Ummmm so am I the only one who just discovered Urban Outfitters' insane beauty/body offerings?! Tons of small unique brands and products mixed in with beauty big dogs like stila, duwop & elf. Random bath ish you didn't even know you needed (eye coal & pretty boy swag soap) AND most products are under thirty bucks?! What, what?! Yaaaasssss. Wish I had seen this when I was scrambling for xmas gifts last month. Buh bye, Sephora! Go check it right meow. You're welcome.

Oh hello again to the semi annual sale at Reformation. SO MUCH GREAT STUFF, like this cropped olive leather jacket and this killer off the shoulder mini dress. Here are a few more of my favorites but I'll take one of everything, thanks.

If you've been following my blog for any extended amount of time I'm sure you're familiar with my Reformation obsession. So when I was in NY this past weekend I totes-obvi-duh had to pop into the soho ref store. Uggggggh SO MUCH GOOD STUFF. I was finally able to try on a handful of the dresses that have been sitting in my virtual shopping cart for months now. Anyone with a slight online virtual window shopping addiction can agree that more often than not, pieces look super fab online (thanks to model babes, styling, photography, perfect lighting, etc.) and then lack the same magic in person. Let me just say this. Ref pieces look just as amazeballs, if not more amazeballs, in person as on their instagram. Amongst my fitting room stack was this backless blue velvet dress. Velvet? Blue?? Dress??? Yes. For some reason I love that it's reminiscent of a figure skater's competition garb, blame my twelve years of intense ballet training if you will. The "charm dress" lives up to its name and is perfect for a night out (hello, new year's eve!!) or for the day under a baggy sweatshirt. Although it's not available online in the blue, grab it in black or maroon to be a total #refbabe and solve your holiday dress dilemma all at once.

You already know I have major love for Nasty Gal (remember this post?) The online retailer puts out some of the raddest lookbooks, designs their own bad ass clothing line, have the most epic collaborations (ummm have you seen the new reformation for nasty gal?!) and now...their own shoe line! Nasty Gal is on FIAH and you can like, totally get in on the action because Shoe Cult by Nasty Gal launched today! Who better to design a line of shoes for bad ass chickies than the nasty babes themselves?? I'm completely in love with the amazeballs pair of studded sandals they sent me. Black, studded, and all sexy and strappy with a little baby heel. Paired with low slung Zara denim shorties, Forever 21 denim shirt and my trusty H&M panama hat. These sandals add the perfect edge to my canadian tux uniform. Oh and did I mention the entire line is less than two hundred bucks?! Excuse me while I order every pair.

Remember when I wrote about triangl bikini's amazeballs neoprene pieces? Well now that I have one (thank you Triangl!)...it's time to review. Yup, even better than I imagined. The perfect anti wedgie bottoms and a top that actually stays in place cannonball after cannonball. Hands down the PERFECT bikini.

Another graphic tee and denim? Woah. Hey...I mixed it up a little this time, I promise. Wearing my super rad "Bad News Babes" tee by Feather Hearts with a pair of grey Rag & Bone skinnies. Threw on my fav new strappy heels from Forever 21 and played around in the sunshine. The only bad news? You haven't ordered this tee yet.

Summer is quickly racing by. Did you do everything you wanted? Learn to skateboard, stay up late, don't brush your hair, roll around in the sand, jump on beds, go on adventures, laugh, eat ice pops and do what makes you happy. Remember a few months back when you said "I can't till summer to *insert something fun here*?" Well go do it. Here's what is inspiring the rest of my summer days...all sunshine, sneakers and not a care in the world.

Blue, white, denim and my favorite hat?. My outfits are just getting crazier and crazier! Switched up my usual "blue jeans-white shirt" combo by wearing blue on top and white on the bottom (see I told you I was getting cray.) Paired my trusty vintage denim shirt with a brand spankin' new pair of cream Koral skinnies for a summery spin on my go-to. Although I never really considered myself a white jeans-wearing girl, these skinnies are kinda the bomb. Super stretchy, comfy as f*** and have the ability to go with everything from a basic tee and vans to a leather jacket and man-killer stilettos. I'm definitely going to have fun experimenting with these jeans.  




Nothing better than perfectly placed pockets







These jeans make me wanna get super cray and 
wear white on white on white...coming soon???

What better way to celebrate Bastille Day than looking fit for stop into LadurĂ©e in Paris wearing simply chic black and white. Yesterday I wore my new pair of black high waisted skinnies by Koral Los Angeles and one of my favorite closet staples...backwards. These are hands down the perfect pair of black skinnies...you know, the ones you've been searching for?! Yup. A little stretch, the perfect length and a true black color (none of that faded crap.) Uhhhh heaven. Worn with one of my closet essentials, the striped racerback from American Apparel, backwards for a cool girl spin on a cutaway neckline. Added a pair of black stilettos and some studio vibes to pull my wannabe-Parisian look together. 

C'est magnifique!
