Sunday

My photos from Friday will unfortunately never see the light of day because my photo card broke. Too bad since my outfit was so cute.

Here's a crappy iPhone photo that I took of my skirt and shoes.

Porcupine! I got this skirt from etsy from Salmon Street Studio which seems to have closed.

I was wearing my emerald green Smoking Lily blouse with it.

I may have mentioned on here that I have 3 cats - Dougal, Merlin and Jetta. Jetta was quite old when we adopted her - the shelter guessed she was about 10 - which was about 4 years ago. She's the sweetest cat in the whole world. On Thursday we noticed that she was off her food which is very unusual for her since there's nothing she likes more than food. Yesterday we took her to the vet and the news isn't great. She's lost almost a kilogram which is a lot when you only weigh 3kg to begin with, she was a bit dehydrated and there's lots of nastiness in her urine. Tomorrow she's having an ultrasound of her bladder to see if she has tumours and she's being tested for hyper-thyroidism. Poor little thing.

Spare a thought for my Jetta-girl tomorrow if you can.

Yellow....and chickens

I know today is Thursday but this is Wednesday's outfit.

Yesterday was a very weird day. It started out normal enough - I got up and went to work - but I left work early because I was traveling about 3 hours to a city in a neighbouring province for a meeting that was held today. And that's when things got a little weird.

First, let's set the stage by showing you my outfit.

Necklace: gift from husband from China
Blouse: Vintage Givenchy from etsy
Jeans: H&M
Boots: Fluevog Operetta | Mirella

Pretty bright, eh?

Yes, I was wearing jeans on a Wednesday, something I normally wouldn't do but I knew I was going to be sitting in a car for 3 hours so I wanted to be comfortable. It turned out to be a good choice.

I was hitching a ride with a colleague, B, who was going to the same meeting and when he came to pick me up he said he had to make a stop at his house before we got on the road.

He lives about 30 minutes outside the city and his neighbour had phoned to say that one of his chickens had gotten loose and a dog was chasing after it and had possibly injured it.

When we got to his place he asked if I could help hunt down the chicken. He moved toward his neighbour's deck since the chicken was last seen heading that direction so I went to check out the coop.

That's when we discovered a hole in the chicken wire and two other chickens were loose. The first was caught quite quickly but the other ran into a group of trees and bushes.

So here I was, running around in $500 boots and a Givenchy blouse, flushing a chicken out of the brush and trying to herd it toward B so he could put it back into the coop, saying "here, chicky chicky chicky..bawk bawk"...

We successfully rescued the two chickens we could find and then searched around his yard and his neighbour's yard to find the last and possibly injured chicken. We had to give up though.

Then we drove to our hotel where our meeting was being held, which wasn't even in the city so there was nothing to do other than sit in the bar. I had a beer, a glass of wine and 4 martinis. This was a very bad decision on my part. Definitely not one of my shining moments of intelligence.

Luckily my meeting which was supposed to go until 4:30 ended at 1:30. Sitting in a meeting with a hangover is challenging.

I didn't get a photo of today's outfit because I couldn't find a place where I could sneakily set up my camera.

So glad tomorrow is Friday.


Oh, the missing chicken was found, safe and sound, uninjured. Lucky chicken.

Rock 'N' Roll

 Sheer Blouse- Cotton On/ Wedges- Steve Madden/Rings-Sass Diva/Clutch- Mr.Price

Wearing this outfit suddenly made me feel very rock 'n' roll- like. The all black, and studded detail on the collar of the blouse only added to the feeling. To show off the gorgeous collar I wore my hair up, and finished the outfit with my Steve Madden Wedges which I've posted about before. I love this blouse, it immediately caught my eye when I walked in the shop, I've been after a blouse with a detailed collar for some time now, so I was so happy when this one appeared! 

Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Black and White and Silver

The Good: I went to my favourite consignment store on Saturday to pick up the money I was owed for the shoes that I took to them to sell.

The Bad: I gave them more than half of the money I was owed back buying this tunic/dress and shoes.

Tunic/Dress: americanretro (from Crimson and Clover)
Skirt: Lacy Skirt (Knit by me)
Shoes: Vivienne Westwood Melissa Ultragirl flats (from Crimson and Clover)

This tunic is a smidgen tight in the arms but not enough to discourage me from wearing it. The pattern is a bit loud and hard to photograph but you can believe me when I say that it's cute.

A big Thank you! to whoever gave up these shoes. So cute and shiny and practical in the rain! And they were only $50.00. New these shoes go for $150.00.

I'm heading to New Brunswick tomorrow for a meeting on Thursday but I'm taking my camera. I'm not sure what to take to wear though. I'll have to search through some outfit photos for inspiration.

Casual Denim Look

 Denim Shirt-Mr.Price/ Jeans and Plimsoles-Woolworths/Bag- Steve Madden

I Love this look! It's the perfect casual, comfortable outfit. I love that this denim shirt is longer in the front than the back and has the whole 'boy' look to it! I paired it with my white plimsoles-which are so comfy:) And my new Steve Madden hobo bag that I absolutely adore! 

Have an amazing day everyone!!
