Aaaagh I can’t believe it’s Friday already! I am officially one week from heading back home to Vancouver to see my fam, dog, friends and city. I have so much to do in the next week, it’s a bit ridiculous, but transitions are always pretty packed!
Anyway, the lovely peacock feather nail art I’m sporting here is thanks to the new China Glaze nail apps from Nail Polish Canada. To be completely honest, before putting them on I wasn’t exactly sure how I felt about them: I liked nail art and all, but I was worried these would be like stickers and peel off within a day. Well, any reservations I had about them quickly dissipated because they feel and look like real nail polish on, there’s zero dry time, they are easy to apply, boast adorable designs and last but definitely not least, they have staying power! I’ve had mine on for five days now and no chipping/flaking at all. I’m absolutely horrendous with manicure maintenance so I have a feeling these may be my new go-to’s from now on, especially after receiving tons of compliments over the span of the week (and anyone who knows me well knows how susceptible I am to praise). Anyway, you can check out all of Nail Polish Canada’s range of nail strips here!
These adorable lace shorts from Foster Bay have quickly become staples too: I wore them obsessively when I was at Osheaga. Comfy and feminine…win-win!
Also, KV BIJOU, one of my favourite jewellery designers (and fellow Canadian!) is hosting a Facebook contest – if any of you’re also a fan of the brand and own KV BIJOU pieces (like the beautiful Grace necklace I’m wearing here), mosey on over to the contest page and upload a pic of you wearing your favourite KV BIJOU piece. The grand prize is $100 in jewellery!
This weekend I’m really intent on getting to all the things I’ve loved most about the city since I won’t be back right away…the pool, the market, Distillery District, etc. I am going to hopefully fill the weekend to its brim with all my Toronto faves. Hope you all have an amazing weekend yourselves 🙂

what a gorgeous summer outfit- so crisp! a perfect take on the "all white" trend.
ALSO- so stoked to hear that about the polish. I've been so apprehensive to try nail stickers, but 5 days is pretty impressive. I'll have to check these out!!
I definitely like your nails! They look so cute!
I must say that I fall in love of your lace shorts!!! I want one for myself!! 😀

well lades, we certainly do have a shared vision about running to the ocean! whether it's a metaphor for coming back to Van or just aching to get down to the beaches in T-dot – being by the water is the BEST thing ever!!!! can't wait for your return, lots to catch up on for sure.
sounds like you'll be making the most of your last week there though, enjoy every minute of it!
you've manifested a look as lovely as can be here, the soft shade of your blouse and delicate lace really look great together. an exciting addition with your nail art too, love the pattern. happy Sunday sweetness. xo ♥

Love how easy breezy this look is with touches of nice details in the nails and the necklace. All complemented by a casual colour palette and those lace shorts are amazing! I can see how you'd wear them all the time . Also, welcome almost-back to Van!
