Pea Soup - White Fur

This past week the weather in Ottawa has been quite warm. I think mother nature wanted to give us one last taste of heat before we get buried in snow and ice this winter. As you can tell, I'm one of those bitter that winter is coming people.  I wore this out for dinner, a thrifting trip and to see Gravity in theatres. My thrifting trip went very well. Fall is my favourite season for thrift shopping for a few reasons. One being more selection for blazers, sweaters, boots and coats and two: the weird clothes that I assume were reserved for halloween come out aka my day-to day-clothing. Seriously the halloween section is my new favourite. It seems like they stock pile cool clothes throughout September that they put out in October for halloween costumes. The halloween rack is full of sequins, leopard print, leather, and vintage clothes - basically all of my favourites. I'll be filming a thrift haul video soon to show you everything I bought!  All I have to say about Gravity is that you need to see it. There are only two characters and the entire thing is set in space yet I sat at the edge of my chair, completely blown away by how insane and well done it was. Watch the trailer.

Bike Love

Meet my new bike. I haven't named it yet because it's currently being painted purple and is awaiting it's basket and bell so stay tuned for the name. I had been searching for a bike for over a year now but had such trouble finding a vintage bike that had speeds and power brakes that wasn't more than $100. 
Until I drove by this baby. It was PERFECT. Minus the green colour and tacky stickers. As you can tell, I was very excited about my new ride and I am so anxiously awaiting to see it in purple and all dolled up. I've always loved biking from when I was a kid and it's great exercise. 
My outfit is super casual and quite patriotic I must say (if I lived in America, that is.) I love the vintage Ralph Lauren t-shirt, it's so classic and comfy. The pants are a work staple but they're so comfortable that I tend to wear them on weekends too. Stay tuned to see this bike much more this summer!
