Stripes for Spring

Top (similar) | Shorts (similar) | Shoes (similar) All the humpday vibes in this Spring look! Pretty sure this is my #springuniform and I am totally loving it. Stripes, high waisted shorts, and a cute wide brim hat! Yessss, please! I mean, you can’t go wrong with stripes either. Am I right? And red for me is new too, but I was feeling a bit of a change! If you need to add some fun pieces to your Spring wardrobe then add some crops. Trust me! I’ve never been a crop top fan until very recently. Now I feel like I’ve been missing out for so long, lol. This red stripe number is from F21 and so easy, breezy to wear. I paired it with my fave throwback 90’s jeans from Urban Outfitters. Which you DEFINITELY need for Spring and Summer. Trust me, again! They are forgiving (perfect for brunch), comfy and flattering! I love easy looks that look so effortless. And this look is definitely that! I say, have some fun in this warm weather and show a little skin gf! Why not! xo Lauren SaveSaveSaveSave SaveSave

Major Must Have: Kick Flare Jeans for Spring

Jeans (under $100)| Top (c/o) | Shoes (similar) | Purse | Hat OK, I once again found a new style that I am head over heels about! So if you’ve been following me for awhile, you’ll know I never used to be into jeans. Like not at all. I used to spend most Winter’s wearing skirts and tights. I literally stayed far, far away from jeans. As I started blogging, I really learned what I love in a pair of jeans. Firstly, I love quality in jeans. A good pair of jeans that will last wear after wear and wash after wash. I also love light wash jeans more than dark. And I love trying new styles of jeans. I also learned that all jeans fit differently and just because you’re one size in a certain pair of jeans, it doesn’t mean you’ll be the same size across the board! Which seems common knowledge, but I didn’t know that lol! So onto my new obsession. These kick flare jeans are SO good guys, like SO good! I’ve been a fan of Urban Outfitter’s BDG denim since last Summer! The quality and the fit are amazing for the price point. Now I’m trying to figure out what I keep buying Zara jeans, lol. Anyways, these kick flare jeans from BDG are killing it in fit and comfort. These babies are so lightweight and stretchy. And they are SO on trend right now, which is always a big win! I sized up from…

Favourite T-Shirt of the Season

Top: Urban Outfitters (similar here and here) | Skirt: Ruche (similar) | Shoes: Aldo (on sale!) | Purse: Old Navy | Sunglasses: Forever 21 (similar) I am definitely not a super casual girl! The only time you’ll find me in a tee and yoga pants is when I’m walking my dogs or running to the grocery store after work. I just am a huge lover of dressing up and putting on a cute pair of heels! That being said, I do believe in having a few cute tee’s to mix in with your skirts or shorts! This tee here is basically my only “good” t-shirt to be honest that I wear with everything! I just can never bring myself to buy more than one t-shirt at a time really, I know, super weird! Anyways, this is actually a peplum tee, which is what I love most about it! And it is seriously the comfiest and most stylish tee that goes with basically everything. One of my favourite outfits that I wear on repeat is this tee, my fave pair of white jeans, a pair of sandals and this hat here! It makes the easiest and most effortless look imaginable. I also love how this t-shirt washes (amazing!). It hold’s its shape and just keeps on getting softer and softer with every wash! I got it a few months back and it’s just making it to the blog now, but I’ll link similar. Verdict: even if you aren’t a t-shirt girl like me, you…

My Favourite Jean Shorts EVER!!

Top: Forever 21 (similar here) | Duster: Zara (similar here) | Shorts: Urban Outfitters (under $60!) | Shoes: Vince (on sale!!) | Hat: H&M | Purse: H&M | Sunglasses: Aldo (similar here) | Necklace: Baublebar Happy hump day! Today Qais and I are enjoying our mini getaway at the cottage. We are only gone for 3 days but sometimes a mini vacation is better then none! I wore this outfit on Monday strolling through the city because I was DYING to wear these new shorts I just snagged last weekend from Urban Outfitters. But first I need to tell you about these Vince shoes I snagged from Winners! These shoes are my new babies that originally retail for $500+ and I got them for only $59! So crazy right? I have been looking for the perfect block heel strappy sandals and these are it! They are made from real suede and the heels are real wood. I’ve linked the cheapest I could find above which is under $200! Secondly, these jean shorts are life! I have been looking for light wash high waisted jean shorts that would give me all the 90’s feels. The fit is beyond amazing and they are under $60 so you can’t go wrong. They fit true to size and have the perfect butt coverage (I hate when butt cheeks show when wearing shorts, lol!). Basically, these shorts and these Vince sandals are going to be on major repeat all season long! I totally vouch for…

Must Have: The Perfect Crop Sweater (under $50!)

Sweater: Silence & Noise | Jacket: Missguided | Skirt: H&M (old – similar here & here) | Boots: Marc Fisher (ON SALE HERE!!) | Purse: BP (sold out – similar here) | Sunglasses: Shades Crush (only $10!) | Necklace: Bauble Bar Happy Tuesday! I’m sorry I haven’t posted in forever, but the last few weeks have been super busy and I haven’t had a chance to put together some looks. As many of you know, it can be really hard juggling a full-time job and being a blogger on the side. You really have to prioritize certain things which means that other projects get pushed behind. If you didn’t already know, I have my own business which is obviously my full-time job. I own a infant and children’s clothing store (which is why I was away in New York last weekend). So being a business owner and trying to grow and run a blog can be really overwhelming at times, and really difficult. But I should be able to catch-up by next week and be back on my regular posting schedule on my blog and on my Instagram! But I do have a few new looks for you this week! As Spring slowly starts to creep in, I’ve decided to bring out a little more of my whites. I can’t resist wearing white all season long and was so excited that the weather was warm enough for this skirt! This skirt is one of my most favourite I have ever bought…
