Black And White

 Blazer- Mr.Price/Faux leather shorts-Cotton On/Pumps-Cotton On/Blouse-Mr.Price/Bag-Givenchy

I Love the classic combination of black and white, to me it just looks so chic and timeless! I suppose that's what drew me to this blazer in the first place, the touches of black against the white is just stunning!

 I paired it with my leatherette shorts and chain detailed slippers for an edgier look, with a simple buttoned up blouse to complete the outfit. 

I Hope that everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend! :) 

Have a great weekend everyone! 

Toronto. I am in you.

Title stolen from Wil Wheaton who says that on twitter whenever he's traveling to new cities. But it's true, I am in Toronto. :) I arrived yesterday afternoon and I haven't really stopped smiling since.

I'm temporarily staying in a small flat that I found on airBNB.com. I'm starting looking for a place with a vengeance but I'm not expecting it to be easy. 

Today I just walked around down Queen St., up University Ave and then down Dundas, kind of in a circle.

Here's what I was wearing.

Dress: Smoking Lily (last worn here)
Tights: ? (they are way to long so I'm throwing them away)
Shoes: Fluevog Presence | Impel (last worn here)

I wore the BIG SKULL cardigan as well.

I brought a lot of Smoking Lily clothes because they are completely washable and don't really wrinkle. You'll be seeing these pieces a lot until I get a permanent place and have my stuff delivered from Halifax.

So here's some of the things I saw today.

First thing I went to breakfast. I had The Standard, not the Disco Breakfast. I'm not sure what makes it Disco - maybe I should ask.

Walking down Queen Street I saw this sign at a Poutinerie. OM NOM NOM indeed.

I saw this adorable display in the window of The Knit Cafe. It's a knit cat playing with pompoms. Adorable! I didn't bring any knitting so maybe I should go there and get some yarn for a small project.

I went to the new Gravity Pope store and saw this special edition colour of the Fluevog Queen Transcendent | Nefertiti. I like this colour much better than the black or pink at the Fluevog store. Might have to go back....

Guess where I went next? Yup, less than 24 hours in the city and I was at Fluevog.

Terrible photo but I left with the Swordfish Postmodern Slushy (I keep calling them "Squishy"). I've been lusting over them for a few months now so it was fate.

I'm usually a 7 1/2 in Fluevogs but in these I got the 6! They fit very big. There's your tip of the day. Size down!

After going to Fluevog I walked to where I'll be working and then walked to where I'm living. It's about a 30 minute walk. Not too bad.

Walking back to my apartment, I walked past the Art Gallery of Ontario. This was on the window. I'll take it as a sign. :)

After getting back to my place I went out to a Vietnamese restaurant recommended to me. Had a yummy vermicelli bowl.

I'll have to find a grocery store soon or I'll be broke.

When walking back from the restaurant I saw this sign outside a salon. I really love grumpy cat too!

Better run. I'm going to grab a bite to eat and then I'm having a drink with someone I used to work with in Halifax who moved here about 18 months ago. I'm a social butterfly!

Shades Of Blue

 Blouse and Pumps-Mr.Price/Jeans-Viking/Bag-Louis Vuitton/Bracelets-Mr.Price/Rings-Woolworths & Sass Diva

I think this blouse is such a pretty colour, the light shade of blue combined with the white is so soft and feminine! I also love the collar detail, it makes what would have been a very simple and casual shirt pop a little bit more! 

I combined it with boyfriend jeans for a contrasting look, with my adorable baby blue cat pumps and Louis Vuitton Neverfull bag. 

Have a wonderful day everyone!! 

Plaid and Frays

 Shirt-Shorts-Pumps-Mr.Price/Rings- Mr.Price/Bag-Gucci

I think a plaid shirt should have a place in everyone's closet! It's the perfect, laid back shirt to wear and I just love how easily it goes with denim shorts to create a great summer look! This one is a particular favourite of mine, due to the studs on the shoulder (obviously haha). I wore it with my frayed denim shorts, Gucci bag and pointed flats. I loved the addition of brown, it seems to go perfectly with the red and blues in the outfit. 

Have a wonderful week everyone!! 

Free sweater on the bus

Today was my last day of work. Nine years at the same job, nine years working with a bunch of the same people. It's been a very emotional day capping off a very emotional week. So draining.

You're probably be seeing a lot of this cardigan and dress since both will be accompanying me to Toronto. Most of my clothes have been packed for storage so I'm already sort of living out of a suitcase.

Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutique
Dress: Emily Ryan Ballerina Cut-out dress (last worn here)
Tights: ?
Shoes: Messeca (last worn here)

I was starting to wear through the soles of these shoes so I had the cobbler put rubber soles on them. So I've lengthened their lifespan and they are also much less slippery.

Today was my last trip to work on #BusNo5. One of the people that I sit with, knowing my love of skulls, brought me this cardigan. She had ordered something from ModCloth and they sent her this in error. Rather than having her return it they said she could keep it. She's a public librarian so she didn't think this would fly in her workplace so she gave it to meeeeeeee!  Free Cardigan! Free SKULLS!

HUGE SKULL on the back! Such generous people here. I bet no one on the subway in Toronto would give me a free cardigan.

Prove me wrong Toronto! Prove me WRONG!

Bowler Hats and Cat Pumps

Denim Shirt and Pumps-Mr.Price/Cardigan-Woolworths/Rings-Mr.Price/Bag- Celine

Wearing a hat is definitely something new to me, I don't often feel the need to buy a hat (beanies are a different story though hehe) but this gorgeous bowler happened to be an exception. I needed it the moment I saw it, so much so in fact that I bought it in olive green as well:) I love the way it sits, and the way it brings a certain 'dressed' up feel to any outfit! 

Have a great weekend everyone!! 

Skeletal anatomy

If you are a medical student, or someone studying human bone structure, then you need to get this dress. It is a wearable cheat sheet!

Dress: Rad to the Bone dress from ModCloth
Blouse: Dept (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Wonders | Ayers (last worn here)

Yes, I wore this to work today. What are they going to do, fire me? ;)

The most awesomest thing about it? It glows in the dark. I tried to get a picture but it didn't work with either my camera or my iPhone. If you go to the ModCloth page they have a photo of it.

Today was my penultimate day at work and I was taken out for lunch. It was sad. Then my day got extremely shitty and I left work early. Would it be wrong for me to go to bed at 6pm?
