I’m hanging onto those last summer memories, including the amazing Squamish Valley Music Festival experience with To Vogue Or Bust. My very first time at this fest (which also happened to be DAYS before the wedding, hence why it has taken me so long to post), it was all thanks to my friends at Gentle Fawn for the opportunity. Speaking of which, it’s your LAST CHANCE to use the exclusive Alicia Fashionista x Gentle Fawn promo code! Details below…
Words cannot describe my excitement for my absolute favourite season! The fact that we’re already able to talk pre-fall fashion makes my heart flutter. All I want to do right now is shop. Any spare time I have, I actually lock myself in the apartment and force myself to clean/tidy because otherwise I will jump in that car and head straight to the nearest clothing store. Can’t wait to carefully put together an autumn shopping list and gradually knock pieces off. Let the fall closet planning begin!

FASHION NEWS ALERT: The 70’s trend isn’t going anywhere! That’s right folks. Fall 2015 is going to pay homage to the glorious decade with suede mini skirts, a ton of floppy hats, vintage patterns, and fiercely tall boots. Now, that’s my kind of autumn attire! To Vogue Or Bust are still hanging on to the last little bit of summer here, with some 1970’s inspired outfits that can easily be pre-fall by switching out footwear with ankle boots and adding a jacket.
Like a true fashionista, I basically used the wedding as an excuse to buy every dress possible. This gorgeous little Cinderella number, being one of them. It is, in fact, a “prom dress” from ASOS that I purchased months ago, with the intention of saving it for my bridal shower. I thought the silhouette and detailing were beautiful and I loved the princess vibe , as my wedding dress was a very different style. Purchasing online is always a bit tricky, but I’m happy to report that it fits true to size and with my larger bust measurement, I didn’t even have to wear/probably couldn’t fit a bra underneath. Be sure to SHOP THE LOOK using the links above for the gorgeous Fall versions of this frock!
Don’t fall over in shock, but here I am wearing yet another LWD! The hottest dress colour this year (in my world, anyway) I just couldn’t say no to this little white dress from Gentle Fawn. It’s one (or anything else on their site for that matter) that you can get for 15% OFF using code ‘AliciaxGF’ at checkout!
It’s insane to admit, but I’m still feeling the effects of wedding chaos in everyday life. I’m constantly tired and am now fighting this annoying sore throat. I have a suspicion it all has to do with a lack of nutrients due to the fact that I never did revisit the doctor after finding out I’m anemic. Been thinking about possibly trying out a naturopath and finally putting effort into fixing my stomach issues. Which is an extensive list of life long problems that are probably only heightened by my lack of iron (I’ve been a vegetarian for almost ever). A real joy and a delight, I tell ya! Have you ever seen a naturopathic doctor? Any words of wisdom?

We’ve all been guilty of it. A hot trend hits NYFW, blogs, and magazines and we’re overcome with a sense of NEED. This often leads to us to impulse buy and sometimes it’s for such a short lived trend! These days, I’m trying to be a little more conscious of my spending and am aiming for smarter purchases that truly reflect my personal style. I’m also doing my best to re-wear as often as possible.
My good friend Alexandra of To Vogue Or Bust and I decided to tackle the 70’s trend with two different looks and I’m proud to say that I was able to do so without splurging on anything new! Something as broad as “70’s style” has the ability to be created with a modern twist, and hopefully with items you already own or can find second-hand! Take a look:
Well, that certainly was the best week of my life that now feels like a distant dream. I cannot wait to go through every second of it with you guys and re-live it all! There’s so much to share and so many wedding planning and even life lessons learned. Beforehand, I couldn’t stop saying how much I hated planning but after seeing it all come together, I take it all back!
Who in their right mind, would launch a redesigned website, go to a 3 day music festival, and get married, all within a week? *Looks around cautiously and slowly raises hand* THIS CRAZY LADY, THAT’S WHO! Sure, I’m probably going a little mad but it was absolutely worth it to be here right now. How AMAZING is this place?!
Ladies and gentlemen (??) Welcome to the brand NEW look of aliciafashionista.com! Things received a bit of a summer refresh around here, and I’m just SUPER excited to finally be sharing it with you all!
