Day-to-Night

{Forever 21 Dress and Belt, Stella & Dot Necklace, Zara Heels, Stella & Dot Ring, Madewell Bracelet}

This dress is such an easy one to throw on with flat sandals on the weekend, or heels and a statement necklace for a night out. I'm predicting it's going to be a summer staple this year, and I'm looking forward to experimenting and finding new ways to wear it.

If you can't beat it, look good embracing it.

Summer Heat

I've been choosing light, breezy fabrics to combat the hot, humid weather gracing Toronto lately. There's nothing worse that putting on tight, sticky clothes when the temperatures are in the 30's. I was immediately drawn to this skirt, not only for the light fabric, but also the versatility of it - conservative enough for the office when paired with more structured pieces, yet relaxed enough for the weekend with a tee and flat sandals.

I'd love to know - what are your go-to pieces for beating the summer heat?

Polka Dot Shorts

I consistently love an easy-to-throw-on sweater that feels fresh and current. I paired this one with a cute pair of printed cut-off shorts to balance out the slouchiness, and added a straw fedora for texture - all recent Gap finds might I add, and sure to be on regular rotation this summer!

Contrast Combination

I love how a black and white print can effortlessly pair with almost any other coloured print for a slightly edgy feel.

If you're wondering who the cute furball is, that's Parker, who we had the pleasure of dog-sitting yesterday. I feel like he instantly enhances these pictures, don't you think?

Currently Craving: Sheer Top Layer

I'm officially on a hunt for some version of this unique layering piece. Suggestions please!

Winery-Bound

A day of wine tasting and touring requires the comfiest of skirts, a loose top, walkable sandals and a cute hat and shades to protect against the sun.  Also, if you're ever exploring Napa Valley's beautiful wineries, I highly recommend V. Sattui Winery and Castello di Amorosa (pictured above). 

Sheath

Even though this dress needed a little bit of tailoring, I loved it instantly for it's bright unique pattern and classic sheath shape. Easily dressed up or down, I anticipate it being a versatile summer staple this season.
