Mini Vacations, Thrifting, And Summer Staples...

Jul 4, 2011

  {TOP: THRIFTED, SKIRT: H&M, NECKLACE: MADE BY ME, SHOES: H&M, CLUTCH: LOUIS VUITTON

Tanning by the pool, eating, thrifting, and napping ...what more could a girl want?! I had such a lovely mini vacation you guys, and I can’t wait to do it again. I’m absolutely certain that Vancouver is the most amazing place to be in the summer. I’m so in love with the mountains, ocean, and everything is so lush and green. Love it!!

Speaking of lush and green, hubs and I found this adorable path by our home. We were surrounded by trains, chirping birds and the sweet smell of blossoms. It was such a relaxing & private spot for outfit photos. I can’t wait to go back!

And as for the outfit? I adore my newly thrifted top! I’ve already worn it several times ...with skinnies, denim shorts and now with my skirt. It’s just so easy to throw on and adds instant colour to my outfit. I’m sure it will become my new summer staple. Hope your Monday is a fabulous one. xx veronika

    I'm loving the top. I can't believe you thrifted it! It looks so modern. And like you said, it adds a perfect amount of color.

    P.S. Have I ever told you how in love I am with your bangs! Swoon!

    I always love seeing your thrifted pieces, Veronika- you find such lovely things, it inspires me to look harder when I'm thrifting myself :) That H&M skirt is the perfect neutral match for the bold print. I actually had the same one in a less neutral shade and returned it, but seeing it look so fabulous on you is making me regret that! Looking forward to seeing you on the weekend :)
