Pastel Brogues

 Jersey- Urban/Jeans-Edgars/Brogues and Scarf-Mr.Price/Bag-Furla/Bracelet-Sass Diva
Grey and pink has to be one of my favourite colour combinations! There's just something so romantic and pretty about it, so of course this outfit is just right for me. These pink brogues are amazing, the colour is gorgeous! I can't wait for spring so I can wear them with pretty shorts and pastel tones :) And I'm also wearing one of my favourite scarves, it's just so lovely! 





Have a lovely day everyone!!

A single random meeting with your eyes

Today I started the day at the ophthalmologist (that's a hard word to spell). I have a pterygium (don't click that link if you're easily grossed out by eye things) growing on my eye so I have to go to the eye doctor every 6 months or so to have it checked and measured to make sure it isn't growing too quickly. 

After I left the doctor's office, I was standing outside waiting for a taxi when two young girls about 7 and 5 ran past me. About 10 second later, one of the girls ran back over to me and said "I really like your hair style!" Made my day!

Too bad that happened this morning - I need a little pick-me-up like that now. Canada Post has mislaid my Fluevog order. I WANT MY SHOES!

This is a photo light post because this outfit was nice but relatively uninspired.


Dress: Shabby Apple (last worn here)
Belt: from another dress
Shoes: Desigual (last worn here)

I was in such a hurry this morning that I forgot to accessorize.

Here's to tomorrow being a better day.

Slime Green

Last Friday I ran some errands and eventually found myself at Winners. Someone had told me that Winners had a bunch of good quality support undergarments. Unfortunately, they must have all been sold. So I walked around the store holding these green shoes in my arms trying to decide if I needed a pair of Slime Green shoes for $25.00.

I decided what the hell.





Blouse: Smoking Lily (last worn here)
Necklace: Pretty Chic
Belt: H&M
Skirt: ModCloth (last worn here)
Shoes: Bamboo from Winners

My coworker asked me what I called this colour. I said Emerald green. Not sure what other colour this could be described as other than a "jewel tone green". Another coworker said that she likes this top because it just looks like a pretty blouse but then you notice the skeleton ribcage and realize that its got a secret edginess.

Other coworkers debated whether I had worn this blouse before and when I said I had worn it at least 4 times then people said it was time to give it up. Uh... NOPE!



In June I was questioning whether to keep this skirt since it's a wee bit tight. Obviously I decided that I didn't want to give it up and I'm glad of that since Audi of Fashion for Nerds has so perfectly shown its versatility.  These skirts aren't the exact same (I think her's is from Anthropologie) but it's a pretty close match.

I love this outfit of hers the best. I'm going to have to experiment with matching this skirt with different patterns and with longer flowing tops. I'm full of ideas! Thanks Audi!




They have these shoes on the ModCloth website in orange. They don't seem to have the slime green version.

OOTD- Leopard Print Blouse

Leopard print blouse- Mr.Price/Shorts-Jo Borkett/Jersey-Woolworths/Boots And Rings-Cotton On
I'm so enamored with this leopard print blouse! I absolutely adore the collar, with the little tie detail and the thick black line in the centre. I also love the fact that it's so vibrant in colour, and stands out really nicely when paired with a simple black outfit! I paired it with my black shorts, which have such cute pockets on the front- and my longer length cardigan. I'm also wearing these lovely boots, which really surprised me by being so comfortable and easy to wear! And my new rings, which I've hardly taken off, since the day I bought them :) 





 Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Tent dress

I had the day off today so B and I went out for breakfast and then I dropped him off at his studio. I drove downtown to Crimson and Clover to pick up some money from some shoes that they sold for me and once again I broke my vow to run in and get the money and immediately leave.


 (sorry about the crappy photos)

I found a few things on the $5 rack and then I tried on this dress.  Obviously I bought it.

Dress: Gessica Iezzi from Crimson and Clover
Cami: Envy
Shoes: Tn_29 - gravitypope.com

I Googled this brand but I came up empty other than a website that sells accessories in Italy.

The dress has ties inside so you can tie up sections at the front or back or both.

Today it was over 30C so this was actually the coolest outfit that I could wear. I got a nice breeze when I was outside. =)




I think I need to have the straps adjusted but that shouldn't be a very hard task.

I like the gradient colour from the beige to the brown.







Here it is with all the ties untied. It might even look better after it's ironed.

I also went to Value Village and found a April Cornell duster. Usually I find that brand to be a little too precious but the jacket is pretty funky. It has long sleeves though so I'm not sure when I might actually get a chance to wear it.

Navy Coats And Celine Bags

 Coat- Forever New/Bag-Louis Vuitton/Boots- Isabel Marant/ Rings-Cotton On/Bracelet-Woolworths
This coat is definitely one of my all time favourites! I fell in love with the collar when I first spotted it, I love how it ties in the front with the ribbon, and the faux fur gives it a 'classy' feel. 
I decided to pair it with my Dicker boots, which I found out are SO comfortable-and accessorized with my new metal rings and bracelet.





 My mom happened to be looking uber stylish:) So we decided to switch rolls for a moment and I became the photographer -haha. I absolutely adore her blazer and her bag is stunning! She also knows how to work a pair of boyfriend jeans, they suit her so well!

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

ERMHAGERD SKERLS & ARNTZ!!

Today was my Friday so I pulled out all the stops and wore my funnest dress and fabuloustest shoes - together.



Dress: Charlotte Taylor (last worn here)
Shoes: Alexander McQueen

There is an English language school in my building and there are a lot of students there from Saudi Arabia. I usually get weird looks from them but this outfit really confused them. HA!



See, it's purty.



SKERLS!  This picture doesn't really show the proper colour of these shoes. They are quite bright red.  I got these off eBay last year and I love them to bits!
