Leather & Lace

When it comes to outfit planning for a fun night out I love playing with different mediums and textures. This ensemble is made up of quite a few, all while keeping the black and white colour scheme. Leather, lace, marble print and silky scallops are all the elements of this simple yet coordinated outfit. I also love how medium mixing can take me from the office to after work events with the simplest additions. I wear this lace skirt to work all the time, maybe paired with a blouse for the day, but swap out the blouse for a tank, add on a leather jacket, and we're good to go! What do you think? Are you one to mix it up?

Red, White, Blue

I know what you're thinking...Is it the fourth of July, or something?! 

Without getting into the boring details last week was just plain hectic. I had been looking forward to having a laid back weekend and laid back, breezy June evenings call for the simplest and easiest to throw on type of outfits.  I've been living in white jeans and white sneakers lately- there's something so fresh about white on white in the summer time. To keep it casual and to break up all the white, I layered on a comfy button down (since the evenings are still quite chilly), my favourite pair of chucks, and a red bag to bring out the strip of red in the sneakers.  Perfect for Saturday errands, a trip to the movies or a walk around the neighbourhood. 

Do you have that one outfit that you're quick to throw on, that never steers you wrong, and is comfy but makes you feel chic at the same time?

Favourite Summer Sweets

Looking for the perfect treat to bring to a summer get-together? Today I'm rounding up some of my favourite past posts that are perfectly sweet for the season! Take it up a notch with a donut and mimosa themed brunch, or completely wow your tasters with these decadent mini peanut butter cheesecakes. Looking for something less chocolatey? I love making these candy kabobs this time of year! They take my right back to my childhood summer day. And of course I can not leave out these cake batter chocolate chip cookies, they are actually my favourite (check out the original post to find out how we chowed down on these babies last summer). 

What is your quintessential summer treat?
