This was the first weekend of summer weather- warm with a light breeze, golden sun, and mild evenings. It was so perfect. I went to the antique market for the first time this year which is one of my favourite things to do on the weekends.

It's been a long time since I laughed in a movie as much as I did during Bridesmaids. Not only is Kristen Wiig a comedic genius (a long established fact) who is brilliant in this movie, but her character has an amazing wardrobe. It's rare to see a movie character wearing such stylish, current clothing and pieces that look like they came from a real woman's closet. I loved the small details, like how she always had red nail polish and wore the same jewelry throughout the entire film- a delicate gold necklace with a small pendant, skinny gold rings on a few different fingers, and a bracelet on her left wrist. The stripes, summer dresses paired with various blazers, comfy tops and jeans are all perfect, and I've been finding myself blatantly copying some her outfits this week. Here are some pieces to achieve a similar look:
To summarize- Kristen Wiig is amazing, and you have to see Bridesmaids not only for the hilarity and great story but also for the clothes.
Oh and in case you haven't seen yet- J.Crew just released their June 2011 catalogue and it's almost too good to be true. It always makes my day (okay let's be honest- week) when their new catalogue comes out every month :)
Have a nice weekend and Canadians- have a great May 2-4!
After seeing this great streetstyle image from Elle.com I've been very intrigued by the pairing of apricot or light peach with green- particularly mint- shades. In theory it sounds just wrong, but in practice, as seen here, I think they look really great together. Here is my take on the combo:
The genius of J.Crew never ceases to amaze me. They have an unparalleled ability to make me completely change my opinion on styles, clothing items, and colours. Never a fan of orange, I found myself entranced by these images in this series featuring the gorgeous ladies Lauren Hutton and Mirabelle Marden. I fell in love with this men's sweatshirt and its faded orange colour. While in California, I luckily found the sweatshirt in my size J.Crew- it was the last one in the store and keeps selling out online! It is so perfect, I love it. Here are some other items in this lovely hue:
I love how J.Crew styles the sweatshirt with light denim and stacked bracelets, and that's how I've been wearing it.
