Crown on the Ground

H&M dress, Wilfred belt, Twenty8Twelve leather jacket,
Aldo heels, Club Monaco headband, vintage clutch


You may recognize this dress from the feature I did with Paul Melo of the amazing Vancouver street style blog StyleQuotient. It’s one of my absolute favourite pieces in my closet, and since I’ve been missing it so much, I decided to “winterize” it and bring it out to play.

I had the most amazing weekend! I was starting to feel really sick starting last Thursday and I so desperately needed to give myself a break. My brother was also home for the weekend, so it was great to spend lots of time with him and do all the weird things that only we enjoy, like watching Wayne’s World and singing along (in designated roles of course) to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. I feel way better now, which is perfect because I have an insane week coming up. The good news? Only 15 more classes left!!! Yeeeeee!

Hope all you lovelies had an amazing weekend (long weekend for my fellow Canadians)!

    This dress looks just as good in winter as it does in summer. And like Jessica said, the photos are beautiful!

    Glad to hear there is an end in sight to all your stressful days. Here's hoping this week isn't too rough for you.

    You did a great job on "winterizing" this outfit, you look beautiful! The dress is so pretty and the leather jacket gives the look a nice touch.

    Glad you had a wonderful weekend and that you are feeling better. Good luck this week!

    Ugh, I just wrote a long ass comment and blogger erased it. HATE when that happens! What I was trying to say, is that this dress is perfect to style up in the colder months with that leather jacket! And I love the headband on you, very feminine glam. Now that I'm back, coffee date? xo

    I love the feminine dress paired with the edgier jacket. And the head band! Great look all around.

    Your headband is Amazing. It's so beautiful that I was starring at your head for an entire minute. I'm not creepy I promise! I actually wore a similar outfit the other day. I have yet to post it but I am working on it!
    Cheers,

    You know I love you in this dress- every time I see you wear it, it makes me wish even more that I was just a few inches taller so it had suited me better 🙂 But clearly, it was meant to be yours. And I'm swooning over the pieces you've paired it with, particularly those booties, which I can only get a tiny glimpse of. Is that a hint of blue I see? And if so, are they recent? I might be in love 🙂 Hope you're having a lovely Monday, my darling. I'll be hunting The Hobbit down at the library shortly!

    I know I've commented before on that beautiful leather jacket but I'll say it again – what a great piece.

    But I must say, the item for me that does it here is your clutch – perfect!

    nothing like a bit of weekend silliness to put a smile on your face =).

    You look beautiful as always Alex!! I really like the addition of the jacket here; it makes this otherwise very classic and vintage outfit look modern.

    Because you look amazing!! Your dress is so girly and adding that biker leather jacket made me go "WOW"

    You look so gorgeous and feminine, Alex – I love how soft and pretty this dress is! I really liked how you styled it for the StyleQuotient feature, but I am especially adoring how this one has an edginess about it that I'm accustomed to seeing from you.
    Hope you're having a great week and having no sick feelings whatsoever!
