Summer? Fall? I'm confused.

A short conversation I had with my mother today:
Me: Mom, it's sweater weather, you know what that means!
Mom and I simultaneously: BOOTS
I don't think I can properly convey the excitement in our voices. But trust me, it was very much there.
(We really like boots.)
Thrifted hat and shoes, Gap jacket, Gap t-shirt, Aldo necklace, H&M pants, Want Boutique ring
It's been a little hard these past couple of weeks with the weather not being able to make up its mind. So above is more of a fall outfit, while mine serves as a little "end-of-summer" get up. (By the way, we love these shiny pants, but they're super itchy. PAIN IS BEAUTY, I SUPPOSE.)
Urban Outfitters shirt and bralette, H&M vest
Arturo Chang heels (yes, Michelle, these are yours)
Thanks for stopping by!

Just a little bit of glitter.

I think we can all agree that not much beats getting dressed up. So it was exciting for us when we got to go in and try on some dresses at Maxi Boutique in Yorkville. We enjoyed chatting with the store owner, Elizabeth, and looking at the gorgeous dresses. We thought it was appropriate to upload this post in the spirit of TIFF, which is happening right now in our city. Although neither of us are going to some fancy TIFF party (so sad...), we like to think that if we were, we would wear dresses from this gorgeous boutique. Enjoy!

So can someone please buy me this dress? Thanks.

A good ol' girls day.

Last week we met up in Yorkville to do some shopping, have lunch, and visit a couple of my mom's clients.
We had the pleasure of going into a store called Kumari's, a bright little boutique which features a whirlwind of neatly organized pashminas in every colour, cashmere ponchos, and gorgeous, unique jewelry. If you're ever in Yorkville, make sure to hit up this super fun store. 
Visit kumaris.ca
Statement rings
My mom loved this stunning necklace made of turquoise 
Kumari's delicate black lace jacket
Next stop: lunch! At one of my favourite places to eat ever. Moroco is probably the cutest, most luscious little lounge I've ever experienced. And the food is just ugh amazing. 
Moroco Chocolate Boutique is heavenly

And then we shopped. We spent forever in Anthropologie... Honestly if that store was my closet I would not complain.
We thought this was appropriate.
Mom's adding this dress from Anthropologie to her lust list.
On mom: Joe Fresh dress, Michael Kors heels, Francesco Biasia bag, vintage hat and cardigan. On me: Brandy Melville shirt and bralette, American Apparel jeans, Roots bag, Toms shoes, Urban Outfitters sunglasses
Thanks for checking in! See ya,

Daughter, can I borrow this?

Here's something new! My mom's wearing my dress! (This is rare).
H&M jacket, The Bay hat, Stella & Dot necklace and earrings
Charlotte Russe dress

I really like this look because its youthful, sexy, yet still age-appropriate. I'm a big fan of khaki anything. Jackets, caps, pants, scarves - whatever! I especially love it teamed with black and gold bits, like this ensemble. I also have an affinity for animal prints and my favourite is leopard. These thin-strapped heeled Mary Janes are the perfect hint of energy.

Guess shoes
Aritzia sweater, Ron White necklace, Urban Outfitters sunglasses, bag purchased in Montreal
This dress was given to me by my best friend Michelle. It's so comfortable, it feels like I'm in pajamas when I wear it. 
See ya,
Taylor

Ruffles and lace.

Summer is almost over and I am already mourning hot lazy days and beach bonfires and going on adventures. But strangely enough, I'm anticipating fall. This never happens. I am usually such a summer enthusiast! But for some reason now I can't help but feel excited. I can feel change coming. I'm looking forward to seeing new places and getting to know new people. So I guess you could say right now I'm already in an autumn mindset... and I have to keep reminding myself that it's still hot out! It's still the right time for ruffled shirts and crochet shorts. So while I'm eagerly anticipating fall, here are some end-of-summer looks to remind you that it's not over yet!   
Old Navy shirt, Gap jeans, vintage clutch, Payless heels, American Eagle necklace
Urban Outfitters shorts, Aldo necklace
Aldo heels (and faded henna)

See ya,

LTD (Little Taupe Dress. Obviously.)

Wow! The support and encouragement we've received over the past couple days has been really amazing. Thank you to everyone who has been so kind about our little project. 

And with that, we are excited to give to you our first actual style post!

Forever 21 dress, Nine West heels, Adrienne Vittadini purse, Winners cardigan 
This is a dress I borrow constantly from my mom. It's such a pretty dress, and I love how my mom keeps it toned down with all neutrals. We love our neutrals, that's for sure. (Sometimes a little too much, actually. I occasionally have to remind myself that I'm 19 and it's okay to wear colour. But I digress.) 

She paired this look with stacked but delicate jewelry and loose wavy hair. (I am constantly suffering from blonde hair-envy.)
And then there's me:
Steve Madden boots, Urban Outfitters sunglasses, H&M necklace
I am obsessed with this necklace that I got from H&M for like 8 bucks. I could be wearing the most boring t-shirt, and then I put it on and it's like boom, I put effort into my appearance! Woo!
And I think it goes without saying that black combat boots are simply a necessity. 

A huge thank you to Sarah Dykes for taking these photos! Check out her blog: knowing-s.blogspot.ca 

See ya!
