Return

Sorry about the disappearance. I was away for work and busy. I'm way behind on reading everyone's blogs too. I hope to get caught up this weekend. Might give me something to do when I'm getting my new tattoo this Saturday! WHOOO!

Lots of changes are afoot at work so I'm a little stressed. And when I'm stressed I procrastinate which makes me even more stressed. Vicious circle.

Jacket: Lilith (last worn here)
Shirt: Reitmans or Smart Set
Skants: Melow par Melissa Bolduc from the Workshop (last worn here)
Hosiery: Sock Dreams (last worn here)
Boots: Cydwoq

Lots of layers going on here.

Does spray starch still exist? I have to do something to fix this collar. I've ironed the hell out of it but it won't stay flat. Kinda drove me nuts all day.

True confessions? I couldn't wear these boots for very long. They close with elastic loops at the back and they are quite tight. I think I've finally come to terms with the fact that these boots and I are not meant to be. I'll probably be consigning them so that someone with skinnier calves can enjoy them. Makes me sad as hell though. *weeps*

Glad to be back!

Topshop Sandton City

 I'm SO excited that Topshop and Topman has finally opened in South Africa! I've been obsessed with so many of their shoes and clothes for ages now, and I'm so happy to finally be able to get my hands on some of them hehe :) Of course it was quite busy today, so I can't wait to go back and see some more of their selection when it's a bit quieter, it looks amazing! 

 But I did manage to get three lovely things, the 'slipper' boots caught my eye immediately, the colour is perfection and I love the spiked detail. I've also been lusting after a bowler hat for so long, so when I spotted this one in store-I pounced on it, I love it! And finally I got the little 'clutch' purse as a free gift, I adore the floral detail- it's beautiful :) 

Have a great day everyone!!

Peplums and Leopard Print

 Lace Peplum-Cotton On/Shorts-Mr.Price/Bag-Alexander Wang/Pumps-Country Road/Cuff-Cotton On

This combination of lace and leopard print is definitely one that I like! It brings some femininity to the edgier shorts and paired with simple nude flats, I think this outfit looked lovely! And of course I love the peplum fit and the lace detail :) 

Have a wonderful day everyone!!

Lace Shorts

 Lace Shorts and Blouse-Cotton On/Cuff-Woolworths/Bag-Givenchy/Ring-Woolworths/Ballet Flats-Mr.Price

I am so enamored with this entire outfit, the lace shorts are just so beautiful! And it looked great paired with the blouse-which also has some lace detail in the form of the collar. It's such a feminine outfit, and I love the 'prettiness' of it:) I paired it with simple ballet flats and this gorgeous cuff, which has the most loveliest beadwork! 

Have an amazing weekend everyone!!

Totally Tulle-ular

This morning when I got dressed I put on an outfit that was almost completely black. Ten minutes later, I was wearing this.

Sweater: Club Monaco (worn a lot)
Top: Anthropologie (last worn here)
Skirt: ModCloth
Shoes: Nine West (last worn here)

Lacy, tulley, kinda springy.

I decided to wear this because I wanted to wear these shoes. Such pretty shooooes. Plus I was tired of dark colours.

The top and skirt don't exactly match but close enough.

At lunch today I went out to some of my favourite consignment stores. I found a great vintage red slip and a pair of Burberry pants! Whooot! 

I felt very pretty in this outfit today. Ethereal. Floaty.

Words to live by.

Blue Birds

Sorry about the no post yesterday. I forgot my camera and the photos I took at home were crap so I took the night off.

Today I wore this dress to match my shoooooooooes of happiness and joy.

Scarf: Alexander McQueen (last worn here)
Dress: Shabby Apple (last worn here)
Belt: Noujica from The Workshop in Ottawa (last worn here)
Skirt: Mexx (last worn here)
Shoes: Miss L Fire (via Modcloth)

Last time I wore this dress, I also wore this scarf. Seems like a logical pairing.

The last time I wore this skirt I wore it over another skirt. Nice to know it works as well under other things too.

I was being watched while taking my photos hence the stupid goofy look on my face.

And here I'm apparently looking to heaven for guidance.

This dress is made of out rather thick cotton so I'm not a huge fan of it but it matches the shoes so perfectly.

Cutest shoes ever? Probably! With little birds and flowers on them. Adorable!

My shoe enabler friend sent me a photo of these. Now they are on my feet. ENABLER!

Oh. This happened in my building today. GHA! Christmas is my least favourite holiday.

...and with that, Megan left the building.

Leather and Peplums

 Peplum Tee-Amber Jones for Mr.Price/Pumps-Mr.Price/Leather Jacket-Woolworths/Bag-Givenchy

I love the quirkiness of this tee- the peplum fit, the cute saying on the front, even the zipper detail along the back...it's just lovely! I also love how great it looked paired under my leather jacket and accessorized with my studded pointed flats. It was the perfect outfit for a chilly day, especially since the tee looks great even without the jacket to finish the look.  

   

Have a lovely day everyone!!
