Today is supposed to be 40 degrees. We don't really get that kind of heat where I'm from…I can barely handle the sun in the 20s! As a summer baby though, I love the beach; the solution to a hot day. With days like today, the beach is the only place to be! So what am I packing? 

Load up the truck and lets hit the road! A weekend spent au naturale with the bare minimum (and whatever extras I can fit in the boot!) Luckily I'm not high maintenance so I'm okay with camping and being in the woods but I actually don't have much experience with it; growing up a true west coast Canadian though, I'm all in for roughing it for a few days! The weekend should be adventure filled with fishing, swimming, campfires, and hot dogs! Since I'm a rookie, I thought I would break it down before I pack so here you go...the essentials of camping: 

Being addicted to instagram and pinterest…I spend my free time liking and sharing my dream closet. Focusing on a casual everyday look, my favourites are: Sienna Miller, Nicole Richie, Rachel Bilson, and Candice Swanepoel.  
Honourable Mention: Blake Lively, Kate Hudson, and obviously the Olsen twins. 
Hello style icons...

How good are these! These leading ladies can't go wrong. I would probably rearrange those names if I wanted a red carpet look….but when will I ever need that. 

So its a friends engagement party, and its time to get fancy! I haven't met most of the people here so it's a big deal. I guess I get to go shopping to find the perfect dress! Heres some inspiration. 

So many styles..short? summery? boho? lace? patterned? white? am i allowed to wear white? Clearly I would accessorize differently to suit the occasion but these are just some ideas of what to keep an eye out for.
I'm off to let the search begin! xx

In Aus, it's our spring time but back home I'm missing one of my favourite seasons. As happy as I am with summer around the corner, I love falling autumn leaves! On top of how beautiful B.C. gets in the fall with the bright reds, oranges, and yellows, I also miss those cozy knits, chunky boots, and stylish layers!  In honour of my autumn roots, I justified buying a new pair of black leather Verali booties. Surely I can pull them off for a couple months before summer; and even so, they look rockin' with a mini! Now snuggle up with a blanket & tea and enjoy!
