For any who have traveled with me, they know that I don’t understand the definition of “packing light”. I pack spare of everything, for “just in case” and “what if” scenarios. I bring all electronics and appliances too, hair dryer, hair straightener, laptop, ipod, & NDS. There have been occasions where I bring only x number of outfits for x number of days, but I’ll end up getting a food stain on my shirt that necessitated a outfit change. Murphy’s Law! At least in NY…if I need new clothes I can buy more?

I purchased the Banana Republic Rosette Skirt on my Reading Week 2 weeks ago. It was kind of on the pricey side for CAD$74.99 (discounted from CAD$134), I thought the dress was pretty with the rosettes and I wanted to buy myself something nice to reward myself for making it to reading week. I intentionally purchased it to wear for semi-formal events but I wore it to school yesterday. You can tell from the photos its actually more of a gold, not copper.

Just a quick review of the items I picked up during my travels, and some other recent ones since coming back to Toronto. Overall, I purchased items that I felt I was either missing while also essential for my work/school wardrobe, and tried to focus on items unique and different as well.
From San Francisco (read about my trip here), outside the Ferry Building, there were various local vendors, I thought this item was pretty unique.

In my last 2 days in Halifax, I made it a couple of must-see tourist sites. First stop, Public Gardens. Ok it wasn’t that impressive, most of the flowers were dried up. However, the gardens had a really nice vibe and enjoyable atmosphere. It was Sunday and Haligonians were in the park listening to a band playing.

A couple weeks ago I drove out to Montreal with a friend to visit an old colleague that was in town visiting family. I love visiting Montreal. French food, wine, and a lively nightlife.
Old Montreal..I love the old architecture and cobblestone roads. I love sitting around in patios and just people-watch.

This month’s challenge is hosted by Gracie of Radiator Sessions.
May’s Challenge: “Spinning The Favorite”
Many times we settle with a style and rarely venture out to explore new ways to piece clothes and style outfits in new and different ways. With this month, I’m hoping for all of us to venture out of our comfort zones to expand our styling skills.
Thus, the challenge will be to take a “go-to” outfit, put a spin on it by styling it in a different way but still keeping a couple of essential components.
If changing up the your signature style is too great of a feat or if your closet just doesn’t quite allow it, you can keep within your signature style but tweak a few items to transform your outfit for a different occasion.

My sister and I had two hours to kill while waiting for our table at a popular restaurant downtown, so we headed over to Winners to browse. I saw this blue jersey and with a silk overlay in front. I fell in love with it, the shade of blue was perfect and the silk overlay was beautiful. It looked like an item I could wear on a casual weekend outing or evening a night out on the town.
