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!

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.

I'm SO in love this look. I want to rip it off of you and wear it right now!! 😉 Freakin gorgeous from head-to-toe! And yay, off to vote for ya – gorgeous lady. xo veronika
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!

Hi dear, thanks for the kind b-day wishes!
I love your use of different colours, it's something you have a special flair for. Congrats on the exciting contest, you have my vote! I wish that you win, you deserve it!
Good luck, girl! The photo you entered with is seriously GORGEOUS. Such a perfect shot.
Gorgeous! I love the red + green combo.
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

Sometimes warm dry wins or cute and wet, ha ha . I think your boots are fine. I like everything you have on and the way it jives together.
Love the Rebecca Minkoff bag. Congrats on that feature.
xo L.
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 ♥
LOV your scarf <3
These photos are so beautiful! I love how you combined everything and that bag is gorgeous!
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.

Sooo Gorgeous!!
Love how you put together your outfit! 🙂
