Spring Break Essentials

spring break




Spring break is quickly approaching and it's time to get ready. Here are some essentials for those travelling to sunnier weather. I picked a blue color palate with lots of prints and some reading material of course!

Remember to rest, relax and have a blast!!

Weekend basics: Floral top and black denim





(Eva Franco top, J Brand jeans, Seven for all mankind boots, Foley and Corinna bag)

Went for breakfast with some friends at a very cute place called Griffintown followed by some vintage shopping (thank you to my friend Clara who took my pics).  I wore a floral top in darker shades with some black denim topped with a fur trimmed pea coat. For breakfast I had the eggs benedict as usual with a latte that was just perfect. Will definitely go back soon for the mac and cheese!! I am also very in love with the decor: brick wall, beautiful mirrors and a real rustic feel.  Overall it was a great Saturday and I even picked up a vintage silk scarf!

J.Crew: Made in Italy




I am so inspired by this video and love that we are going back to craftsmanship and hopefully away from mass production. Recently I was frustrated with the lack of quality shoes being sold in stores. I feel like they break easily and are uncomfortable due to the materials used and the way they are made. Hopefully Jenna can lead the way and bring on an era of quality goods.

Please tell me what you think?

Lunch Break Inspiration : Olivia Palermo for Tibi

 





So I was going to have an outfit post today, but had a huge pimple on my forehead and so no pics for today ( the Star Trek forehead just won't do:).  And Olivia just looks way better than I ever will!  This trench in the first pic is so fabulous I had to share.

Loving right now: Coral and Nude pairings

Coral and \nude


I cannot wait for the snow to melt and the sun to shine to start wearing some spring looks. In the meantime though I am looking for inspiring looks and Rachel Bilson caught my eye as usual. She paired her Vanessa Bruno jacket with a nude sun dress and her favorite open-toe booties from Maison Martin Margiela.This overall look is so fresh and an will definitely be injecting these colors into my wardrobe.

My Valentine's dinner outfit



(MK2K dress, Ginger sweater, Zara shoes, Vintage bag, BR ring)

My guy and I are not really that into Valentines day, but decided to go out for dinner anyways.  We picked this cute resto suggested by friends called Wellhouse and enjoyed a rather casual evening. He had the burger and fries and I had the seabass and veggies with wine, of course.  I decided to wear a LBD with a fuschia cardigan and leopard accessories ( thought I would get into the spirit by wearing some pink!).  The rest of my weekend was filled with browsing other fashion blogs for great shots of NYFW along with a Gossip Girl marathon.

How are you guys celebrating Valentines?
