Hi everyone, welcome back! Thank you so much for joining me!
Today's video is going to be a 'What's new in my wardrobe' video.
What's new in my wardrobe video's are a great way to see
some of things that I'm absolutely loving. Things that I have kept from my hauls-- so my very favorite pieces, and
pieces that I've just acquired throughout the past month in to my collection.

thumbs up and don't forget to subscribe because I would absolutely love to have you! So jumping straight in,
I'm going to get started with the dress that I actually have on. So, this is a chambray style
maxi dress that I picked up from surprise, surprise, from Zara and I absolutely love this dress and I have been wearing it
so so much. It has these gorgeous white tortoise shell buttons down the front of the dress, and they're actually alternating in size.
So, there's a larger sized one and then a small sized one and they alternate down with the dress and the dress completely
unbuttons. I think the white tortoiseshell is really unique.
It's different than the typical tortoise shell buttons that we've been seeing on a lot of pieces this summer.
They kind of make me think of what an albino turtle might look like. So, maybe that's just me,
that might be a little bit strange, but that's sort of what they would remind me of and I think they're kind of
really gorgeous, and definitely make a statement on this dress.
The dress also has a v-neck line, which is really flattering,
but it's not too low-cut, and then it has this really nice belt across the front of the dress
which really cinches you in and gives you a really flattering silhouette.
It also has smocking detail at the back and more of a squared off neckline, which is really, really nice.
I really like smocking. It really cinches you in and just really gives you a nice fit and feel to the dress.
The dress is a really nice soft material. So if you haven't worn chambray before, chambray is a lightweight denim.
It's perfect for late spring, summer and early into fall. It's typically in a lighter wash.
I'm wearing the dress in an extra-small and
I'm not sure if it's still available just because I did pick it up a few weeks ago.
I did pay full price with the dress. I believe, I want to say it was under $50 or even under $40.
I'm not sure if it made it into the sale. I don't think it did,
but if it's available, I'll definitely link it below. The next dress I have to show you is another denim dress. Now,
this is a white denim dress. Again, this one is from Zara. It's a much thicker denim. So, it's quite a heavy dress,
so I more recommend wearing this in the mornings or in the evenings, or just on a cooler summer day,
and it's definitely a piece you can wear into fall.
It has this gorgeous squared off neckline, which is very on trend this season,
and has these really nice wide straps. Again,
this dress has the, these are much smaller tortoise shell buttoned down details in kind of that darker brown colour,
which is a really nice touch. The dress completely unbuttons.
it's squared off at the back and has this really nice
belted detail at the front, which kind of really cinches in the small of your waist creating a really nice silhouette.
It is more of a midi length on me. The buttons don't go completely down to the bottom,
so there is a bit of a slit and then the bottom is actually
unfinished, so it's a raw hem. I picked it up in a size small.
I wish I would have got it in an extra small just because it is a little bit big on the sides here for me. It
also has pockets which is also a bonus. Who doesn't love a dress with pockets!
Moving in to a couple of pieces that I picked up at the Zara sale. So we'll start things off with this gorgeous,
jt's more of an off-white,
ruffled top. Now, honestly, I wasn't completely in love with it when I just saw hanging on the rack,
but I felt like it did have a little bit of potential.
it's a really nice, soft fabric and it's really comfortable and easy to wear. One of the reasons why I
gravitated towards this piece is, I think it's almost a piece that you can wear all year round, and can be styled so many different
ways. You can pair it with a pair of shorts, a skirt, a
midi-length skirt, a pair of trousers, a pair of jeans, so many different ways, and I'm always looking for pieces like this.
It has a really nice smoking detail on the shoulders and then smoking detail just kind of on the cuffs. Now this is
more of a three-quarter length sleeve, and I know that sounds a little bit weird, kind of is a little bit of a throwback.
How I've actually been wearing it is
off the shoulder as more of like, kind of a Bardot style top, and then pushing the sleeves up a bit more kind of towards
my elbows. It honestly reminds me of a high-end designer piece. It looks something like would come from the brand Zimmerman.
The smocking is really that kind of attention to detail that gives it more of a designer kind of look and feel,
makes the piece look a little bit more expensive.
I picked this top up in an extra small and it was marked down to under $30.
I believe it was either $45 or $50 marked down to $30 as part of the sale. These trousers, okay,
these are definitely going to be a love or hate piece,
I completely realize that. Now I saw them in store when they were full price and in my size and they were originally
$99.90, so just under $100, and I really wasn't willing to pay that, just because they're such a
statement trouser. So these are a gorgeous
ruffle, they're literally ruffled all the way down the legs, again, very statement.
It has this beautiful floral pattern on it, which is, you know,
very subtle, but still very much make a statement, and it's almost in kind of like a beige off-white background.
So I've been styling these actually, with just a white top to add a little bit of
contrast and interest with the trousers. Now, they are very high waisted. They are so ruffly and so fun,
but again, what I really liked about them is they're definitely designer inspired. Something like this is such a great alternative.
I would consider these to be a designer dupe. So,
it's a great way to kind of get those expensive looking high-end pieces into your wardrobe without having to pay the
designer price tag. So these ones are actually marked down 50% off and that's when I managed to get my hands on them.
This is more of a rose pink or dark blush
suede leather jacket that I picked up from the brand Blank NYC,
and I actually purchased it on Nordstrom Rack. Now I did see this piece, I
can't remember where I saw it. It must have been on the Nordstrom website.
I think that's where I originally saw it. When I went to go buy it, it was not in my size,
so oddly enough it made it to Nordstrom Rack.
So a lot of pieces that go from Nordstrom,
that are going to go on sale or they're not really in season anymore,
then they head over to the rack, where they are marked down substantially and oddly enough, I found this one in my size. Now
I probably could have done with an extra small. I ordered this one in a small, It was the only size that was available,
however, I do want to be able to wear this jacket in the spring and fall
months as well, and I want to be able to pair a warm sweater underneath it.
So, if you sized down to an extra-small, then you won't be able to fit a nice warm chunky knit underneath,
but I will with the size small. If you haven't heard of the brand Blank NYC, then definitely check them out.
I will link this below for you, but I love this, and this was such a steal.
I literally got this for$ 78 US dollars for a real suede leather jacket. So moving into a few accessories,
I picked up these absolutely gorgeous rose gold cubic zirconia huggy style earrings.
So they're quite small and dainty, but I think that they're absolutely
gorgeous. They look almost kind of like, vintage feel. I think it's like filigree that they have on the edge here,
I can't remember the exact name for it,
but I just think that they're absolutely stunning and they just really kind of make a nice statement to your outfit.
They're super dainty and elegant and I just really like that huggy style. I also have a similar pair in right now.
These ones are slightly a little bit bigger. These ones out are sterling silver and so are the rose gold actually.
So these are sterling silver.
I don't know how they make it rose gold with sterling silver, but that's what they've done with these ones,
and then these ones are just straight-up sterling silver with the cubic zirconia as well.
They're just really dainty and again had a nice statement to your outfit, and dainty accessories
always kind of elevate your outfit and make you look a little bit more expensive.
so that definitely always helps and these are super affordable.
I believe I picked them up from TJ Maxx and I probably paid under $20 US dollars for them.
So, that's a really great way to add some
nice pieces of accessories in it to your wardrobe that are very affordable. Moving in it to handbags, now straw,
wooden and woven bags have really been a trend for this summer,
And they're a trend that I think are going to continue to come back year after year,
They just have a really kind of nice, beachy feel and summery vibe about them. I picked up this wooden style bag from
Topshop and I immediately fell in love with it when I saw it.
It is definitely designer inspired and I think it makes a really great designer dupe.
It's definitely reminiscent and very similar to the Cult Gaia bags in its wooden structure.
However, the Cult Gaia bags are more of an arc shape, whereas this bag is more of a rectangular or square shape.
I like that it's really kind of it's own bag in it's own right. It's not a complete knockoff.
It's just a really good kind of designer dupe, and a way to get the look for a lot less.
Now Topshop has taken things a step further, and they've added this really nice strap. Now, this is a faux leather,
removable strap so it can be worn off your shoulder or slung over as a crossbody, as well.
Because it's detachable, you can just have it as a top handle bag,
which I think actually makes the bag look a little bit more high-end and expensive,
if worn without the strap. If the strap wasn't enough, they've taken things even further and added this really nice linen pouch
inside the bag. Now this material kind of reminds me of like what a drop sheet for painting looks like, but you know,
that's just my opinion, but I do really like that. It has a drawstring closure,
so all of my valuables are really secure inside and I don't have to worry about anything slipping out through the wooden panels.
This one I believe is under $70 Canadian. If it's still available, I will link it.
However, there are a lot of similar bags on the market right now, a lot of brands are doing this style bag.
I think I'll be able to find the exact one from a different retailer,
so, I will definitely link that below. Now on the theme of straw bags or woven bags or even like wooden bags,
this one is more of a plastic
woven style bag. Now, this one I actually found while I was on layover in
Mexico, so it's quite authentic.
It was made in Mexico actually,
but I really think it's a few trends in one, which is what I love so much about it. So, it definitely has that
summery beach bag feel to it. It's kind of a squared off shape, kind of like a bucket bag style bag,
but then it also has this gorgeous kind of rainbow print going for it. Now,
it's not a complete rainbow,
but I've picked it up in a lilac, a peach and more of like a coral pink colour,
which I think is really fun. It just really like, makes your outfit pop.
It's always nice to have a fun pop of colour in the summer and it contrasts with kind of white paneling behind it, and then it
has a beige strap. Now this bag surprisingly fits a lot.
So, I'm just going to open it up and I can actually stick a whole lot inside.
So, I think it even fits my iPad, my phone, wallet, you can even stick another whole bag in here, sunscreen,
probably a magazine. It's really a great bag. So, it's always kind of fun to pick up pieces like this on holiday,
ghat way you know it's authentic, not everyone's going to have it, pretty much no one is going to have it.
So, it's really kind of special to you. Now
I'll be honest with you wasn't 100% sure how I felt about the
belt bag or a fanny pack trend. I never thought that fanny packs would really have a
moment again, I didn't really think they'd resurface as a huge trend like we are seeing right now.
This is a way that I felt very comfortable wearing the trend and I just really like kind of the summery beachy feel to this.
Surprisingly, this is so handy to have and I didn't actually
realize how convenient a fanny pack or belt bag is, its so nice to be hands-free.
So, it actually flattens right down which makes it really nice for packing. It is attached to the belt,
so it's not a detachable bag,
but it wraps right around you and you can actually wear it quite high waisted which I like. The grommets quite,
extend quite far, and I mean they are a nice gold hardware grommet, like for Topshop,
that's really nice. It's lined with kind of like a linen feel material behind.
So, it's just a really, actually,
well-made bag for what it is ,and it surprisingly fits a decent amount. So I can fit my card holder inside,
I can fit my cellphone and a lip gloss, which, you know,
there really isn't too much more I need. when I'm just on the go, or quickly running out. So, I like the pretty
contrasting floral pattern on it and I think this is just a really fun piece, and it's a really fun way to
incorporate the belt bag trend,
but also to incorporate some straw accessories into your summer wardrobe. The last piece that is new to my wardrobe
but I haven't actually had the opportunity to use yet, is this gorgeous camera style bag from Ted Baker.
It still has like the plastic bits on it, just because I haven't used it yet.
I did recently purchase this bag, but I picked this one out more kind of with autumn and winter in mind.
However, this bag I think came in about four or five different colours and I opted for
the lighter gray colour just because I felt like it would be a really versatile piece for all year round. It has the gorgeous, iconic
Ted Baker rose gold details on, around the pearl detail, and then on the zipper and on the side.
It's just a really nice, well-made bag. Then it has these gorgeous pearls on it,
which is super feminine and girly, and really fits in with my personal style. Ted Baker makes really nice bags
and this one was actually purchased on sale.
I don't do a ton of sale shopping in the summer,
but if I'm going to do a little bit of sale shopping
I definitely look for pieces that I'm going to be able to get a lot of use out of and aren't just like a
trendy piece specific to that summer and that season. So, I want to find pieces that are
practical, that I can use everyday.
This one has a detachable crossbody strap so I can use it as a clutch bag or hanging off the shoulder, or as a crossbody.
Then it has the leather on the top of the ros gold across body strap just for added comfort on your shoulder,
which is a really nice touch. As a tip for shopping sales, pieces like this that you're going get a lot of wear and use
out of, that's definitely what you want to look for in the sale.
So, look for kind of more neutral items or things that you don't think are going to go out of style,
or are going to date that quickly because that makes shopping sales so much more worthwhile.
So, that's everything that is new to my wardrobe for July.
I have placed an order for a few pieces from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale,
So I will probably be showing that to you in my 'What's new in my wardrobe' for August.
