Colligate Cuteness

Being back at school makes me want to dress casual, but cute and put together. Here are some casual cute preppy colligate looks that I love.


This cute plaid shirt from the Gap is so easy to wear with jeans. It's lumberjack meets girly withe the puff sleeves and ruffles.



This cute cableknit cardigan from Old Navy makes me think of someone named Muffy or Buffy at the country club playing golf. Perfectally classic. And warm.



I'm also loving the sweater dress this fall and this one from Banana Republic is no exception.

Happy Birthday To Me

So I am turning 21 on Friday and seeing as there is no boyfriend to buy me expensive gifts, I do that for myself. This year I went all out and splurged.



This cute little BCBG top (like I need another navy top) is great for fall. I can wear it on the warmer days by itself, or cooler days with a jacket. Even in winter if I pair it with a long sleeve t-shirt it works.



My purse of the year (this year it's two) This lovely Micheal Micheal Kors shoulder bag is great. It's just big enough to fit my books for school so it does double duty. Mines in a more chocolate brown rather than the tan shown here.

I also got myself a new leather jacket for fall shown here from danier. The leather is so supple and soft <3 and the buttons have a cool crest on them with lions.

Needless to say I spoiled myself thoroughly.

Back To School Shopping : Part Three

Because I hate wearing contacts and I have a new obsession with eyeglasses I thought I should get a new pair for back to school.


These purple ones from Furla are great. They play to my funky side and I love how they add flair to boring outfits.



Not new but I can finally use this (I have to hide some of my purchases when I'm living at home during the summer) the Coach Legacy Slim Tote I was coveting earlier this year. It fits my laptop plus all my other stuff.



I finally got around to checking out Forever 21 (which just opened in Canada this summer) and this cute little top caught my eye. I like the hearts and the pockets.

That's it so far! I sure do spoil myself.

Back to School Shopping : Part Deux

Things I don't have pictures of yet: A cute purple striped sweater from RW&Co, a Gorgy grey tweed bell sleeve jacket from Joe Fresh, and a Blue and Cream striped sweater featured in Wish Magazine from Joe Fresh (don't you hate it when websites don't have what you bought on them?)



What's back to school without new makeup? I picked up Chanel's Glossimer Lip gloss in the lovely shade of Praline Giggle (which is the exact shade of my lips!)



Yet another 3/4 length cable knit sweater from gap, but in grey.



A girl can never have to many pairs of jeans, and these Olivia fit by Mavi are great. I have them in a darker wash then shown, but they are just perfection.

Back To School Shopping : Part One

Don't you just love it when you've worked all summer to pay for tuition and textbooks and you still have a grand or two left over? If you work as much as I did this summer you sure do! Starbucks may not be glamorous but it does pay well. I couldn't resist when I saw these two cuties at coach.


so cute and easy to mix and match with my larger striped one.



Mum picked me up this lovely Micheal Micheal Kor's watch on her trip to NYC (as well as an adorabel top but I can't find pictures of it)



I love fine knit tops and this one from Jacob is no exception. I own it in grey, and it's great for layering because it doesn't add bulk and at $39 who can resist?
