#ootd

i know i've been very fitness/whole 30/running orientated lately on this here little blog...yada yada yada right? ;) i hope it interests some people as it's becoming a bigger part of my life. people change ya know? & for me this is definitely a really good thing. great even.

however i still wear clothes...(imagine!) & so far this spring i've been wearing a ton of elastic waistband pants...yuuuup, it's happening & i've never been so damn comfy.

this outfit was definitely a step out of my comfort zone, sorta 

a/ there's colour in those camo pants (shocking!) b/ i'm wearing a pattern & several textures; pony hair flats, denim, wool, beads...crazy!)

beaded tank - F21

camo pants - american eagle

jean jacket - thrifted in high school (bluenotes though believe it or not!)

bowler - brixton

necklace - pyrrha

flats - alvin by sam edelman

knit tank - H&M

jacket - H&M (best $20 sale score!)

harem pants - skirt (local shop, also a $20 score!)

boots - grizz by steve madden (last fall)

necklaces - black&bronze

what are you guys obsessing over for spring? other than my ripped boyfriend jeans that i can really only wear in spring/summer (too cold for winter) i'm pretty tired of most of my jeans...i mean, sort of. i'll never tire of good denim but i'm really stoked that comfy loungewear type pants are 'in' right now because well, they're comfy as all hell & if i can get away with wearing them in public & them to be considered fashionable, i'll take it.

on other note// lately i've also been super obsessed with watching cover's on youtube from the bbc radio 'live lounge' i don't know what it is about covers, i freaking love them...especially pop songs sang slowly by someone like bastille or ben howard.

thrifty finds + a big day!

today was my day off, my first in six days (two of which were doubles) so it was much needed! i enjoyed my coffee and then decided to walk to lansdowne and do some shopping. took a quick trip around the mall (i try to avoid that place as much as possible) and then down to my favourite thrift store! i had so much luck, love that place!

found a bunch of records...awesome ones - all $3 or under...the above is the inside of the doobie brothers record, they sure know how to party!

i can never pass up cute floral pillowcases or towels - two of my favourite collections! (i'm pretty proud of myself for not picking up any mugs...another favourite collection of mine) i also scored that mexican-style table runner which i plan to DIY onto some jean shorts soon & those cute enamel pins for super cheap!

& i thrifted these little pretties for $3 too. i've been favouriting very similar styles on etsy but these ones were far cheaper! it's always nice finding something you've been looking for!

found this little gem in the fall at an antique market but have never shared it here before

that quilt is one of my favourite blankets, i was so happy when my mum passed it down to me!

and incase you were curious as to where i spend my days, this is the shoe shop i work in - cutest store in town!

well i hope you guys are enjoying your day! i just wanted to share a few bits of mine as i am completely enjoying it. today is the first day in about a week that the sun has come out too which definitely helped my mood! heading off now to make some dinner for myself & mikey & enjoy some red wine on the balcony! 

oh ya, tomorrow is kind of a big day for me...tomorrow i graduate you guys...eeeee!! my mum, dad, kyle, gramma & mikey will be there to see me walk across the stage to receive my diploma (!!!) then gramma is taking us for dinner. life is good you guys!

here's some of todays thrift finds. i kind of wanted to save the best for last but i'm just too excited!!

eeeee! isn't it amazing??
best part for sure, the price tag: $5!
(i clearly have yet to hang it...)

i also got these cute embroidered art pieces for $3, they fit into my favourite nook of our house perfectly...i love vintage emroidered art. they just don't make 'em like this anymore...or maybe they do and i've just never seen 'em
