Studded Top

 Top And Heels-Country Road/Jeans-Viking/Bracelets- Cotton On, Mr. Price and Marc Jacobs/Ring-Mr.Price
Studs are one of my favourite trends at the moment, and this lovely top is adorned with beautiful gold studs that seem to pop against the simple cream colour. I love how it looked paired with my nude kitten heels and boyfriend jeans.
 Gold and cream also happens to be one of my favourite colour pairings, especially on a hot summers day! :) 








Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Studded

I've found myself drawn to all the studded shoes that have been available over the last few months but I didn't really want to spend a whole lot of money on something that likely won't be in style for long. So yesterday I found these at Aldo and they were on sale for under $40 so I decided to buy them.


Dress: Pretty Things Boutique (last worn here)
T-shirt: Joe Fresh
Shoes: Aldo (these ones)

I guess just the red ones were on sale. I wonder why? Red is a perfectly good colour.


Plain, beige, red, comfortable. Not much really to say about this.



I was wearing interesting bling. I ordered this pin from etsy seller Vitamin G Designs. It's bigger than I thought it was going to be, which is a good thing. It's more of a statement.

It reminds of of my Mondrian dress.

I'm going to be off for a few day. Kisses!

Metallic Love

Striped Top-Woolworths/Shorts-Cotton On/Pumps-Mr.Price/Bag-YSL/Bracelets-Sass Diva
Hello everyone, I hope you've had a wonderful day so far! I love this metallic striped top, it's such a pretty colour and paired with my faux leather shorts, the gold definitely seemed to pop! 
It's also a great top to wear in the evening too, the gold metallic brings an element of 'glam' to any outfit :) I chose to wear it with my toe capped pumps, I love the easy flow of the gold and black in the top and the gold and black in the shoes! 





Have an amazing day everyone!!

Royal Purple

 Blouse, Shorts and Pumps-Mr.Price/Bag-Saint Laurent (YSL)/ Necklace-Mr.Price/Bracelet-Woolworths
I'm so excited to show you my lovely birthday present, this gorgeous Yves Saint Laurent bag. I absolutely love the colour-the royal purple is gorgeous and it goes surprisingly well with almost every colour! In this outfit I paired it with a soft grey blouse, and my go-to denim shorts. I love this blouse, the fit is amazing and the two pockets are so sweet! 











Have an amazing weekend everyone!! 

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery


Sometimes I'll see something on another blog and I get really excited and all of a sudden I've bought something I wouldn't normally have purchased.

Case in point. Forest City Fashionista made this post. It reminded me of going to the Public Library on Saturdays to watch movies. That's where I saw the Pippi Longstocking  and the HR Pufnstuf movies, both which made a lasting imprint in my brain.

So I too wanted to Embrace my Inner Pippi Longstocking.




Excuse the hair. I was just napping.

T-shirt: Carousel Ink on etsy
Skirt: Reitmans
Tights: Carousel Ink
Boots: Fluevog Radios | BBC (last worn here)

To be truthful, I wear these boots a lot, just not to work I guess.

So when I bought the tights I also bought this t-shirt. Whenever I buy something I usually end up buying two things. I like even numbers.




Showing you my inner Pippi. I wore these to work yesterday but I wore them with my American Apparel wrap dress and my Fly London booties.






























The back of the t-shirt is my favourite part. Not sure if Pippi would have worn a corset. In fact, I'm sure she wouldn't.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Terminal tight blow out

Day 2 of having a perfectly wonderful pair of tights get a terminal run in them. It happening to this pair is extra hard to take.


Dress: Mode Merr via Pretty Things Boutique (last worn here)
Tights: Emilio Cavallini from Peek Brooklyn (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Queen Transcendent Jody Elizabeth (last worn here)

I knew I shouldn't have worn these with the detail on the back. I'm pretty sure that's what led to the run that started in the foot.

CRAP!



And these don't seem to be available anymore. I'll have to try and use my google skills to try and track down another pair. I has a sad.

Luckily I used my gift card today to order new tights from Peek Brooklyn. I'll try to be less hard on the new pairs.

Bejeweled Top

 Top-Country Road/Jeans-Edgars/Shoes-Mr.Price/Bag-Louis Vuitton/Bracelets-Sass Diva/Ring-Woolworths/Daisy Ring-Marc Jacobs
This outfit was great as a birthday look, I love the clean silhouette of the black top and skinny jeans and the sweet jewel detail on the front of the top is just lovely. I paired it simply with my favourite shoes at the moment-my black kitten heels, and my Louis Vuitton for a touch of colour! 







Have a great day everyone!! 

Winter white

During the fall and winter I tend to stick with dark coloured clothing. Today I went completely outside of my comfort zone and wore off-white head to toe.


Blouse: Vero Moda (last worn here)
Skirt: ebay (black version worn here)
Shoes: Nine West (last worn here)

I almost had a total fashion faux pas this morning. I had no idea what I was going to wear so I put on my undergarments and did my makeup as usual.

After trying a few outfits I decided on this. Then I looked in the mirror and


o_O


Ooops.  I was wearing a black bra and red underpants which you could see perfectly clearly through these clothes.

So everything came off, out came the beige underthings, and everything was put back on.

Proof that advance planning is essential!



Yesterday's skirt? It's in my donate bag. It was just too big. I thought about taking it in but it was cheap so I can surely find something better. And Sheila very wisely said "that black pencil skirt has to go! It's doing bad things to your bum, missy".

This skirt does better things for my bum, if I do say so myself.

These pantyhose? So cool but they're in the garbage now. I got a run in them today. :(  Oh well. Recently I won a $100 gift card from Peek Brooklyn so I'll be getting some new fun tights soon!
