Crochet & Pearls



For the past 6 months or so, after seeing photos of everyone on the other side of the world be in summer gear, I have been steadily collecting a lot of white, crocheted or lace pieces. I've mentioned it before, my kind of summer is going to be very white and a little boho. I have never been the type to plan ahead what I'm going to be into for the coming season so this is a little surprising to me, nor have I been so committed to still like a certain style after so long. But I have been slowly accumulating pieces that are not too trendy, yes they have been all white and have some sort of lace or crochet detail to them, but I can certainly still see wearing them for a few years.

I also have to admit that Pearls have taken me aback a bit. It was something I was never drawn to wearing, though I have always admired it. I guess Pearls to me scream out elegance and poise and the first thought that pops into my head are Audrey Hepburn and Stepford Wives with their pearl necklaces and matching pearl studs. Not that there is anything wrong with those looks, I can certainly appreciate different styles, but let's face it, that is just not me. But some amazing jewellery designers out there have incorporated it into contemporary pieces I can see myself wearing. For example these Sarina Suriano Pearl pieces from her Omnis Collection can be worn casually or when you need to be dolled up. Accessories to me need to have that versatility to endure longevity in my wardrobe and let's face it, Pearls will NEVER go out style.

Enjoy your weekend!

The Blues



How easy are chambray shirts to wear! Not only are they comfortable but they can look semi-dressed up somehow. The perfect item for an extremely lazy dresser like me. I think the key is playing the denim hues right. Personally, I wouldn't wear the same wash of jeans as shirt, I think it would just overwhelm my frame too much.

That's why I love this chambray shirt so much. The colour blocking is just perfect for mixing and matching. Plus I cannot wait to wear it open as a light jacket during the warmer months. I am picturing it with a white billowy dress or lace shorts. The endless styling possibilities of this chambray shirt just makes me giddy!

Plus how cute is this necklace?! It's not a secret that I'm an insane cat lady and what better way to showcase that by putting the initials of my fat furry friends on these cute kitty necklace pendants.

Where did the weekend go? 

I hope you have a fab week ahead!
