'Hare' Raising

 Toggle Coat & Jumper-Mr.Price/Chelsea Boots-Woolworths/Bag- Candy Bag by Furla/Rings-Sass Diva

This jumper is so adorable- I'm really loving the rabbit print, it's so sweet! And the colours are perfect for winter. Of course it was too cold to wear the sweater by itself, so I threw on my toggle coat that I bought last year and I really love how the outfit turned out! I continued my 'animal' theme with these awesome rings, and finished it off with my chelsea boots! 

 I'm also wearing my new 'love', my Furla Candy Bag. I just fell in love with the colour when I saw it, I think it would look amazing in spring and summer, paired with a pastel outfit:) 

                                       

Have a wonderful week everyone!!

How does it happen, does it fly through the air

Quick early post because I'm on my way to the airport to fly to Winnipeg, which is almost exactly the middle of Canada. I have a stop over in Toronto but not long enough to do anything other than hangout in the airport.

Here's my flying outfit.

Blouse: from Crimson and Clover consignment
Cami: Envy (local store)
Skirt: Smoking Lily Lilibet skirt (last seen here)
Leggings: Hue
Shoes: Fluevog Adrian | Alli

Lots of layers so if I get too warm I can adjust things and I have a cardigan to throw on if I get cold.

No yoga pant plane wear for me. =)

It's Saturday, it's Saturday, hey nonny nonny and a ha ha ha

Busy day out and about but I'm taking a moment to recharge before going out again.

I finally had this skirt altered so it fits much better now.

Sweater: Pretty Things Boutique
T-shirt: All Saints in NYC
Skirt: ASOS
Shoes: Vivienne Westwood for Melissa

I love the skulls on this t-shirt so much and the fabric is very soft and drapey.

I know you can't see the shoes but they are these ones.

While I was out running around, I went to what is known as the "shoe Frenchy's". First of all, Frenchy's is an Atlantic Canada thrift store where the clothes are dumped into bins and you have to dig through a lot of stuff to find treasures. Today I found a 100% silk blouse that was 2 sizes too small so I left it behind. Anyway, this Frenchy's is stuffed with shoes. Unfortunately, most of them are pretty cheap and crappy so I doubt I'll go back.

Then I went to Crimson and Clover (mostly) Consignment and Oh My GOD you guys, if you're local you have to go and get some stuff! Lots of amazing things there! AMAZING STUFF!

Here's what I found:

Look! Cute grey blouse - $20. I can see myself wearing the hell out of this.

Then I saw this...

Crazy tunic which weird graffiti like design on it and funky colours. There's a mean looking girl on it and this is what sold me on it...

CATS! Cutie cats! Crazy cats!

And finally, these were pointed out to me. Fly London wedge boots with buttony goodness! I love boots with button details as shown here, here, and here. And their orangy colour is lovely.

Going there is dangerous but if you live in the Halifax area you're missing out on some great things. And next Saturday is 80's day!

Mango Jacket

 Jacket- Mango/Jeans- Edgars/Boots-Aldo/Bag- Louis Vuitton/Jersey-Zara/Rings- Woolworths/Bracelet-Nicci

Wow this jacket is super warm, perfect for a chilly winters day! I also love the detail, the woolen effect is gorgeous. I paired it with my grey Aldo booties, which I bought last year-they're lovely to wear because they have a hidden wedge which makes them so much fun! I decided to keep the basics simple, a plain white sweater and skinny black jeans- so that the jacket would be the focus:) I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your lovely comments and also a big hello to my new followers =) 

Have an amazing weekend everyone!!

Turning Japanese

Today was a very strange day clothing wise. More on that later.

Necklace: gift from coworker from Sierra Leone
Pin: Pretty Chic
Dress: Desigual from Envy (local store)
Leggings: Hue
Shoes: Fluevog Prepares | Guide

Yesterday I went to the mall downtown to pick up some clothing from the tailor. I had a few things that need alteration and when I dropped them off they asked me to give them a week and a half. I gave them a little more than that but they weren't finished yesterday. I should have walked right back out to my car but nooooooo, I had to "window shop". And I found this Desigual dress, on sale.

It's not one of their better made pieces, probably from a less expensive line, but I love the Japanese imagery and designs.

(on the back it says "New and Good")


I started off the day without the leggings and wearing my Noa Noa tulle skirt underneath the dress. Have you ever worn tulle right next to your skin? So uncomfortable! I took it off but this dress is shorter than I prefer so I felt kind of naked so I went out at lunch and bought these leggings. I was also wearing crazy awful support underpants (TMI) that I'm throwing in the garbage! Who needs those kind of uncomfortable underthings in their life?

I also took off the necklace for most of the day because it's very heavy.

Here's a close-up of the design on the front. Pretty.





















BTW, the title of this post comes from the Vapors' song of the same name.

Happy Anniversary

Today is my husband's and my 15th wedding anniversary. I can't believe it's been that long. I don't have any digital photos from my wedding day since there wasn't digital photography way back in the dark ages so I can't post any but I can show you that my husband bought me the most appropriate card ever.

Shooooooes. Brent is as much of a shoe addict as I am so it's doubly appropriate.

Speaking of shoes, I found these vintage Fluevog Swordfish boots on Etsy last week. I couldn't resist them even though it's going to be a while before I can wear them, unless it gets cooler again.

I liken my reaction to seeing these boots to these seagulls from Finding Nemo.

Today was a beautiful sunny and warm day so B and I had lunch on a patio downtown. Unfortunately I wore black today so it was rather warm.

Sweater: Joe Fresh
Dress: Elroy Apparel
Leggings: Joe Fresh
Shoes: Fluevog Wonder | Ayers

I bought this dress a few years ago and when it arrived it was really much too short for me to wear without something underneath it. I really like the white detailing.

This outfit made me feel pretty and confident. I'll have to wear this dress more often.

After work I went to the tailor to pick up a few things I'm having altered. They were not ready yet so I popped into another store and found a Desigual dress on sale for $65.00. It may have found it's way home with me and I may be wearing it tomorrow.

Quilted Tunic

 Tunic-Country Road/Leggings- Country Road/Boots-Trenery/Bag- Louis Vuitton/Rings-Sass Diva

Whenever it gets really cold, I often find myself gravitating to loose fitting outfits-preferably a tunic with leggings, simply because it's much easier to layer with a coat and so much more comfortable! It's so much better to be warm and comfortable in winter than cold and grouchy! I adore this tunic, it's another 'quilted' effect like the top in one of my previous posts, but it's accentuated with zip details and a hoodie-which I think adds a bit of fun to it! I paired it with my favourite black knee high boots from Trenery and colourful rings to add a bit of colour to this simple black outfit! 

Have an amazing day everyone!!
