Back Slit Breeze

P came down to visit me with some friends last weekend, and ended up staying through the whole week. Our anniversary happened to be on the day that he was to leave, so we spent his entire last day together exploring the city and doing different things. For the first time in over a week, it was sunny with a slight breeze, so I wanted a chance to appreciate the great weather with a nice slit back tank that I picked up from Aritzia's Snooze or Loose end of summer sale. Paired with my favorite metallic flats and slouchy knit pants, my outfit was perfect for staying comfortably in style while walking for 4-5 hours around the city.

Pajama Shorts

In the humid Canadian summers, I tend to gravitate towards breezier pieces of clothing, particularly silk shorts. They may look like pajama shorts but it doesn't really matter in weather this hot. As long as it's comfortable, it's going to be worn. One of the things that I miss the most about being a lifeguard is to be able to waltz around all day in a swim suit. I do enjoy the new found freedom of being able to dress up everyday though and wouldn't trade it up for a swim suit.

July LustListt

I know I'm pushing it a little bit late here with the LustListt for this month, but better late than never right? I've been feeling a little bit sporty chic this month with comfortable but fashionable pieces. I'm loving all of the boxy silhouettes and sexy cutouts in unexpected places. The vibrant pops of color against a clean white slate makes the designs stand out against a fresh palette.

1. Textured Weave Top (H&M) - $39.95
   This textured crop top would look great with a pair of loose silk shorts. Oh what's that, do we spot a super cute pairing below? If shorts aren't your thing, try a neoprene flared midi skirt for a feminine silhouette.
   
2. Decker Hat (Aritzia) - $35.00
   Baseball hats are popular again, but to stay ahead of the league (no pun intended haha), try rocking a leather version.
   
3. Montrouge Shorts (Aritzia) - $42.50
   I've been dying to get my hands on a pair of these silk crepe shorts and if I could snatch the textured weave top pictured above it, it would make the perfect outfit.
   
4. Short Floral Print Blazer (Zara) - $49.99
   The linen construction of the blazer makes it the perfect boxy cut over slinky tank. Pair it with matching shorts for a more office appropriate look or baggy shorts for a street chic style.
   
5. Cut-out Back Top (H&M) - $29.95
   A giant keyhole cutout in the back would be perfect way to display a sneak peek of a cute sports bra. Take a cue from #7.
   
6. Crêpe Top (H&M) - $39.95
   The contrasting piping adds a sleek touch to this simple but feminine white to. Paired together with a pair of black shorts and baseball cap and you'll be ready for a perfect summer's day.
7. Rasa Bra (Aritzia) - $30.00
   I've had this bra on my radar for the longest time ever. If only I didn't have the ittiest bittiest titties then it would fit me perfectly. But hey, a girl can lust right?
8. Poppin' Signature Pen (Chapters) - $14.00
   Okay, yes, this isn't fashion but I do write a lifestyle blog. Writing utensils are essential to a blogger when planning out posts and creating content so I couldn't leave out this cute white pens.

September LustListt

With Fall just around the corner, my tendency in September is to pull for lots of leathers and jewel tones. Evidently with the grand opening of Target across Ottawa tomorrow morning, featured on my LustListt this month is the 3.1 Phillip Lim Satchel. Much like the shape of his coveted Mini Pashli Satchel that retails for $650 CAD, this retails for $34.99. At such a steal, I can't help but NEED this in my closet. It's about time I expand my purse collection beyond the neutrals anyways. I had the chance today to see in person up close the quality of the entire 3.1 Phillip Lim collection and the price points are literally on point. Although the purse is not constructed of leather, the polyurethane is thick and buttery soft. The warm mustard tone personifies the colors of fallen leaves which further pulls that Fall feeling into my wardrobe. Now to set my alarm clock for 5 AM in order to wake up on time for the Blogger Breakfast and line-up for my satchel!

1. Felt Cap - H&M | $14.95
2. Leather Pointed Ankle Boot - Zara | $99.00
3. Wilfred Coquette Scarf - Aritzia | $85.00

Long Overdue Post

Hello world! I have most definitely neglected my blog in the past year. As an apology, I will restart today and promise to update at least once a week! For the re-start, I'll post an outfit that I wore last week. As much as I promise to post on a minimum once weekly, I may every once in awhile skip over a week. My work/school/sleep schedule is really ridiculous this semester so I'm trying to find ways to balance it all out by sleeping any waking moment I have. I hope you enjoy my post for the day! I'll definitely be back within a few days for another post!
