beige daze.

haven't quite mastered this angle just yet...

i've been wanting to do more "outfit of the day" posts but i literally wear the exact same thing every day of the winter.
i kid you not - sweaters, leggings, jeans, socks and boots.
rinse and repeat.

but since the weather in toronto is finally warming up, i've finally been able to switch up my wardrobe a bit.
i've also been listening to a lot of bob marley but i digress.

here is an outfit i wore the other day and thought i'd share :)

sweater - old navy; pants - h & m; shoes - aldo

my "i have no idea what i'm doing" pose.

 my "princess assistant" wanted to show off her ootd as well, smh.

winter wonderland

you know that old saying "when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade"?

well, mother nature gave us this ice storm, so my sisters (minus chellie) and i decided to take full advantage and have a little photoshoot. 

here are some of the shots i loved:

hope you're all having an amazing weekend!

:)

i risked my life for a sweater (black friday)

a tad dramatic but let me explain *kevin hart voice*

i try my best to avoid any stores that are having major sales as:
a) i hate line-ups
b) the smalls are always the first to go anyways
c) i fear being trampled

however, seeing how friday was "black friday" and i was already in the downtown core, i decided to give it a go.
now, "black friday" is a fairly new concept to canadians - our day to go buck-wild at shopping centers is boxing day (december 26th).
but in an attempt to keep us on this side of the border, merchants in canada have started to have "black friday" sales like their american counterparts.

after class, i headed to the mall and immediately left after seeing the crowd of people.
i opted to visit a department store called the bay located across from the mall instead.
and that is where i scored what is now my new favorite sweater:

(grainiest photo ever)

sweater - hbc; tank & jeans - forever 21; boots - aldo

standard mirror selfie

i also clearly discovered the mirrorgram app on my iphone.

speaking of iphones, this happened:

my craving self just had to get a quesadilla on my way home.

as soon as it fell, i knew it was a wrap.

i was so mad, i didn't even order my quesadilla.

first world problem.

did any of you guys venture out on black friday?

give me your clothes (second edition)

the star of this edition of "give me your clothes" is my "favorite" kardashian, kourtney.

i can't lie...i've been known to keep up with the kardashians here and there.

although khloe's oneliners have me dying of laughter, i've always been a fan of kourtney's style.

whether she's gracing a red carpet or running errands, girl knows how to dress.

here are some of my favorite looks kourtney has worn:

and, let us not forget kourtney's best accessory, scott disick...

any kardashian fans out there?

if so, who's your fave?

i'm curious, haha.

give me your clothes! (first edition)

like many girls out there, i often look to celebrities for some style-spiration.

i actually have a folder on my computer dedicated strictly to outfits i love and hope to one day emulate.

i kid you not...

anyways, i thought i would take this quasi obsession and start a series i've since entitled "give me your clothes!"

basically, i'm going to "shout out" girls whose wardrobes i'd be willing to take if ever given the chance.

the star of this edition of gmyc is reality star turned fashion designer, lauren conrad.

i've been a fan of lauren and her style since she starred on MTV's laguna beach (team lc, holla)

one thing that's always gravitated me to lauren was her classic feminine style. 

from her signature winged eye liner to skinny jeans, girl knows how to dress for any situation.

here are some of my favorite lauren looks: 

**all collages made by me on photovisi

who are some of your style icons?

i'd love to hear!

:)
