simple stripes

I'm so sorry it's been so long since I've posted - last week was band camp (my last one ever!), and considering I was hot and sweaty everyday, I figured an outfit post would just not be a good idea. Ha!

Today was my first free day in a while, and I spent it with some of my best friends. We went to my favourite coffeeshop and talked about lipstick and the coming fall days over steaming mugs of coffee. I also found a secret drawer in one of the tables known as the "drawer of inspiration", and left a handwritten copy of my favourite poem by Charles Bukowski, An Almost Made Up Poem.

The weather wasn't incredibly hot, so I slipped on a tee with my capris. It was comfy and casual, which is usually what I opt for.

Do you like simple outfits, or would you rather wear something that isn't so plain? Let me know! xx

bonjour & boyfriend jeans

Of course at this point, you've probably realized that I have an endless amount of grey t-shirts. And booties. It's hopeless, really. I love colour, it just doesn't tend to pop up in my wardrobe very often (although I really am working on that).

Today the weather was cool and hinting at fall. I threw on a pair of boyfriend crops and a tee, and headed out. I love the idea and look of boyfriend jeans. I think they're so refreshing after seeing so many tight pieces.

With the sun on our faces, my friend and I took a walk to the lake. It was gorgeous, and it's easy to lose yourself in the blue waves and sky. I can hardly believe that summer has gone by so fast, and it's a little sad, but mostly exciting. I always forget how much I love fall, but there really is so much to look forward to - pretty leaves, pumpkin patches, late nights around campfires, hot chocolate, cozy sweatshirts. It's one of my favourite times of the year. <3

What do you think about boyfriend jeans? Would you rock them or would you rather stick to skinnies?

neutrals

Today consisted of many hours of adventuring with two of my closest friends. After spending way too much money shopping (my obsession with buying shoes and lipstick never fails to amaze me), we went out for some early supper and then later, some amazing cookies. And I mean amazing. My friend directed us through the streets of downtown to a small but totally delicious cookie shop. I ended up getting the peanut butter cup one, and it was ridiculously good. Gooey and rich, just the way it should be.

I ended up wearing all neutrals for the day, asides from my bubblegum pink nails. I tend to lean towards a minimalistic style, which some people might find boring, but I think is very fresh. I'm probably a little too excited about my new camel-coloured booties, which I picked up at Express last week. I just think they're perfect for transiting from summer to fall.

lately

Lately I've been exploring city streets with my friend, staying up late, eating (more) macarons, laughing around campfires, struggling with my messy hair, listening to Lana Del Rey, and taking lots and lots of photos.

It's hard to believe summer is over halfway over, but I've been trying to make the most of it. I'm excited to see what the colder weather of fall brings, and the changes it brings with it. For now though, I'm going to spend time with my friends under the hot summer sun and enjoy being carefree.

How has your summer been? Have you been on any adventures or tried something new?
