Smooth Sailing

  
 
I was at my sister’s the other day walking her new puppy, American bulldog named Sky, aka the cutest little thing, aka traffic stopper J. So I thought I would take few pictures of my outfit. It is again a more casual outfit comfortable for a pretty chilly spring day. For a moment I thought it was a fall and not a spring day.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Jeans and sweatshirt H&M, boots, snake bracelet and purse Ebay, earrings old, ring (silver) Aldo, ring black/silver old, watch Swatch, leather jacket 10 years old Le Chateau, rabbit fur vest 7 years old
 
Now, one of my favourite things about this outfit is this purse. It is a look-alike Channel bag but it is not a knock off. Don’t waste money on cheap knock offs! They look exactly like that, knock off. Your better options are look-alike purses. All the stores now, from designer to the ones catering to a more regular folk are making these look-alike purses. One such example is Town Shoes with their Red Carpet collection. One that I really love now is a Celine bag that is definitely not in my budget and I have found a few similar ones that I really like. Channel was another one. I found this one on Ebay. It’s made of genuine leather.  I find better deals on these types of purchases on Ebay. When searching Ebay, make sure you type in genuine leather in your search. Also make sure you check several sellers for the best price (consider the shipping too). Ensure to check out measurements too!! Measure twice, buy once! Winners is an amazing place for great leather purses too. What are your thoughts on this? Where do you like to buy purses?

    I love this look. What about the jacket? Where do you recommend we look for similar styles?

      Leather is very in now so you can pretty much get it anywhere, all shapes, styles and textures. I would not be afraid to invest in a good quality leather jacket as you will wear it for years to come. As for the vest, if you ever travel to eastern Europe in the winter you can find great deals :) But a cheaper solution are thrift/vintage clothing stores. This way no new animals were hurt :) I bought several fur coats in great shape. You can make them into a vest. But I have seen vests as well. Good luck shopping!

The Very First Outfit Post

        I took a few outfit pictures over the last few days, as I was running around my day and I wasn’t sure what would be the first one to post. I debated and as the days went by and weather changed (it seems every day it was a different season), I decided to go with the very first one I shot. This one I actually took last month at the High Park.   It was the last few days when you could see the cherry tree blossom so I did not want to miss out on it. I love spring only for this reason, trees and flowers blossoming. And the fact that it is a sign that the summer is just around the corner (I am still waiting for this corner though), but it is a sign.      A little nervous giggle              Sweater Costa Blanca, white tee H&M, rings, earrings, necklaces and leggings Forever 21, watch Michael Kors, bag Louis Vuitton, sneakers Urban Planet, sunglasses Ray Ban   ...

Have You Visited Positano & Amalfi Coast Yet?

Pants Zara, jacket Zara, sneakers Forever21, bag unknown (Winners), dress unknown ( similar ), ankle boots PrettyLittleThings There are still quite a few more outfits and cities I’ll be featuring on the blog from my last year’s trip to Italy, however today I’m sharing this post from the last location we visited: beautiful Positano. As we visited Italy in the fall, outfits left to share are more fall appropriate, so I will share them come September. I’ll be dealing with two little babies then so God knows how much time I will have to shoot new outfits. As I’m laying on my couch bored out of my mind counting down the days to my delivery next week (whooohoooo!!!) I’m experiencing such FOMO. Partially because I won’t be going on vacation this summer (though becoming a mom to two little girls is quite awesome!!) and partially because I’m reminiscing of my travels last year. Positano seems to still be one of the most photographed summer destinations so I’m sharing a few pictures f...

Black & White Striped Forever 21 Dress & Aldo Shoes

Shoes Aldo, bag Target, dress Forever 21, jacket Le Chateau, sunglasses ZeroUV, spike bracelets Aldo, silver bracelet Tiffany&Co, watch DKNY Hello lovelies. I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend. Hopefully, those of you who are moms got to be pampered and spoiled by your kids and partners. I hope you also showed your love to your moms and thanked them for everything they have done for you. We should be doing it every day, but it’s really nice to have a day dedicated to these amazing women. I know how much my mother means to me and she certainly deserves every day to be dedicated just to her. I’m sure all of you feel the same way about your mothers too. Even the sun came out to shine and make Mother’s day even more special. I made sure to go bare legged to welcome the warmth and the sun. Today’s outfit is a cute spring look, easy to pull off. Black and white stripes always make a statement and a little pop of colour just makes the outfit complete. I spent the day out mostly...

Would You Wear a Bathing Suit as a Top?

Skirt H&M, bathing suit/top unknown, sandals Le Chateau, bag vintage Value Village, hat bought in Athens From north of Greece and beautiful Khalkidhiki peninsula, we headed due south and reached this little town called Athens 😊 . Athens Greece is simply beautiful. No matter where you are in the city, Gods of Acropolis are looking over you. It is such an amazing feeling especially at night when the city is covered by darkness and Acropolis shines in its full light and grandeur. It’s a wonderful feeling to be walking down city streets and being pleasantly surprised by monuments from Ancient Greece as you turn the next corner. I started of my city walk from Monesteriaki neighbourhood and walked around all neighbourhoods surrounding it, from Plaka and Kolonaki to Anafiotika and Gazi. I especially loved Anafiotika. If you love hilly neighbourhoods, then you will love Anafiotika. At night, you can sit on the stairs of cafés and enjoy a cold beer or a cocktail with all the local...
