The Perfect Summer Dress

Dress c/o // Shoes // Handbag (under $25!) // Hat // Celine Sunglasses Dupes (under $20!): here & here // Necklace c/o // Lipstick (in "JuJu")

This may just be the perfect dress. A crisp white shirt dress is such a versatile piece. You can style it for the office or, as I did here, for a more casual weekend look. This particular dress is great for a number of reasons: 

1) It has pockets (If you saw my facebook yesterday, you 
    understand my love of pockets haha);
2) It has hidden buttons between each button on the chest
    (in other words, the dreaded 'gapping' is not a problem) and;
3) The length. This dress is cut just long enough to be work
    day appropriate (score!)

I also have to share my excitement over these Celine dupes. The Celine "baby audrey" sunglasses have been the "it" item all summer. Finding affordable look-a-likes was thus hugely exciting for me.

I hope you all had an amazing weekend (and to my American readers - Happy Independence Day!). I am so happy to finally be celebrating summer here in Vancouver. I am back at work today, but am already planning a beach bbq for after work this week. Bring on the sun, sand, and ice cold drinks!

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!
