As promised, here is part two of my 2015 outfits, July through December. Thanks to all of you for sticking with me this year and caring about the things I wear and the thoughts I have. I love you all, more than I can express ❤

Insanely enough, 2015 is coming to a close, which means it is time for my yearly outfit round-up. It is absolutely crazy that a year has already gone by – I remember last New Years day like it was yesterday, which is strange because I generally can’t even remember what I did last week. But we don’t need to get into my concerns about my terrible memory. 2015 outfits! From January to June! And I’ll be back tomorrow with July to December ❤
What’s your favourite outfit in this round-up? Let me know in the comments below.
My parents have lived along this bike path as long as I’ve been alive, or rather, as long as my older brother has been alive, so about 29 years now. We first lived in a town house in a little courtyard along the bike path and then moved a street over to a bungalow backing onto the bike path. This path and forest has seen me through years and years of childhood games, teenage rebellion and a whole lot of over-dramatic sassyness. It’s as much part of my childhood and teen years as our family home, so I felt compelled to share a bit of that with you while I was in Ottawa visiting my family for Christmas. It actually felt pretty lovely that snow fell on this particular day, because before then there was absolutely no snow in Ottawa and the temperatures were much more like early fall than late winter. I honestly don’t much like snow, but it’s beautiful when you are just looking at it and not trudging through it, so I was glad that it showed up on the day I decided to snap some photos. I’m back in Toronto now, but it was nice to spend some time with family, start feeling like a human again (read: not sick) and recharge for the New Year.
How was your holidays? Do you have New Year plans? Tell me things. ❤

If you follow me on instagram, then you probably know I’ve been pretty sick recently, which sort of explains the radio silence around here – it’s been a whole lot of pyjamas and no makeup (and re-watching Grey’s Anatomy forever and always, amen.) around these parts . However, a truly exceptional dress by a favourite designer has a way of making you feel way less sick…or in my case, just look less sick. I don’t own many dresses that give me a very specific feeling, but this one makes me feel like I just stepped out of a Pre-Raphaelite painting, which is a much better feeling to have than the clogged ears, irritated eyes, stuffy nose feelings I am currently existing with. Another great feeling (today is all about feelings, ok!) is being able to offer $50 off this gem of a dress with the code larkspurholidays. Every holiday season Nina offers some awesome discounts on many of her designs, which is a great way to get some of her off-season products you’ve had your eye on at a much reduced price. Happy Holidays, friends. Spread those good feelings ❤

I’ve been rethinking my wardrobe a lot lately. It seems every time I go through my closet in search of an outfit, I feel less and less attached to much of the pieces hanging there. I often have an idea for an outfit, only to find I don’t actually own something I had in mind, which is definitely a first world problem, really, but when I got thinking about it, I came to realize maybe I own too many things that don’t do anything for me anymore and I likely need to make room for pieces I feel a real connection to; I don’t necessarily have a desire to change my style, but I think honing it a bit more would so me some good. That being said, this burnt orange pinafore by Mod Dolly seems a perfect starting point for me. The marriage of colour, simplicity, versatility and sweetness really got me with this one and I realize those four words should be ever-present when thinking of the clothes I own. I’m certainly not jumping on the capsule wardrobe bandwagon – I’ll never be that practical – but being a bit more thoughtful with my choices seems more and more desirable to me these days.
