Let’s Pretend: Rad & Refined

New idea folks! I am an online browser (you are too, admit it!) or a window shopper. Which means I love perusing around the net at online shops and online brand pages but rarely buy anything (thanks budget!). So these Let’s Pretend posts will be exactly what I am wanting and wishing from different areas around the net. It could be clothes, make-up, home decor… anything, I like to switch it up!

So the debut online store is Rad & Refined. These eclectic pieces have a rock n roll vintage feel which is soooo great for the upcoming summer. Here is what I would wear, hop over to their store and tell me which item is your fav for summer!

Style Creep: Maxi Skirt

I have been a fan of this trend for awhile now. So pretty, feminine and flowing! Maxi skirts and dresses are available in so many different fabrics, patterns and colours. You can dress them up or down, classic or edgy, for sun or snow, all beautiful! I rounded up a few of my favourites from fashion bloggers and other places on the web. Which one is your favourite? Have you tried this trend out for yourself? I would love to see more ways of styling the skirts or dresses!

Friday!

Woo! Friday! Unfortunately for me I caught a nasty head cold so I will be on the couch with my new book Decoded by Jay Z and a large glass of Neo Citran. I do have some wedding invitations I would like to get finished this weekend and maybe squeeze in some baking, along with the usual mountain of laundry that needs to be done. I will leave you with a photo montage of Nicole’s wedding party. These were our before & after shots of her Bachelorette Party! Inspiration via Pinterest.
