Tulle and a Teacup

This morning I was getting caught up on blogs today and reading Amber's post I was reminded that I had wanted to do a "tulle and a teacup" post. (I'm also hoping to get in on that Traveling Yellow Skirt action...)

I thought this would be a good opportunity since it's a beautiful day and no one seems to be around in my flat.

I live in the basement flat and this is the stairway down into the laundry room and into the backdoor to my place. It's dirty so I'm sitting on a plastic bag so my fabulous tulle skirt doesn't get all mucked up.

Skully shirt, skully teacup and saucer, and my heart shaped flerp floops. And my "workhorse" cardigan.

I'm being a bit cheeky here since this is my upstairs neighbour's patio. I moved their lamp so I could take the photo. If they had come outside I would have offered them some tea and then tried to get a photo with their doggie Marlow.

My sister bought me this cup at a one of a kind craft show. They are very piratey.

Outtake! Looking at the strawberry plant. And the damn dandillions!

And now it's just noon, I've got caught up on Game of Thrones, have had a walk, drank a latte and did my dishes.

Now what?

Cobalt

 Cape- Cotton On/Denim shirt and Pumps-Mr.Price/Bracelet-Sass Diva/Bag-Givenchy

I love it when you find an outfit that you absolutely love and want to wear all day, everyday! This one happened to be just that. I loved all the elements in this look, the cape is a gorgeous fit and the denim shirt paired underneath is perfect. I also adore how the cobalt blue in the shoes tied the blue of the denim and bag together. This is definitely one of my favourite outfits for winter :) 

 

 Have a lovely week everyone!

42, the Meaning of Life, the Universe, and Everything

I haven't been blogging because I've been socializing and getting older.

On the night of May 14th, I went out to a concert - the Airborne Toxic Event. I'm sure you've all heard of them but in case you haven't here's a video of their song All I Ever Wanted.

So the outfit I wore to work was possibly more appropriate for a ROCK AND ROLL concert!

Dress: Emily Ryan (last worn here)
Shoes: Messeca (last worn the same day)


The necklace was a gift from my sister for my birthday which is from Missy Industry. It has a razor blade, bone, chain, and pill capsule on it.

I'm not sure I like this mullet type dress much anymore. Maybe I could get it shortened to one length at some point.






























May 15

My BIRTHDAY! I turned 42. WHOOOT!  So I got a bit dressed up!  And it was also Fluevog Day so I went to the Queen Street store with a coworker and bought the shoes I'm wearing in this photo.

Blouse: from Winners
Dress: Jonathan Martin (last worn here)
Shoes: Fluevog Bellevues | Laura Evans

I've never really been interested in these shoes before but when I went to the store, they seemed to be a good choice because they matched my outfit.

I bought this body chain from a store pretty close to my apartment called Armed. I really like the detail on the back. Like pearls.

M birthday dinner was at a restaurant called The Saint and I had a few cocktails. Yum yum!

Black Leatherette

 Leatherette top-Woolworths/Boyfriend Jeans-Viking/Pumps-Mr.Price/Necklace-Mr.Price/Bag- Céline

Finding a long sleeved top with faux leather detail was on the top of my 'must have' list for ages, that is until I spotted this beauty in store recently. I just love the fit, and the fabric part is so comfortable! I paired it with my boyfriend jeans (of course hehe) and one of my favourite necklaces, this neon yellow delight! I love the simplicity of this outfit, it's perfect for a casual day out:) 

 Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Stag Sweater

 Sweater-Country Road/Jeans-Viking/Shoes-Mr.Price/Bracelet-Sass Diva/Necklace-Mr.Price

I love printed sweaters at the moment, especially when they have gorgeous prints such as this stag one! I also adore how the sweater still maintains a bit of a sporty feel, and how well it pairs with boyfriend jeans. I wore my new studded necklace from Mr.Price-(I love the collar shape) and my studded loafers to tie the look together.

 Have a wonderful day everyone!

International Fluevog Day!

Oh, and it's also my 42nd birthday. :)  Be back later!

Confetti dress

This is the second dress that I ordered with my gift card from eShakti. It's called the confetti dress which is a pretty apt name.

Dress: eShakti
Shoes: Miss L Fire (last worn here)

The dress is nice but the shoes really outshine everything else. Or maybe the tights. I was walking down Queen St at lunch time and two women in a restaurant pointed at my feet so I stopped and did a little "ta da!" pose for them. Shameless!

I'm back in boardroom 3A today with my map since the lunchroom has apparently become a hotspot for eating and crafting. Don't they know I need that space for my photo shoots?? I'm going to start blocking the room off as a space for important meetings in the late afternoon.

Currently watching the hockey game and the Leafs are beating the Bruins 4-1 in game 7. Totally unexpected! The Leafs haven't been in the playoffs in 9 years and weren't expected to make it past the first playoff round. There's still 11 minutes left in the game so I hope they can hold on and eek out this win!
