Be Outrageous

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!

Floral Winter

Photos By: My Amazing BFF Gabrielle (Thank you!)

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.

Also a reminder to keep voting for my post on Fashion Click! Can my amazing readers get it to fifty? Every vote counts! :)

I can't tell you how excited I was to get an email from Tidal Labs approving one of my blogs posts to display on the Teen Vogue website! I put a lot of effort into making my blog completely different from any other and your votes would mean the world to me!

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!

Bergundy Rouge

This is my very first post as a Teen Vogue Fashion Click blogger and I'm so excited to see where it takes me! It is something that I have been wanting to do since I first started my fashion blog Be Outrageous earlier this year. Style is everything to me and has always been a great passion of mine. Inspirational blogs that I absolutely love are Tuula, The Blonde Salad, Fashion Toast, Gary Pepper Vintage, Sincerely Jules, Ring My Bell...the list goes on and on! If you haven't yet visited any of these blogs, do so now!

I wore this outfit the other day to university and loved the combination so much that I had to post it on my blog. Leopard scarves have always been a favourite of mine, and this one particularly interested me because of the red and blue spots on it as opposed to the usual black and beige. I have had my eye on a burgundy blazer for a long time now and managed to pick this one up half price during a limited time sale at Bardot! Everyone likes a good bargain!

Schoolyard Prep

Here I'm sporting two new purchases that I am absolutely loving right now: leather shorts by SASS and a gorgeous boyfriend blazer in burgundy from Bardot. The weather wasn't completely ideal for the shorts, so I'm thinking of getting some warm stockings to wear underneath. This outfit immediately made me think of Gossip Girl and their uber-cool prep wardrobe back in season one. If only all us girls had an endless wardrobe of designer couture, the things we would do. I would probably have 20+ outfit changes in one day! Too bad the world doesn't tend to gravitate that way ;p

So Undercover

I've been waiting for a day cold enough outside to wear this new Portmans trench that I picked up for a bargain a few months ago and have finally had the chance to wear it. Not that I like the cold, but it does give me an excuse to throw on a fancy coat so who's complaining? The Bardot dress made a lovely extension to the outfit by adding some colour to liven up the black and beige combination. As for the boots, I have to tell you that it was a handful trying to get my hands on those! I went from store to store trying to find my size and was disappointed every time I left another store empty handed. Then I tried ordering them online only to discover that they don't deliver to where I live. Despite the hassle, I finally tracked down the boots and I'm really glad that I did because their the one pair of boots that I actually liked.

University studies have really been keeping me busy and away from my blog but I'm super dedicated to my readers so I try my best to post twice a week at least!
