Victoria Touring Outfit

Still on vaca on Vancouver Island folks and here's a recent day of touring around the provincial capital of British Columbia, Victoria.

First up, Craigdarroch Castle

Wait, what? No heels?!?! Grrrl, please!

Drawing Room Frock

Mr. Keller caught my reflection AND the Sitting Room Outfit, he's so good!

Exotic Dressing Gown

Hallway Pose

Skirt Action Shot!

Waiting for the bus...

Next up, Fisherman's Wharf

Yes, those are houses/buildings tied to the dock

And then we checked out the car show in town.

Hot Rod

Outfit dets: jacket-Gap, dress-Duro Olowu for JCPenny(similar here), flats-J.Crew Factory, bag-J.Jill(gifted), cuff-vintage, rings-Jewel Mint

So far it has been a fun-filled adventure in the Pacific Northwest and we're currently in Campbell River and about to go whale watching!!!! So excited! As for the outfit above, I went with a comfortable, but graphic shift dress, and of course when touring a city flats are in order. The weather up here is a bit chilly so my fitted denim jacket provided some structure and warmth. My studded vintage cuff gave me a bit of an edge, while the satchel bag was all function.

And don't forget to vote for my Rent the Runway dress here.

40 Year Old Cottagecore

dress-Anthropologie(more options here ), sunnies- DIFF Eyewear , necklace- Benevolence LA , bag-- Shiraleah , sandals- Born I first became aware of Cottagecore earlier this summer and found it to be an aesthetic I can appreciate and find aspirational , but was not necessarily a style that aligned with my wheelhouse. Well as I've been growing my hair during covid quarantine and having picked up this dress as seen here , I felt that I was ready to tackle #cottagecore here on my 40th birthday!!! Yep, that's right today I turn 40 (but I don't look it). And while it's been a year like no other, I feel excited for my next year, decade, chapter of my life. I think it's fair to say I'm done having babies and ready to move on from the chaos of very little children to the chaos of big kids. I no longer feel like I have something to proof in my work, writing, sense of self. I'm just going to enjoy and be grateful for the many blessings of family, friends, health, a...

Two Things

First: Isabel Marant's collocation for H&M debuts today in select stores AND online at noon, so you may want to get up on that. Here are a few looks I'm lusting after. Hello mixed patterns! Love the oversized coat and the detail on these jeans. Patterned blazer, cropped colorful trousers, yes please! Of course, I cannot partake in this collection with my Year Of No Shopping, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't. So get ready to go by noon because I'm sure this noise will sell out fast. Number Two: I'm thinking about a new haircut. Something along the lines of Tilda Swinton . What do we think? I'm not going to go blond, but I like the shorter/buzzed sides and back with length on the top. Mr. Keller is hesitant, he thinks it's too masculine, but I'm kind of in the mood to go a bit edgy and I've had the same cut now for two-ish years... FYI: Tilda Swinton is my spirit animal! ...

Rent the Runway Wedding Vote

I may be on vacation at the moment, but I'm thinking of the future, in particular the wedding I'm attending back home next month. A ton of high school friends will be there. Some I am dying to hang out with, while others I'm hoping to make a bit jelly... Regardless, an outfit is required. I mentioned the idea of wearing a summer suit in this post . But now I'm feeling more of killer-blow-them-away dress. I'm also thinking I may have to call in the big guns and utilize the services of Rent the Runway . 1. Elie Tahari Love the pattern here. The user reviews & pics lead me to believe this will be quite flattering on my body type. 2. Kate Spade This is so groovy and I love the use of a statement necklace in this look. But, I'm wondering if I'm not attracted to the overall styling of the picture for the website or if I really like the dress on its on. 3. Milly ...
