Shed Party Alert

My Uncle had his infamous Shed Party tonight. This involved loud music, drinks, and a shed. Pretty sweet if you ask me!

It was quite cool today and felt like it was going to rain at any given moment. It did in the city, but not where we were, so that was good.

I some what froze wearing this outfit, but thankfully my Uncle has invested in out door heaters! Plus, once you get your drink on, you end up all toasty anyways.

The shed party outfit consisted of….

White Plum Tank
Off the Shoulder T from Plum (I can’t remember the actually brand)
Navy Mavi Denim Leggings
Black Sandles (which you can’t see)
Giant Metal Bracelet from Plum as well

Party on!

Dinner for Four

Today we were suppose to leave for camping, but actually, I’m so glad we didn’t. Even though camping is looked at as a fun and relaxing time, the prep work usually gets me all worked up and a little stressed. I was glad I didn’t have to worry about it this week!

Instead of going camping, we headed over to Ryan and Elise’s for the first time for dinner. We had a great time, the meal was fantastic, and the company was even better. I love hanging out with those guys.

It was hot in the city today, so I opted for some shorts and a tank top. I carried over my obsession with tucking things in and chose to tuck in my plaid Mavi tank into a pair of Plum shorts. I belted it with a brown belt also from plum, and wore my wired heart necklace.

Now, technically, because grey is on the black side of things, I shouldn’t really be matching it with a brown belt, but every other belt I tried just didn’t look right. Plus I got a lot of compliments on this outfit, so I’m just going to assume it all worked well together. I love brown leather belts so much more then black leather belts. I need to buy more.

I also love this tucking in of tops!

Summer Time Black

No warehouse today. Told you! Well, tomorrow is the last day it can possibly happen, so at least I know that much. Work is just too busy crazy to spend any time out in the warehouse. That’s my excuse anways. Ha. I hate inventory. I don’t know anyone who actually likes it.

I re-fell in love with my Mavi boyfriend jeans today. How so you ask? Well, I did the very simple thing of rolling up the hem one more time. I KNOW! I thought it would be too bulky, since they are quite long on me and already rolled up a number of times, but it worked, and it looks so much better on my stumpy legs. I should have attempted this long ago.

The other thing I re-fell in love with today is tucking in shirts. I know its been a thing for a while now, but I really, really love it; especially if you have a cool belt to show off.

My black knit T is from Plum, last spring. Its very light and airy which I love on hot summer days. Even though it is black, which is not very ‘SUMMER’ of me, its so comfortable to wear. Since it is a little blousy, I lightly tucked it in at the front to show off my teal YSL belt.

FAVORITE BELT OF ALL TIME

A simple silver necklace and some fun flats and this ‘warehouse’ look ends up being somewhat fashionable!

Black Strawberry

This happens every time. Whenever I am told that I will most likely be spending the day working away in the warehouse, I dress for it, and then never end up making it to the warehouse. This means that tomorrow will have to be the ‘warehouse day’, but I bet you any money it will be postponed until Friday. That means 3 days of non ‘pretty’ outfits, and all I want to do is wear a skirt!

Oh well, what can you do.

I’m really loving these Plum cargo carpi’s this summer. They are so comfy to wear and just fun to putt around in.

I decided to try a different way of layering this Kersh tank. I wore a thicker ribbed tank underneath. Kind of makes it feel every aerobic, or like I’m straight of the army, which I kind of love. I’m fighting the wore on bad fashion.

The seagull necklace is from Urban Outfitters and the wrap leather bracelets are from Plum.

My strawberry hair pin is from Barefoot Contessa.

I now wear every outfit thinking of how it would translate if I brought it to Italy with me. This is definitly one of them!

A Long Day

Today felt like a really long day. Probably had to do with all the driving we did going to pick up my apparently fixed, but probably not, car. Then we had to stop and get food for dinner. Then we finally got home. It felt like forever!

I actually got the Husband to BBQ me some salmon, which was a first, since he doesn’t eat ‘things of the sea’. I have, however, converted him on the Prawn front.

Oh Tuesday, Tuesday.

I decided today I was going to wear my chocolate brown Linen skirt from Plum. This was one of the infamous “bought it too big and had to hem it” skirts from my collection. I love it though. It’s one of those things I wear to work and then everyone compliments me, and I’m like “but it’s from here!” and then they try and remember when they did it and talk about how they should do it again. So funny to me.

I paired this skirt with a white T from Esprit. The same one that has  a sheer Georgette yoke and sleeves. Super cute and different.

You can barely tell, but I am actually wearing wedges! I have a couple of great, super comfy wedges, but for whatever reason this season, I just haven’t worn them at all. I guess I’m just too obsessed with flats!

In the Jungle

Even though I get compliments every time I wear this dress, I can’t help but feel like I mom in it. It might have something to do with the length, it might have something to do with the cut, I don’t really know what it is. I love it, but I always feel older then I am when I wear it. All very strange if you ask me.

This is one of Plums infamous Cross Over Dress with Tie. These things fly off the shelves. I have a soft spot for things that remind me of the Jungle and Safari, even though I’ve never been. This jungle print did me in.

Even though the base of this dress is outlined in Black and not Brown, I always feel like wearing brown wooden jewellery with it. I guess it’s the Jungle / Tree connection I make in my head. The earrings I’ve had for a while, so I’m not too sure where they are from. The bracelet is, of course, from Plum.

A cute look over all, I just feel like I’m 35 and need to take the kids to soccer practice.

Ha.

Sunday in the North

It seems like almost every Sunday we are at the parentals doing something or other. It usually involves Chad washing his car, or me scrapbook pictures from our Honeymoon. Yea, I still haven’t finished that!

Even though I was stuck in the basement working away while Chad was outside enjoying the sun, I still felt like dressing up as if I was going on a Safari.

Friday afternoon, I walked into our warehouse and saw that a bunch of the Summer sale stuff had been returned from the stores. Low and behold, this glorious hat was sitting there, all alone, waiting for a home. I have drooled over this hat all Summer long, but lost my chance to buy it once it went out to all the stores. Since none of the Plum locations are close to wear I live, I never shop in store, so I thought my dream of owning this hat was lost. Well, clearly it was fate, as soon as I saw it, I knew it was meant to be mine!

I LOVE THIS HAT!

Now, if only I actually had room to store all my hats…

To go with my new favorite Hat, I wore another Plum outfit. A charcoal tank top with a pair of green cargo shorts from a couple seasons back.

Leather studded cuff, Birkenstocks, and a silver leaf necklace.

I really should be going somewhere in this outfit.

New Hair for a Zebra

The hair has been cut! It feels so much lighter and has so much more movement. Every time this happens to me, I always have a little bit of a panic attack because it feels like I have no hair left, but in reality it is SO much better! There is no fun in having a giant sack of hair on your head in the middle of Summer!

I spent the morning walking around the city, before and after my haircut. It was so nice to be in Coal Harbour, watching all the tourists, in the warm sun. I don’t often travel down there, but it is such a beautiful part of the city.

Tonight, we celebrate my Dads birthday with a Wine Tasting evening with Friends!

I got creative again. A turquoise tank tucked into a super cute Zebra skirt, both purchased at Plum. I brown belt would have looked great with this outfit, but I didn’t have one, so I opted to pick up the cream colour in the skirt. Gold and Cream Anchor necklace and Flower ring, both from Forever 21. Nude Sandals also worked out well with this outfit.

The close up photo of me looks way to dark and light all at the same time. Kind of awkward.

Cute outfit though! I want to wear it every day!

My Beady Heart

Hello Friday. Hello Lazy Face. Hello Grey.

It always feels wrong to wear dark colours in the Summer, but, they are my favorite, so what do you really want from me? Other then my magically cute outfit on Wednesday, I’ve been going blank when it comes to outfits. I’m just not organized this week.

At least wearing this Knit Top from Plum off the shoulder looks cooler then I thought it would.

I keep wearing these Mavi Jeans despite the amount of holes on my back side, and every time I wear them I feel the need to talk about them. You can smack me now. Fall 2010 will involve me updating my Denim collection. Omg, motorcycle jeans are on the way. DROOL.

But back to today. There was a lot of grey. Blue grey really.

The multi coloured beads add a nice touch though, perfectly picking up this outfit from the depths of despair.

Ha. Could I be more dramatic?

HAPPY FRIDAY!

A Little Bit of a Mess

Doesn’t it feel like I wear this outfit a lot? It does to me. It’s just such an easy thing to grab for on mornings when I can’t really think about anything but going back to bed.

Today was a bit of a cooler day, so surprisingly enough, denim leggings and a sweater had to be involved. I actually thought it was going to rain when I got up this morning.

Nothing really to say today. You’ve all seen this before.

Grey Plum A-Line T (I realized today that I keep calling my A-Line T-shirts, A-Symmetrical T-shirts which is the wrong terminology, and I’m totally embarrassed by it.)
Teal Kersh Sweater
Navy Mavi Denim Leggings
Green Flip Flops

This is an awkward angle for photos by the way.
