Sunday Outfits & Late Lunch Dates...

97 comments / outfits
{SCARF & JACKET: H&M, DRESS: DYNAMITE, JEGGINGS: CITIZEN OF HUMANITY, SHOES: JOE FRESH}

Presenting... my weekend uniform! I jokingly mentioned in Friday’s post that I wanted to style my pajamas, due to extreme fatigue. This is however a close second. Layers, stretchy skinnies, and long tunics (or dresses) are my fave go-to look, for when I have comfort on my mind.

I’m also still managing to work the layers... this is due to the fact that Vancouver is currently having weather commitment issues. But I’m not complaining. I’m a layers girl through and through, so I will hold on to my tights for as long as I can. AND in other over-the-weekend news? I indulged in a HUGE ModCloth shopping spree, ate yummy Chinese food, and forgot to exercise. Although, with swimsuit weather just around the corner, I need to get on it!!

And sending bloggy hugs to the lovely Alexandra of “To Vogue or Bust” for featuring me in her recent post, “Hometown Glory.” And a BIG thank you to "24 Blogazine" for featuring me alongside some of my fave Vancouver fashion bloggers in their "BFF gallery!" xx veronika

{JACKET: THRIFTED, BELT: MODCLOTH, SKIRT: BETSEY JOHNSON, TIGHTS: JOE FRESH, CLUTCH & SHOES H&M}

Hello friends! It’s been one of those crazy whirlwind weeks. I officially worked way too many hours -wow!! Upside? I got through it. I plan to re-charge tonight with a delicious dinner, bubble bath, and a glass of wine.

Ok, let’s talk clothes shall we?! I was beyond thrilled to find this Betsey Johnson skirt at a local thrift store. I was immediately smitten with the fit & pattern and I knew she had to be mine. Oh, and the best part? The skirt was only $5!! Yes, I’m doing a little dance right now. I can’t wait to pair my new skirt with bright hues for spring and play around with some more pattern mixing -of course!

Hey... did you guys know that I have naturally wavy hair? Yup I do and when life gets too busy it’s my go-to hairstyle. And a BIG thank goodness that blogger is back up! Did anyone else have blogging withdrawal? Happy Friday. xx veronika

Easy Summer Dresses, Cameras, and Boys...

{DRESS: OLD NAVY, PENDANT (OLD): URBAN OUTFITTERS, SHOES: H&M}

Hello lovelies, look at that weather! Before you get “weather envy,” please note that it has actually been raining all week. We had one great weather day, which caused me to run outside like a blogging maniac, with camera and husband in tow! Yay for patient boys.

I’m absolutely in love with this location. Isn’t it the cutest? I adore moss covered trees, pillowy grass, and blue skies. Total magic. I’m also smitten with easy summer dresses. Anyone else with me? I might be guilty of what I like to call "no brainer dressing." Example? Well, this outfit went a little something like this... Grab dress. Put on shoes. Walk out door. Sweetness!!

And as for other non-related fashion news? I’ve been on a condo spring cleaning marathon. I have traded in my heels, belts and adorable dresses... for gloves, Vim and sweats! Happy Monday!! xx veronika

Another beautiful day! Yay! I can hardly wait for sunny days to become a regular thing. I’m excited to be back in our pool, running around with my camera, and enjoying picnics with the hubs. Total summer bliss! Hubs and I spent the afternoon scouring adorable little shops and picking up new accessories for our condo. So fun.

As for the outfit? I was thrilled to receive this gorgeous skirt from Alainn Bella for review. I absolutely love it! The skirt is lined with a cotton blend lining which is extremely soft and fabulously comfortable. I was also thrilled because it's the perfect length. I’m 5’ 9” and always happy to find skirts that leave me feeling appropriately covered. It’s such a lovely wardrobe staple. I can’t wait to remix it again!

And bonus! Alainn Bella is kindly offering a 15% discount (excluding sale items) to all Girl & Closet readers. Just use the promo code: “girlandcloset” at checkout. Happy shopping!! Hope you guys are having a fabulous Thursday! xx veronika

City Eats & A Blogger Meet-up... Part Two

{TOP: DYNAMITE, BELT & SKIRT: MODCLOTH, TIGHTS: MODCLOTH, SHOES: JOE FRESH}

It’s official, I love doing blogger meet ups! I was so excited that the gals wanted to do a follow up to our first. I was also thrilled to know that we were adding a new face to the group, the gorgeous Alicia of “Alicia Fashionsita.” I’m a devoted reader of her blog and I was so ecstatic to meet her. In addition to Alicia, I met up with the original three lovelies... Alexandra of “To Vouge or Bust,” Cee of “Coco & Vera,” and last but not least, Lynn of “Hearted Girl.”

We met up last weekend at the funky Chill Winston in Gastown, where we enjoyed fabulous vegetarian appetizers along with some equally yummy wine. Our conversations flowed freely as we chatted about blogging, relationships, fashion, and our beautiful city. It’s amazing to think that we have become such quick friends.

After lunch, we headed out into the streets of Gastown and did what we do best: wave our cameras, laugh, pose, and take some snaps. My husband came down to meet us and patiently took group shots with each girl's camera. Can you say sweetheart?! Needless to say, there will be a part three and I’m already counting down the days... xx veronika
