Summer Breeze

Sun and clouds, seasonal organization, running around. That is exactly what today was like.

I’m really enjoying work these days because there is lots going on and there is lots that involves me. It’s also that time of the year when all the fun stuff happens. Ordering fabrics, organizing the season, picking group names. I’ve probably been the most involved in the set up and organization of the season this year and I am loving every minute of it!

I had fun in todays outfit. The only reason I bought this ‘shark bite’ tank from Plum is because Claudia was obsessed with it and made me try every colour on. She was right, it is pretty amazing and I probably should have bought more then one colour! Oh well.

White Girl in a White Dress

I probably shouldn’t wear a giant white dress when I have spent zero days in the sun and am just as white as paper. Sometimes I forget just how pale I am until I stand next to someone who has sat in the sun for hours. Yea, I may look ridiculous in the middle of summer, but at least I won’t be wrinkled and full of skin cancer when I get older!

This dress I bought at Plum a couple years ago when I need dresses for bridal showers and wedding parties. I felt it fitting that I have a white dress to wear other then my wedding dress.

This one is beautiful. It buttons up the back and has a self tie at the empire waist, which you can switch out of any kind of skinny belt. It’s a bit long on me, but I don’t want to hem it and ruin the beautiful embroidery.

I wore this dress with a green beaded necklace from Anthropologie and some ‘old’ green wedges from Payless.

It is such a beautiful summer dress, I just feel so WHITE in it!

I Am Not Your Server

Everytime I were black pants and a white blouse Chad asks me if I can get him a glass of water and some hot wings. Thanks, but I don’t work at a restaurant dear! I guess restaurants have kind of ruined the white and black look for us, but styled the right way, I don’t think have to fall into that category!

You’ve seen this look before with boots in the winter, so for the summer version I paired it with some black and gold gladiator sandals and some gold accessories.

I did feel very professional wearing this ensemble, black pants will always do that to you!

Late Night Kitchen Parties

Home late from dinner at the In-Laws. Pictures in the kitchen always work out when it’s late and I still have to take photos! You can’t be too picky when you have to do this every day. Sweet Jesus.

Today was very low key, other then dinner. We were both super tired, so nothing too exciting was in the plans.

I thought I would go with a simple, classic Danielle outfit to day, since the last time I went to the In-Laws, my outfit was a bit of a disaster, and even looking back on it now, I really don’t know what I was thinking. They must think I’m crazy!

Mixing bright blue jewellery with other bright colours is something I love to do, and this blue beaded necklace and purple sweater make a great combination!

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!

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.

The Old Man Comb Over

This is another one of those cases where my hair looked good when I left the house..I swear.

Today was an awesome day in the city of Vancouver. We spent the whole day at the PNE grounds spending the afternoon watching the horse races, and the evening watching the BC Lions Home Opener. Quite an exciting day for us.

For a Saturday casual going out, outfit, I chose to wear my favorite plaid shorts that I got from Le Chateau of all places, a few years back when they were on sale for cheap. Best thing I’ve ever bought from the Chateau.

I tucked in my A-symmetrical Plum T, and added my teal YSL belt. A simple strand of colourful beads, brown flip flops, and a cute straw fedora completed my look.

This was the perfect outfit to spend the day running around in.

Too bad I look like I have a comb over…

Sweet Mother a FAN!

Is it just me or do I look like a feeble body builder in the last photo? Strange.

This fan is working out well, despite the fact that it blows warm air in my face. Our apartment is death so we have been escaping to Deer Lake as often as possible. I love that we live 5 minutes away from a lake and a park with a bunch of great trails.

I’m all tank toppy and drapy today. Thought it would be a good day for this Oxmo A-Symmetrical Tunic. I wish I could have worn it as a dress, but I’m not skanky like that.

The leggings my Mom bought at some random store when she went to Disneyland last month. Yes, my Mother went to Disneyland and she didn’t take me.

Because this tunic is so all over the place, it looks great belted at the waist. I just did it loosely with a braided black belt. I then layered my F21 multi coloured, multi strand beaded necklace over top to add some colour to all the black, white, and grey.

It was fun running around in this all day actually. A great easy outfit for the Summah!

Cute but Not

First off, I would like to start this post by saying, what the hell happened to these jeans? It wasn’t until I saw these photos that I realized how ill fitting they are. When you are use to skinny jeans like I am, these jeans just don’t cut it. They make my butt and hips look HUGE. Ugh, I hate it. I need to put my sewing skills to use and take them in.

I really liked todays outfit, despite my crappy jeans (sorry Mavi).

I can’t remember where I got this short black jumper from. It’s too short to be a dress but it works as a cute long top. I love pairing it with a white scoop neck t-shirt and great jewelry. Today I wore it with my fuchsia retro sweater and a great sea foam green beaded necklace from Anthropologie.

I paired this all with my pink Keds, because sometimes I like being matchy matchy.

Le sigh, these jeans just ruin this outfit for me :(
