Jumpers And Brogues

 Jumper And Brogues- Mr.Price/ Shorts- Woolworths

I Really adore this jumper, the print is so sweet and the colour is perfect for chilly winter days, it just warms you up looking at it :) I thought it would look lovely tucked in to my 'winter' shorts and paired with a more masculine shoe like these amazing patent burgundy brogues. In the end, this outfit is definitely one of my favourite looks! 

Have an amazing day everyone!!

Interview with KATEFP

In her closet: Fashionable passion

Hello everyone, The wonderful KATEFP invited me to do an interview on their blog called 'in her closet'. You can see the rest of the interview here 

Thank you so much again to KATEFP for the lovely feature:) 

Have a wonderful day everyone!! 

Kissy, kissy!

I wore the same skirt today that I wore last night, that I got for my birthday yesterday.

Cardigan: Danier via Value Village
T-shirt: Smoking Lily Hama Hama top
Skirt: Smoking Lily Lilibet skirt
Shoes: Fluevog Prepares | Guide

Today was a Smoking Lily day. Top, skirt, coat and scarf. Fun stuff!

Hey! There was another "under the desk" photo taken by Beth! That's 5! (Me, Sheila, Megan Mae, Izzywizz and Beth!)

Here's the back where you can see the screen print flies a little better.

I don't really have much to share today. Yesterday was such a great day so today was pretty quiet in comparison. So here are 7 random facts about me.

1. When I was a teenager I won a trophy in the sport of Curling.
2. I like reading about infections and parasites.
3. I hate cooking. HATE it.
4. My favourite fruit is raspberries.
5. I'm a fan of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and have been to 2 fight events - one in Montreal and one in Las Vegas
6. I'm allergic to all non-prescription pain killers.
7. I've had surgery 5 times - tonsils, bunion removal, two sinus surgeries, and a tubal ligation.

Fascinating isn't it?











My husband found my photos from the Mercedes-Benz event last weekend.

I don't usually wear lipstick because I tend to lick it all off rather quickly but these photos make me think I should wear it more often.

When I was in high school, I liked to wear bright red lipstick. I stopped after some girls put some quite hurtful messages in the school newspaper about me. I guess they thought I deserved it because I "stole" one of their boyfriends. Girls can be very cruel. You couldn't pay me to go back to being 18.

That's all for tonight. In the words of Miss Piggy "Kissy-kissy!"

41

Today I learned a few things:

1. There are 3 Duran Duran songs which contain the word "birthday". Rio, Come Undone, and Secret Oktober
2. Turning 41 means I've finally become senile. I forgot to wear Fluevogs on International Fluevog Day. DOH!
3. I have awesome family, friends and coworkers (though I did know that before today but it was totally reinforced).

For some dumb reason, I decided to wear my gold Noa Noa shoes to work today. Maybe I felt like a Golden Girl?

Sweater: Joe Fresh
Dress: Anthropologie
Shoes: Noa Noa via eBay

I hadn't planned on wearing this dress so I guess I confused myself and ended up grabbing a pair of non-Fluevog shoes. Silly Megan.

I do love these shoes though.

Today my friend from the bus "A" brought me a little cupcake, and at work today my coworkers gave me a necklace, a cupcake, and a wind-up squirrel.

MMmmmm...cupcake.

 My sister and BIL bought me some books - the autobiography about The Bloggess and a book about couturier Elsa Schiaparelli which is very cool.











My mom bought me some things at Smoking Lily when she was there in February.

This is the Lilibet skirt with the flies on it and a scarf with octopuses on it like my octopus coat. She also got me some earrings with shoes on them.  She knows me so well.

My friends bought me a gift certificate for a "soul restoring" pedicure and the Angry Birds board game. FUN!

My husband bought me a new iPad and case and his photo studio partner's son made me an Angry Birds hat.

Luckily I remembered to wear Fluevogs tonight when we went out for dinner.

All-in-all, a pretty awesome birthday. 41 has started off very auspiciously.

OOTD- Wearing My New Sweater

 Sweater-Country Road/ Collar and Bracelet- Woolworths/ Pumps-Mr.Price/Bag-Steve Madden

So Yesterday I decided to wear my new sweater, and I have to say I love it. For me, it's the perfect fit -slouchy and warm! I also wore my new collar, I adore it so much! It's so easy to wear and can instantly spruce up a plain outfit into something fun and chic. I'm even on the lookout for a silver one for outfits that would suit silver better! I know I say this quite often, but THANK YOU for all your lovely comments on my last post:) 

Have an amazing week everyone!!

And the droning engine throbs in time with your beating heart

I bought this dress last year and for some unfathomable reason today was the first day I've worn it. What is wrong with me?

Sweater: Club Monaco
Dress: Heartbreaker Fashion from Pretty Things Boutique
Belt: from another dress
Shoes: ASOS

And by happy accident, my shoes and this belt from another dress match the colour of the birds on the dress perfectly.

My co-worker, who is a fellow eBay addict and fan of the fashion, said to me "Today's outfit is a home run. Sometimes your outfit is a base hit or a double, but today you hit it out of the park." I'm not a baseball fan but I appreciate the analogy.

I wore my ASOS shoes again today (last worn here). I first ordered these a few months ago and for some stupid reason I ordered them in the UK3 instead of UK5. I just returned them but I kept thinking about them so I finally gave in and ordered them again.

My tattoo looks nice with this dress what with its bird and similar foliage motif.

(What the heck am I doing with my hand in this picture?)

And a big SHOUT OUT to Megan Mae for her under the desk photo! This makes 4!

One of three

This is one of the three outfits I wore yesterday. The changes were mostly weather based since it was cool in the morning, cooler in the evening, but in the middle of the day it was sunny and nice.

Sweater: H&M
T-shirt: Club Monaco
Skirt: ModCloth
Shoes: Vivienne Westwood Anglomania for Melissa

I had to run downtown to drop of some clothes at the consignment store and this skirt was originally in my "give up" pile. I had second thoughts so I thought I'd give it another try. I think I'll keep it now.

I think I was going to give it up because I remember it being shorter than this but since it's knee length I think I can get a lot of use out of it this summer.

While I was at the consignment store, I picked up some white/blue striped trousers for $30.00 which I'm looking forward to wearing as soon as possible.

I'm not usually a fan of heart shapes but I like this stylized version from Vivienne Westwood.  I got them on sale a few weeks ago from Ginza Queen and it hasn't been close to warm enough to wear them until yesterday, at least for a few hours.

Time for a pedicure!

OH, and a big SHOUT OUT to Izzywizz in Norway, the latest to join the photo trend of "fashion bloggers under their desks". =)
