Leopard Clutch - Aldo
Shoes - Aldo 

Hello friends. How was everyone's weekend? Hubs and I were on Bowen Island enjoying a few blissful days with our dear friends. It's absolutely gorgeous there and I could have stayed forever!! We loaded up on yummy organic island food, spent much of our time sitting forest-side, and my personal fave?! Drinking red wine down by the ocean and listening to waves crash. Ah, hello bliss!

Meet my new favourite outfit. I've kind of been wearing it non-stop. Ruffles. Poufy floral print skirts. Leopard print accessories. Yes, these are all sure to be my new fall staples. I've been loving the look of floral & animal prints paired together lately; it's like they were made for one another. On a side note, I'm also dreaming of adding this gorgeous lauren elan bracelet to my fall must-have list. Gorgeous, right?! Enjoy your day guys. xo veronika

  18. Absolutely love this look! There's so many prints and textures yet it somehow all goes together perfectly. Your braid is adorable, you need to do a how-to because I've tried these milkmaid styles so many times and always fail. Sad I didn't get to see your beautiful face the other night but hopefully we can figure out something soon!

  32. You did such a great job of mixing these two prints, it looks like the most natural combination. The skirt is incredible, it has such a unique floral print, and I love how it's the lightest piece of the outfit.
    I might have said this before, but this is really one of my favourite outfits of yours!

    PS: Your hair looks great, you did such a good job with this hairstyle. I cannot make it stay up for the life of me :P

  44. Normally, I'm not a huge floral print person. However, this skirt is absolutely divine. I love the way you made it edgier with the animal print clutch and the black top.

  45. Your time on Bowen Island really does sound like bliss... I think drinking red wine by the sea might even help with my serious fear of waves and water :) You've come back looking refreshed and even more lovely than ever. This braided hairstyle suits you so well (not to mention that your braids are immaculate! How do you manage it?) And your new floral skirt has a retro vibe that I've fallen head over heels for- I would want to wear it all the time, too!
