W is for…
Wearing heels in the daytime.  Like a lady.
Working like a maniac before vacation.  I must admit defeat and just work abroad.
Walking beside a cardboard cactus.  Awesome, right?
Woodwards, which represents the giant W behind me in these photos.
Weekend.  You made it to FRIDAY 🙂

Man repelling at its finest, Adam saw these in the apartment and assumed they were my new pajamas.  Which is silly, because I wear old sweats to bed.  Probably wishful thinking on his part.  Really though,  I love styling up these sporty printed trousers with structured blazers and blousy tops.  The bright drawstring is such a surprise pop of colour as well, the Aritzia team really done good this time!  I can’t stop wearing these, they’re ideal for these confused weather days.  Hope your week is off to a great start! xo

Stripes and florals are just a match made in outfit heaven.  SO many combinations, so little time.  I’m just disappointed these shots turned out slightly over-exposed.  I mean, they looked fine on the camera at the time, but it’s a rookie mistake to double check photos with sunglasses on (#bloggerproblems…).  Will be wearing this one a lot this summer though, so there’s always next time.

Speaking of which, I’m all about the ‘lady length’ in skirts right now.  I could go for about 3 more skirts like this one.  Hear that mom?  Get out that sewing machine already!  They’re going to be a staple on our trip.  Now I just need to find the right shoes to pull off this length in the daytime.  Though, comfortable yet stylish travel shoes in general are basically mission impossible.  I’ll keep ya posted 😉

I’ve always loved the look of wide-leg trousers, but had yet to find a pair that worked for me.  That was, until a recent trip to Anthropologie, where this beautiful green fabric was peeking through the sale racks.  The only pair, marked down twice to just $20 and exactly my size.  How could I refuse?  I LOVE a good sale find!

This whole undecided weather/in between seasons thing always starts to get to me at this time of year.  Which, is why I tend to gravitate towards reworking favourites and introducing new summer pieces slowly by layering.  The oldest trick in the May book.  Let the remixing begin!

Looking at these photos, I just want to run and fetch my steamer to get those darn wrinkles out of my blouse.  Of course, I only had a few minutes to get ready (because Jen, Kate, Elizabeth and I had all been out shopping before our last Manchester dinner with the boohoo team) and I couldn’t find an iron and board in the hotel room.  Let’s just consider it a lesson learned not to pack that particular top, as it’s creased on a good day.  Speaking of which, I must confess that I still haven’t fully unpacked from the trip.  Just call me the ultimate procrastinator, but laundry and unpacking are two of my most hated tasks!  Needs to be done though, I’m spending the long weekend doing a big closet purge/spring cleaning.  Can’t wait to re-organize and make room for lots of new summer goodies.  Happy Thursday lovelies xo

Feels like oh-so-long ago that our mini taste of summer was here.  Back when I finally got to sport this dreamy citrus outfit that I’d been saving for a few months.  I just love these juicy hues!  Reminds me of sitting on a patio enjoying mojitos, or diner on a warm and breezy beach vacation.  Soon enough my friends, soon enough!
