Zara

Where you live: I am a little bit all over the place, but currently I am living in Burlington, Ontario.
What you do: I study International Studies/Literature, I am a Barista at a coffee shop, I make crafts for fun, and plan trips that don’t always happen.
Favourite places to shop: Zara, Topshop, Forever21, Urban Outfitters, H&M, and American Apparel among others.
Music you can't stop listening to: Since it has been quite rainy lately I have been listening to a lot of Josh Ritter and Emiliana Torrini (might I suggest “Nothing brings me down” and “Heartstopper”).
Perfect Friday night: Friday is usually for relaxing...I like to stay in and make some good food, watch a movie, make a craft or go out for tea with some friends...Saturday is usually deemed "going out night" or what I now like to call "Britney/Gaga nights".
What is your secret style weapon? My scary/beautiful studded belt! And of course my classic trench coat.
Where did you get them? After searching far and wide I finally found my beloved belt at Zara, there was only one left waiting just for me! I got the trench at H&M-saw it, fell in love, but alas had zero dollars in the bank so I drove my sad self home to find one of those lovely quarterly government checks they send you in the mail! So I drove back and got the trench!
Why do you love them? I love them because I can mix them with anything. I really love wearing lace or soft dainty dresses with the belt, the contrast of the two is fantastic. You can never go wrong with a trench, it’s cute with boots or a short dress peaking out of the bottom. My new favourite way to wear it is with converse high-tops and bare legs.
If you lost them, you would...: I don’t even want to think about that. I would probably try to find them again, or a new variation of them...maybe a red or navy trench next time? Nah I couldn’t do it, I would be devastated.

With warm, happy weather it’s finally time to put those parkas away.

Until it starts to rain again, that is. We all know how the saying goes and until May flowers start to bloom it’s best to hide from the rain in one of the many trench coat designs that are ubiquitous this spring. read more...
