Iron & Wine... & Blue

I am very excited because tonight, I am going to see Iron & Wine at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. The Ryman is an amazing venue that used to have a religious vocation (it was previoulsy a Tabernacle). The acoustics are incredible and I expect a great show since Iron & Wine are a very harmonious group. If you don't know them, you should check out my favorite song, Rabbit Will Run.

Quickly, I am sharing with you the outfit I plan to wear tonight for the show. I recently fell in love with the navy and black combo which used to be something I avoided. I love the subtle difference between the two colors, especially paired with black leather. I opted for a feminine look with a touch of rocker chic (added my the leather jacket and buckles on the boot).

This Zara t-shirt from their linen collection has an amazing fit and feel. And those Jeffrey Campbell boots are truly amazing. Details for the whole set are here. 

Hopefully I will get good photos of my own look and will add them to this post!

Are you doing something fun this Sunday night? Or are you getting prepared for the week?

WednesDate

Nothing is easier than a girly, classic black and white outfit for a mid-week date. Red lipstick and gold accents add a subtle glamorous kick to the look without saying "I tried too hard". 

He better not make you wait!!! (Or you'll have to use the tassels on the bag!)

Blazer: Simons, Skirt: American Apparel, Shirt: Zara (Sold Out, similar here), Shoes: Everything at Little Burgundy (on sale!), Necklace and clutch (H&M, similar necklace Here), Earrings: Simons

SUMMER DON'T LEAVE

 If you fly over the province of Quebec, you will notice thousands of tiny blue dots behind every house. We have very short summers but we all have swimming pools. It may be surprising to people from the South. But it was also surprising to me, when I first visited my boyfriend in Nashville, that most people there don't own pools. I guess summer is so short here, we want to make the most of it. I spotted some colored leaves in the trees this week and I wanted to yell: "Summer! Don't leave yet!" So as most bloggers have been posting about fall lately, I'm posting one of my last summer looks!

I got lucky and got an exclusive shooting with my friend Camille Brunelle for this one. It was so much fun! And those pants are just incredibly comfy!
Pants: MinkPink, top: American Apparel Shoes: Zara, Necklace: Maison Scotch, Midi rings: Urban Outfitters (still available but I can't put UO links because their website is not accessible in my province), Sunglasses: Prada, Watch and Charm Bracelet: Fossil, Bracelet: Alex and Ani

Blogger Uniform!

How can one be a fashion blogger without wearing the blogger uniform? Yes, I'm talking about the Zara "Skort" that's been everywhere this summer. I finally got my own (ordered before realizing people were starting to be hateful towards it, see here or here, bottom of page)... but I actually got it for cheaper from SheInside. I had been wanting to try this online store, as it had mixed reviews but really cool, cheap stuff.

After a few weeks (read: 2.5) of OCD package-tracking (which actually never worked), I finally got the "skort" in the mail, just in time to wear it for my father's birthday dinner. He even shot the pics!!

I wouldn't recommend SheInside if you are nervous about ordering online, because it seems to be shipping from Hong Kong and it is probably a real hassle if you want to return something. They had good customer service though: I made a mistake in my shipping address and they replied really quickly. The sizes seem to be a little off (I ordered L instead of M by reading the reviews... but the one I received fits like a small (a little tight on me and I usually fit quite loosely in a size M (I'm 5'9'')).

Blazer: H&M (old), Shoes: Aldo, Shirt: Only, Necklace: H&m, Sunglasses: Pangea, Bag: Matt & Natt (old) (small store in Nashville, TN). Oh and both my watch and charm bracelet are from Fossil... I wear them every day ;)

So what do you think? Is that outfit legit for a blogger? Haha... ;)
