I've had my fair share of travel influences but lately I've been wearing (attempting actually) snapbacks more frequently. Something about the way hats add an edge to any outfit appeals to me, in a sense that I dare make a fool of myself every time I put one on. How they cover up any bad hair day seems to be another reason I use to convince myself snapbacks are a worthy investment. It's pretty ironic really... Honestly, we all should have known my thug side would eventually come out. It was only a matter of time... Hence the new hat. Cameo has been a huge obsession of mine so naturally this was a perfect fit. Aside from my variety in hats (rookie in the making), so does my every day outfit opportunities (seen here), (here) and (here). You could tell I was channelling my inner Cara in this shoot, which explains the not so awkward face I'm making in one of the shots. Another London influence perhaps? 
I'll never know.
What is certain though, is that a cup of hot chocolate is waiting for me, along with several photos to edit.
Until next time lovelies!

Serein










On me: sweater via Garage, mini anchor ring via Rings & Tings (buy here), cat & cross ring via HK, diamond ring via Emmy, heart necklace via Rings & Tings (buy here) & diamond necklace via Rings & Tings (buy here)

Though it was hard, I finally decided on an outfit to compliment how I've been feeling lately. It all began when I started planning my seasonal shopping list. But ended up having to debate (internally ofc) on the transitions of summer to fall. Part of me wanted to be kept warm, but the other half wasn't quite so ready for pants and thick clothing due to the oh so "warm" temperature our school provides. Which is why i'm glad with how this ensemble turned out. It contains patches of color which you all know I adore, whilst retaining autumn like qualities. 
As you know Thanksgiving has just finished and I'm pleased to say that I've found some cute pieces of jewelry to use throughout the a/w13 season. Even though I haven't included much jewelry in my past posts, I have to say I've begun to change my mind. Having received a lovely package once again from Rings & Tings you will definitely see me bring out more pieces when I do outfit posts (from my old and new collection!!!) 
Thats all for now and I wish you all a lovely belated Thanksgiving!

Living in a State of Dreaming

London has to be one of my favourite places I've travelled to so far. Perhaps it's because of the friends I met there or perhaps the new experiences that I find so intriguing. Or it could be the difference in boldness compared to where I live. Living in Canada, being fashionable was donning Uggs over Doc's, sweats over skinnies, cringe worthy tanks (e.g "yolo" & "like a boss") and anything demure and mentally frustrating. No i'm not against simplicity, but what confuses me is when I hear the same sentence over and over of not wanting to "dress up" because "comfort is better than style". In this modern age i'm sure we can both agree comfort & style is possible.

I'll miss you London and the girl who wore her Jeffrey Campbell's in the supermarket. Looking back I realize I've never been one to appreciate scenery. Instead I would run into the nearest food facility and take my precious time selecting what snacks to buy. However coming round for a second glance was utterly breath taking. I noticed a change in everything. The regal air and urban sophistication that every Londoner seemed to carry and the relaxed vibe locations had. That's what I love about London, imagination never seems to sleep there!

PS: Here's a song I've grown quite attached to recently. 
Ironically it's of the London band Two Door Cinema Cub. 
Regardless of their roots I can't wait to hear them live in Vancouver!

On me: Cat dress via H&M & Jacket via HK 

Here's the remaining photos Melissa shot!
I know it's not much of an outfit post, but I thought it would be a shame to waste :) 
Other than that, have a great week and enjoy the upcoming holiday.
Look out for my upcoming photos in London.
