currently craving..
Color Palette
I recently just went on a bit of a shopping spree and I began to notice a serious trend. My color palette doesn't veer off path to often.. All of my purchases were similar in texture, color and fit. Each item offering its own uniqueness and charm of course. I am now currently LOVING soft, simple and classic color palettes. Think of Lauren Conrad's effortless yet stylish blog posts that are airy and sweet. Or the classic yet stylish effect of J.Crew and Club Monaco. I am really into soft, loose fitting pieces that can be worn layered over cute leggings, or tucked into dressy skirts or shorts. I especially LOVE the item if it offers a delicate stitch, pearl button, or any other intricate feature. Some of the colors I am really into are soft pinks, cremes, greys, nudes or any soft color. Enjoy the photos! They are continuously my inspiration these days!
Summer Reads
I have found that this summer has provided the lower mainland with far to many rainy days, opposed to the expected hot and sunny beach days. On one rainy day in particular, I was suckered into running a few errands around town for my mom, one included dropping some books off at the local library. Now, myself personally, am rarely found inside a library of any kind, let alone reading books. However, on that dreary and depressing day, I decided to give it a chance.. To my amazement (gasp) there was actually some pretty decent books that caught my attention... who would have guessed I would ever be interested in any form of literature other than fashion magazines, facebook or online blogs? I signed up for a library card (huge geek) and I literally walked out with close to fifteen books... I am now hooked. I read every chance I can! Ahhh thank goodness for all the rain we are experiencing this summer, otherwise I may have felt guilty for reading so much!
1. Skinny Bitch- Rory Freedmand and Kim Barnouin
2. No One You Know-Michelle Richmond
3. True Whit-Whitney Port
4. InStyle The New Secrets of Style
5. Sweet Little Lies-Lauren Conrad
6.Sugar and Spice-Lauren Conrad

10. Beachcomers-Nancy Thayer
11. Coco Chanel-The Legend and The Life-Justine Picardie

All of these books are absolutely amazing. They are all perfect summer reads. Fashion, healthy living, sappy romance, mystery, Coco Chanel..need I say more? I`ll write a follow up post on all these books when I'm finished!! Whenever that is..

Saying Goodbye..
Rediculously talented singer Amy Whinehouse was found dead in her apartment building over this past weekend. It is very sad as she was both a talented and unique individual. E! Entertainment has posted this inside story:
Her voice was special and captivating and her songs were easy to listen to and catchy, Amy will be missed.

So, it is safe to say that I am not the greatest blogger around. I always end up spending my time looking at all of the other amazing blogs online, instead of putting the effort and spending time really working on mine. Well, all of that is going to change..starting.. now! Starting this week, I am aiming at writing one to three blogs, about fashion, lifestyle, what Ive been up to, or anything that comes to mind. Be prepared!!!!
