I’ve been in saving mode for some time, trying to limit my expenses and only buying things that are on major discount. The end of the month of February/beginning of March gets extremely difficult to not find things that are marked down so low that they make you feel like your stealing!

The first thing I found was this coat, mixed in with pea coat in the basement of my local Urban Outfitters. But what I really had found was a beautiful blue leather jacket by Australian brand Ryder. I’ve always been a big fan of the cool-girl label, which uses a great mix of graphic prints and beautiful colours. The coat was marked down 84%, coming in at less than $100.

The next must-have that I found was this Marc by Marc Jacobs laptop bag, that will double as a purse. I’ve wanted it since the day I saw it, and that’s one of the reasons that I love shopping at Hudson’s Bay. If you keep your eye one something, you can always get it at a great price! I ended up with this baby for just over $40, and could not have been smiling any bigger as I left the store last week.

With the weather warming up, we are super excited to wear all of the new dresses we’ve picked up, but I’m not quite ready to put away my boots. I live in a tiny little apartment, where only half my wardrobe can fit into my tiny closet at a time. It’s okay, I plan ahead  for the season really well and have learned to deal with the concept of storage. I currently am still in winter, caused by busy work schedules and I’m okay with that. My boots are still out and good to rock for a few more days, before being replaced by sandals.

Winter weekends are about warmth and comfort. Sweaters should be soft, pants should be warm, and you should enjoy wearing your clothing.

On the weekends, I love wearing more comfortable outfits, it’s a time when I can dress down and feel good in some of my favourite pieces. These pants by Cut25 are actually cut amazingly. My BFF, Jordana, and I both picked them up when shopping on our recent trip in Miami, we both have completely different styles and bodies, and they worked of each of us perfectly.  Finding miracle pants like these are rare, though, the two of us have worked the same items before with brands like Jbrand, Banana Republic, and Joe Fresh. What are some brands you and your best friend love?
