Black + White + Pink

Today's post is featuring this simple black + white outfit worn with a bold, pink lip. I also threw on some big sunglasses to complete the look. From festivals, to running around completing tasks, this outfit is perfect to throw on.

This week has been filled with lots of to-do lists. I am getting a lot completed in terms of filming, editing, and producing new videos for my channel; making jewelry and dealing with business decisions; and also blogging of course - but I feel like my life is running off of a schedule of never ending things to do. I am trying to focus on things that I enjoy, but when I am not sure what the future holds in September (going to University or not) - it makes me feel like I am doing all of these countless things for nothing. I feel like I am constantly distracting myself from feeling miserable, and the second I get time by myself or start thinking about it, I break down. 

Here's to hoping summer gets a little bit better and I can focus on what's important right now and what I have going for me in terms of my hobbies and side jobs!

Thanks for reading, 

XO,

Mikayla

Floral Blazer + Pink Peplum

My summer has just begun and it is already super busy - and has been stressful! Still trying to manage the blog, the business, my YouTube channel, work, social life, and figure out what to do come September for University.

For this outfit, I wore my new favourite floral blazer with a pale pink peplum top and some white shorts. This was a casual look slightly dressed up for dinner with my family.

What I Wore:

Blazer // LuLu*s

Top // Forever 21

Shorts // J.Crew

Watch // Michael Kors

Sandals // Sears

Sunnies // Calico

Earrings // Melanie Lyne

Wishlist Wednesday: THINK PINK

Today I am starting something new! Comment your feedback at the bottom of the post. I would love to hear what you have to say!

This is my first post for something new I am starting on my blog, called "Wishlist Wednesday". I have seen a few bloggers do this, and thought it was such a cool idea. I have also seen Lauren Conrad do something a bit similar and called it "Currently Craving"

So what it is, is one Wednesday of each month, I will create a wishlist of current trends or upcoming trends that I have on my list for when I go shopping - or I just want - in my dreams. It is a fun and fashionable way to discuss clothing, accessories and trends. 

I created this inspiration board this Wednesday to showcase my latest "wants". See image below, and also see each product I linked, and what I like about each one.

I have been dreaming of Spring/Summer lately, and not enjoying the cold weather. I am in love with everything pink/white, so that is what I based this board around. Lots of "pink swatches" in this one!

Fall Fair

Got to hold a snake - it was pretty cool!

A while ago, I attended the Port Hope Fall Fair, and got some snapshots of my outfit. It was a cold fall day, so a sweater and some denim jeans were the way to go! I accessorized with a sparkly gold headband, watch, and arm candy bracelets. My pink rubber boots really brought a pop of colour to the ensemble as well!
