So a couple of days ago, I decided to visit the Art Gallery of Ontario. It's weird how I've lived here for most of my life and haven't been to half of the city's tourist attractions. Yet I've wandered every inch of the Met and did about every other thing you can do in the city that never sleeps. Same goes for a lot of other places I've visited. Consequently, I pushed myself to get to know my home a little bit better before I fly off to the other side of the world, yet again.

June: New Arrivals

Wow, this month totally flew by. June was amazing and it was a great start to summer. I had the chance to catch up with a lot of old friends, embark on a few road trips and of course, shop! It's sale season after all, and I've scored amazing deals at some of my favourite stores this month. Especially at aritzia's summer sale, J. Crew's 30% off and VS's semi-annual.

Happy summer babes! In honour of patio lunches and Starbucks runs, here's an easy outfit idea for all your day-time errands. I'm a huge fan of neon all year round but it can be a little too overwhelming on a day-to-day basis. A great way to subtly incorporate the trend into your outfit, is by adding bright details to a monochromatic colour scheme. Don't get me wrong, most days I still feel like dressing up as a highlighter. But in this case, simplicity is key.

Prom: What to Bring?

Alright, so it's that time of the year again: prom season. Everyone's in a frenzy for last minute dress alterations, hair and make up appointments. But a lot of the time, we tend to overlook the smallest details. Such as what we actually need to stuff into our cute - but micro sized - clutches on the night of. Here's my personal take on the bare minimal you'll need to survive the night:

Spring Clothing Rack

Vest - Thrifted

Muscle Tee - Brandy Melville

Tank - Brandy Melville

 It's finally time to put away the cable knits and coats, making room for a new spring wardrobe. I love the simplicity that accompanies warm weather. Layering can get tiresome after six months in the Canadian winter and frankly, it's time consuming. These are some of my key pieces for this season, mainly composed of high waisted bottoms and lightweight tops.
