In the Boho Blues

Thursday, 28 June 2012

Hey there!
One more day til the weekend! And this weekend is a long weekend, hooray! The best part about long weekends to me is that Jer & I get to plan a nice, relaxing, not-too-far, out of town getaway to really soak up our time off. This long weekend we are actually heading to wine country to not only sip on wine, but also to visit some of Jeremy's much-missed childhood friends. I am very excited to have a few days off and spend some quality time with Jeremy.




Enough about my weekend plans, onto the outfit! This is an outfit I really like because it has a causal boho feel to it without being sloppy or messy looking! I love that it is comfortable, airy and lightweight so a warm summer day without looking like just a plain tank top and jean shorts.
The sky-blue top is slouchy and easy to wear, pairing it with the belt gives the outfit more structure and shape though you can wear it without the belt for a more relaxed look. The white shorts are from American Eagle and they are a higher-waisted short that really hug all the right places without being too fitted or showy. Showy white shorts are never good!!!
I really love gladiator sandals and so I opted to match this outfit with my favourite pair! I bought them from Spring last summer and have loved them ever since. They are super comfortable and easy to wear around all day (sans blisters!) plus they match a multitude of outfits. Originally when I had bought them I worried they may not go with many outfits, but in-fact they go with dresses, shorts, jeans, rompers - everything!




The deep-navy blue purse is from She She and actually this was my mum's bag until I stole it (In reality she gave it to me, I am no thief!). The bag is really lovely, its over-sized and super soft making it a perfect casual day bag. (Thanks, mom!)
Then there is the ring (from Suzy Shier), a lovely little addition to this outfit that I feel really ties all the colours together in a fun, cute, & flirty way. I just love it!


Anyways, I saw this on a few blogs recently and I thought it was kind of cute, and a fun way for you all to get to know me a bit better! Hope you like it!


Favorite color: I love Green, mostly I love light minty greens.


Favorite number: I don't really have a favourite number, when I was young I liked 5 & 9 but I am not sure why....

Favorite animal: Penguins!!!




Favorite non-alcoholic drink: I like tea, I drink a lot of tea, and besides that I just usually drink water. But if I am going to cave and drink pop then it'll always either be Rootbeer or Gingerale - Yummy!

Facebook or twitter: Meh, neither? I have both but I wouldn't say I am overly into one or the other.

What is my passion: I think my biggest passion is travel. I haven't been to tons and tons of places but just thinking about going away makes me so excited. I sit on google for hours looking up places and discovering new destinations that I must see. Aside from that I love blogging, its a huge passion for me - I miss it when I can't do it! And then there is scrap-booking, another hobby that I love!

Receiving or giving: Though it can be lots of fun to receive things, I have always found it is much more fun to give - I love seeing the suprise and smiles on peoples faces when I give them something they really wanted or something they didn't know they wanted but they really love!

Favorite pattern: I am not sure, I really like brocade patterns, I love floral patterns,  and I love plaid - especially in the wintertime.... Why choose just one?

Favorite day of the week: Saturday!

Favorite flowers: I love all flowers really, especially pale pink, white and yellow flowers - they are just so lovely. Orchids are always beautiful, elegant and classy - they are definitely one of my favourites.

Hope you liked the outfit and enjoyed getting to know me a bit better!

One more day til the joyous weekend!!
