Skorts and Puffy Sleeves

Top | Skort | Purse Happy Monday! Today’s blog is going to be short and sweet. Cause boy, getting ready to move and renovate is NO small task! Whew! But, I just had to share this look from Revolve. Which is, hands down, my FAVOURITE look of the entire Summer. I’ve been dying to get my hands on a puffy blouse like this and now I finally own one. And this skort is just so cute and comfortable to wear. Totally in love! xo Lauren

Girly

Dress | Sneakers (similar) | Purse I’ve never been into really girly items, to be honest. But when I saw this cute polka dot dress from Nasty Gal for 50% off I had to try it! Its super lightweight, flattering and SO cute with a pair of white kicks! I also wore it with heels for date night and it was super chic. The perfect versatile Summer dress in my opinion! I’ve never ordered from Nasty Gal before, but have to say, it was a good experience. Super fast shipping and a ton of cute, affordable items! I also snagged a really cute pair of jean shorts, which I’ll show you guys soon! xo Lauren

Currently Crushing On: Oversized Shirts

Top (it’s actually a dress) | Skirt | Sandals | Purse Happy Friday, babes! Lately, I’ve been in a pretty casual mood. Which is super rare for me, I know! Maybe it’s the hot weather. Or maybe my style is changing? All I know is I’ve been living in effortless and casual looks! A recent fave of mine is the oversized shirt. It’s so loose and comfy. Plus, it’s been keeping me SO cool in this super hot weather. I’m also a huge fan of the half tuck. So chic. And, if you guy’s haven’t noticed, I’ve been SO into colors too. I don’t know what has become of me, lol! Of course, this shirt is from Zara! Zara literally never fails to impress cause even this white skirt is from there too! I linked them both above. 🙂 Have a great weekend!! xo Lauren SaveSave

4 Easy Tips You Need to Shop at Boohoo

Top (sold out – similar) | Blazer (50% off) | Skirt I am a big believer in buying trendy threads at cheap prices! When it comes to super trendy pieces, I LOVE shopping at places like Boohoo. They literally always have 50% off  (for real) and they offer a massive selection of pieces. Because I’m a lover of trendy pieces for cheap I wanted to share 4 easy ways to shop Boohoo’s crazy selection like a pro! 4 Easy Tips You Need to Shop at Boohoo: 1. Know all the measurements: Just like shopping at any other online retailer, it’s important to know your measurements. Make sure to take measurements of your waist, hips, bust and keep them written down close to your computer. Then, when you find a piece you love you can make an informed decision on what size to purchase by using Boohoo’s size chart. Also, keep in mind Boohoo is a UK retailer and has the UK sizes listed on each product. Be sure to cross-check the size chart and find what your UK size is by finding your US size. I’m generally a size 8 UK and a size Small and 6 US, for reference. 2. Shop Boohoo’s category “Get the Look” Whenever I’m casually browsing Boohoo, but want to make sure I snag something trendy, I always shop under the category “Get the Look”. Boohoo has made online shopping super easy by categorizing what’s really trendy at the moment.  Currently, under that category, they…

OTS Top and Frills

Top (50% off!) | Shorts (50% off!) | Sandals | Purse Guys, if it was last year at this time, you wouldn’t catch me in shorts! You honestly wouldn’t even catch me in frills! I don’t know what is going on but my love for shorts this season is REAL! And I’ve been digging these ruffle pair from Boohoo, which are now 50% off. I’ve just been so into experimenting with my style this year. After just over a year of blogging, I’ve definitely become more open to trying new styles. Now I am definitely not saying I’m taking risks with fashion by any means, lol! But I am so excited to just try new things. Like shorts! Seriously, shorts and I have never been friends until this Summer. And I have to say I am totally about them! I also snagged this off the shoulder top from Boohoo for 50% off. Now it’s super cute and screams Summer. But the fit is a little wonky! I’m not sure if it’s maybe because I bought too big of a size. But I would suggest ordering your size in hopes it won’t constantly slip down like mine, lol! Talking about sales. Today is the first day the Nordstrom is public! I’m not a cardholder so I’m going to brave going to Nordstrom and hoping to snag a few styles! Happy Friday! xo Lauren

Dress | Shoes | Earrings (similar) Happy Humpday! Is this Summer blowing by for you guys?! I can’t believe we’re already in mid-July! This Summer totally needs to sloooooow the heck down! Maybe it’s because Qais and I have been getting ready for our move to the city! 🙂 We are SO excited to renovate and decorate. And I’m super excited to share the process with you guys! It’s gonna be fun to live it and blog about it!! It’s been so humid in Toronto so I’ve been living in shorts every day. Which is weird for me since I’ve never been a huge shorts person! But I just snagged this chambray dress at Zara and I wore it 3 times last week! For real, lol. I’m totally obsessed with how flattering it is. AND it’s so lightweight, which is perfect for this weather! So basically, you need this dress. It’s so cute for basically anything! I wore it for date night with my knit mules and fringe earrings! xo Lauren

Real Talk: Condos, Struggling with Inspo + Blog Changes

Top | Shorts | Shoes (similar) Happy Monday, guys! I have sat staring at my monitor for a good hour, trying to figure out what to blog about. There has been so much happening in my life lately. And I’ve been unsure about what to share and what not to share. I debated making an entire post about this look, which honestly, I don’t have much to say about lol! I mean it’s one of my favorite looks lately. But, it’s kind of boring to read an entire post about why this look is my favorite. So, that being said I decided to start a new blog series. And become more open and raw with you guys! I mean, I personally LOVE blogger updates. So why not share some stuff and make a blog series about it, right? The Life Edit: Condos, Struggling with Inspo + Blog Changes: Okay, life has been cray-cray here are the Sheriff’s house. SO many big changes. Here’s the lo-down: 1. We bought a condo in the city! And we are EXCITED! Toronto is a hot market for real estate. So to own real estate in Toronto is a big deal. And we feel beyond blessed and really excited! Well, I was excited at first but then got a major strike of anxiety for the past week. We bought a penthouse on level 35, which has a beautiful view of Toronto. That is of course amazing. But my anxiety got the best of me and…

My Go-To Summer Look w/ Marshalls

Dress (c/o Marshalls similar here and here) | Sandals | Purse (similar) Toronto has been hit with a SCORCHING hot heatwave this week which calls for the least amount of clothes possible, lol. But for real, when it get’s hot I love wearing easy and lightweight basics to get me through the day. Nothing is better than a lightweight t-shirt dress to keep my literally and figuratively cool! 😉 In the Summer, I am a huge sucker for basic dresses (no surprise there!) and a cute pair of heels. As a self-proclaimed heels girl, I totally swear by them for basically every outfit! My Summer hack to look put together is a t-shirt dress, espadrilles, and wavy beach hair. Seriously a never fail combo! And my summer go-to for the BEST selection of easy-breezy Summer dresses is Marshalls. I snagged so many CUTE basic t-shirt dresses from Marshalls that I’ve worn non-stop. Plus, all of them were under $30 so major score there! So if you’re looking to add a few hot weather approved dresses on a budget, then girl, Marshalls is your BFF! PS… My purse is from Marshalls too! xo Lauren SaveSave SaveSave SaveSave SaveSave
