Grey and Black

 Cardigan and Pants-Mr.Price/Vest-Country Road/Shoes-Zara/Necklace-Mr.Price/Rings-Topshop and Woolworths/Bag-YSL

Grey and black is one of my favourite combinations to wear. Although it's quite a muted colour palette, I still think that it can look so elegant! I also love this cardigan- the elbow patches are such a nice touch and the fit is just right. I paired it with my Zara studded shoes and simple black pants. 

Have an amazing week everyone!!

Rewind to Friday

This is what I wore on May 31st. Friday after work I went out with a friend for A drink which turned into THREE when it started to pour rain. After the rain stopped I tawdled home and found myself eating tacos at a wine bar after I stopped to pat a dog in a doorway. Whoops. Hence, this post is a little late.

Dress: Lilikoi from Chartreuse Style (last worn here)
Shoes: Alexander McQueen (last worn here)

I decided to wear a tank top underneath this to provide more coverage without having to wear a cardigan like I did last time.

I love how flowy this skirt is. This will probably be my favourite summer dress.

I could wear a nice crinoline under this on days that aren't 30C, as it was on Friday.

And since these shoes have skulls on them I tried to make my bling match.

Embrace peculiarity indeed.

I hope everyone had a great weekend.

With and Without: Printed Skirt

I'm loving printed skirts lately, especially when they're paired with delicate, plain blouses. I suppose that's why I bought this skirt in the first place, I fell for it instantly! I love the little print and the black blouse looked great tucked in for a softer silhouette. I must say, I'm also so in love with these Topshop boots, they're stunning!

 Have a great weekend everyone!!

Buy me a martini

Just back home from dinner at a diner nearby. Burger, poutine, and cherry pie with ice cream. I am very full.

It's too darn hot, too darn hot here so going out to a place with air conditioning was a good idea but I ate too much.

Dress: Bettie Page via Modcloth (last worn here)
Shoes: Swedish Hasbeens (last worn here)

A hot day called for a sleeveless dress. I take medication that tends to make me sweat so avoiding the dreaded "pit stain" is important to me. Seems like I'm going to need to get a few more sleeveless dresses if it's already 30C at the end of May.

This dress has cocktail glasses on it and I got it from Modcloth a year or more ago. It's a nice bright yellow, as are these shoes.

I had a secret under the dress. This very relevant slip.

Buy me a martini, indeed! Alas, I stuck with beer tonight. Hope everyone is keeping cool.

Speckled Zara Knit

Cardigan-Zara/Jeans-Edgars/Boots-Cotton On/Bag-YSL

Love this cardigan! I love how the speckled detail is so prominent and the length is perfect for me! I also adore these shoes, (I bought them with studs too!) the heel is the perfect height and the buckle detail is lovely.

Have a great day everyone!

Monday night excitement!

So here's what I wore to work yesterday. La la la la la.

Dress: from Fresh Collective a few years ago (then called Fresh Baked Goods) (last worn here)
Tights: American Apparel
Shoes: Fluevog Big Presence | Desmond (last worn here)

La la la. Here's the back.

Someone at work asked me how I found tights the exact same colour as my shoes. Just luck!
































After work, I walked home and though I perfectly intended to wear this out at night to a MOST EXCITING EVENT but I ended up having a wardrobe crisis and I changed because I had been invited to a party. At the Fluevog store. In the Distillery District.

WHERE THIS HAPPENED!!!!!!

Yeah, that's John Fluevog and me. Whateves.  Just a normal everyday thing.

Except it WASN'T! It was so very exciting! I was so nervous and I may have been a little star struck. That's strange isn't it? The manager, Andrew, was so sweet in coming with me to get my photo taken and then John signed my shoes.

My crazy vintage purple pointy toed Fluevogs that I got in ebay a few years ago. I'm so glad I changed and wore these because I learned that these were from a shoe line in the 1990s.

Really, he was very gracious and lovely. I'm glad I finally got to meet him. My only regret? I forgot to tell him that we share a birthday!  I think he was in Toronto for the Air Canada announcement since Fluevog will be providing the shoes for the new flight attendant uniforms.

I hope his staff don't think I'm totally crazy. I didn't stay very long since there was a big crowd and I'm not good in crowds. I'm very happy that I was invited to this event.

And here's what I wore today. Blah blah blah.

Cardigan: my purple one I wear all the time
Dress: Dorothy Perkins (last worn here)
Tights: Pretty Polly from Peek Brooklyn
Shoes: Fluevog Bellevues | Laura Evans (last worn here)

When I bought these shoes I had no idea how perfectly they would match this dress but they do. It's the pink buckle that really pulls it together. You're a genius John Fluevog!

A few months ago I won a $100 gift code from Peek Brooklyn these are one of the pairs of tights I purchased. Pretty Polly tights are great quality. I've worn these about 4 times and they look as perfect as when I opened the package.

So very cheeky!

Anyway, that's my story!
