Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery

Sometimes I'll see something on another blog and I get really excited and all of a sudden I've bought something I wouldn't normally have purchased.

Case in point. Forest City Fashionista made this post. It reminded me of going to the Public Library on Saturdays to watch movies. That's where I saw the Pippi Longstocking  and the HR Pufnstuf movies, both which made a lasting imprint in my brain.

So I too wanted to Embrace my Inner Pippi Longstocking.

Excuse the hair. I was just napping.

T-shirt: Carousel Ink on etsy
Skirt: Reitmans
Tights: Carousel Ink
Boots: Fluevog Radios | BBC (last worn here)

To be truthful, I wear these boots a lot, just not to work I guess.

So when I bought the tights I also bought this t-shirt. Whenever I buy something I usually end up buying two things. I like even numbers.

Showing you my inner Pippi. I wore these to work yesterday but I wore them with my American Apparel wrap dress and my Fly London booties.






























The back of the t-shirt is my favourite part. Not sure if Pippi would have worn a corset. In fact, I'm sure she wouldn't.

Have a nice weekend everyone.

Terminal tight blow out

Day 2 of having a perfectly wonderful pair of tights get a terminal run in them. It happening to this pair is extra hard to take.

Dress: Mode Merr via Pretty Things Boutique (last worn here)
Tights: Emilio Cavallini from Peek Brooklyn (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Queen Transcendent Jody Elizabeth (last worn here)

I knew I shouldn't have worn these with the detail on the back. I'm pretty sure that's what led to the run that started in the foot.

CRAP!

And these don't seem to be available anymore. I'll have to try and use my google skills to try and track down another pair. I has a sad.

Luckily I used my gift card today to order new tights from Peek Brooklyn. I'll try to be less hard on the new pairs.

Bejeweled Top

 Top-Country Road/Jeans-Edgars/Shoes-Mr.Price/Bag-Louis Vuitton/Bracelets-Sass Diva/Ring-Woolworths/Daisy Ring-Marc Jacobs

This outfit was great as a birthday look, I love the clean silhouette of the black top and skinny jeans and the sweet jewel detail on the front of the top is just lovely. I paired it simply with my favourite shoes at the moment-my black kitten heels, and my Louis Vuitton for a touch of colour! 

Have a great day everyone!! 

Winter white

During the fall and winter I tend to stick with dark coloured clothing. Today I went completely outside of my comfort zone and wore off-white head to toe.

Blouse: Vero Moda (last worn here)
Skirt: ebay (black version worn here)
Shoes: Nine West (last worn here)

I almost had a total fashion faux pas this morning. I had no idea what I was going to wear so I put on my undergarments and did my makeup as usual.

After trying a few outfits I decided on this. Then I looked in the mirror and


o_O


Ooops.  I was wearing a black bra and red underpants which you could see perfectly clearly through these clothes.

So everything came off, out came the beige underthings, and everything was put back on.

Proof that advance planning is essential!

Yesterday's skirt? It's in my donate bag. It was just too big. I thought about taking it in but it was cheap so I can surely find something better. And Sheila very wisely said "that black pencil skirt has to go! It's doing bad things to your bum, missy".

This skirt does better things for my bum, if I do say so myself.

These pantyhose? So cool but they're in the garbage now. I got a run in them today. :(  Oh well. Recently I won a $100 gift card from Peek Brooklyn so I'll be getting some new fun tights soon!

Sucker for stripes

Elle Fanning recently did a candy/sweets filled photo series for New York magazine. Of the photos, my favourite was this photo where she's wearing clothes from Thom Browne's Spring/Summer 2013 collection, which I thought was genius.

But then I'm a sucker for striped tights.

Today I wore a extremely toned down homage to this.

I came across more "witchy" than haute couture but I felt...rebellious. Funky.

Top: Anthropologie (last worn here)
Skirt: Pretty Things Boutique
Tights: ?
Shoes: Manolo Blahnik (last worn here)

See, not even close to Elle's outfit! I really need black and white striped tights.

This skirt is also way to big for me now so I guess I'm in the market for a new black pencil skirt.

Ok, time to eat dinner and then watch curling!

Avec mes lunettes

YAY! I'm back to working one job instead of two! YAY! It was extremely relaxing and grounding to focus on my own things. I hope the feeling lasts through the week.

The weather here has been crazy. Yesterday it was +7C and pouring rain. Today was -14C and we had blizzard like conditions in the morning. It's incredibly strange. To me, it seems to prove global climate change since our weather patterns are changing and becoming very unusual.

I wore my hipster glasses dress with decidedly unhipster shoes.

Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutique
Dress: Eva Franco (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog On Course | Portside (last worn here)

Since the new Acting Director started today I thought I'd wear my tallest shoes. Psychologically trying to make up for my "failings"? Maybe.  They also work pretty well with this dress.

Red heels of happiness.


































Speaking of happiness, these just showed up on the Fluevog website. GHU!!!

Denim And Sneakers

 Denim Shirt-Mr.Price/Jeans-Edgars/Bag-Givenchy/Shoes-Isabel Marant/Bracelet- Cotton On

I still love these sneakers so much, they are perfect for any outfit and so comfortable too! 

I paired them with a charcoal denim shirt, and skinny jeans- it's definitely a favourite look of mine, I adore the casual feel and the two denims combined! I hope you have a wonderful week ahead, it's my birthday tomorrow so I'm super excited he he :) 

Have an amazing week everyone!!
