Wednesday Wants: Tropical

Palm Tree Tote // Pineapple Ring // Pineapple Necklace // Palm Tree Phone Case // Starfish Sneakers

Coconut Drink Crossbody // Tiffany & Co Starfish Necklace // Anchor Earrings  // Watermelon Cami // Flamingo Midi Skirt

I have been craving all things summer lately. Maybe because it has been the opposite here in Vancouver lately?! haha. Seriously, it has been pouring rain and freezing- ugh!

Luckily, tropical items make me smile no matter how rainy it is outside! I have always been obsessed with palm trees, starfish & anchors. My mom recently found some old school notebooks of mine (from the 3rd grade) and sure enough they are covered with doodles of palm trees haha.

I hope you are all having a great week and that these tropical items bring a smile to your face. I think i'm going to pull the trigger and buy that palm print phone case today.

Wednesday Wants: Summer Prints & Patterns

Striped Dress // Dark Floral Denim // Palm Print Dress // DVF Chain Link Wrap Dress

Bold Colors Striped Dress // Paperbag Waist Floral Skirt // Seersucker Blazer // DVF Contrast Trim Wrap Dress // Striped Laptop Bag

Summer weather brings a lot of flexibility into what you can wear to work. Prints & patterns that are work appropriate are everywhere (especially this summer). I highly recommend you add some prints to your work day attire. 

Incorporating prints and patterns can make your outfit feel more fun - and more suited to summer. This week's wants are all items that would be great to brighten up your summer wardrobe.

I'm really excited about today! I've got a criminal lawyer's conference tonight that I have been eagerly anticipating for nearly 2 months. The keynote speaker is an incredible district attorney in the states who gave a TED talk on the justice system that I am obsessed with. I am ready to learn a whole lot this evening. I like work days where you know you get to become better at your job and where you get to grow as a professional. Today looks like it will be one of those days!

I hope you all have great work days ahead of you. Thank you (as always!) for stopping by. Be sure to follow me on instagram & like me on facebook to stay in touch!

Summer Lovin'

Tee: Target (the comfiest tee & it's under $15!)
Denim Vest: Old Navy
Shorts: Old Navy
Sunglasses: Polette
Pineapple Ring: Old. Similar: here & here
 Earrings: Old. Similar: here
Clutch: Marley Lilly
Sandals: DIY

An oh-so-comfy, oh-so-summery, outfit seemed perfect for your Friday morning. I have been living in this outfit this summer! The target tee is my new essential basic, and I love these palm print shorts. Paired with my favourite sunnies & favourite sandals, this outfit is just pure summer happiness to me! 

I HAVE to tell you guys about these sandals. So, if you follow my blog you may recall my "travel & fashion" post on Greece. As I mentioned in that post these are custom made sandals from Athens. I have been drooling all summer over the rhinestoned sandal trend but did not want to shell out the +$70 that I kept seeing ones for. So, I got my comfy custom made sandals and super glued on a bunch of rhinestones from Michaels. These instantly became my favourite sandals. 

I get SO many compliments on these gold armed sunglasses of mine! They look so much more expensive than they actually are and the quality is wayyyy better than my usual cheap sunnies. If you haven't heard of Polette eyewear yet, be sure to check them out! You can see my post on their "e-eyewear" (ie. non-prescription glasses that help with staring at computer screens) here.

Have a great weekend everyone! I am off to the Deighton Cup tomorrow (ie. Vancouver's version of the Kentucky Derby). I can't wait! See you all back here on Monday!
