Stripey goodness

Today was my last day as "interim Acting Director" so I dressed the part. Oh no, I didn't.


Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutique
Dress: anthropologie
Belt: Le Chateau
Tights: Hue
Boots: Fluevog Radios | ARD (last worn here)

Last time I wore these tights was with almost the exact same outfit. Only difference is the dress. I wanted to wear the orange eShakti dress but it really needs to be ironed so I threw on this thing.

Not really feeling this.

Good enough for a Friday!

Have a good weekend everyone. In most parts of Canada, Monday is a holiday but not here. Poop!

If you can't beat them, go completely overboard

Ah Valentine's day.






As a married person, Valentine's Day was an annoyance. As a separated person, it's a pretty good reason to hit the bottle. Luckily, I have dumped all the alcohol out. Except for the beer I bought tonight at the mall. But that's another story.

Anticipating that today was going to be a difficult one, I decided to just go totally bonkers with the red clothing.




Look at me embracing the day that is named after Saint Valentine. Even making a cute heart with my hands.

Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutique
Dress: Eshakti (last worn here)
Tights: ?
Shoes: Franco Sarto (last worn here)

Red hair, red lips, red cardigan, red dress, red shoes. I had put on red tights but it was just too much. Even for me, who loves red.



and a red vintage slip!

And a pin with a skull on it. To demonstrate my true feelings about this day. o_O


Here's an outtake. I was trying to take the above photo when my coworker came into the kitchen. This is me covering my tracks and pretending that I wasn't doing anything. I like the look on my face.

I'm currently sitting on my couch, with my fireplace on, my cat at my side, waiting for my Swiss Chalet dinner to arrive. Including apple pie. I'm making the best of things.

My coworkers were so very good to me today. As difficult as things can often be at work, it's much easier to go in every day when you work with good people.

So good day to you Valentine's day. I said GOOD DAY!


Valentines Day

Happy Valentine's day everyone! I hope you've had a magical day so far, whether you celebrate it or not! :) 
Naturally the perfect colour to wear on Valentine's day is pink. (other than red of course)
 I opted for something rather different in the shape of a baggy tee and equally baggy jeans for a day look, paired with my vibrant neon toe capped pumps to bring out the colours in the rest of the outfit. I love the subtle femininity the colour adds to the otherwise 'boyish' silhouette of the pants.

I hope you have an amazing day everyone!

The Hardest Button to Button

I've recently found myself car-less. Wha-wha-wha....yes I know this is 100% a first world problem, but I'm finding it hard to adjust. I'm committed to giving living without a car at least a month before I even consider whether I should get a new car. The telling point will be the first time I go grocery shopping. Keep me in your thoughts.

Luckily I'm cute as hell!


Cardigan: from Zellers
Dress: Joe Fresh (last worn here)
Belt: Le Chateau
Boots: Anthropologie (last worn here)

Last time I wore this dress with burgundy accessories, going outside my comfort zone. Today I just stuck with the black, green and yellow motif.


Today was one of those days where people were really trying my patience. Luckily I have good coworkers and friends who can talk me down when I'm contemplating jumping off the building.



And with that, let's turn out back on this perfectly frustrating day.

The 300

I AM SPAT-AAAAAA!


Wearing a shirt with shoes with spats on them, to be exact. (ok, that was really lame. Don't blame a girl for trying to be creative.)

But seriously, could there BE a more perfect shirt motif for me? I think not.



Shirt: Love Charles Vintage on etsy
Dress: Ballerina Cut-out dress (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Miracle | Meera  (last worn here)

Since this is my 300th post, I thought I'd wear my favourite new shirt, my favourite dress, and these shoes that I haven't worn in almost a year.

I wish I had some "spatty" type shoes that would match this outfit. I must keep my eyes open for some red buttony boots.



300 posts is no where as exciting as Sheila's 1400 but I'm pretty thrilled that I've lasted this long blogging.

Here's to another 300. Thanks everyone for your positive feedback and support!


Pyjama Style Shorts

Shorts-Cotton On/Pumps-Mr.Price/Bag-Celine/Bracelets- Sass Diva and Mr.Price/Rings-Cotton On
Shorts are definitely one of my favourite summer staples! I love how easy they are to wear, and the styles they come in are endless. These shorts in particular, are perfect for a hot day- the flowy material and light colour tone is gorgeous. I paired them with a simple black blouse and pumps for an easy-to wear, casual outfit:) 





Have a great day everyone!!

Blue day

Today was unofficially "blue" day. I was chairing an interview panel and we all wore blue and two of the interviewees were in blue. And it was a long day where I was also feeling kinda blue. I'd really like for things to start going my way. Come on 2013! Bring me something good!

This is my last week as "interim acting Director" and I will be glad to go back to doing one job again. It's been a long 2 months!


Gotta go outside and shovel more snow.  See you tomorrow for post 300!
