Wednesday Wants: Shoes

White Lace Up Flats //  Gold Glitter "I Feel" Flats // Tan Tory Burch Ballet Flats // Embellished Pointy Toe Flats // Scalloped Ballet Flats 

Nude D'Orsay Lace Up Flats // Yellow Bow Flats // Gold Scalloped Flats //  Tassel Loafers

I have been having major shoe cravings lately. All I want to buy is shoes, and I have no real idea why haha. I've justified my shoe craving by saying that flats - especially ones for summer - are a great investment. I am a definite heels girl (no surprise there!) but in the summer I find myself walking so much more while at work and thus turn more frequently to flats.

All of the above options would be great to wear to work - except the gold glitter ones which, come on, had to be on this list since they are so darn cute. Those i would wear on the weekends, for sure.

Do you wear flats more frequently in the summer? What items are you finding yourself craving this summer? I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below! Have a great day everyone.

Wednesday Wants: Pastels

Pink Pencil Skirt // Tory Burch Pale Blue Crossbody // Blue Embellished Neckline Sheath Dress // Tory Burch Chainstrap Bag // Bow Waist Blush Pencil Skirt 

Blue Bow Waist Pants // Pink Dress Pants // Blue Bootcut Pants // Yellow Floral Sheath Dress

Pastels are, unsurprisingly, on-trend every spring. What I have noticed this year though is that we are seeing more and more work appropriate items - pencil skirts, sheath dresses & dress pants - in pastel colors. This is something that I haven't seen as much in years past, and I am glad we are getting this diversity in work wear color! 

This week's wants are focused entirely on pastel work appropriate items. My favorite is probably the pale blue sheath dress. I would love to wear this to work with a pair of nude pumps.

I hope you are all having a great work week!

Wednesday Wants: Work Appropriate Prints

Windowpane Handbag // Watercolor Pumps // Window Pane Dress // Floral Hem Pencil Skirt // Striped Pumps 

Floral & Polka Dot Dress // Plaid Pumps // Floral Pencil Skirt // Leopard Pumps // Striped Bow Pumps

I think too many young professionals shy away from prints when it comes to choosing items to wear to work. Prints can be challenging, for sure, but done correctly they can look great in your wear to work wardrobe! I particularly like adding prints in my accessories - my shoes & handbags.

These are my favorite "printed items" available right now. What I like about all of the items here is that they easily mix into your existing wardrobe. The dresses are stand alone pieces, while the shoes, handbag & skirt pair easily with work wear basics.

I've had a really fun week so far- and I have definitely indulged in some shopping! For non-work days I picked up a pair of denim short overalls and oh-my-gosh I never want to take them off. They are so comfortable and super nostalgia inducing. Pretty sure the last time I wore overalls I was 9 haha. You can see a pic of the overalls on my instagram if you want to check them out! I Hope your work week is going well so far!

Wednesday Wants: Must Try Spring Trends

Grey Paper Bag Waist pants  // Baby Blue Suede Pumps // Paper Bag Waist Chambray Shorts // Denim Culottes //
Fringe Handbag // Gold Tassel Earrings

Michael Jors Grey Culottes (perfect for work!) // Velvet Choker Necklaces // Tassel Bangle // Grey Tie Waist Dress // Nude Patent Flats 

There are so many fashion trends to try this spring - from the 90s, to culotte pants, to paper-bag waists. This week's Wants are a round up of items I love that are right on trend for spring. I hope you enjoy them! 

My personal favorite trend is probably the paper bag waist. It's comfortable & flattering, and can be casually dressed down or dressed up for work. That, my friends, is the definition of a 'functional' trend! I would love to know what trends you are most looking forward to wearing this spring. Let me know in the comments below!

Wednesday Wants: Spring Office Wear

Pale Pink Short Sleeve Dress // Peach Tie Waist Dress // Suede Block Heel Pumps // Mint Suede Pumps // Floral Pumps 

Pink Tie Waist Pants // Boot Cut Light Grey Pants // Printed Culottes // Striped Long Sleeve Shirt // Floral Cut Out Peplum Top

I've been slowly bringing out my spring work wardrobe this past week. For me, that means lots of blush, gray, and pale blues and yellows. This week's Wants are all items I would love to add to my spring wardrobe. I definitely think I need to pull the trigger on all 3 pairs of shoes. The chunky heel pumps are right on trend (and I love the suede). The other two are both new patterns/colors of my favorite shoes - Ivanka Trumps. 

Today is my last day of being 29. I am freaking out (slightly) less than i thought I would be, so I am calling that a win. Today is also my last day of work before a 4 day weekend so, that is exciting! I've decided not to do any sort of big celebration for my birthday - instead I've asked friends and family to spend whatever money they would normally spend on me (be that $7 buying a drink at a bar, or $25 on a gift, etc.) and instead spend that on something good. I.E. Donate it to a local charity, buy the person behind you in line a cup of coffee etc. I then asked my friends to tell me about what they did as that will bring me SO much more joy than any present could.

See you all back here on Friday for a spring work outfit AND another giveaway! You don't want to miss it!

Wednesday Wants: Spring Shoes (under $120)

 Lace up Sandals // Studded Flats //  Bow Sandals // Lace up Pink Heels // Printed Bow Pumps

Floral Pumps // Embellished Pumps //  Floral Sneakers // Floral T-strap Heels

Happy Wednesday readers! The weather here in Vancouver has finally turned to spring (our cherry blossoms are in full bloom!) This, of course, has had me craving spring fashion all week.

For this week's Wednesday Wants I'm rounding up my favorite spring shoes, all under $120. I can't get over how many gorgeous options there are!

Florals are in style every spring (obviously), but I love that this spring bright hues & neutrals will also be very popular. Texture will also be big this spring - look for suedes and silks to be right on trend. 

I absolutely love the nude embellished pumps for work - they are perfect to spring-ify your work wardrobe (... and yes, we're pretending that's a word... just go with it). I can't believe they are under $40!

See you all back here on Friday! I've got a bold work outfit I can't wait to share (plus a discount code for some gorgeous stuff!) Follow along on instagram & twitter for an early sneak peak of the outfit and coupon code!

Tuxedo Stripe Pants 

Nike Pink Running Shoes 

Long Sleeve Romper 

Red Mini Skirt

Forest Green Blouse

Lace Panelled Jump Suit

Another Wednesday is upon us! I love doing Wednesday Wants because it always adds some cheer to what is, let's face it, the crappiest day of the week. It's like the toast of the food world. blah. Thank you all for checking out this week's wants, I hope you find some items you love!

1. Kendra Scott Rose Gold Ring: I have been seeing Kendra Scott pieces popping up on fashion blogs a lot over the past few months, but they have never quite caught my eye. This piece however is the first one that I absolutely adore and can't wait to get my hands on! (...and my apologies to any of my readers who are sick of my rose gold kick haha)

2. ASOS Giraffe Print Shorts: Oh my gosh. I am in love. I spent a few months working in East Africa in 2012 and I am now obsessed with any sort of African prints.

3. Tuxedo Stripe Pants: Definitely just found my newest work pants. win.

4. Nike Pink Runners: In my opinion, the more fun and awesome the workout clothes, the easier it is to motivate yourself to work out. Love these.

5. Long Sleeve Romper: Such a perfect romper for spring nights out. Add a statement necklace and some rocking heels and you're good to go!

6. Red Mini Skirt: As I've said before, texture/fabric is everything for me when it comes to fashion. I cannot get over the sheen to this mini skirt and definitely want to add it to my closet!

7. Forest Green Blouse: How perfect is this blouse for work?! Not low cut, just enough sparkle, a deep (read: conservative) hue.. definitely want to wear this to work - I could even pair it with those tuxedo stripe pants!

8. Lace Paneled Jump Suit: Again, such a perfect item for spring evenings. This would make such a fun girls night out outfit, or a date night outfit!
