Thank you Xie-Xie

 I have a lot going on in my life right now. Some big changes that are happening very quickly. Some exciting, some confusing, some hard to take, but all very scary. I don't mean to vague-blog but as things coalesce I'll be more forthcoming. I'm just trying to explain my lack of substantive dialogue here today.

So glad tomorrow is Friday. 

I might be as confused as hell but I'm trying to face the days bravely and looking cute as hell.

Colour Blocking and Cat Pumps

 Blouse and Pumps- Mr. Price/Shorts- Zara/ Bracelets- Mr.Price and Sass Diva/Rings-Cotton On

This blouse is beautiful, I adore the black and white colour blocking. But it's the shoes that I'm completely obsessed with, they are just so adorable! They definitely remind me of the popular Charlotte Olympia cat pumps, I love them! I paired the blouse with simple baggy white shorts, and spiked bracelets for an edgier addition:)

Have an awesome day everyone!! 

Spring ahead

I'm not a fan of Daylight Saving Time. I think it's an outmoded model and we should abandon it. I also hate that people call it Daylight SavingS Time (pet peeve). Drives me buggy!

So since we're going to be losing an hour of our lives on Sunday morning, and I think the concept of artificially changing time is stupid, I think my cuckoo clock dress is appropriate. (Then again time itself is subjective so maybe it shouldn't matter what's on the clock. If you want to read a good book about time I recommend Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman.)

Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutique (worn multiple times)
Dress: Smoking Lily (last worn here)
Shoes: Fly London

At first this morning I put on a purple cardigan but I thought red might be an interesting choice. And I got to wear my new red shoes.

I like them a lot but I think that the wedge between the heel and the ball of the shoe appears to be an after thought. It doesn't bug me enough that I didn't buy them though.

What do you think of daylight saving time? Does it bother you enough to want to move to Saskatchewan or Indiana or another place where there's no time change?

The way the blue could pull me in

Blue is a fairly recent addition to my wardrobe. I don't remember wearing a lot of blue in my younger days and then I went through the "I only feel comfortable when I'm wearing black" phase (yes, I do remember saying that....out loud).

Now I find I'm wearing blue quite frequently. Today I may have over done the blue palette. Or is that possible?

Shoes: Fluevog Prepares | Guide (last worn here)

Have I really not worn these shoes in 7 months? That's kinda crazy! They really are a perfect match to this dress.

I was wearing these bracelets. I bought the same ones for my coworker as part of her birthday present. Now we're like Joey and Chandler - BRACELET BUDDIES!

These are nicer than

Luckily I didn't buy them from the Liberace House of Crap.

I really am over due for a haircut. My stylist is in Costa Rica so I'm going to have to wait a while longer. Ugh!

Spatty

Sorry about the lengthy disappearance. I went home to go to my mother's 70th birthday party. WHOOO!
 
I think it's pretty well documented that I have a love of buttony, spatty, boots. I happen to own a few pairs.

So when I came across this pair of Fluevog booties that are no longer available, in my size, it made sense that I would want to add them to my collection. What can I say? I'm greedy.

Top: Anthropologie (last worn here)
Skirt: Krista Larsen (last worn here)
Boots: Fluevog Bellevues | Ida Clark

These boots are from Fluevog's vegan collection. They are canvas and fabric. I think I'm going to get some clear nail polish to keep the fabric near the zipper from fraying.

I like how the fabric looks like mattress ticking or seersucker.  It gives them kind of a old world feel.

I wore another pin that I got from Vitamin G on etsy. Maybe not entirely work appropriate but I wasn't meeting with anyone from the public or senior management today. The woman who owns the coffee shop in my building said "She looks like you!"  Ha!  I wish.

Lastly, I wore my new mouse ring. So sweet and it matches my tattoo.

I'm glad to be back! I'll be here all week. 

Stripes and Pearls

 Striped Top-Country Road/Jeans and Pumps-Edgars/ Pearl Bracelets-Mr.Price/ Gold hair cuff-Woolworths/ Bag-YSL

I have been searching for the perfect striped top for quite some time now, I had so many outfits in mind that were just waiting for that striped beauty to appear- and so when I spotted this somewhat slouchy striped top, I knew I had to have it. I paired it with skinny jeans and flat ballet style pumps, and finished off with a light coat of red lipstick to complete the look. I love this outfit, although I just  might be on the lookout for another perfect stripy top- this time in blue and white hehe:) 

Have a wonderful week everyone!! 

Baby Pink and Grey

 Shorts-Zara/ Tee- Mr.Price/Shoes-Mr.Price/ Bag-YSL/ Bracelets-Sass Diva/Necklace- Mr.Price

This combination of the grey tee and baby pink shorts is just so cute! I love the colours combined, and the nude shoes and necklace look great against the other tones. I love this type of outfit, a simple tee and short combo, that's livened up with pretty accessories! It's perfect for a busy summers day :) 

Have an amazing weekend everyone!!
