West Coast Casual

Twenty8Twelve leather jacket, Rebecca Minkoff bag, skinnies c/o Raven Denim,
Timberland boots, Wilfred blouse, Club Monaco scarf, ring c/o Social Experiment 

While my Cloudbusting look is perfect for school so long as the weather’s relatively dry, when the rain settles in, I need to just suck it up and throw on some practical footwear. Though these boots aren’t necessarily the most stylish shoes around, nothing beats them when it’s pouring rain. And when paired with skinnies and a leather jacket, I’m comfortable enough for school yet still presentable enough to run around town afterwards!



All right my lovelies, I have a little favour to ask of you! I’m currently in the running for Refinery 29’s Next Big Style Blogger! It would mean so much if you vote for me – all you have to do is be signed in with Facebook and click on the heart in the top left corner of the picture. Unfortunately, the submissions don’t have their own links, but at the moment I’m in the Popular Contestants page, if you scroll down you’ll see me! Just look for the picture below!

I’d honestly so appreciate any support I could get with this contest, so thank you in advance to those who vote for me!
This week has been brutal…like 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. days. Times five. Just holding on for reading week with the little sanity I have left. Thank God it’s just around the corner, otherwise I’d quite literally lose my mind, and I’m weird enough as it is already, so no one would want that to happen.
Hope you are all having a wonderful week so far lovelies!

    I absolutely looove this look!! This is the way to do casual chic for sure, those pants are a great shade and with the blouse, leather jacket and scarf its so great! I have to see this term is killing me, I dislike my courses and can't wait for a break.

    Nothing wrong with basic black leather boots. They're a necessity in Vancouver!

    Good luck with your crazy week.

    I'm surprised those boots are Timberland actually, they look like great basic black boots and perfect for our yucky weather. Though this weekend is supposed to be nice – I can't wait to soak up some sun! Happy Wednesday, Alex! <3

    My lovely friend, I love that we're wearing such unintentionally similar outfits in our posts today 🙂 Of course, I could quite possibly have been subconsciously been thinking of how much I love your Raven skinnies when I bought my burgundy skinnies. And I love how your Minkoff somehow goes with everything. Hope your week is going well!

    This is such a pretty "west coast casual" outfit, Alex! Of course, absolutely digging the colors, as usual (no surprise there). The boots look great with it too. They look perfect for a walk along that rocky beach 😉

    Good luck with the Refinery29 contest… going to vote now!

    Happy Friday – one more day until the weekend!! xo

    I happen to adore those boots. I love boots like this pair because they can be worn with anything and everything. The pair that I have (very similar to yours) are worn constantly because they work in rain, snow, slush, and chilly-ish weather. PERFECT. Definitely got my money's worth.

    P.S. I think that you keep Google Friend Connect if your blog is run through Blogger, even if you bought your own domain name. I'm in the same boat as you.

    Alex, i love how you create these combo looks and balance the casual with the chic so well!!!! hard edge boots, feminine floaty blouse, raw leather jacket and a RM bag. i don't think i could just throw something so clever together at all, it does look really comfortable too.

    sweetheart, i'm sorry to not be on fb so i can cast my vote, i would if i could 🙂 happy weekend, the past 5 days sounded completely brutal for ya so kick up those pretty feet of yours and relax (hopefully!) xo ♥

  58. 2.3.12

    the bag is really great! thanks so much for your comment, and I must say i'm totally your opinion – the canvas bags are cute, but I don't think I'd wear them, I don't find the idea very great and they are a bit (or rather much) too expensive for being canvas bags.
