Beady

Black and grey ruled the day. But the main feature of this outfit is this necklace.

Necklace: The Bay
Sweater: Zellers
T-shirt: Joe Fresh
Pants: Lilith in NYC
Shoes: Fly London

All these strands of beads are connected together at the back so it really is just one piece. I like it but I tend to obsessively play with them while I'm working. Maybe that helps me think?

It has been a nice sunny week so far but it's still rather chilly most of the day. Hence the sweater and the wintery booties.

This shirt and the sweater were uber-cheap while the pants and shoes were more expensive. It's interesting how many outfit/fashion bloggers are mixing less expensive brands with pricier pieces. It's all part of mixing and matching and creating new combinations.

Anyway, enough blabbing for now.

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!

OOTD- Isabel Marant Boots

Coat-Zara/ Boots-Isabel Marant/ Scarf-Woolworths/Jersey- Zara/Bag-Gifted

So I finally got the chance to wear my lovely Isabel Marant boots, I'm so in love with them! They are so versatile to wear in winter, and I love the shorter anke length! I also wore my Zara coat, I like to call it my 'man' coat, simply because it's quite oversized and reminds me of a coat a man would often wear, it's lovely though and very warm too-which is always a huge plus in winter! I finished it off with my 'cosy' scarf, an item which I'm sure will be a staple in many of my outfits!

I'm so sorry for the delay in posts-my computer hasn't been much of a 'friend' lately, so I've had a few problems with it, don't you just hate it when that happens? How was your weekend, good I hope? :)

Have a lovely week everyone!!

Sunday fun, Monday hung

First off, here's a link to the article about local fashion bloggers. Just a little snippet about me and some links to some other great local blogs.

Necklace: F21
Blouse: Smoking Lily
Pants: Esprit from eBay
Shoes: Fluevog Faiths Low | Reumah

This is the face of a rather hungover gal. For some stupid reason I decided to make merry last night and drank a few too many Strongbow ciders. Blargh.

Today we finally had warm and dry weather so I broke out my Reumahs. I love the wooden platform and the stripes. They are surprisingly comfortable but I probably shouldn't have gone out for a walk in them at lunchtime.










I was going to write a wrap-up to Atlantic Fashion Week but there are some great ones already written:

Hunter Boots And Navy Jackets

 Boots-Hunter/Jacket-Mr.Price/ Ring-Sass Diva/Skinny Jeans-Edgars

I bought this navy jacket last year, but never had a chance to wear it until now. I love the buttons and the collar. And it's such a lovely length too, perfect for an outfit paired with skinny jeans and my Hunter boots. These boots are just perfect for winter, the navy is just beautiful! And of course they're so versatile too:) 

Have a lovely weekend everyone!!

Day late

Here's my Thursday outfit. I'm late with it because yesterday after work I just scooted home and changed so I could go to the Atlantic Fashion Week Emerging designers event. My husband is the event photographer so I thought it would be a fun evening out looking at clothing.

June 7

Necklace: etsy
Tunic: Lüt Boutique in Vancouver
Belt: from China
Pants: Lilith (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Prepares | Guide

 I love these shoes about as much as Sheila loves hers. I don't know how she can go without wearing them again while she's doing her clothing challenge. She's made of stronger stuff than I!

I think these shoes match these pants perfectly which makes a nice long line.

Two years ago my husband went on a photography trip to rural China, near the border with Tibet. He bought me this belt for next to nothing. I love how colourful it is.

I'd like to do a longer post about last night's event but I have to get ready for tonight's Designer Showcase. I will show you my favourite pieces from the Emerging Designer's show though.






















 I loved this dress from Mitchell Gilroy.

and also this dress from Blue Ladybug.

All all of this body jewelery from Overman who is from Charlottetown, PEI. It was gorgeous! Such amazing metal work. This was my favourite piece of the entire show.
