Skeletons in my Closet


Denim leggings: Denimocracy: t-shirt: Alternative Apparel, sneakers: Lacoste, cardigan: Topshop, necklace: Forever 21, sunglasses: Oliver Peoples, belt: Danier.

I happened to be shopping with my mom when I purchased these jeans earlier this year. She didn't feel the same way about them that I did and she told me they were 'skeleton pants'. Her dislike for them didn't bother me; I bought them anyway because they are super comfortable and fun. On this occasion I paired them with my new fisherman cardigan, pink Lacoste sneakers, and a peacock necklace from Forever 21. It's a bit of a random outfit, but I think it's all part of the fun of experimenting with personal style!

Movie Mania


Blazer: Urban Outfitters (Silence and Noise), Tank: Target, Jeans: J Brand, Shoes: Steve Madden Melrow, Headband: Target, Handbag: Louis Vuitton, Necklace: Hilary Druxman, Watch: Citizen.

When I got back from Vegas I found a nice surprise in my mailbox: my new J Brand jeans that I ordered from HauteLook. I couldn't resist putting them on to head to the movies Saturday night. I had been eyeing this particular pair for months but for some reason hadn't bought them. When they turned up on HauteLook, I snapped them up for a fraction of the original price. This is the first pair of Japanese Twill J Brands I've owned, and I must say, they are extremely comfortable! I definitely will have to check out their other Japanese Twill jeans in the future.

Online Shopping Guide Part I

Online shopping with shopping cart

Being from a medium sized city in Western Canada that isn't exactly known for its fashion and abundance of shopping options, I do 90% of my shopping online. I like to have unique looks without running the risk of seeing someone in the exact same outfit that can be picked up at one of the few malls in the city. That being said, many American online stores are starting to recognize us Canucks north of the border and are offering affordable shipping to Canada. Over the next little while I am going to compile a list and review for some of my favourite online shopping sites that ship to Canada. Below is one of my favourites.



What can be better than hundreds of designers in the same place, helpful customer reviews, online coupon codes, great customer service and free shipping to Canada? Not much in my opinion. Revolve Clothing is my go-to website for denim, accessories, shoes and apparel. Whenever I hear about the newest denim craze, the first place I look is at Revolve because they are sure to have it. Revolve's site is easy to navigate; with options to shop by brand, category, sale items, new items and trends. Revolve is customer friendly in the way that it allows customers to create honest reviews on their products, which is very helpful for me when I'm not able to go to a physical store to try on a item. Revolve even has an outlet called Reverse where you can find their designer clothing for less. I must also mention that Revolve has incredible customer service. I have ordered from them handfuls of times and only once have I had to contact them regarding an order. An item was bagged incorrectly and I received the wrong denim leggings. I emailed Revolve with photos of the incorrect item and an explanation and they responded to me within 1/2 hour with a solution. They paid for the return shipping and I received the proper item within a week and a half. Be sure to check out Revolve for your next online shopping fix. They stock new items daily so there is always something new. Don't forget to look online for coupon codes!
