The Platrane Boot
So the past week/weekend has been a whirlwind. For those of you who don’t know, I work for a non-profit organization and was whisked away to Edmonton Canada to assist during a large conference, hence for the lack of posting. Unfortunately we had a “uniform” to wear throughout my stay so I have been itching to get back into the blogging game. This is a quick post of my back-to-work outfit featuring my Jeffrey Campbell Platrane Boots. I can’t wait for fall, I am already preparing for high collared tops, navy blues, forest greens with some pastels mixed in.
I also picked up this new pair of RAEN Optics sunnies after my favorite pair broke on me 😦 I must say they are really great quality and I love the rounded shape! Be sure to check out all of their rad pairs.
Cheers!

Baby Blues
Denim is never out of style, however, we are breaking the barriers of the “Canadian Tux” and piling on the blues to exponential heights. I found this denim blazer at the Melrose Trading Post awhile back and have found it is the perfect fit to pair with a cute above the knee dress. “Girly” and “Boyfriend” fits are perfectly balanced with just the right amount of leg showing to offset the heavy top half of my body. I wanted to give off the illusion of all denim so I threw on my ASOS cotton dress that has a worn denim look.
I paired this outfit with dark accessories like my Brandy Melville beanie and Zara lunch bag purse to give some additional edge. I picture this outfit strolling along the New York City streets for a day filled with meetings and overpriced lunches.

Criss Cross Cropped
I would like to take a few minutes to discuss the amazing job that PacSun is doing in rebranding their stores. Their “Golden State of Mind” marketing campaign has brought them back to their roots as a California based retailer with heavy southern California beach babe vibes (for girls at least). Finally they have transitioned from graphic tees and into trendy cut and sew pieces for women. They were incredibly smart to capitalize on Kendall and Kylie Jenner as well, two young girls who are not only influential for their better known siblings (the Kardashians) but also for their modeling and fashion influence on the young girls/women in America. I picked up this cropped top on sale from their last collection. It fits incredibly well and is the perfect price point for young girls working on a weekly allowance (part of PacSuns target audience). I paired them with my thrifted high waisted Levis shorts and Platrane Jeffrey Campbell boots. A true hot California weekend look. Nothing better than throwing on some majorly distressed shorts and a cropped top. My signature outfit when the temp turns up.

Jersey Monochrome
I have styled this mesh jersey top from H&M in an earlier posting but decided to take a different route today to show it’s versatility. In my previous post I paired this jersey with some high waisted shorts and DC tennies, taking the jersey somewhat literally as we also shot the pictures on a baseball field. This jersey trend isn’t just for the ballpark however, today I transitioned the top into a chic and somewhat professional look for work. These black high waisted denim jeans from Urban Outfitters was one of my better purchases last year. The dark wash allows them to be disguised as “dressy” for work but when paired with a cropped top you can easily slip into a more casual overtone.
Accessories are what finish off this look. Gold, gold and well…more gold. Gold accessories are my favorite when I’m pushing a monochrome look. Adding a gold chain to a jersey top helps us understand why football players and baseball players wear those ridiculous gold chains around their necks, because it really does play off the jersey quite well. Maybe it is just the ridiculous notion that athletes make millions of dollars by throwing balls at one another but hey, it’s entertaining right?

Tropical Vacation Attire: Evening Wear
With Summer rapidly approaching I’m sure many of you are preparing for at least one vacation getaway set in a sunny spot. Whether you are taking a weekend trip to Palm Springs or heading over the pacific to Hawaii, shopping and packing for evening wear is probably the hardest thing I’ve come across. We all know what to bring to a hot destination: shorts, tank tops and bikinis. But what about when your heading out for a night on the town? It seems silly to get overdressed for your hotel’s Luau but you don’t want to wear your bikini at the dinner table. I found all clothing and accessory items here from Zara and Mango (aside from the Gladiator Jeffrey Campbell Sandals). Floral prints, whites, and pops of shimmer and color are keys to keeping yourself looking relaxed yet polished.
Vacation Staples:
Printed Shorts – perfect to pair with your baggy tanks and tees you packed for the beach.
Boyfriend Jeans – keeps you looking casual and laid back but polished when paired with statement jewelry and silver sandals.
Infamous Gladiator Heel – Let’s be honest, Alexander Wang did us all a favor when these came out, luckily Jeffrey Campbell provides you with a more price pleasing alternative.
White Blouses – Perfect for those humid destinations, it keeps you protected from the sun and heat while maintaining your poise.
The best part about all of these pieces is that they can be mixed in with your daily wear. ALways remember the most important rule for vacations… don’t overpack!
Stay-Cation: Hawaiian Floral Prints
And when we all thought floral prints were out. I absolutely love the “Tommy Bahama” prints that have been circulating as of late. I have always been a huge fan of Hawaiian t-shirts (maybe because I am part Hawaiian?) and the automatic feeling of laying out on a beach when your wearing them. I get the same vibe from this skirt I purchased from Cotton On. Seemed to also match the 90 degree weather for the day. Time to plan a trip to somewhere tropic I’d say.

Lace Tracks
I scrounged up this top a few weeks ago after losing it in one of my drawers. It is such a treat to find gems like this in your own closet! I purchased it for a steal at H&M after being inspired by an image on Tumblr of a beautiful lace camisole. It is almost identical to the one I am wearing here. I decided to pair my new sporty tube socks from American Apparel with a more feminine touch of lace that can be found both in my camisole and my kimono. Hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day weekend!

May the 4th Be With You
This past weekend I celebrated May 4th, also known as Star Wars day, with my Blackmilk leggings and Ewok backpack. Even better, it was also free comic book day! Nerds unite!

UNIF Vapor Moto
It’s been a couple weeks since I’ve posted anything, I have been extremely busy with my job, just finishing our annual Global Training Conference which had almost 15,000 people in attendance! The entire week I was bound to black slacks, tennis shoes and T-Shirts, not the greatest uniform, I almost went crazy wearing the same outfit multiple days in a row! As a treat to myself for working roughly 68 hours I purchased my Unif Vapor Moto Jacket. This is such a great piece, while it does feel a little odd when you first put it on you quickly get used to the material. I would however not recommend wearing it on a hot and or sunny day, the material does not breathe very easily. This jacket is perfect to throw over a body-con dress in the evening to spice up your outfit!
Have a great week!
