Summer Solstice: Hello White Dresses!

I actually started my first blog post 4 years ago on this very day so I guess it's pretty fitting that my first proper return to blogging occurs on the anniversary of my first blog! :)

Happy Summer everyone! No New York bar exam to ruin my summer this year and I'm looking forward to making up for the studying/lack of summer activities last year.

Let's start with perhaps one of my favourite items in a summer wardrobe: the white dress!


Yumi Vintage Cotton Slip Dress, ASOS, $71


Supertrash Silk and Lace Tiered Dress, ASOS,$127


ASOS Crochet Insert Maxi Beach Dress, ASOS, $41


Marciano Clairie Maxi Dress, GUESS by Marciano, $158


Marciano Carmine Crinkle Maxi Dress, GUESS by Marciano, $175

Jimmy Choo v. Guess

I cannot believe how much a little sunshine and (relatively) warmer weather can do to a person's mood! :-) I've been rather busy since my arrival in Vancouver and am VERY excited to go to a friend's wedding tomorrow. I'm a little behind on replying to comments but I'll get to them, promise! <3 I'll get back to more regular posts upon my return to Ontario!

I was at the GUESS store in Metrotown and noticed a pair of black naga pumps. I thought they looked ridiculously familiar to a pair of Jimmy Choo sandals I saw last Spring. They're a pretty similar match! I'm partial to the Jimmy Choos and the irridescent patent leather, but I really wonder if it's worth the price difference. Check these two comparisons out:

GUESS Genovieve Sandal $97 at Zappos


Jimmy Choo Atlas Patent Sandal, SOLD OUT ($750)


GUESS Naga Patent Pump $89 at Zappos


Jimmy Choo Eliza Patent Patent Sandal, SOLD OUT, $585
