The Primark Purchase

Primark Coat / H&M pants / Parkhurst hat / F21 necklace / Winners shoes

Is there anything better than fashion on a budget? Nope, didn't think so. That's why when my boyfriend recently visited the UK, I didn't care for any particular souvenirs but instead, asked him to go on a little Primark mission for me. If you didn't know, Primark is basically a hub for fast fashion at very low cost, probably the UK version of Forever 21 in some ways. Anyway, lucky for me, he made out like a champ bringing me back this amazing red coat with glorious faux fur collar. I was also happy to hear he picked up a pair of jeans for himself as well. All in all, the mission was a success! I also hear that Primark may soon be opening stores in the US so I'm very excited about this as well!  

Green Blossom

Green blouse: Old Navy / Pants: Joe Fresh / Sweater: F21 / Shoes: Topshop / Belt and Hat: Thrifted / Earrings: Lia Sophia

Who would of thought that outfit inspiration could come from a pair of earrings? A couple of weeks ago, jewellery company Lia Sophia sent Jackie and I a few lovely samples of their collection. I really loved the earrings you see in the photos above and went ahead and fashioned an outfit using the green and peachy gold colour combination as my muse. Didn't have to look too far as I was really excited to wear these new Joe Fresh patterned jeans to welcome the spring weather. I also love the combination of all these fresh earthy tones and how refreshing it is to not be wearing any more black. Yay Spring!

Those Grey Days...

Sweater: Zara / Pants: H&M / Boots: Kenneth Cole Reaction

How much longer can winter drag on? Well, I am making an effort to maintain a little bit of style during these dark days. Even though my outfit has zero color to it, I think the crazy pattern pants are a lot of fun and a beaded collar on an otherwise boring grey sweater never hurt anyone. I'm still trying to keep it alive, people. 

The First Snow

Well it's that time of year! We've had our first snow and even our second snow and the Canadian deep freeze is settling in. Although temperatures are pretty much unbearable this time of year, Jackie and I still ventured out to take a few photos. The jacket I'm wearing below is perhaps one of my favorites even though I must admit, it isn't quite the warmest. Not to worry, I've found a solution: my little trick for wearing my favourite "not-made-for-Canadian-winters" coats is layering a warm puffy vest underneath. Works like a charm! If any of you have any clever tricks you'd like to share with me on the art of staying toasty while looking cute, please do tell! See ya later, Frockers.
