Going Through My Closet...

A typical Sunday afternoon for me consists of organizing all of the clothes, books, jewelry, and shoes that have been neglected on my floor throughout the busy week while sipping some Chai tea in my big San Francisco mug and listening to The Sheepdogs.





Here are a few of my favorite items I found in the piles of clothing that have been accumulating around my room:

I don't usually like leopard prints BUT I find this sweater from Zara so cute. Couldn't resist buying it!

I've always loved denim shirts, I find them very rustic Ralph Lauren Americana (which is, as all of you readers already know is my favorite style) so I obviously had to buy yet another one to add to my denim shirt collection. However, this one is different because it's shorter in length, very fitted, the sleeves are extra long, the blue is SO intense, the shape and style of the pockets are more Western, and the denim is so incredibly thick it's phenomenal. Definitely one of the best denim shirts I've ever seen!

I've been sporting this wool braided outdoor headband almost every day in this cold Canadian weather. I love how large, warm, and cozy it is and the color is so pretty and goes well with everything.

I had been wanting these gloves for so long and had my eye on them at Club Monaco for months until one day they sold out, but thankfully I went back and I guess someone returned them because there was ONE pair left and they ended up being 50% off! The most beautiful leather gloves I have ever seen, couldn't be happier!

Emerald City by Jennifer Egan is a compilation of short stories which range in topics of fashion, traveling, photography, art, love, deceit, and desire. Her writing style is pleasant and captivating making these stories highly enjoyable and inspiring. Next up is A Visit from the Goon Squad which is also written by Egen.

Sh*t I Say..

This is so embarrassing, yet also amusing that I'm guilty of saying several of these lines in both of these 'Sh*t Girls Say' videos. There are so many out there now, but these two seem to be the funniest and the ones that give me the most deja vu moments. Enjoy :)

And don't lie...I know most of you readers out there are guilty too!!

Country Chic Inspiration

I have always had a love for the preppy, country, Ivy league, Ralph Lauren, Americana-Britania-esque classic style, but at this moment it is stronger than ever and I really just cannot get enough. I have created a sort of inspiration board depicting this style and also provided a 'how to' outfit that emulates this style. Right now the thing I want so so badly in my wardrobe is a Barbour jacket. It is my dream. Might I just add how envious I am of my brother who is living in Scotland at the moment. Oh how I wish to walk through the countryside dressed in forest greens, tweeds, and worn-out brown leather *sigh*.
