Weekender

Joe's Jeans shirt and pants. JustFab heels. Chloe & Isabel earrings. Samantha Wills necklaces. Nixon watch.

Given I'm no style expert when it comes to pants, I spare myself the stress and probable outfit faux pas by having a nice, invested collection of button ups on hand. I was so fixated on chambray at one point in time, that I've nearly collected at least 20 chambray shirts in different washes and cuts of subtle variance, so that I'm always wearing a Canadian tuxedo. It's not until now I'm keenly aware in adding shirts of other pretty colors like this pink striped shirt from Joe's Jeans, that goes so well with these soft and comfortable weekender pants from the same collection. 

Relaxed yet polished, just what I'm going for.

Hype

Three of Something dress. Julie Vos bracelets.  Verameat bone ring. CC Skye x Jewelmint ring.  JustFab heels. Warby Parker sunglasses.

Maybe you've noticed and maybe you agree - Three of Something is one of my beloved brands ever that has graced my closet. They're coming at you from the land down under, where more of my favorite designers hail from (is there something in the water there..?). Three of Something gives fast fashion a whole different meaning by delivering a new collection almost monthly and every. collection. kills. How they come up with such striking prints while keeping to fresh, feminine silhouettes can be explained by nothing less than creative brilliance and a youthful heart. They're absolutely my go-to brand for everything fun that I'm looking for this summer.

Sand Haven

O'Neill top and bottom. CRAP sunglasses.

The beach has been my happy place lately and happy now sounds like the most understated word. The beach is more like my haven where my mind can just let go of my 99 problems and freely count the waves that come crashing in and gaze the sun as it steadily dips below the horizon. As plans come about to move to LA, looking at these pictures and thinking of going to the beach again today makes me wonder why I'd ever leave this.

Downtown Streets

J Brand dress via The Dreslyn. Jerome Dreyfuss clutch via The Dreslyn. Grey City boots. Nixon watch. Samantha Wills necklace.

Downtown LA is one of my favorite places to continue discovering, because the coolest spots are just popping up out of nowhere. Kyle and I were cooling down after a blazing hot, but relaxing rooftop event for the Los Angeles Fashion Council collections presentation and we decided to duck into this low-key bar restaurant that had wide, open windows that allowed for a refreshing breeze and a chic bar that said they knew how to make drinks. I fell in love with its menu for its cheeky "haute couture" cocktails such as The Balenciaga or The Lagerfeld, which was so appropriate for the restaurant's location in Fashion District. It's called Pattern Bar if you want to check it out :)

I'm just glad I picked this little white dress from The Dreslyn to wear that day because it helped me survive the ball of fire that was LA in the most stylish way.

Coach x SheFinds

First look: Line & Dot coat. Chaser shirt. James Jeans pants. Samantha Wills bangles. Coach Lexey heels.
Second look: LAST NIGHT dress. Chloe & Isabel earrings. Coach Lexey heels.

Just looking at that coat makes me even hotter in this 90ยบ weather we're having, but nonetheless the few times I got to wear it during our winter was sweet. I partnered with SheFinds and Coach to bring you a Winter and Spring look styled around these beautiful, metallic Lexey heels from Coach's new Spring collection, just in time for these limboing hot and cool days. 

Check out my tips on styling these versatile Coach heels in the full feature on SheFinds here!
