 Japanese Vogue- June 2012

Have a lovely weekend everyone!!

Partyyyyy!

I just got home because my coworkers and I went out for drinks/dinner after work to celebrate one of my coworker's birthday. Had a weeeee bit to drink so I'm feeling a little fuzzy right now, but in a good way. My cats were happy to see me come home to give them supper - 2 hours later than normal. The horror!

Today I wore I dress that I bought off of eBay about 3 years ago. This was the first time I've worn it though. Not sure why since it's an awfully nice dress.

Sweater: Pretty Things Boutique
Dress: Noa Noa from eBay
Shoes: Vivienne Westwood for Melissa

The dress is silk and it came with a slip to wear under the wrap dress.  It's a wee bit plain but still a pretty dress to wear in the spring/summer.

I don't normally wear my glasses around the office but I had just returned from a meeting in a building down the street so I still had them on when I took this photo.

We actually had a nice spring day today with sun and warmish weather. So I ended up keeping my cardigan off for most of the day.

I love these shoes but I think they are trying to kill me. They flipped off my feet a few weeks ago making me fall down and the did the same thing today when I was running for the bus. I think I need some heel grips for them since I'm not giving them up! I refuse!

I took ballet lessons until I was about 17 and I can still see the ballet dancer in me in these photos.

Boy Meets Girl

 Colour Block top-Country Road/Boyfriend Jeans- Viking/Ring- Sass Diva

I Love this colour block sweatshirt, and it seemed to go perfectly with my boyfriend jeans. I love the fit of boyfriend jeans, they're so comfortable and versatile too! Whether you pair them with a blouse or sweatshirt, pumps or heels they look great:) The vibrant orange of the sweater is stunning too, it brings a much needed pop of colour to the whole look! THANK you once again for all your lovely comments!! 

 I absolutely love this ring, it's so fun and different! 

Have an amazing day everyone!!

Devil with a blue dress on

Today I felt like a whirling dervish all day and finally I realized it's because I hadn't taken some of my medications for two days. I rectified that right away but in the meantime I had amazing mood swings, I couldn't concentrate and I even took a picture of myself sitting under my desk. Admit it though, who hasn't wanted to do that? (I can't believe I'm sharing this but what the hell.)

I'm feeling much better now, thank you very much.

Blouse: Club Monaco
Dress: eShakti
Tights: Hue
Shoes: Marc O'Polo (from Frankfurt, Germany)

The best things about this dress are 1) it has pockets and 2) the cross front on the bodice has a button on it to keep it in place and 3) the empire waist.

I'm not sure what my position is on maxi-dresses. I find them difficult to walk in but I also think they are comfortable and kind of cozy. It's still cold here so I'm still keeping warmth in mind when picking outfits.

I'm even still wearing tights. If I have to wear tights then I might as well wear my funkiest.

Tomorrow is supposed to be 15C and sunny but that's not quite warm enough for me to risk bare legs.

I bought these shoes in Frankfurt a few years ago because I had been walking around all day and my feet were killing me. We had just finished a cruise (which was a disaster but that's a story for another day) and I had only brought TWO PAIRS OF SHOES for the entire trip, neither of which were very comfortable.

These are probably the plainest shoes I own. Plain, grey flats. Yawn!













Hey Everybody! It's time for the meeeeeeting!

When I run out of blue give me red instead

Today it was announced that Duran Duran was going to represent English musical talent at the beginning of the Summer Olympics in London. What I wouldn't give to be there! Whoot! I also learned that the band Snow Patrol is from Northern Ireland and not from British Columbia. Why did I ever think that? Probably some mountain/skiing/avalanche thinking.

Whenever I put this dress on I think "Why don't I wear this more often?"  Then after a few hours, I start to get itchy because the dress is 100% wool and it's unlined. I need to remember to wear a camisole underneath it.

Jacket: Le Chateau
Dress: Diane Von Furstenburg from NYC
Shoes: Fluevog Together Hi | Benatar

As with many dresses, the waist sits about 5 cms above my natural waist so I do find that a little annoying. But despite that and the itchiness I won't be giving it up. It has pocket and it's twirly!

I think that the next time I wear this dress I will wear less chunky shoes; maybe wear my Franco Sarto shoes or my new Desigual shoes.

























I've been thinking about some of the new fashions that are trendy this spring and there's a few that I won't be adopting. These include:

1. Boat Shoes/Topsiders - a staple in the 1980s with any good Preppy teens wardrobe along with Bass Weejun Penny Loafers and Tretorn sneakers.
2. Patterned pants - especially ones made of floral fabric (tartan and stripes are the exceptions)
3. Fancy nail polish designs - I can't stand the way nail polish feels on my finger nails. I do think the designs look pretty though.
4. Mega Platforms - because of the ugly. (this also includes about 99% of Jeffrey Campbell's designs)

One I thought I'd stay away from is the resurgence of neon but I find myself really wanting a pair of neon heels.

Any trends you will be avoiding?

TWILLY!

Denim Focus

 Denim Jacket-Mango/Pumps- Cotton On/Jeans & Top- Woolworths/ Bag-Alexander Wang/Bracelets- Sass Diva

A simple casual outfit of black and soft pink tones, finished off with a denim jacket. I love the contrast of the pink against the black, and the denim seems to break it up in a way that I love! These pumps immediately caught my eye, they're very Chanel-esque with the quilted effect, and the bracelets are absolutely stunning! They are definitely one of my favourite pieces to wear! 

Have an amazing day everyone!!
