On Repeat

I'm often made fun of because of how I listen to music. I find a song I love and listen to it on repeat until I'm sick of it and by then I've discovered a new song that I love more. Most people like to have hundreds of songs on their ipods but I'd be happy with 5. I may or may not have 15 mixed cds that have the same 5 songs on them and then a few others for good measure sitting in my glove box. Knowing this about me, I guess I can't be too surprised about how I've been wearing coats lately. First I was wearing my blue Zara coat non stop. Then the weather warmed up a bit and I discovered my green blazer. Now my new Joe Fresh trench is my go-to jacket. I bought it a size too big so I could layer under it and it's been the perfect outer layer against the rain.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go listen to Adele's Set Fire to the Rain and hug my trench coat.

I picked up these gorgeous Kate Spade Leena's on sale and have been holding them hostage until Spring. I know you're probably sick of us Vancouver bloggers complaining about the rain but I just didn't want to risk ruining them by wearing them in bad weather! I was so honored when I was asked by Flare to share what shoes I'm looking forward to wearing this Spring and I knew I had to showcase these sparkly beauties. Of course it poured rain the day I wore them (resulting in dark photos and a lot of jumping over puddles) but there is a 97% chance it will rain every day in June anyways so it was actually kind of appropriate.

What is everyone up to this weekend? I've been extremely busy at work so I can't wait for a weekend off. I have been trying to fill my evenings and days off with my girlfriends so the next few days are packed with girly goodness (read: shopping, lattes and reeeaaally unhealthy food).
