Look Book: Vintage Inspired Skirts & Forest Walks

Sep 7, 2011

Today was one of those perfect days! My hair was co-operating. I didn't stand in front of my closet (forever) wondering what to wear. And even though fall is just around the corner, it was delightfully hot, sunny and just plain gorgeous! Hubs and I spent the day roaming around our forested neighbourhood where we found a lovely patch of yummy blackberries and this new to us ocean-side trail, then ended our day snuggled on the couch catching up on a few of our fave TV shows. Yay!


I bought this oh-so adorable skirt from ModCloth earlier this year and I have re-styled it a few times already. If you guys are curious, you can check out my other versions here: early spring and late spring! And, ta-da, now I’ve styled it up for summer. Also, drum roll please... I’ve finally purchased my first pair of Jeffrey Campbells. Yipee! I ordered the splendid heels in tan; they should be arriving at my doorstep any day now -the countdown is on!! I keep doing a little dance around the house! Haha, I’m like a kid at Christmas ...apparently I’ve lost it.


And in other blogging news?! I’m so thrilled to be back to my usual “two per week” outfit post schedule. Phew, life got a little hectic this summer. Anyone else? And speaking of posts, I’ll be back tomorrow with a fabulous giveaway. I’m actually hosting four amazing giveaways for the month of September. Yay, it’ll be so much fun! Oh, and just a quick shout out to my hubby too; he landed a role on an episode of (Warner Bros) Supernatural! SO happy for him!! Happy Wednesday guys, & see you tomorrow! xo

Necklace - Aldo (old)

    And yes! Summer is crazy! It's ridiculous! I really need to get back into the habit of reading and commenting lots.

    Oh! I want a pair of Jeffery Campbells so badly! There are a couple pairs that are just so gorgeous!! Maybe if I get my camera for birthday/Christmas I'll ask for a pair for my graduation next spring. <3

  5. Effortless days brimming with love and good feelings. I could use some of those. You do look Stunning, the skirt reminds me of the Springtime.

    I always Envy your perfectly kept hair. Does it ever knot? My hair is knot-thirsty. I can't go two days without bunches of knot tails, ugh!

    Love your blog. So pretty.

    (^.^) hope to hear from you - love

  33. The woody setting is so very complimentary to your bohemian style, V! You look stunning as usual :). he-he ... I am the SAME way when I order something online ... I count down the days until it arrives on the doorstep and when it does I rip open the package ASAP {sometimes forgoing a greeting to the hubs ... poor thing :)}

    Can't wait to see your new shoes!

  35. Gorgeous photos, outfit, and scenery. (: I've got some packages coming for me (books, CDs, and some wardrobe items) so every time I come home from work and find a package I get excited, hehe. I'll have to keep an eye out for your man since I watch Supernatural (though that show was SUPPOSED to end two seasons ago...) Here's to our last few weeks of summer!

  51. Wow! It sounds like you've had all kinds of excitement in your world! First of all, congratulations to Martin on his role! I'll be sure to download all of the episodes he's in, just to see if I can spot him, even though I don't follow supernatural :) Secondly, I love seeing this skirt in its summer incarnation, particularly because of the beautiful necklace you've paired it with. I have a weakness for coral necklaces, and yours certainly does not disappoint!

  55. One of my favourite looks of yours for sure. Seriously, whatever you did with your hair, I'm loving it. It looks so healthy and thick and lustrous. The location you shot this in is unreal too, so beautiful and perfectly sets off the wonderful pattern-play and colours in this look. Congratulations to your man too, that is incredible! Let us know when it airs, I'll be sure to watch it :)
