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

Friday Faves (it’s been awhile!)

Jumpsuit (from Marshalls – similar here) | Bag It’s been a HOT minute since I’ve done a Friday faves blog post! I love sharing all my interests with you guys (and I hope you like it too). So I decided to bring back one of my favorite blog posts to write! Maybe I’ll do it once a month so I can round up everything I’ve been loving. So let’s go! Friday Faves – What I’ve been loving lately: This workout right here! SO good! I love the personal trainer here too. He’s so good at keeping up the energy, he’s funny and I’ve learned a lot doing a few of his videos! His workout is definitely worth the try if you want to challenge yourself and feel the burn! I’ve been changing up where I’ve been shopping lately and obviously need to share it with you guys! Firstly, Marshalls contemporary section is so good you guys!! I got this Lucy Paris jumpsuit that I’m wearing above there. I’ve also been loving Revolve, Mura Boutique and F21 (which I haven’t shopped at for a while). Believe it or not, lately, my favorite dinners have been from Hello Fresh! If you haven’t tried it, DO IT! I did a campaign for them a few weeks ago and fell in love. Qais and I loved it so much we ordered 4 more dinners for next week. Plus, use my code ‘HELLOSHERIFF‘ for 3 FREE plates if you’re a new customer! I’ve been loving…

5 Midi Dresses You Need for Spring

Dress (sold out similar here)| Shoes | Purse (similar) Midi dress season is OFFICIALLY here and I am so into it this year! There are SO many good styles this season and I literally want to buy them all. Like every. Single. Dress. Just being honest! Okay, so I know midis can be a hit or a miss. If you’re on the shorter side I get you may be scared to try this style. My tip would be, pair a midi dress with some killer high heels. Elongate those legs and rock the midi dress! It’s such a great length and looks so classy. In my opinion! I’ve also been into a deep V cut lately. Which is so unlike me. And if you’ve been following me for awhile you definitely already know that. I decided to try a sexier neckline and think it can be tastefully done! The deep V neckline brings all the warm weather vibes. And after our harsh Canadian Winter, I need all the warm weather vibes I can get! #truth Anyways, here are my fave 5 midi dresses that I’m dying to add to cart at the moment: 5 Midi Dresses You Need for Spring: Mura Boutique Revolve Forever 21 Asos Free People xo Lauren

Crop Top Season

Top | Jeans | Shoes (similar) | Purse Happy Monday, babes! Finally saying hello from a warm AND sunny Toronto (yay!). I feel like this has been the longest Winter ever and I am SO excited to bust out all of my Spring and Summer clothes. If we have one more cold day here in Toronto I don’t know what I’ll do. I mean I’ve already put away all my Winter stuff. So Spring better be staying! This season I am planning on wearing a tooooon of crop tops. I’ve been crazy about crop tops this season. I love the look of a distressed pair of jeans and a cute crop top to boot. It’s just so simple and cute. Plus, it’s screams warm weather and after such a long Winter, I want all my looks to scream warm weather. I bought this Jurassic Park tee from Forever 21 cause my hubby is so obsessed with the movie and wants to see the new one, so it reminded me of him! 🙂 I, for one, am all about the 90’s Jurassic Park movies. I’m not a huge fan of the new ones! It’s just not the same. Just saying… Anyways I’ll be shopping all the crop tops for Spring and can’t wait to show you guys and style them all! What’s your fave way to wear crop tops? xo Lauren

3 Classics You Need for Spring

Top | Trousers (similar) | Belt | Bag (similar) | Shoes Hey, lovelies! Things over here have been busy and a bit disorienting lately! You know when you travel and come back and take a million years to catch up on life. Well, that’s me right now! My blog posts are disorganized. And my plan for creating content is basically non-existent. But, I promise to get back on track soon! Anyways, Toronto has *finally* warmed up! After, what felt like, an incredibly long Winter. So, I’ve been slowly starting to shop for all things Spring. As a self-proclaimed basic babe, I love adding staples and classics to my wardrobe. You can never have too many classics and you can never wear classics too much. So, here are my go-to classics for Spring: 3 Classics You Need for Spring: Stripes Show me someone who doesn’t think stripes are a classic! I mean really, no matter your age or style, stripes are ALWAYS a good idea! I personally love making my stripes sophisticated, if you will, by wearing them with crisp white trousers or a crisp white jean skirt. It just freshens up the classic stripes and adds a trendy flare! I love black and white stripes personally but navy and white are great for transitioning into the Summer with. Either way, adding a few stripes to your wardrobe is definitely a good idea! Lightweight Trousers A pair of lightweight trousers for Spring is everythaaang! Trousers aren’t just for the office. They’re…

Currently Crushing On: Tularosa Label

Cardigan | Skirt | Bodysuit | Boots | Choker | Necklace | Purse | Sunglasses Happy Monday loves! I’ve recently fallen in love with a brand and I can’t get enough! It’s been a long while since I’ve found a label that I’ve fallen head over heels for. But, that dry spell is done and I have been CRUSHING on Tularosa. If you’ve never heard of Tularosa before, you can thank me later, lol! Tularosa is a vintage-inspired collection with a lot of textures, embroidery and just really well-made pieces. Their sweaters are fantastic and are SO warm and cozy. This pink cardi has been a style staple of mine all Winter long. I’ve worn it with jeans, shorts, dresses and travelling. And even though all it’s wear, it’s hasn’t pilled or had any signs of heavy use! The skirt I’m wearing is also Tularosa and is SO good! I haven’t been into really girly and fun pieces for a while. But when I saw this skirt I knew I needed it for Spring/Summer. It just reminds me of palm trees and warm weather. Which are two things Toronto definitely doesn’t have, lol! If you love quality pieces, that are fun, well made and staples for your closet. Check out Tularosa HERE. SO many good pieces you’ll love. I pinky promise! Thanks to Revolve for collaborating with me on this post! xo Lauren

Top 5 Statement Boots

Dress | Top (60% off) | Boots c/o | Purse I donut know what I would do without a cute pair of booties! But seriously, I don’t. I am a bootie girl through and through. And I honestly usually only gravitate towards solid colour boots. Like black and white. BUT, these silver mesh booties are seriously major and a definite must-have for Spring! Usually, when Spring rolls around I try to wear only sandals. This year though, booties with mini dresses are my thang! And hellooooo statement booties! I’m planning on adding a bunch of show-stopper booties in my Spring wardrobe. These beauties are by Raye from Revolve. I actually got them for Revolve Festival and didn’t realize how much wear I’d get out of them after! I’ve seriously worn these babies non-stop and with everything! I love how good they look with a pair of cropped jeans too! So let’s get on with it, shall we? Here are my top 5 statement boots… Top 5 Statement Boots: Raye Asos Kristin Cavallari Marc Fisher Steve Madden xo Lauren

Currently Crushing On: Platform Sneakers

Jacket | Top | Pants | Shoes (similar) | Purse (similar) K guys, here we go again! My latest and newest obsession; the platform sneaker! I meaaaaan, they are the mix of comfort, style and height (major win, right?!). If you haven’t seen the platform kick yet, well hello, here she is! It’s got the 90’s Spice Girl vibes written all over it. And I am totally digging it! Not going to lie. I wasn’t sure if I was into this trend. But, I saw these babies on sale in the mall and really badly needed a new pair of sneakers. So I tried them on and fell completely head over heels for them! They are SO comfy and go with everythaaaang. Like seriously, everything! Plus, if you’re not a heels girl but want the height. Well, here ya go. The perfect combo of height and practicality! Now I just need to figure out how to keep them white, lol. I’d love to link the ones I’m wearing above but for some reason can’t remember the shoe store I bought these in! So I’ve linked a few faves of mine below! My Favourite Platform Sneakers: Puma Steve Madden Chloe Converse xo Lauren
