Photo dump

Summer has been wonderful these past few weeks and I've been trying to spend as much time outside as possible. I took two friends vintage shopping last weekend and the weekend before. These vintage suitcases were lined up outside a shop in Kensington Market, and below these shorts were found at USED on Queen West (a very cool new store over there, awesome jean shorts and button up shirts). Spent some time on a patio (nothing beats sangria on a warm day), attended a few BBQs, and just generally tried to stay outside as much as possible. So here are some photos that I will let do the talking.

Two outfits, one post

 I've been a little slow on the outfit posts lately. Mostly I just haven't felt that inspired. Not that these outfits are particularly great, but I felt good on both of these days. Contrary to how it may seem, I don't wear these shoes everyday. They are comfortable enough to, but I do switch it up!

 I also really dig this hairstyle for summer. I braided two pigtails, and then pinned them across my head. Looks so much cooler than what it really is, and I always get comments about it when I wear it like this. Plus, I like being able to put it up and then not having to deal with it all day. Low no maintenance is my style.

 I love these shoes!

Hope you all had a happy Monday!

I realize that my first outfit post is a super casual one, but this is the sort of stuff I wear on a day to day basis! I wore this to an appointment and to laze around on this rainy, rainy day. The jeans are a little baggier than I'm used to, but I love them for being so comfy. I also realized how difficult it is to take your own pictures! I know a lot of the more well known bloggers have boyfriend accomplices who take their photos. While I did see mine today, I asked my brother to take this picture (which explains the downward angle of the shot. He's 6'3!)

The lipstick I'm wearing is Nars Matte Lip Pencil in Dolce Vita. I am absolutely in love with both the colour and feel of this lipstick. Didn't understand the hype until I bought it! The necklace is a gift from a friend and I absolutely love it. It's one of those unique gifts that really shows how well the person knows you, and the fact that I can so easily incorporate it into my warddrobe shoes how well she knows me. I also just got the shoes, and they are giving me some serious blisters, but they go so well with everything that I'm going to just deal with it for now!

Have a great week!
