MONDAY!

It is ok that it’s Monday because I am wearing my new favorite combination. I am so easy to predict because I love the same old stuff.

Stripes? Check!
Scarf? Check!
Straight Leg Jeans? Check!
Checkered Vans? Check!

HEAVEN

I love this sweater that I got from Kersh @ Plum. I love this scarf that I bought ages ago when I worked at Bootlegger. I love how the colours mix together and just look awesome. I love of warm I was ALL DAY. I love this love white T-Shirt from the garage. I love these Dish jeans from Plum. I love these Checkered Vans that I bought one Boxing Day I bought a few years ago. I love it SO MUCH.

Ok, ok, I think that is enough LOVE for one day!

Peace and Quiet

Last nights rain and snow didn’t really do much, however, tonight they are calling for full on snow and I am EXCITED! I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow, until the evening when I am taking the Skytrain, so it can snow as much as it wants and I won’t be annoyed! Yay!

Tonight we have no plans, which is actually very odd, but I am not complaining because I need a night of doing nothing and worrying about nothing. Work is still crazy and I am still behind and it is slowly eating away at me :S

Todays Cozy Comfort is brought to you by my fireplace. That and my Ninja Sweater, White T, Motorcycle Jeans, and Faux Fryes.

Friday Perfection.

The Last of the Events

Today is the last day of our busy schedule. Chads niece Emily turns 11 and today is her birthday party. A nice family dinner is probably exactly what the doctor ordered. Saves me from cooking at least :P

I’ll make this Sunday post a quicky, yours truely needs some sleep.

Cozy and comfortable fashions.

Now I just want to grab some blankets and pillows and pass out in front of the TV!

Fri Dizzle

Today was all about getting my butt home in time to make an amazing dinner for the crew. I think I succeeded. The kitchen and ‘dining room’ many never be the same again, but at least we enjoyed ourselves!

After dinner there was a mad rush to get down to the Cambie. Elise and I text messaged each other from across the table and apparently that annoyed the boys. Too BAD! Haha!

Since I knew we were going to the Cambie tonight, I only felt it necessary to dress appropriately. That’s right girls, fancy dresses and heels NOT welcome! They clearly don’t realize that they get mocked by all the “scum” – including myself – in the place. You dress down and dirty to go to the Cambie, not up and classy!

But I digress.

One of our more popular sweaters this season at Plum, my Skull sweater from Kersh naturally felt like the perfect fit for the Cambie. I wore it over a long white T which helped cover up my long torso, considering the sweater itself is somewhat short. My motorcycle jeans were also a natural choice as they are my most ‘rugged’ jeans, and Chuck Taylors are basically issued at the door, so I had to wear them.

It’s kind of weird that a place like Plum sells skull sweaters, but these are so cute they just fit right in. This was the first time I wore it out and I got so many compliments on it. Definitely a must have!

Grunge You

It’s Friday. I don’t think there is anything else I could say!

From the looks of it, this weekend won’t be as crazy as last weekend, or as crazy as next weekend might turn out to be, and that is probably a good thing.

The boys are going out. I am staying home. There is much to catch up on!

This outfit fits how I feel to a T.

Thanks for comin out!

The Night of the Pizza with out Potatoes

We had a four some with Adam and Alicia tonight. And by four some I mean we watched hockey and ate pizza while wearing work apparel. The sight of seeing Chad and Adam in work suits sitting on the couch eating pizza is just funny to me.

Todays outfit was inspired by this top that I also bought at H&M in Italy. Its a very simple scoop neck striped T with rouched sleeves. I’ve been avoiding the ‘attention to shoulder’ trend given the fact that mine are so ‘large’, but when I saw this top, I just had to have it.

Something about it screamed – RETRO – to me, so I had to dress it up with a 70s feel.

I wore the T-Shirt tucked into a pair of flared Dish jeans with a leather belt I bought at the Florence Leather Market. A simple long silver chain and black boots completed the look.

I must say I am totally obsessed with 1) the top, 2) tucking it in, and 3) the way the brown belt looks.

I know this isn’t something that is totally ‘out there’, but its definitely not something I would usually put together.

Score 5 points for experimenting with looks!

Whoa Whoa Whoa

I was kind of under stress today. I had an appointment at the Cancer Clinic, just the usual check up sort of deal. Even though I knew everything was going to be fine (I go for so many blood tests that if something wasn’t fine, I would already have known) theres still that little thought in the back of my head, that something could possibly go wrong. Thankfully nothing did, and I don’t have to go back for another 9 months. Woot Woot!

I don’t think you ever get use to going to the Cancer Clinic.

Since I’ve been keeping it ‘cool and casual’ the last little while, I opted for a relaxed look today. My long white T from the Garage layered under a V neck pull over from American Eagle. I love the colour of this sweater! As the weather gets cooler each day, I find myself grabbing for scarves more often then not. It’s just such an easy way to keep warm and it added to every outfit. This black and white heart scarf I bought at Plum.

As for my lower half, I went with the every popular Dish Straight Leg Jeans and my Chuck Taylors. They hid behind my boots in the closet, so I often forget about them. This time, I remembered!

I’m glad everything worked out well today.

Candy Time!

It’s my Mommas birthday today. She was born on all hallows eve some years ago, so we spent the evening at her house, making dinner and handing out candy to the kids. We were pretty popped from last nights dinner, so we spent the day quietly before heading over to Mothers.

Chad and I didn’t dress us this year. Dressing Chad up is like pulling teeth, so I don’t even bother any more, plus it’s just easier then stressing out about costumes.

Todays ‘costume’ is made up of a basic White T, my very drapy Kersh striped sweater, a pair of Dish jeans, and grey flats. Very grey and blue. I love it!

And no, I didn’t eat all the candy!

Crazy Lady in the Dark

I think it’s pretty clear that I am a crazy lady in the dark. Yes, I also have leaves in my hair. We were at my Aunts house for dinner tonight and she decorated the table all pretty with leaves, so naturally, I stuck them in my hair. Yea, I’m cool like that.

I can’t really say that this is the most flattering outfit on me. My legs look about 2 feet tall and 3 feet wide. While I can partially blame that on the dark, I think the majority of the blame needs to be placed on my over all outfit. Good in theory, not so good in practice.

I guess I was kind of going for a rustic, cowboy, motorcycle look, that kind of translated into a scrubby, hobo in the basement look.

Mavi Plaid Top + Dish Motorcycle Jeans + Italian Leather Jacket + Faux Fryes = A Schizophrenic outfit!

Better luck next time?

Style It Before You Die

When one decides they are going to ‘walk to 5 towns’ they think – piece of cake. When that person then gets told “it’s quite the hike”, you would think they would then dress appropriately. Hum…well, not so much. I had limited clothing with me and seriouslydid NOT think it would be like doing the Grouse Grind up AND down. Sweet Mother. While not all of the Cinque Terre were death traps on a mountain, some were, and I was not prepared for it. This casual relaxed picture of me then became me with just a T-shirt and my jeans rolled up. I was not expecting the Sun to come out and scorch us either. Lesson Learned!
