A little Blow, and a little Dry

Alicia and I were asked to be models tonight at Axis in Coal Harbour. The stylists were doing a class on Blow Outs so we were asked to be test subjects. Umm, who doesn’t want a free wash and amazing blow dry!? This is the best my hair has looked in a while. It’s so long and heavy, it feels like I’m wearing a sack of hair on my head. Thankfully, I am getting it cut this Saturday!

Since I knew I was going to have amazing hair this evening, I thought it might be a smart idea to have a cute outfit to go along with it. It’s amazing what a little pre planning will do for an outfit!

I layered two t’s, a white one, and grey/blue leopard print one. I tucked them into a black pleated Plum skirt. This skirt is amazing and so versatile, I should really wear it more often! I decided to go for a different pop of colour and opted for a fuchsia/red faux snake skin belt, with gold/sliver clasp, and wore a matching pinky ring to tie it all in. The love how unexpected it is, yet it still goes with the outfit.

I am totally obsessed with this look now. I’m definitly going to try it out with different T’s and belts!

The Summer Look

I put this on this morning, arrived at work, and the sky became completely covered in clouds. I feared the worst. Luckily, we’ve been more then fortunate with the weather lately and the Sun burned everything off and it was the perfect day for a Summer outfit!

It feels like despite all these beautiful summer days, I really haven’t spent much time at all out doors. We’ve gone for the occasional walk and such, but it seems that everything is so busy that the majority of this summer is spent looking out a window. This needs to change!

Because I bought this scarf specifically to wear on the Amalfi Coast, I feel like I need to go to the beach each time I wear it. 2 more months and I will be on the Amalfi Coast!

I’ve been doing this for 200 days!?

That’s a lot of days, and a lot of pictures! Kind of crazy to think about.

It’s taking me a while to get back into the swing of things. Everything seems to be falling apart around me because I ignored so many things while focusing all on helping Elise with the wedding. I feel stressed just thinking about all the things I have to catch up on!

Today’s comfort outfit is brought to you by Dish Jeans, Plum Tank, some random Australian Tank, flip flops, and a key  necklace!

I also enjoy how the placement of my bun makes me look like a boy. Probably should have opted for the Hipster bun and not the Nonna bun.

Tomorrow, I will catch up on everything, and everything WILL be better!

Hello Disaster

Can you tell that its the day after a wedding and I am a walking disaster? Cause I can!

Probably should have planned to do NOTHING today, but alas, family dinners and birthdays call and so here we are.

I am exhuasted and totally need some freshening up!

THE END!

Wedding Day!

I know I look like a sausage in these pictures, but the profesh ones aren’t available yet, so this is all I get!

So, todays outfit was obvioulsy chosen for me. A beautiful dress from RW & Co. was the outfit of choice, accompanied by a wrap from Le Chateau, and shoes from my very own closet.

I love these colour combinations!

The dress seemed to want to hug my mid section in a very awkward way. Kind of makes me look like I have a pouch sticking out! Haha, but thats ok, because I love this dress!

Doesn’t the hubby look handsome as well?

Such an amazing day!

The Friday Before

While everyone ran around today and helped out with last minute wedding planning, I stayed back in the office and worked. It was LAME! I totally felt left out and just wanted to run away and help everyone. However, my moment in time came, and I was called upon to deliver a special package to the hall and got my 5 minutes of Wedding Set-up joy!

We spent the evening getting our nails done, doing last minute girl things, and of course, drinking champagne.

I’ve got too much on my mind and plate these days, so for a Friday spent traveling around the city I grabbed my first and only pair of Golf Shorts. Random I know, but there is a story.

Back in college we did internships with local design companies. Mine happened to take place at Lija which is a company that makes awesome golf apparel for women. I loved it because it was full of Plaid and Argyle. At the end of my internship they gave me a discount card to buy a couple things as a Thank You for the work I had done. I chose my favorite golf short & jacket combo that they had that season, along with a great belt. All very matchy matchy, but so friggin cute! If I ever have the chance to play golf I’ll be the best dressed girl on the course!

So, today I chose my golf shorts and basic white T, with some fancy earrings to make my head sparkle! Haha.

Tomorrow is the BIG DAY! Wish me luck on my Matron of Honour duties!

2 Sleeps Away

It’s Wedding Rehearsal Night! It was funny to see how nervous Elise was at the Rehearsal. Reminded me of mine. NERVOUS WRECK!

Everything went smoothly, and we had a little party has Ryan’s house after which was nice. So much food, it was amazing.

I wore my Target Dress today. It really isn’t a dress, more like a tunic, cause it is way too short. I feel a bit sketchish because my leggings are some what see through, so even though I wear them to cover up my butt, if I bend over, they stretch and you see my undies. Not a good thing. But its adorable, and comfortable and I love it anyways.

I paired this basic dress with my blue wooden beaded statement necklace from Plum and a purple cropped sweater from Off the Wall. A mixture of fun, bold colours!

I know Alicia says you shouldn’t wear BLACK in the summer, but I got no choice with this dress!

I’d also like to say Thank God I bought these sandals from Target, they have become my Summer staple!

The Godmother of Gold

At last, the skirts make an appearance! Thank God I finally hemmed these, can you imagine how much longer this one would be on me if I hadn’t!? Exactly. It still feels long, but it’s better then it was, so I will stop obsessing and just wear it. It also doesn’t sit right because I bought this during the time in my life when I thought I was bigger then I actually was, so it’s one size too big for me. Don’t ask, for the love of God, don’t ask. I’m not  very smart when it comes to fashion!

None the less, I paired this Plum skirt with a Pink tank from American Apparel and wrapped a funky leather and gold belt I got from Value Village years ago. The belt adds a cool touch to the out fit. I matched some simple gold jewellery to it all.

I know I should probably wear heels with all these cute Summer outfits, but heels and me at work just don’t jive. So, it’s sandals all around!

Simple and fun, you know how I roll!

The Wooden Stance

Well, the wind is gone, and the Sun is fighting to get the heat back up. Frankly, I welcome the bright sun with cooler temperatures!

Don’t really know what to say about today. I worked like a mad man to organize my jewellery drawer. Slowly but surely it starts to take up more and more room. It’s surprising how much stuff I have!

I kind of blanked out this morning and just went to my closet grabbing comfortable things.

Mavi Boyfriend Jeans, Plum Stripped Knit Top, Forever 21 beaded necklace, Forever 21 nude sandals.

My toes look all weird to me since I took off my nail polish and am wearing nude coloured sandals. It’s like there is nothing on my feet!

I can’t wait to get a mani and pedi on Friday! So in need of some Hand and Feet TLC.

Red as Bricks

The wind came for a visit today. It blew stuff around and made for going the chilly walk to the mall after work. Probably should have brought a jacket. Oh well.

I didn’t really have anything excited planned for my outfit today. The wind kind of ruined any chances of wearing a skirt so I just opted for an old faithful jazzed up with some studded earrings.

A very simple look, but I like the addition of the sandals and earrings. They make it look totally different!
