Club Monaco bustier & bracelet, skirt c/o Ministry of Retail, shoes c/o Shoppalu, Birks bracelet
As anyone else who blogs (or lives, for that matters) knows, sometimes despite our best efforts, there just isn’t enough time in a day to get around to everything. These pics, for example, were taken at the end of a very amazing but packed Sunday, and Matt and I were scrambling to get outside. Finally we just decided to improvise and take some shots in the dying light inside our room.Not my favourite type of light but good to know that in a pinch, we can make an indoor shoot work!
This weekend was definitely the best I’ve had here in Toronto so far. Lots of beer on patios, hanging out with friends, good food, running and best of all, I finally found an amazing place to swim and lounge at the beach! Matt and I headed to Ward’s Island this weekend and I totally fell in love with it – really reminds me of the Sunshine Coast, where my cabin is.
Hope you all had an amazing weekend!
such a pretty skirt!

Such a gorgeous weekend here in Toronto! As a fellow Vancouverite, I went to Sugar Beach craving the sunshine! You should check it out and do a photo shoot there! Think pink umbrellas and white sand… Very chique!

The lighting is perfect. I love the first shot. I hate taking photos in my apt I wish there was more natural light. I was going to take pictures outside last Wednesday but by the time I got home it started raining and I decided not to take pictures indoors. *sigh the life of a style blogger lol* But your skirt is amazing. Pleats and mint what can be better! Also love your nude top.

I think the photos came out pretty good – and I'm blown away by the skirt – such a gorgeous piece. The whole look has sort of a ballerina feel to it.

Sometimes life just doesn't allow for the perfect opportunity for outfit photos – it happens 🙂 Even if you didn't have the location of your dreams, you are still looking as gorgeous as ever. I love the combination of delicate fabrics in your skirt and bustier. And that adorable little arm party is the perfect finishing touch. Glad to hear you had such a good weekend, pally!

I love when you find those spots that make life a little more sweet. I adore your outfit like no other, from top to bottom it's amazing.
I love the almost boudoir feeling of these indoor photos. Seems intimate and personal, which is very nice! The skirt is so pretty!
This looks so amazing on you! I thought it was a dress at first — it looks so perfect together.
And good on you for taking the photos inside! They turned out really great. I always just leave it for another day if I miss the light, but maybe I'll give the indoor pics a chance 🙂

You look absolutely beautiful!! The colours and matching fabric really complement each other so well I thought it was a dress, but you can do so much with these as separates too. It all just fits you so perfectly and it evokes such an ephemeral feeling; stunning.
This is such a gorgeous combination. I love the consistency of the textures.

You look gorgeous! Love these colors on you!! xx Pam

This beautiful look, which remind me so Carrie Bradshaw.Feminine and romantic. Since we have these terrible rainy days in Ireland the biggest problem is the photoshot. I have few taken indoors as well. Don't know why, but outside it's more fun to take photos.But you both have did great job.
