WEEKEND SNAPS + AN AFTERNOON WALK

When life gets a little too busy, the only logical thing to do is grab my man & head out for an afternoon of blissful nothingness: sip delicious mocha coffees, stare up at the soft light coming through the tress and enjoy the quiet. How do you guys like to decompress?! ♥

Haha, oh my gosh, look at that face!! Hope your day is a great one, friends! xo

LOOK BOOK: MUSTARD + A POP OF NEON PINK

It's safe to say, I love my mustard skirt! I've already worn it several times on the blog, which you can peek at here & here! I find the colour to be really versatile and I'm hoping to wear it again with a lovely mint cami + a mint statement necklace this summer. What's your favourite mustard pairing?! I'd love to get some more ideas!

As for this past weekend?! It was pretty great! I visited with two local & super lovely bloggers, Cee and Leonie, for a mid-afternoon clothing swap. Then on Sunday, Martin and I headed out for a tasty breakfast, took our dog Scout down to the ocean, and kicked back at our local pub. The weather was pretty glorious and we spent our day shamelessly soaking it all in!

WEEKEND OUTFIT INSPIRATION

Hello! Hope everyone's enjoying a wonderful Sunday! Thought I'd pop in super quick and share my current outfit crush. How cute is this summery number?! I can't wait to add several of these pieces to my own closet!

Left to right: 1. Dress 2. Blazer 3. Straw Tote 4. Strappy Sandals

LOOK BOOK: STRIPED TEE'S + ERRANDS

It's funny how sometimes I feel a little sheepish posting my super casual looks, but nevertheless I'm forging forward & keeping it real! Here's what I wore just the other day for an afternoon of errands and neigbourhood loafing. What about you guys, do you like seeing and or showing more relaxed looks on your own blogs?!

I've been loving stripes on stripes! I'd also love to pair this tee with a bold vertical striped skirt - how cute would that be?! I recently developed a double pattern crush after seeing my blogging pal Tieka wearing two types of polka dots - such a fun & fabulous idea! On that note, hope your weekend is a great one, guys. Martin & I are off to Iona beach, and I'll be swapping clothes on Saturday with my fellow blogging lovelies!! xo
