I was beyond excited to head into the city (any excuse to dress up, right?!) and meet up with my blogger friends for dinner & super yummy champagne. We were all there to toast our friend Alex of "To Vogue or Bust" on her internship at Toronto's FASHION magazine. Yay!! And oh my, it was such a beautiful evening to be out: late evening sun, cherry blossoms, and the most deliciously sweet smelling air. Ah, I've been in a perpetually fabulous mood!!
Earlier in the day, I took myself shopping and picked up this adorable H&M dress for our blogger dinner. I had so much fun... I visited Zara, Forever21, Banana Republic, Coach, and stocked up on make-up at Sephora. I was pretty overwhelmed by all the gorgeous spring items... mint hued lace, bold stripes, patent leather sandals and statement necklaces galore. Sigh. Let's just say my wish list is now ridiculously huge! ;)
Well today I'm busy, busy... I'm excitedly working on several new jewelry pieces for the online store. This past week I've been taking a wire wrapping course and learning a ton of new techniques, which has been loads of fun! I have so many wonderful ideas for the future and I can't wait to see the store grow - it's a creative project that I'm really excited to be working on. Alright friends, I'm off to plan my outfit for tonight's event at The
Bay downtown, where I'll be previewing their spring collection and catching up with my favourite bloggers. Happy Thursday! xo veronika

i have these tights! such a perfect color, love them with these shoes. this dress is so pretty, you look amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou look absolutely stunning from head to toe! I love that print on the dress and those tobacco tights - must get some!!
ReplyDeleteYou're so lucky that you get together with your local blog friends. I want to start doing the same thing with mine from Jersey and New York. It's such a shame to be this close and not get together more often. It has the potential to be the best time ever! :)
You Vancouver blogger ladies are so so gorgeous!! Such a fun meet up and sounds like you had an amazing day shopping

Sooo adorable! That dress looks great. I have it, but have yet to wear. But, now seeing u in it I may have to throw away as I could not do it justice. U really wear dresses well.
ReplyDeleteI completely dismissed this dress in store (not a paisley fan) but I completely want to try it after seeing you style it! :D
ReplyDeleteLove it with the leopard clutch!
veronika, you in that dress is perpetually fabulous! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the dress and brown tights, has a very 70's vibe. It was very clever to pair shoes and tights that were such a similar colour and create that long look on your legs.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoying your blog!
Raj
This is an H&M dress!!! The way you dolled it up I would've guessed a a much pricier brand. You are looking lovely as always. I love the color of your tights too!

cinnamon sensations okay! i loved getting to glimpse this outfit up close, you couldn't have been lovelier. the pink belt and clutch were the perfect bold accents plus that paisley dress was outta sight! so rad lades. i loved this whole graphically enhanced look.
ReplyDeleteas always, and under ANY circumstance it was amazing to see you. getting our visits in was tremendous and thank GOSH Sean didn't give Martin the evil parking stare down he usually sports while searching for a spot ;) baha! i was smackin' him in the arm to be sure, do our mothering tendencies ever die?! man alive, well in any event it was the best of times and also the bittersweet of times to let our Alex go....for a while. she's gonna wail on the T-dot scene and take over the fashion enviros, i have no doubt.
terrific shots you got Veronika, candids are always my faves. i didn't know about your recent course though, sounds like a great addition to your arsenal of awesome. xo ♥
Soooooooo cute!! I love those brown tights. Ugh. Yes please.

Such a gorgeous outfit for a girls' night out! Love that the dress is perfect for transitional weather. Your shopping trip sounds so fun! Sometimes the hardest part is deciding what NOT to buy... :)
ReplyDeleteWant, want, want every single piece in your outfit! And ugh, all of you Canada bloggers are so beautiful ❤
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with all things paisley, so I think this dress is just adorable. The colors are great, and the whole ensemble suits you perfectly :)

Love the dress - the pattern is so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love that dress so much! I actually *almost* bought it and then decided it was too pricey for that shopping trip! But now I regret it a little. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love this dress! I had no idea it was from H&M - it looks so expensive haha! I love the tights you paired with it too and the pop of colour from the belt. Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAww, this looks like SO much fun! And you look absolutely lovely. That dress is perfection!
ReplyDeleteIt was so lovely to have some catch-up time with my favourite bloggers last weekend, Veronika, and I'm so glad you were able to make it! I absolutely loved your paisley dress, too, and the pairing of brown tights are just perfection! Hope your week is off to a great start, my friend :)

Always adore getting the chance to catch up with you and swap crazy work stories! Particularly loved your outfit that night too, the bright pink belt was the perfect compliment to that printed H&M dress. And I don't know anyone who wears coloured tights as well as you do!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit was ment for you! It flatters your gorgeous figure so nicely and that tobacco colour would never be as cool on anybody else! LOVE the touch of neon pink!
ReplyDeleteYou ladies always make me wish I lived in Vancouver too :)
