Julia filmed and photographed for me, and tomorrow I'm out to film 4 more with my mom. Thing is, she doesn't know how to use a DSLR camera haha so this should be interesting! Oh oh oh, I drove myself to the dentist yesterday! I'm so proud! I didn't drive back though because the dentist used anesthesia on me, and I swear I swallowed it or something because I felt very loopy. Can anyone explain why I get 5 cavities every year? I know people who don't even brush their teeth every day but have no problems. Sigh.

See you tomorrow! :)

OCTOBER.

October is my favorite month of the year.

 I think it's because it's always the most memorable one- in a good way. Four years ago I had the craziest October of my life, and every single one after that has been filled with fun nights, and bad (more like weird) decisions that made damn good stories. 

The goal of every October, as usual is to go to every social outing possible. That's more of a challenge actually, for a hermit like yours truly. Second, I want to upload videos like crazy :) Third, I want to know how to drive and park fluently. Last, finish philosophy. 

There are a billion pictures and videos to come your way soon, so get ready :)

By the way, thank you Julia for your photography today, you honestly take the best pictures. Happy birthday and but' zdrarovey kracavitca ;) ♥ Love you forever.

Should I get this dress? It's a new arrival at Nasty Gal and is 30% off right now! You likey?

SIMPLEST OF ALL.

Blue jeans, white shirt.. walked into the room you know you made my eyes burn;)  I threw this together without thinking but I thought it looked cool enough to take some pictures.. I'd take the classic "terrace pictures", but it was pouring rain all day!These are still my favorite jeans, and I think I love wearing them so much because people always give me looks as if I got attacked by a rabid animal and can't be bothered to buy new jeans haha

PARTY IN THE BACK.

Hello there! 

I absolutely love waking up to the rain, hitting snooze and not even bothering to worry about "wasting time" or "but I need to be somewhere". Ah, the homeschool life. So I worked on these pictures for a few hours for you guys! I naturally gravitate towards things that look unusual: shredding, weird fabrics, and studs on just about anything is my jam. Every part of this outfit is in some way unusual, although it looks very simple from far away. I still can't get over the fact that I bought these Seven For all Mankind jeans for $5 (thanks Anat!)... I should have probably worn them on another day though, my legs were burning in the heat haha

I wore my Brandy Melville Chiyo Top so that the cool design in the back could be seen! To be honest I only bought this shirt to go with the bra... smart shopping I know haha

My friend Julia and I went to Joey Don Mills, a really nice restaurant in Toronto, and of course, considering the salads were over $16... we got the side salads hahaha 

It was delicious though .. while it lasted ... for 2 minutes LOL

DOWN TO EARTH.

Striped tank top: Brandy Melville / Burgundy maxi skirt: Brandy Melville 

Hello my lovelies!

Today I'm biking with my friend Julia to a beautiful park and just enjoying the outdoors and getting away from the city. Maybe while we're there we'll get smoothies and walk around... desperately trying to see what's open on labour day haha

Of course, outfit shoots are in the works! Have a beautiful day and don't forget to smile =)

xo.

BLACK ONYX.

Hey guys! 

So... random post today, I know, but why not? I think it's pretty interesting! I bought these two belly button rings online at bodycandy.com and thought they were gorgeous in person! It's so so so much cheaper to buy this stuff online, and I got free shipping (yay!).

I put the black onyx ring in today.. well actually I went to a professional piercer to get it changed because I have a phobia of inserting jewelry into my belly button.. weird I know.
This is what it looks like, in my stomach (gosh this sounds weird haha).
I actually love it because since it's black, you can tell that I have my belly button pierced, whereas the typical gems sometimes become invisible!


Side story: My belly button took about 8 months to stop oozing, hurting, and being a pain in the ass. I will say though, it was so worth it. It makes me happy throughout the day to know I have it, and that's all that matters! It's so pretty and I've wanted it done since I was 13 :)



Dinner at Fresh today!
I have to be honest, I've never been impressed with their food. It comes in a quantity too small for a five year old, and is way overpriced. Most importantly, the flavours suck. It's usually like 5 pieces of steamed broccoli mixed in with some grilled tofu (BASIC!) and that's a $15  "meal" right there. I got the raw italian pasta and had to ask them to re-do it because they put waaaaay too much pesto.. it was like drowning in oil. Mind you, I'm never picky with food and even if I'm not over the moon with something, I won't ask them to fix it.. but with this, it was torture to eat. I swear it's the last time I return. BOO FRESH! Gimme ma money back. Kidding, lol.






Tomorrow I think I'm going to the lake with my mom, so I plan on taking some outfit pictures for you guys! I want to wear my maxi skirt that I got today at Brandy Melville, which finally opened in Toronto!
See you soon! xo

FRILLS AND BEADS.

Hey everyone!

Here's the outfit I wore yesterday, when I wasn't at the pool of course :)

The dress is from Free People, the rings are from Brandy Melville, my rhinestone sandals are Topshop, and of course I have my Ray-Ban wayfarers. 

I'm off to get a manicure now, because my shellac is probably mid-nail right now haha

Have a great saturday!
