Look for Less: Rihanna Pop of Red

Topshop Shirt, 12 CAD / Legging, 20 CAD / Oversized handbag, 40 CAD

Crop tops are all the rage this summer while its pairing them with a pair of pants, high waisted jeans or skirt. I loved this look Rihanna was sporting the other day, it's the perfect combination of simple chic with a pop of colour. 

Are you wearing crop tops this summer?

Why Swap?
Clothing swaps are a fun way to participate in eco-friendly and socially conscious clothing consumption! You'll be shopping sustainably with like-minded folk, having fun, scoring some fabulous finds all while your own pre-loved items will get a new lease on life.

Swapping Guidelines
Here are a few simple guidelines to keep the swap running smoothly:

1. You can bring clothing (except underwear), scarves, belts, gloves, shoes, bags, handbags, hats, ties, coats and other fashion accessories to swap.
2. Each item dropped off will be considered to have a value of 1 token. You will be given 1 token for each item you bring, for a maximum of 12 pieces.
3. Any additional items you want to take home will be $1.
4. Clothing must be clean, in good condition (free of rips and stains) with buttons and zippers intact.
5. If we feel the item is unsuitable, we may not be able to include it in the swap.
6. Keep in mind that all swaps are final.

Proceeds of this event will go towards further community events at Evergreen Brick Works. At the end of the swap, all extra clothing will be given to charity.

Trifted Houndstooth

I have been obsessing over Houndstooth prints ever since I saw them all over Stephen Caras runway show during Toronto Fashion Week so when I found this scarf at a local thrift shop for only $2 it was a steal! Sometimes you just need a different pattern in the form of a scarf or necklace to add something more to an outfit. This scarf is great for the summer as well since it is so light weight, I plan on getting a lot of use out of it. What do you guys look for a thrift stores?

Also found these beautiful flowers, I couldn't resist taking photos of them.

Beauty Board Panel Event

Shirt: Guess | Jeans: Levis via Marshalls | Flats: Call It Spring | Watch: Urban Outfitters | Purse: Marshalls | Ring: Lia Sohpia
About a week ago I went with my fellow blogger gals (Dee, Sandra and Tiffany) to the Beauty Board event in Toronto. There were tons of different brands there telling us all about their brands and what is coming up for them. I would pick a favourite but they were all so good and I especially loved how it was a mix of big and small brands. It was such a warm sunday and I almost wondered why I ended up wearing jeans (probably because I am a wuss when I end up being cold). Tiffany and I went on a little mission during the event to take some outfit pictures for you guys and ended up making friends with the firefighters across the road and got some pics with the fire truck! Being a kid again was never so much fun.

Spring Florals

My Favourite thing right now is going for a walk along the water near my place and grabbing some delicious gelato from the local downtown shop. It's so beautiful and relaxing and with it only being a mater of seconds away from my house it would be a shame if I didn't take advantage of it. The weather has been so nice (maybe not so much today or yesterday) that I've been able to wear skirts even with the breeze that comes up from the water. I'm just waiting for all the festivals to begin - that's when it really starts feeling like summer.

That's what I'm talkin about."

More Pink & Aztec Love

I mentioned a couple posts ago that I had more looks to go with this pink mini skirt. I never thought I could combine so many things with it. Pretty good for a skirt I picked up on sale for $5 for a previous Halloween costume.

Traffic Orange

I picked up this shirt during the LouLou Magazine Shop Till You Drop event just a couple weeks ago. I do feel like one of those street crossing guards in it sometimes but the brightness of the orange just screams summer. I love anything brighly coloured - just seems to make you feel better. What are your favourite colours to wear?
