Boyfriend Cardigan

 Cardigan- Woolworths/Tank-Country Road/Bag-Louis Vuitton/Bracelets-Forever New and Mr.Price/Ring-Sass Diva

Hello everyone, I hope you've had a wonderful week so far! I just adore this cardigan, I fell in love with the colour when I saw it. It's such a warm blue, perfect for denims or black skinny jeans. It also looked lovely with one of my favourite pairs of pumps- these stunning pointed flats. 

I adore this outfit, it's definitely one of my 'go-to' looks :) 

Have a lovely day everyone!! 

Leather Sleeves and Cobalt Blue

Top-Woolworths/Jeans-Viking/Shoes-Mr.Price/Bag-Louis Vuitton/Bracelets-Woolworths and Sass Diva

I'm so in love with these shoes, the cobalt blue colour- along with the super comfortable kitten heel make them the perfect shoe :) They go amazingly well with denim, and I adore them paired with this stunning top that I spotted in store a couple of days ago. I absolutely love the leather sleeve detail, it's beautiful! 

Have a wonderful week everyone!! 

Dressed in yellow, she said hello...

Just got home from having drinks with three people I used to work with at another government department. We all successfully escaped that place. We went to a bar that I used to frequent quite often but haven't been to in about 4 years. It hasn't changed much so it was quite familiar. And it was happy hour so I had 3 beers for $10.29!

The last time I wore this blouse and boots I ended up wrangling chickens in the country.

Blouse: Vintage Givenchy (last worn here)
Skirt: Reitmans (last worn here)
Boots: Fluevog Operetta | Mirella (last worn here)

After yesterday's snow, I wanted to wear something bright and sunny. I'm not sure this colour does much for me but it's nice to think "I'm wearing GIVENCHY!"  And with a Reitman's skirt that probably cost me $15.00.

I think these boots look a lot better on my feet than they do sitting in my closet. They really look kind of yucky when not being worn or combined in an outfit.

My Fluevog nemesis Rebecca (and I mean that in only be most good natured way), Winnipeg style, wears them awesomely in this outfit so I also paired mine with green tights.

I probably wouldn't have posted this outtake if I wasn't a tiny bit drunk.  Someone walked into the kitchen just before the timer went off. This will forever be known as my DERP face.

I'm now off work until the 28th. I'll be posting sporadically until then.

Burgundy Tones

 Shirt and Pants-Mr.Price/Pumps-Woolworths/Bag-Louis Vuitton/ Cuff-Cotton On

Burgundy might not be the first colour that springs to mind when you think of summer, but I think it looks lovely - especially when it's combined with floral prints and cute flats. This tee definitely seemed to make the pants (especially the print of the pants) stand out, the colour is so vibrant! 

I paired it with my brown bag to make the darker shades of brown 'pop' a little bit more in the outfit. 

Have a lovely day everyone!!

Indecisive

I tried on 5 or 6 outfits this morning before settling on this. I rarely wear this blouse - probably because hasn't fit me for a few years. Good thing I held onto it.

Scarf: Gift from my mother
Blouse: from a store in the Glebe in Ottawa
Blue Skirt: Trapper Jane (last worn here)
White Skirt: Smart Set (last worn here)
Tights: Peek Brooklyn (last worn here)
Shoes: Manolo Blahnik (last worn here)

My mother has finally admitted that I'm not going to outgrow the skulls so she bought me this scarf for Christmas.

Not sure what I'm doing in this picture but I appear to be having a good time. Action shot!

Again, the best things about this skirt are the pockets. I was able to store my office dog tags and a bunch of change in them so I was fully prepared to run outside 4-5 times to feed the parking meter. I don't normally drive to work but I did today because I had a doctor's appointment first thing.

Three days of this week behind me...one to go! Unfortunately, or fortunately, I have no meetings tomorrow. That usually means that the day just drags on forever. Let's hope I'm able to keep busy!

I know who a square is...

I'm a little late with the blog today because for the first time in 12-18 months I went out to my knitting group. I stayed an hour because I had to run a few errands afterwards but hopefully I'll get back into the grove of going to hangout with mah knitters.

Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutique
Dress: Bitter Root Vintage on etsy (last worn here)
Fishnets: Sock it to Me (local store)
Shoes: Fluevog Wonders | Ayers (last worn here)

My coworker told me that I shouldn't wear a cardigan with this dress. I would normally agree but 1) it was cold and 2) I usually keep my ink covered at the office.  It does kind of hide it's fabulousness.

Look! I'm standing in a different pose! Like Wendy Brandes! She smiles more nicely than I do though.

Another one of my coworkers went a little gaga over my tights though a woman on my bus gave me the stink eye after wrinkling her nose at them. Poor woman doesn't have much fun in her life I'm guessing.

Two days down, two days left and then I'm off for 9 days. YAY!

A Weekend In Cape Town

 Top And Shorts-Zara/Shoes-Mr.Price/Bag-Louis Vuitton/Bracelet-Mr.Price

There is nothing better than a relaxing weekend away, spent with the ones you love, especially when it's in one of the most beautiful cities! I absolutely love Cape Town, it's magical :) I wore something flowy and comfortable-perfect for the hot sunny weather. A simple striped, oversized 'man' style shirt, paired with my favourite Zara white shorts and flat ballet pumps. 

I definitely can't wait to visit again!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend too! 

Have a lovely day everyone!!
