1. Put a Lid on it

    Baseball caps. Not something I would have thrown into the must have category until all of a sudden I started seeing tons of amazing hats popping up around the web.

    Actually my first, “damn, girl! Nice cap!” moment happened last summer when Inga rocked one at the beach by Canadian company Raised By Wolves.

    Ladies, wadda ya say we beat the dudes at their own game?!

  2. Sweet Spot

    There is something special about Polka Dots. They always put a smile on my face and add the perfect amount of whimsy to an otherwise boring ensemble. All of these items are day-brighteners; antidotes to the blahs. Kind of like spring!

  3. A Few Random Things from Forever 21 That I Like

    Tiger Shirt

    Pants

    LBD

    Heart Sweater

    I’m trying to turn a new leaf when it comes to spending and saving. This means I have to stop shopping for clothes that I don’t necessarily need. I’m doing okay on that front. No boxing day shopping and since before the holidays I’ve only bought two or three things (trust me, that’s progress).

    Forever 21 has really affordable, on-trend stuff (plus free shipping on orders over $60). The quality definitely matches the pricepoint, but sometimes that’s okay. I mean, how much wear-and-tear are you going to put on a pair of bright blue flower print capris? 

    I found myself over there and saw a few cute things that - if it weren’t for this saving kick - I’d love to scoop up.

    From top to bottom: Sequinned Tiger Top, $23.80 / Floral Sketch Capris, $29.80 / V-Back Sheath Dress, $33.80 / Heathered Heart Pullover, $21.80

  4. Give Summer the Boot

    Boots. They’re a finicky sort. I always find the search for the perfect pair morphs from fun to tedious pretty fast. They have to meet a lot of criteria (on trend but classic, basic but unique, comfortable but classy…) and, if you’re anything like me, they get a lot of milage which begs for high quality (AKA not cheap), so I have to love them.

    For the record, I’ll take a pair of each.

  5. This weekend I’m heading to Montreal for Osheaga. I’m going alone, but I’m confident I’ll run into lots of familiar faces. Not having been to a multi-day festival like this before, I’m going on an assumption that it’s a place to see and be seen, making packing and outfit planning… tricky; even for the most sartorially savvy.
