{photos by Alicia} I have to be honest and admit that ever since I wore it here, this floral skirt had been collecting dust in the back of my closet. It's really a shame, since the print on it is so gorgeous, but it just seemed a little too dressy for day to day, non-office attire. Enter a chambray shirt: one of my favourite pieces as of late, this wonderful garment seems to have the ability to make anything look more casual without sacrificing a put-together element. Tucked into the skirt, …

Fancy Flats
Maybe I'm not looking in the right places, but one of the reasons I tend to wear heels more than flats is because I find that flats typically look less interesting than their heeled counterparts.

D captured these shots last weekend, and I think it's safe to say that back-lit photos are now his specialty, don't you think?! Hope you are having a great Wednesday!On a side note, I'm …
Simply Prep
{photos by Alicia}Sometimes it's wonderful to wear an outfit that doesn't consist of complicated, flowy components (loose cardigans & a-line skirts, I'm looking at you!) and that all fit 'just so'. I'm loving this wonderfully detailed YesStyle trench that helps elevate simple combinations such as this one into something a little bit more special. I wore this out for lunch with a friend, then to take a few photos for the lovely Alicia's 4th Blog Anniversary and to run some errands - all with …
