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.

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.

Monochromatic Black

After spending a week in Toronto, I finally had the chance to do an outfit of the day for my blog. In the summer, I almost always wake up in the morning feeling like I'm not in the mood for pants. Please tell me that I'm not the only one. I paired my plain T-dress with a grungy vest to spice up the outfit. Bad mistake, it was so ridiculously hot that my T-dress was soaked in just under the 10 minutes that it took me to walk to work.

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!
