Metallic Madness

Blazer-Zara/Metallic Top-Woolworths/Pumps-Mr.Price/Bag-Alexander Wang

This blazer is perfection! I had my eye on it since it was released, but never got around to buying it, until finally I saw it on sale- and the last one in my size nonetheless. I picture it with so many outfits that I can't wait to try out! For this look, I paired it with my metallic striped top, to bring out the gold details. And I'm also wearing my new toe capped pumps from Mr.Price, which I also love-they're gorgeous:) 

Have an amazing day!!

Like some new romantic looking for the tv sound

The humidity has broken! YAY!!

As of Friday, I will be off work until after Labour Day. Unfortunately, I have a lot of work to do before Friday but mentally I've already checked out. I hope I can get it together tomorrow. I can be the Queen of Procrastination.

You may notice a trend in my outfits lately. I can confirm that this was not planned. It's just coincidence.

Another grey, tiered/layered dress. I almost didn't wear this because I knew it was very similar to yesterday's dress but I couldn't help it!

Necklace: Pretty Chic
Dress: Flying Tomato (thrifted from Dress in Time)
Shoes: Fluevog Wonders | Ayers (last worn on Saturday)

I love this dress! For me, this is the perfect summer dress. It's light, it has interesting details, and it's not your run of the mill sun dress.

It's hard to find summer dresses with sleeves too so this was a good find.

Back shot - not overwhelmingly interesting.

I made a hair appointment for Saturday. I have the best hair stylist ever so it's a treat to go to the salon. I think I might be having about an inch cut off so my hair is more Louise Brooks-esque.

I wore my Lily Munster necklace today. Sorry about the glare.

Playing with me like a cat

I enjoyed wearing my layered/tiered dress so much that I wore another one today. It's still warm and annoyingly humid.

Cardigan: Modcloth (last worn here)
Dress: Colleen Eitzen (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Pin Downs | Raquel

These shoes make me feel very tall and this cardigan makes me feel very.... young? Immature? Sweet? Not sure how to describe it but maybe I won't wear it to work again unless it's Friday.

The back is awfully cute though. KITTY!

Speaking of cats, mine have been very lethargic. I'm presuming this is because of the weather? Anyone else have extra lazy cats?

Dress sans cardigan. Flouncy!

Today I booked my flight to Ontario to go to see two Duran Duran concerts at Casino Rama. WHOOOOT!! So excited! These two concerts are the last in their long tour that began last year. I hope they've kept something extra in the tank for their Canadian fans.

She wants to be your bride, are you gonna do it?

Yesterday we went to a wedding of some friends that B knows from photography and from playing D&D. On Friday, I went out and bought two new dresses to wear at the ceremony and the reception. At the last minute, I decided to wear neither because I wanted to wear this new piece of body jewellery that B bought for a steampunk photo shoot.

I saw this a few months ago at the Atlantic Fashion Week's Emerging Designers showcase. It's by a Prince Edward Island designer called Overman.

These photos were taken after the ceremony and before the reception. The ceremony was outside and it was hot and humid so I'm looking quite droopy.

Also, B took this photo and didn't say "smile" so I'm looking like I'm going to smash the camera.

Dress: anthropologie (last worn here)
Vest: Overman
Shoes: Fluevog Wonders | Ayers (last worn here) 

I'm amazed at how slimming this dress is. I'm so glad I bought it when I did.

These shoes were perfect for wearing to a wedding. I was comfortable all night and got no blisters.

I didn't do much dancing since the "DJ" played a lot of crap (my opinion which doesn't mean much) and only played 1/2 of Duran Duran's Rio.

I did drink a lot so today has been a bit of a write off. I slept until 1:30 - bliss!

Here's the back of the vest. I have to say this made me feel pretty fabulous. I highly recommend Overman's jewellery.

Apparently I need a haircut too. =)

Black And White Knit

 Knit and Wedges- Cotton On/Bag-Aldo

I'm so in love with this classic black and white combination knit, it's so pretty! I decided to wear it with my black wedges, and quilted Aldo bag. It's a pretty simple outfit, (which I always love) but I still adore the slouchy fit and the blocked colour! 

Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Paranoia, the only valid point of view

This combination was inspired by this outfit from Amber. I really liked how the layering created blocks of colour.

Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutiqu
Dress: Soda Fountain Dress from ModCloth
Belt: ?
Skirt: eShakti (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Presence | Impulse (last worn here)

If you follow the link to when I last wore the skirt, you'll see that there is a design of shoes above the red band (yes it's red, not orange). This dress covered it up pretty perfectly.

I didn't know my necklace as all askew when I took the photo. Ooops.

Sans cardigan.

I was trying to stand differently but I mostly just succeeded in looking awkward.

I'm taking the day off tomorrow because I'm pretty burnt out and I have some things to deal with including figuring out what to wear to a wedding on Saturday.

Leaving On A Jetplane

 Blazer-Zara/Bag-Aldo/Shoes-Bensimon/Scarf- small boutique

This is the outfit that I chose to wear to leave for Paris, I love the scarf-I'd been searching for one with a skull print for ages so when I saw it, I immediately decided to get it! Hopefully some posts that I scheduled will work (it's my first time trying to schedule a post haha). And I'll definitely try and keep updated with all your lovely blogs when I get back:) 

Have a lovely day everyone!!
