Catching up.

I finally have cable and wireless internet! WHOOOOO! Donovan from Rogers is a wizard! He set up the modem fairly quickly but the cable/PRV installation took a little longer. Turns out my TV is a little old and it didn't like the HDMI cable that he was using so he had to jigger something out of regular coaxial cable. I spent most of yesterday getting caught up on Game of Thrones. Go TEAM IMP! :)

I may not have been blogging but I've still been taking outfit photos. This is a long one...

April 22

Dress and belt: Anthropologie (last worn here)
Boots: Cydwoq from Gravity Pope's Toronto store

I bought these boots on a bit of a whim. They were on sale and in my size. I'm not sure about the "furry" uppers and I'm not going to be able to wear them again until fall. I do love the metal heel though.

Dress: Desigual (last worn here)
Shoes: Hush Puppies (last worn here)

You will see these shoes a lot this week. My feet were a mess from all the walking in bad footwear so I just stuck with these shoes which are very comfortable. Maybe not the best walking shoes but certainly better than what I had been wearing.
























I like this dress but I think I'll be putting it aside for a while. I wore it a lot during the month I was in TO with only a few things. Plus I'm not as comfortable wearing it without tights and it's definitely too warm right now for anything other than bare legs.

YAY! "New" clothes!!

Dress: Charlotte Taylor (last worn here)
Shoes: Fly London (last worn here)

This outfit was appreciated by my work mates. I'm not sure if everyone realized they were giant ants but no one said "yuck".

I need to replace this cardigan soon. It has served me well but it's starting to pill and lose its shape.

I was glad to be reunited with these striped shoes!

Shirt: Smoking Lily (last worn here)
Belt: from Lut Boutique in Vancouver (last worn here)
Skirt: Chalet (last worn here)
Shoes: Poetic License (last worn here)

I have decided. I hate this belt. I hate the zipper, I hate that it's mostly elastic, I hate how it fits. So I'm going to purge it. Out out damned belt!

I took a back photo but it just showed how wrinkly this skirt gets after a day of sitting. DELETE!

Here's my "Canada Day" dress. It was starting to get HOT.

Dress: thrifted (last worn here)
Shoes: Franco Sarto (last worn here)

Stripes are big right now. As are asymmetrical hems so even though this is an older dress that I found in a consignment store in Halifax, it feels pretty "current".

True confession time (and a PRO TIP). I had to hold the front closed with a big paperclip. Quite a fantastic improvisation if I do say so myself.

And I quite like the back of this. Whoever designed it was thinking when they matched up those stripes into "consummate Vees".

This is a long post. I'm running out of stream.

Cardigan: Knit by me (last worn here)
Dress: forevamore on etsy (last worn here)
Belt: from a store in Winnipeg
Shoes: Hush Puppies (see above)


























I like how the back drapes down.

And fishnets! Whooo!

May 2


Ok, this is the last outfit since I forgot to bring my camera on Friday.

Dress: Thrifted (last worn here)
Leggings: ?
Shoes: Hush Puppies (AGAIN!)

Black two days in a row. Must be feeling dark.

I was wearing my "I believe you have my stapler" Office Space pin. Only 1 person in the office got it.

Ok, my next post with be later today with today's outfit and the opening of the new Fluevog Store!

I apologize for how this post formatted. I messed around with it trying to fix it but I mostly failed.

Ace Frehley naked

Someone found my blog by searching for "ace frehley naked". I think my work here is done.

In other news, today I drank a latte. Not really news unless you know what I haven't had a coffee since 1995. It was possibly not a good idea since after I drank it I wasn't able to do much productive work and I felt kind of gross. It's not like I don't drink caffeine since I drink tea and Coke Zero like it's going out of style but it didn't really sit well. It tasted pretty darn good though.

Yesterday after work I hobbled over to the Eaton Centre to get a pair of shoes that I could walk home in. Yes, I could have taken the street car and it wouldn't have cost the same as a pair of shoes, but where's the fun in that?

I got these Hush Puppies at Town Shoes. And while there, I ran into a guy who used to work at Cora's in Halifax who is now the Assistant Manager at Town Shoes. o_O. Small world? Yes!

Not exciting shoes but they got me home without stopping and curling up on the sidewalk in pain. So YAY to Hush Puppies! And really, black flats with corset type lacing? Seems good in my book.

Top: Smoking Lily (last worn here)
Skirt: Ziliotto (last worn here)
Tights: Hue (last worn here)
Shoes: Hush Puppies

Look at me! I'm looking over my other shoulder! I'm CRAZY! First coffee, then changing my poses! What's next?

After work I went to the Hollywood Laundromat to some some laundry. Then I went to dinner and had some awesome cherry pie for dessert.

Yes, I do believe I am happy.

Good night!

Stripes and dots and stripes, OH MY!

Today my co-worker asked me if I plan my outfits in advance and strangely I don't. Or if I do, I generally change my mind in the morning. I guess I'm a "fly by the seat of my pants" kind of girl. I'm easily distracted and give in to my whims.

For example, I didn't know what to wear today so I picked out a pair of shoes and built this around them.

Sweater: Pretty Things Boutique (last worn here)
T-shirt: Lilith from Paris
Belt: from Lüt Boutique in Vancouver
Skirt: Smoking Lily (gift from Sheila, last worn here)
Shoes: Anna Sui for Hush Puppies (last worn here)

Another co-worker (Hi L!) jokingly noted that HORRORS, I'd be showing these shoes again so soon on the blog! Forgive me.

Whenever I tell people that these are Hush Puppies they are pretty shocked. I guess I should be more clear and say they are Anna Sui for Hush Puppies but not many people I work with will have heard of Anna Sui. Oh well.

Know you're weird. No, you're weird!

Pyjama dress 2: Electric Boogaloo

She - Wore - LEMON....

Sweater: Club Monaco
Scarf: came with a hank of hand dyed yarn by knitivity.com
Dress: eShakti
Shoes: Hush Puppies from beyondtherack.com

Got these shoes from Beyond the Rack - one of those discount designer/name brand clothing websites. They were super discounted so I thought, what the hell. And they're yellow.

Since I tend toward outfits that are "matchy matchy" I decided to wear them with my yellow pyjama dress.

It was a grey, foggy day here so this was a nice sunny choice. It's not the most inspired outfit ever though.

Comfy shoes, pyjama dress = slightly yawn?

This is probably something that Captain Obvious would say but these also look good with jeans.

In other news, I'm so happy that I'm going to be getting my haircut this week. My "Louise Brooks" style is starting to look more "Little Lord Fauntleroy".
