Street Style: Powder Blue Fever

Vest - Zara | Sweater - Oak + Fort | Pants - UNIF

So I've decided to start a new series called #CasualFriday. I'm extremely lucky that I can sport casual wear everyday of the week. 

I thought it'd be fun to share some inspo surrounding what I would think would be most people's favourite day of the week… #FriYAY!!

Although these jeans might be a little bit too dishevelled to wear to the office, I love how they give any outfit that extra edge. I paired it with a superbly oversized sweater and my favourite powder blue vest!

I know… so much colour right?! I challenge you to try a new colour next week and let me know what you think!

Not so oversized

Blazer - old BCBG (Similar here) | Jeans - Frame Denim | Belt - Club Monaco | 

Sunglasses - Krewe du Optic from Holly Eyewear

I don't think this outfit needs too much explaining. Casual fridays sometimes don't need to be too casual! It's just as simple as throwing on a nice oversized, but STILL fitted blazer on top to balance out those insanely comfy boyfriend jeans that you bought pre-worn-in (oh yes, I buy them "worn").

These glasses add pizazz to any outfit, the mirrored orange-yellow lenses make your face pop! I mean, if these are good enough for Gigi, they are good enough for me. 

If you don't have a pair of mirrored sunnies yet, I think its time to head out to find yourself a pair … 

*hint hint* TREND ALERT!

My #1 Wardrobe Must-have for those Holiday Dinners

Jacket - Banana Republic (Vintage) (Similar here) | Shirt - Kit + Ace | Pants - Aritzia | 

Boots - Alexander Wang

It's that time of the year again! Holiday party season has arrived, which means lots and lots of food!

I absolutely adore this time of year. Everyone is in such a cheery mood, there are majestic decorations around every corner and delicious smelling candles and fireplaces lit everywhere.  

What I love the most though is all the yummy food!! I can't tell you enough about how much I love holiday dinners, but I won't actually tell you how much I eat …because let's just say its a little too much.

So it shouldn't come as a surprise when I tell you that the number one staple in my holiday party wardrobe would be a perfect pair of stretchy pants!

These Daria Leggings from Aritzia are just about the best things to have happened to my closet. They provide the perfect amount of stretch, but also hug your legs enough to give you that support to "keep everything in".

This look above is a classic outfit that I would wear to a casual holiday gathering with some old friends. I love that it can be appropriate for a cozy intimate restaurant setting or something a little more lavish/modern. Oh, how I love minimalist simplicity (#lessisreallymore).

Hope you are all enjoying or will enjoy the holiday parties this season!
