I have been on the hunt for the perfect pair of affordable white jeans for quite some time now and despite multiple trips to designer factory outlets and the occasional trip to the city, who would have thought that perfect pair would be waiting for me in a small suburb's boutique? You can discover the most enchanting and rare finds in your local chain stores that you might never have thought to explore. 
If it's unique pieces that your after or new designers that your looking to uncover, I highly recommend you check out all the small boutiques you know. The Zara knitwear is also new and offers a surprising amount of warmth in the cooler seasons. The jacket I actually considered getting rid of at some point but luckily my instincts told me to hold onto it for just a while longer. What completed the outfit and gave it the "hip" look that I was going for was the fedora hat, a must have item of mine. It just takes one basic fedora hat to reinvent a closet-full of clothes, no matter what the season!

I've been planning a day to go down to my local park to take some photos for a long time now so yesterday my best friend and I headed down with my Canon DSLR and she captured the most amazing shots ever--literally! We had planned for it to be a sunny day but, coincidentally enough, as soon as my camera ran out of batteries the sun decided to come out and ruin my attempt of capturing a mid-air jump on the bridge. I loved experimenting with capturing movement on camera, and the results were truly memorable. 

Floral jeans are an emerging trend this season and these ones were a fantastic buy compared to other expensive ones currently on the market. The addition of my new favourite mustard coloured knit gave the outfit that extra zeal it needed in order to stand out amongst the beautiful greenery. I'm also seeing a trend emerging that involves the cross-body bag, and this one hits the mark in terms of comfort and style.

The mustard coloured knit that I am wearing caught my eye from afar, possibly because of it's wintery appeal. The sunglasses by Sabo Skirt are also new! You can get them here!
