Day 4 of NYFW was spent exploring Chelsea Market with Allie, then meeting up with Sarah for a lil shopping before a few shows. Afterward, we grabbed some delicious Japanese food, I honestly wish I remembered what it was called because it was mega yammy!!

I ended up shooting these photos when I came back to Toronto since a. it started to rain midday while in nyc and b. since it was raining, I had to adjust a few pieces of my outfit to make it weather appropriate (i.e. sneaks and a backpack to carry my jacket). This outfit is from Yours Clothing, I'm wearing the Black High Waisted Jeans with Ripped Knees paired with this adorable Lilac High Neck Ribbed Sleeveless Top, I accessorized with my cute abstract bag from ASOS, and some jewelry from Charlotte Russe.

Fall is just around the corner and although I'm sad to say goodbye to Summer, I'm beyond thrilled to start layering, pull out my trusty boots and wear all the cute warm coats. While I was doing a little pre-Fall browsing on ASOS, I stumbled upon this adorable classic borg denim jacket, I instantly had to create a perfect fall look and included a wrap over tee, ripped jeans, cute statement necklace, backpack. Of course these classic 1460 smooth Dr Martens complete the look, and they're available at Union Jack Boots. These are all currently sitting in my cart and I'm hoping to get myself a few new early birthday presents. ;) Anything you're currently lusting over for the Fall?

Iridescence

I know I seriously always talk about the weather but, I kid you not, it is all I can think about. The weather's been really iffy lately, one day it's -16 the next day it's 8 degrees. I'm definitely getting sick due to the constant fluctuating. Good news though - it's going to be in the positives (and supposedly stay there) after the weekend!!! After hearing the good news and despite it being an extremely cold day still, I ended up getting decked out in some of my fave iridescent pieces! What can I say? It definitely brightens my mood and gets me amped for ~*real*~ 100% Spring weather.

I picked up this lovely sequin top I missed out on from ASOS from Assa of My Curves and Curls at the last Big Deal Toronto and I'm seriously in love with it. The moment I saw it while running clothes back from the change rooms I knew it had to be mine! I paired it with my new fave jeans from Charlotte Russe Plus (I kid you not I've worn these practically every third day since getting them, they're just sooo comfy and easy to throw on), iridescent clutch from New Look, sandals from Missguided, and my Mama (grandma) vintage pearl necklace.

What do you do to cheer yourself up from weather woes? Any go to pieces that will automatically perk you up???

Spring is just around the corner with Charlotte Russe+!

I wandered into Charlotte Russe for the first time when I was about 13, it was my first time visiting the states and I was stoked to go shopping with my aunt. I remember instantly being enamoured by all the jewellery, and I was pleasantly surprised at how inexpensive it was. My aunt and I ended up spending at least a good hour shopping and trying on clothes. Needless to say, my first visit to Charlotte Russe went extremely well. 

Growing up, I found that fewer and fewer items could fit me. Don’t get me wrong, Charlotte Russe has always been a stop on my states shopping trips but typically, I would stick with jewellery, shoes, and accessories. I did manage to pick up a few key pieces (remember a size on a tag does not mean it can’t fit, always try things on!), including my absolute favourite pink peter pan collar shirt which I wore in my first ever public post!

You can bet I was stoked when Tanya from Charlotte Russe got in touch to ask if I’d like to be a part of the Plus launch! I instantly started imagining all the fun clothes they would inevitably have! The best part is, the price point!!!  As you all know, I’m a huuuge deals/sales kinda gal. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely splurge on amazing pieces but, I LOVE my steals!!! Charlotte Russe has always been a steals store for me, I mean c’mon they're currently having a jeans/shorts buy 1 get 1 for $10!

For my first look, I chose the border print chiffon maxi tank top which I definitely could have sized down in but, love nonetheless. I played around with it and figured I also liked it tied to the side. Cannot wait to wear it with shorts in the summer!  I paired it with the refuge skin tight legging jeans, elastic slingback platform sandals, belted architectural backpack and these mirrored aviator sunnies! It was really fun having the tank breeze with the wind and I love all the pieces separate and together! On a side note, it wasn't absolutely freezing today and it gave me high hopes that Spring really is just around the corner!

What are your thoughts on Charlotte Russe+? I know I have my eye on a few pieces! Anything you must have?
