striped pants – these have been a huge trend lately, as i haven seen them all over instagram and stores such as brandy melville and urban outfitters. i have a few pairs myself, but i could always add to the collection…
tie up tops – i love these tops so much! they are very elegant, but at the same time give me european beach vibes.
plaid pieces – i love plaid, so so so much. i have a pair of pants, the same ones as pictured in the furthest right image. they are from h&m and i adore them!
graphic tees – as i’m sure you will know, the 80’s are making a comeback, and bringing graphic tees with them! i love graphic tees so much, they can be styled with pretty much everything!
funky sunglasses – the sunglasses pictured above are super on trend at the moment, always popping up on instagram and pinterest.
mom jeans – i love mom jeans so much. they are so comfortable and stylish! i’m still on the hunt for the perfect pair. i had a great pair that i thrifted, but i ended up turning them into shorts.
thank you so much for reading! i really hope you enjoyed! what pieces have you been loving lately?

now onto the post…
so this is my backpack, its the black fjallraven kanken in the regular size. and i LOVE it so so so much! it looks pretty small, but it can fit a lot inside and it has many pockets and pouches. i have to wear a uniform at my school, so my backpack is one of the ways i express myself style wise!
so here are the items in my kanken…
p e n c i l c a s e – this is pretty self-explanatory, but i have a pencil case with a bunch of pens, markers, pencils, & highlighters!
w a t e r b o t t l e – its really important to stay hydrated during school, so i like having a water bottle in my back pack.
c h a r g e r – this is a must have if you are allowed to bring any devices to your school!

hello lovelies! i hope you all are having a great sunday. i’m sorry that i haven’t posted in a while, my summer has been full of activities and i haven’t managed to blog as frequently as i originally hoped. however i have some exciting posts planned!! anyways, today i am collaborating with one of my favourite bloggers frankie over at frankiedotb. i love her blog so so so much! the design is beautiful, her photos are so lovely, and her posts are so thoughtful and original! she blogs about fashion, food, design & so much more! go check out her blog here!
anyways, we thought we would share four things that we are loving right now, here are mine!
m a g a z i n e s
i have recently been really into magazines, my favourites being frankie and uppercase. here are a few of my favourite pages from each.
a few days ago i picked up my first frankie magazine, and fell in love! the design is so amazing, the illustration is gorgeous, and the articles are so great, i just love it! for the longest time i thought that you couldn’t purchase them in canada, and was so jealous of all my friends in australia, england, america and new zealand that could read them. then i went to london drugs (a a little grocery store in canada ) and found one! i was so happy.
uppercase is full of beautiful illistrations, creative crafts, gorgeous products, and articles mainly focused on art & design. it has so many unique craft ideas and i feel so inspired when i read it! i really love the water colours ( featured in the third picture ) and am planning to try and paint some similar to them!!
j u l y p l a y l i s t
my second pick is my july playlist. i am in love with each and every song found on this playlist. here are a few favourites…
coffee by beabadoobee – such a beautiful song, the lyrics are so thoughtful and the song is really well constructed. i love this artist so much, her songs are so creative!
b.o.m.d. by clairo – this song is so clever and absolutely gorgeous, i love any song by clairo
afraid by mimi – i have been watching mimi on yt for quite a while now and i was so happy when she started writing music! i love her voice, its so beautiful
o u t f i t
my next favourite is this outfit, its super casual, but still cute. my top is from brandy melville, and its amazing. i’ve worn it so many times and i just love it so much! you can’t really tell from the photos, but it has pretty little white flower detailing all over it. i thrifted these shorts. they were only $2! originally they were mom jeans, but i cut them and made them into shorts. i love the wash of these. and finally, my shoes are from converse. they are plain white & really comfortable.
* thanks raf for helping me out with this photo haha
b r e a k f a s t
and finally, my last pick is breakfast, my favourite meal of the day! i love starting my day off right with a nutritious meal, and here are some of my favourites!
thank you so much for reading this, i really hope you enjoyed! and remember to go check out frankie’s post, i loved collaborating with her! if any of you would like to collab in the future, send me a dm, email me, or simply leave a comment!
thanks,

Hello! I hope you all had an amazing week! The summer is approaching, only a week to go for me!
I have a ton of exams this week, so I’ll be quite busy. I’ll make some room for blogging though! Once school ends, I’ll have a bunch of free time to blog! Whoop whoop!
I have four finals this week, and guess what I have been doing instead of studying for exams? Making mood boards 🙂
I spent a ton of time looking for beautiful images on pinterest. I tried to stick to a pinkish / brown theme and aimed to incorporate drawings and quotes! I love how it turned out. I put my mood board over top of my lovely chair from ikea. I posted a room tour, which you can read if you would like to see my entire bedroom!
Anyways, as always, I hope you enjoy

I also have been really active on my instagram. I have discovered many bloggers on there, all the photos are lovely! School is pretty good, tiring at times, but thats okay. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this quick post and listened to some of the songs, I love them all!

Hello! I hope you all are having an amazing day. I thought I would share a flat lay of some of my favourite things. I’ve been on a bit of a writers block. Out of ideas and inspiration, but over the summer I will make sure to post tons! I can’t wait for the summer to arrive.
Anyways, onto the items!
milk and honey – I have talked about this book a ton! Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur is full of poems and beautiful illustrations. It is so inspirational, I recommend giving it a read.
hoop earrings – I love these earrings so much, they are really simple, yet so elegant! I have to wear a uniform at my school, so wearing these really spice it up haha.
lomography camera – I was gifted this camera by my dad, and I love it! It is so pretty and vintagey hah. I’m not sure if it works because I haven’t gotten the chance to purchase film, but I’ll keep you posted.
lee’s mom jeans – And finally, my favourite item, my THRIFTED lee’s jeans. I have been searching for the perfect pair of mom jeans for the longest time ever, and I think I finally found them! Oh, and they were only $2! Yes I repeat, $2. I have been really into thrift shopping, I posted a thrifting tips blogpost here.
Thats all for today, I hope you enjoyed! What are some products that you are loving now? xxx Jasper
hello!
a room tour is by far my most requested post, so i decided to clean my room and share some photos! i spend most of my time in my room, so i like to keep it organized and pretty looking. we moved into this house almost two years ago, and after hours of rearranging, designing, and planning, i am finally happy with how it looks. i hope you enjoy xx
this is where i sleep, read, and watch netflix! i wanted it to be quite minimalistic, with a pop of colour. my bed is from ikea along with the light, and the string lights are from vietnam. i have a pretty palm leave and a small box resting on my nightstand, a block of wood.
i absolutely love this clothing rack! my dad and i made it a couple months ago based on a design we found online by chloe larkin. it is so cute and really easy to make, it only took us half an hour. on my clothing rack, i have my favourite clothing items, the rest are in my closet. i also have my converse and my kanken.
this is where i do my homework, write blogposts and do art! i don’t know if i enjoy the appearance of my desk right now, it is quite messy and unorganized. anyways, my desk is from ikea, same with the drawers. on my desk is a bunch of art supplies like pencils, paint brushes, and sketchbooks.
this is where i get ready in the morning! the larger mirror is from ikea (surprise surprise!) in this area, i have a bamboo chute, a magnifying mirror, and a bunch of my favourite skincare and beauty products. i also have a cute jewellery dish. in the drawers below, i have all my makeup products, perfumes, and skincare products.
i quite like this corner of my room! i have two mood boards, a travel one with my scratch map and the other one features a bunch of photos that i found on pinterest! i also have a candle sitting on top of a couple of favourite books and a journal. my chair is from ikea (again!) and the pillow is from indigo.
here are some other parts of my room. the first image is of my mirror and a vintage stool with a pretty plant! you can also see my polaroid wall. the second image shows a book shelf holding some of my favourite novels and a jewelry stand thing. this area also has my two favourite beauty products and a plant!
thank you for reading! i hope you enjoyed xx
