How To Wear: The Juniper Dress

The Juniper dress is the perfect everyday dress for you this summer!  Whether you're going to a music festival, having a BBQ party or soaking the sun in the beach - this dress is versatile and can be styled in various ways!

The dress shown here is Poplin Halter Mini Dress with Vintage in White, made out of poplin material and vintage dress shirts. Other versions of the dresses are available in Black and in Blue. 

During chilly days, you can wear the dress with a light white cardigan. Throw in a pair of cat eye sunglasses, a fringe bag and some chunky bracelets for a fun, chic look! Top off the whole ensemble with a pair of gladiator sandals and you're good to go!

March Madness

Here I am back in one of my favourites - the Robson Sweater!

I decided to wear my bright blue and purple one (I do own at least 5 of these),  and had a little fun dressing it up with the Logan Coat, and my favourite denim jacket.  And I still haven't been able to ditch the winter boots either!  But we are officially on the count down till March Break! 3 more sleeps till beach and sun, and no boots necessary!

Hairstyles I'm Dying to Try

Photos from Pinterest

Since I recently got bangs, I have been looking up some fun new hairstyles to try!

1. Half-up-half-down

This style would be a perfect casual hairstyle to get some hair pushed back off of my face. I love how Lauren Conrad styled her hair with the bangs in this photo!

2. Messy Topknot

This would be the perfect look for a day on the go or running errands. Up and out of the way, but still a great, effortless look!

3. Braided Up-Do

This would be such a pretty hairstyle to wear on vacation, or dressing up a little bit. I love how the pieces of hair are pulled out (in the photo above) for a more relaxed look as well. 

4. Braided Headband 

These braided headbands are so cool because it's literally your own hair braided and then wrapped on top of your head! I would love to wear this to work and style it with some of the new SS16 Preloved pieces!
