I haven't looked back

Hey guys! (This seems to be my semi official “opening line” every time …haha) ..I must say that I am enjoying the weather we have been having here in Toronto and the fact that I don’t need to venture out in a big puffy coat every morning! We are going into the twenties this week (degrees Celsius that is) – Looks like summer is nearing …yay!!

you know what that means? Spring cleaning …I have already started “purging” my closet… I would not necessarily say that I need a closet “update” as I already have SO many clothes its just a matter of weeding out what I still use from what I have not used in over a year (and there is a lot …trust me) … I will definately be giving away a lot to friends, selling some of it, and making donations…I feel like I need to start fresh this spring with a less cluttered space…

Anyways, on to the outfit… I just recently discovered this leather Mackage jacket in my mom’s closet (yes I am lucky to have a mama in my size AND who has great taste!) …she bought it at Winnners recently and I am in LOVE with the girly puffy sleeves and beautiful buttons (they look like precious stones)…I think it is perfect for spring/work and transitions well from winter to spring. It is the perfect alternative to my “grungier” looking black leather jacket (my LOVE always and forever)

I also found this hat while thrifting a little while ago and loved the colours …especially considering the nautical theme is so popular this spring! That's all I saw when I was in Europe…

PS for those of you in Toronto who LOVE coffee as much as I do – you HAVE to check out Crema coffee shop! Its located at 3079 Dundas St West …organic blends and homemade goodies… prices are equivalent to Starbucks I would say but their coffee is so much better!

Outfit: Jacket- Mackage, Sweater: Vintage, Necklace: Vintage, Jeans: Marciano, scarf: thrifted, Boots: thrifted, Hat: thrifted, sunnies: Burberry, Bag: Gucci

Makeup: It is honestly the same as what was in my last post (not that you can SEE it in this one) …I will be switching up my look tomorrow…haha…pinky promise!!

what does your tattoo say?

Ashleigh said...

Lions, anon and Jenny- I have a feeling I will be getting a few comments regarding the tattoo ...haha..

so here goes..I cant remember the post but a while back I put up pics of when I went to the tattoo parlour (New Tribe tattoos) for my first and only tattoo (thus far)..

It says "We are all made of stars" with a little trail of stars at the end... it is a tribute to my science degree in a way as well as my mama

Thank you for all your sweet comments by the way! love you guys <3
