Throwback to Last Week

Hello my loves

I have been meaning to blog about my recent trip to the city for a week now and just never got around to it. However, now that I have some down time today before work I am inspired to blog since I am sitting in my new favourite spot in my grandmother's garden, under the shade of a tree (don't ask how I ended up here haha. Check out my next blog for pictures!)

Myself and my friend Jessica decided on a whim that it would be fun to drive into the city and stay the night. Having both read and fell in love with John Green's book The Fault In Our Stars we decided to catch the late movie and see Augustus Waters in motion picture. Needless to say, we were not disappointed. Even though I already knew how the story ends, I sobbed like a baby all throughout the movie (Yes..I am that embarrassing friend you do not want to come with)

This is my "light" snack that I bought for the movie hehe. Go big or go home. Right?

That night, we also had a chance to do a little shopping. Here's a dressing room pic of my OOTN.

Pssstt....Sorry for the blurriness

Black Tank: Dynamite

Shorts: Sans Souci

Sandals: Steve Madden

Leather Jacket: Envy

Bag: Miztique

I managed to find a new pair of high wasted shorts that only cost $10!! I also found two adorable crop tops for cheap that I am saving to do a collective haul post later on this month.

The next day, before leaving the city we decided to enjoy to sunshine by going for a stroll through Bowering Park which just so happens to be one of my favorite spots in St. John's. The park has both open and shaded walking trails that take you everywhere around the park including alongside the river, a large field (great for picnics), and also the outdoor swimming pool. It is pretty much the underrated gem of St. John's.

Heading back over the highway we enjoyed some smoothies and great tunes.

We finished off our little Mid-week-weekend laying out in the sun on my parents patio sipping ice cold spicy Caesars (typical Canadian).

Here's a post-tanning pic from my Instagram showing off my new shorts!

Shorts: Urban Planet

Bikini top: Forever 21 (this season!)

Do you ever have a spontaneous Mid-Week-Weekend? Let me know how you spend your days off!!

Escape

Hello Lovelies!

Today has been a typical Newfoundland rainy day with thunder showers expected for the evening

Humphh....

I decided to escape from my usual nest on my bed with my laptop, iPad, and a cozy blanket .

Rainy days are much prettier pondside in my cabin cuddled up to the fire.

Here's a pic I snapped watching the rain fall with my coffee and current read.

I haven't read much from this book yet but after reading The Fault in Our Stars I am sure John Green won't disappoint.

What are you currently reading?

Celebrity Style Inspired - Festival Look

Hello Lovelies!!

It's no surprise that Vanessa Hudgens is the queen of Coachella.

*"And the Festival Style Fashionista Award goes to......"*

She has the vintage flower child look on lock down and she knows it, strutting her stuff around the festival.

One downside of celebrity style however, is that it often comes with a large price tag. After all... if I was a famous, I would live is designer clothes too!

Fortunately for us not-so-famous-fashionistas we can create our own inspired look for much less.

In this specific outfit that Vanessa wore to the 2014 Coachella festival, she is rocking high-waisted jean shorts, an adorable patterned loose fitted bandeau, an angelic long white kimono, and some cowgirl inspired booties. And let's not forget her signature flower headband along with some chunky jewelry. She looks fabulous yet effortless and casual.

Here's the outfit that I put together inspired by Vanessa's festival look.

What's my favorite piece? It has to be the leather buckle boots from LoveClothing, who can beat their prices?
