Summer Work Outfit


What to wear, what to wear...styling a summer outfit for work can be tricky! You have to look put together even in sweltering heat: not an easy feat. My go-to look? A simple but bright dress, a statement necklace and low heels. A good pair of specs and a fashionable laptop/iPad case don't hurt either!

This time of year I almost want to cut off my hair just out of frustration: the heat makes you want to get it up and off of your face! I've been using an actual cut up sock for my sock buns up until now, so I was excited to find a proper foam bun in my bag of goodies from the London Drugs beauty event! It makes a world of difference: a super easy addition to my hair routine.

Seaside: Comfy Casual


I'm always looking for new ways of working my boyfriend jeans into my wardrobe: they're just so comfy! Of course, no seaside look would be complete without an item of linen and a pair of boat shoes. Perfect for wandering along the beach and pier in White Rock.

I am absolutely loving loose knit sweaters this summer, and they make a great piece for transitioning into the cooler evening weather. I found the one I'm wearing in the last photos at Betty Be Good Boutique; it's perfect for a casual summer look. During the daytime though, a light and airy linen blouse does the trick. I feel like it would make a good 'beach in the Hamptons' type of preppy outfit!

Olive + Piper Summer Stylin' Preview


I have a confession to make: statement jewellery is my weakness! How can a girl possibly say no to all those big, bright, sparkly baubles?

On a hot, summer day last week, Olive + Piper invited us their Summer Stylin' preview party on a rooftop patio, complete with gorgeous view of Vancouver. Sipping drinks and snacking on cute treats, we perused the 4 collections: summer tropics, pretty pearls, wedding glam, and minimalism. I may not be going to a wedding anytime soon, but the wedding glam collection definitely ended up being my favourite. All the stunning, bejewelled pieces were so sweet and pretty, they made my heart skip a beat! Making a decision as to which ones would come home with me was not easy...but now I'm super excited to style my new Pink Pomponia and Mahala Tassel statement necklaces! The tassel necklace will especially good with simple black dresses and shirts in the fall and winter, while the Pink Pomponia necklace will make an amazing statement with an evening dress.

If you check out their stylish website and see something you love, I have a special treat for you:
