Alpine Waterfall

 Waterfall Cardi-Mr.Price/Jeans-Edgars/Shoes-Country Road/Skull Bracelet-Sass Diva
I Am so enamored with this amazing waterfall knit, I love the print and the fit is amazing! Perfect for the chilly days we've been experiencing lately. The colours are lovely too, the black is the perfect contrast to the nude colour! I adore waterfall cardigans, I'm also on the 'prowl' for a waterfall leather jacket, they're so gorgeous :)




Have a lovely day everyone!!

In which our heroine actually smiles with teeth

I'm waiting for a package that was supposed to be delivered by end of day today, which was an hour ago according to UPS. Such a frustrating exercise when these things don't show up when scheduled. *mutters angrily* *kicks things*

Yes this is totally a "first world problem" but I want my package!

Today I tried something new - smiling with teeth rather than just smizing at the camera! I'm usually very uncomfortable smiling in photos since I don't really have a chin and when I smile that particular affliction becomes more noticeable.


Focusing on the positive, I like how this dress emphasizes my favourite body part - my neck.

Dress: Thrifted from Formerly Yours (local)
Necklace: Pretty Chic
Shoes: Fluevog Truth | Pilgrim

Pretty psychedelic dress, eh? I almost didn't buy this dress because the purple and yellow (gold) combination reminds me of high school. These were my school colours. Eck!




I bought these shoes at the Gastown store in Vancouver in 2010. I almost didn't get this colour because I didn't think it was very versatile but I'm glad I took a chance.

I also wasn't sure about the "white wax" coating but I really like how the blue colour underneath is starting to show through as the wax starts to wear off.

These shoes were the shoes of my dreams in the 1980s. Pointy toes, big buckles - glad I can have them now.

I also have a pair of my other dream shoes, the Munster. If only I had the courage to wear them.

Little 'Bow' Peep


 Cardigan-Jay Jays/White Lace top- Woolworths/Shoe-Mr.Price/ Accessories-Gifted
Sometimes there's nothing better than donning a cute, girly cardigan and girly lace top underneath. There's something that makes it so sweet yet at the same time, it's simple and minimalistic too! I paired it with my new pointed pumps which I absolutely love, and pearl accessories to finish off the whole 'look'! How was your weekend?

I hope you have an amazing day everyone!!

A day off


Friday, April 20

This is Friday's outfit but I just got around to posting it now because yesterday I spent most of the day helping my husband to pack up his old studio and move things to his new studio. Then we went to a photo exhibit/competition where my husband won best portrait and then we had supper. It was a long day.

T-shirt: Club Monaco
Jeans: trapperjane.etsy.com
Shoes: Fluevog | Bass Minstrel Marian


Friday was a less busy day but I had a long nap in the afternoon so it was also a bit of a wasted day.







Every person should have a pair of cute, red flats in their wardrobe. I also have these in teal. Once I wore one of each as you can see in this photo. Not really an everyday look but fun for a photo shoot. The funny thing is that when we were taking these photos, our Premier was in the drug store at the same time. Technically he's my boss (at the highest level) but I'm pretty sure he's never met me.














Jetta is doing much better now but isn't quite out of the woods. She's eating more but she's also doing strange things like wanting to stand in sinks full of water but not drinking anything. We're spoiling her rotten too - anything to get her to gain weight.

New =)

 Coat- Zara
Just a short post to show some of my new buys (winter edition), I fell in love with these two coats when I saw them, they almost have that oversized blazer look to them, which I really love! And they're so versatile too, worn with tights, skinnies or even boyfriend jeans:) And my new slippers from Steve Madden are so funky with the skull detail, I love them! And finally this lovely snakeskin print clutch is perfect to liven up casual outfits!
 Brown coat- Cotton On

Have an amazing week everyone!!

Warm Colours

 Jersey & Dress- Mr.Price/ Shoes- Country Road
I am so in love with burgundy for winter, it's such a warm colour and so beautiful too! For this outfit I wore my new jersey from Mr.Price (It's a little bit darker in reality) I decided to layer it over my burgundy dress, and pair it with my tan pumps. I loved how it turned out, and it's definitely a look that I'm going to try a lot in winter, I love sweaters paired over dresses or skirts! 




Have a lovely weekend everyone!!

TGI Thursday

I have tomorrow off so I may have dressed more casually today than I should have because it felt like Friday.



Sweater: Danier via Value Village
T-shirt: Old Navy
Pants: Lilith from NYC
Shoes: Vivienne Westwood for Melissa

Everything is thrifted except for these pants which cost.... well I'm not going to tell you that but I think they were worth every penny. They have everything that I like about pants - mid-calf length, big pockets, wide legs. Irresistible!

Like I said above, I have the day off tomorrow but I'm probably going to end up spending the day helping my husband move stuff into his new photo studio. Hopefully I'll be able to sleep in a little bit.

Also got my hairs cut after work. My red is nice and bright again. A shout out to my peeps at Jay Wells to whom I showed my blog tonight. *waves*
