Summer Staples

Here are one of my summer staple combinations: oversize blouses and denim cut-offs. So comfy and perfect for the weather in Canada! Well, except for at the moment. Currently we are experiencing a record breaking heat wave... the weather (with the humidity) has reached above 40 degrees Celcius the past two days! As such this outfit staple has been much, much too hot. But still I thought I would post a little feature highlighting one of my favourite casual summer day choices.

Just to let you guys know due to the weather I have been pretty much living at my cottage sans wifi. As a result I have not been able to respond to many of your comments as quickly as I would like to. They are coming! If you write to me, I will always return the favour.

Also, I want to let you guys know that I have A TON of outfit posts coming up. They are already taken and loaded on to my computer and just bidding their time to be released. Also, I hope to post up some new summer inspirational photos I have saved on my computer so check back soon lovelies... and for those of you commenting, thank you :) Always appreciated!

Love always,
K.xx

Finders Keepers

So my mother and I went 'thrifting' yesterday... and did we ever have fantastic luck! (Note: I would have said that we went vintage shopping but I don't know if Value Village is cool/old enough to qualify as vintage!)
Here are some of my finds:

What do you guys think.. is the Gucci wallet real????? It's made of a really nice quality leather and has none of the obvious faux-Gucci emblems. Still I don't see how anyone could possibly chuck out a Gucci wallet?!


This is my old wallet from Invito in Amsterdam that I will be putting to rest for a few months. I'm in love with this one and will definitely whip it out again in a few months when I'm sick of the Gucci(?) one.

This purse I actually bought on sale at a store next to Value Village. Kind of has a thrifty vibe too though. I'd been eyeing this one for awhile and when it was marked down from $70 to $20 I grabbed it in an instant. The photo doesn't really do it justice.

So here is my first non-accessory purchase. The shorts were maybe $5 and were originally Esprit. They fit me like a glove and would look super cute belted. Please excuse, once again, the awful photos of yours truly. I'm just taking a short catnap is all. One of these days I will try to be ambitious and actually take some nice photos. ONE DAY SOON. That's a promise as now that I've started posting some of my own personal style I have grown rather addicted to the practice.


One of the necklaces I bought.

This one was originally from H&M and as I am addicted to lace I picked it up in a second.

This last shirt is from Banana Republic orginally and is very bohemian and fun. The old lady earrings in the second photo I also picked up yesterday. I just hope that they weren't donated by a dead person's relatives because that is always a little creepy. But if I can snag more cute stuff like this in the future I think I'll take the risk of wearing a dead person's handoffs anyday.


Let me know what you guys think of my finds! And if you've found anything fantastic whilst thrifting recently please share! I'd love to see some of your finds too :)
With Love,
K.xx
