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.

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

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!!

Stripey goodness

Today was my last day as "interim Acting Director" so I dressed the part. Oh no, I didn't.


Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutique
Dress: anthropologie
Belt: Le Chateau
Tights: Hue
Boots: Fluevog Radios | ARD (last worn here)

Last time I wore these tights was with almost the exact same outfit. Only difference is the dress. I wanted to wear the orange eShakti dress but it really needs to be ironed so I threw on this thing.

Not really feeling this.

Good enough for a Friday!

Have a good weekend everyone. In most parts of Canada, Monday is a holiday but not here. Poop!

If you can't beat them, go completely overboard

Ah Valentine's day.






As a married person, Valentine's Day was an annoyance. As a separated person, it's a pretty good reason to hit the bottle. Luckily, I have dumped all the alcohol out. Except for the beer I bought tonight at the mall. But that's another story.

Anticipating that today was going to be a difficult one, I decided to just go totally bonkers with the red clothing.




Look at me embracing the day that is named after Saint Valentine. Even making a cute heart with my hands.

Cardigan: Pretty Things Boutique
Dress: Eshakti (last worn here)
Tights: ?
Shoes: Franco Sarto (last worn here)

Red hair, red lips, red cardigan, red dress, red shoes. I had put on red tights but it was just too much. Even for me, who loves red.



and a red vintage slip!

And a pin with a skull on it. To demonstrate my true feelings about this day. o_O


Here's an outtake. I was trying to take the above photo when my coworker came into the kitchen. This is me covering my tracks and pretending that I wasn't doing anything. I like the look on my face.

I'm currently sitting on my couch, with my fireplace on, my cat at my side, waiting for my Swiss Chalet dinner to arrive. Including apple pie. I'm making the best of things.

My coworkers were so very good to me today. As difficult as things can often be at work, it's much easier to go in every day when you work with good people.

So good day to you Valentine's day. I said GOOD DAY!


Valentines Day

Happy Valentine's day everyone! I hope you've had a magical day so far, whether you celebrate it or not! :) 
Naturally the perfect colour to wear on Valentine's day is pink. (other than red of course)
 I opted for something rather different in the shape of a baggy tee and equally baggy jeans for a day look, paired with my vibrant neon toe capped pumps to bring out the colours in the rest of the outfit. I love the subtle femininity the colour adds to the otherwise 'boyish' silhouette of the pants.

I hope you have an amazing day everyone!

The Hardest Button to Button

I've recently found myself car-less. Wha-wha-wha....yes I know this is 100% a first world problem, but I'm finding it hard to adjust. I'm committed to giving living without a car at least a month before I even consider whether I should get a new car. The telling point will be the first time I go grocery shopping. Keep me in your thoughts.

Luckily I'm cute as hell!


Cardigan: from Zellers
Dress: Joe Fresh (last worn here)
Belt: Le Chateau
Boots: Anthropologie (last worn here)

Last time I wore this dress with burgundy accessories, going outside my comfort zone. Today I just stuck with the black, green and yellow motif.


Today was one of those days where people were really trying my patience. Luckily I have good coworkers and friends who can talk me down when I'm contemplating jumping off the building.



And with that, let's turn out back on this perfectly frustrating day.
