{Details} Milly Vanilli...

New bags make everything better, even if I'm slightly scared to use this one for fear of ruining its perfectness... Metallic bags are beautiful yet oh-so fragile (I'm speaking from experience here people!), so I'm watching my every move (and denim encounter) where this Milly satchel is concerned. Apparently I can learn from my mistakes � RIP Betsey Johnson bag.

{Style} Forever Floral...

Sometimes Forever 21 just dazzles me... I'm trying to diversify my wardrobe and not buy everything from the fast-fashion giant anymore (look mom, I'm maturing!), but every now and then they put out a snazzy, unexpected little number that leaves me making mad-dashes for the checkout. Case in point. This peplum shirt/skirt combo has a certain Tibi quality to it that I couldn't resist (and speaking of Tibi, oh my gaaawd do I want this dress!), and did I mention that it was under $40 for the set? Colour me tickled.

But enough about me, how was everyone's weekend? I want details! xx

{Style} Brocade...

Now I know what you must be thinking: "Is she seriously posing in a dingy back alley AGAIN?!" But let's be real here ladies, sometimes a girl just finds herself in oddly placed stairwells, back alleys and the like... Nothing out of the ordinary in the world of blog photos, know what I'm sayin? Besides, they don't call it "street style" for nothing.

And now, allow me to draw your attention to my snazzy new shoes... Well, they're not exactly new anymore, but it's my first time wearing them since they arrived several, impossibly snowy months ago. Let's just say that my shoe addiction is steadily worsening.

Thanks for reading, friends! xx

{Details} The Clash...

Sometimes the greatest combos are the most unexpected, like, oh I don't know, a green-toned jungle print paired with a vibrant coral... Hypothetically, of course. But seriously now, there's just something about taking a couple opposites, throwing them together and just watching the dumbfounded looks on people's faces, you know what I mean? Cue the evil genius laugh... xx

{Style} Jungle Cat...

When Mr. AiF saw this outfit yesterday, he scoffed, asked if I was wearing Snookie's grandmother's jacket and started singing "beat that beat up." My fiance, ladies and gentlemen... I'll just leave you with that thought. xx

{Style} Pipe Dreams...

Sometimes nothing shows off polka dots quite like industrial pipes, which is probably why you're thinking to yourself, "Man those are some powerful dots" right now. In the off chance that you weren't thinking that (*ahem*), I forgive you. My friend Brittney on the other hand, not so much... You see, not only did she take these photos, but she serendipitously scouted the location as well. So take it from me, don't mess.

In other, less ridiculous news, Target finally opened it's bright red doors to its Canadian brethren yesterday, which prompted me to go a tad overboard in the clothing department. But with so much adorableness to choose from, I left the store feeling like I hit the jackpot... Or � if you prefer � the bullseye.

And finally, congratulations to Aishwariya for winning the Les Arts Plastiques giveaway! Woot woot!

{Valentine's Week} The Pants...

As I write this, I'm slowly coming down from a sugar-induced Valentine's day high (you don't even want to know how many macarons I've had today!), where lethargy and writers block are apparently the main side effects. Mr. AiF surprised me with some special treats, bubbly and a homecooked meal, and now I'm crashing... hard. So with that said, it's time to wrap this thing up, people!

Thanks for baring with me through all this (V-Day isn't for the faint of heart, after all), and I hope you guys have enjoyed reading these silly little posts as much as I have had creating them... Until next time, love bugs! xx

{Style Panel} Peplum & Polka Dots...

Peplum can be one of the most flattering, feminine silhouettes out there, but it can also be one of the least. Worn well (hello, Kate Middleton much?), it can yield diminutive waistlines and elongated figures. Worn poorly, and it can lead to exaggerated hips and unnecessary bulk. So what's the secret to finding the right peplum? Consider proportion. A flowy, understated version is the most universally flattering because it won't accentuate the hips, while solid colours or basic prints (think polka dots or simple stripes) can keep unwanted bulk at bay. Play with different styles and try different variations of the trend � be it in shirt, skirt or coat form � and you'll find the perfect fit for you in no time!

Bermuda, Bahama, Come on Pretty Mama...

Today is all about simplicity: basic bermudas, stripes and sandals topped with a panama hat to protect my little noggin from all that blaring sun... Because really, what more do you need on a hot summer's day? Oh yeah, that's right � ice cream. How could I forget...

Happy Thursday, lovelies! Stay cool and hydrated please.

Stripes With Pep...

Casual stripes get some added ooomph with a pop of peplum in this little Zara top � And the best part? I scored it for 15 big ones during their spring sale last week (which is probably still going on)...  I think that calls for a fist pump, don't you? xx
