The Friday Standard

I guess looks like this are becoming the Friday Standard. My hair was a fuzz ball disaster today, and not in a good way either.

Winter just makes me want to wear Black sweaters and these boots. I like to match the weather as best as I can.

Tonight’s plans got jack-knifed because Chad said it was raining. 2 drops of rain, people. Anyways, we ended up going to Surrey for some Mad Men & Hot Chocolate, so I guess it wasn’t THAT bad.

Thats how I do it up!

In With The Trees

I hung out with the Christmas Tree today. You only get so much time with it in one year, so you really have to live it up when you can.

Running around in those boots yesterday killed me. And trust me, I did run. My feet were so sore this morning that they screamed for a pair of checkered vans, and you know me, when they ask for the Vans they get the Vans.

A casual Hump Day, I reverted back to my 2 favorite colours from earlier this week; grey & purple, Elise’s Wedding colours when I come to think about it. Actually the scarf I am wearing is from Elise’s wedding. See, it’s all connected.

I haven’t warn my Kersh V Neck Pull Overs yet this Winter, so I thought I would bust one out. I chose the Grey one, naturally. Paired with a white t, purple scarf, and Dish jeans, and I had myself a comfortable mid-week party.

Tomorrow they are calling for a rainy disaster of a day. I am not looking forward to it :S

Adventure Land

Miss Alicia and I met up with the ever so lovely Jennifer Stoddart this evening for some coffee & sammiches. We ended up spending 4 hours at Starbucks chatting away. FOUR HOURS! We had such a wonderful time that the night just flew by.

By the time I got home, Mr. Ciavarro was already in be and in no mood to get out of bed to take my photo. Lame! So, the table had to do its thing again.

I fought with my closet this morning. I actually had an outfit all planned out and laid on my dresser, but when I put it on I wanted to puke at how horrible it looked. NOT GOOD. Why do things always look so much better in your head? In a mad rush, this is what I came up with.

Black & White stripped T from H&M Italy paired with a cacoon sweater from Kersh. Navy Mavi Denim Leggings & my Black Army & Navy ‘Steve Madden’ Boots. A long beaded necklace added some colour to this monotone outfit!

Coffee with the girls. Such a lovely, fashionable idea!

Over Salted, Over Layered

Over salted – possible. Over layered – NEVER!

I was wrapped tightly today, all cozied up. It is nice to be warm!

Today I wore grey and white Ts layered and wrapped with a purple and grey striped sweater. Purple & Grey, an excellent combination in my books. A grey fuzzy scarf to match, just to make sure I don’t catch a wind and end up sick for days (old Italian wise tale). Motorcycle Jeans from Dish because I like texture, and my Faux Fryes because I want to wear them every day.

This outfit works more then I thought it would. I love the shade of grey in the T-shirt and how it works with the sweater, and the texture of the jeans with the sweater! Sweet Jesus!

Yes, I get obsessive about these things.

Hobos On The Outside

There are so many jobs on the go. So many things that need to be done. I guess it’s the season of events, and parties, and business. I already feel the stress of not having my Christmas Cards out and it is only the SECOND of December. Don’t even get me started.

The Sun came out today, which was a nice change of pace. It warmed us up enough to take pictures outside. A welcomes change of scenery.

Today I wore an old sweater from Plum, back in the day when we use to produce our own sweaters. This one is a mix of Black and Brown, with a hood and kangaroo pocket. Super cute if you ask me! I wore it with a long white T and my speckled Dish Jeans & Chuck Taylors.

Sometimes, in the rush of the morning, I tend to ignore the obvious need for accessories. I think it is clear that I am a ‘less is more’ kind of girl. Today, however, I went for osmething a bit more bold, something a little more unexpected for this outfit. Large wooden beads in Blue did the trick.

Who said blue balls were a bad thing?

Skull Head

I love my skull sweater, though it seems to be one of those pieces you either really love, or you really don’t. Oh 60 year old Finnish pattern maker does NOT like this sweater. Hahaha, she is so blunt about it!

I have this think with buttoning crew neck sweater at the top, and just letting them hang open. I just love the way they look.

Today I paired my Skill Sweater with a basic white T, Charcoal Denim Leggings and my black boots.

To add in some extra fun, I grabbed my Moms big square plastic earrings from the 80s. They definitely make a statement!

You don’t wanna meet me at the end of a dark alley!

Quirky Day in the Office

It’s also Slob It Up day at the office, brought to you by yours truly. It’s funny calling yourself a ‘fashionista’ when you dress more casual then a hobo. I guess that’s why I try NOT to call myself a fashionista.

Busy, Party, Party, Busy = Danielle doesn’t like getting dressed on Monday Morning.

I have lost all sense of creativity.

Today’s Monday Morning Outfit is brought to you by a basic grey T from Plum, a teal Kersh sweater, some Dish jeans, and my Blue Checkered Vans. I threw in the black scarf to hide my face.

I kind of do belong in a warehouse.

Bring On the Warmth

Could I BE any more bundled up? Probably not.

I love this scarf that I bought from Plum early this year. It is so chunky and cozy, only problem is it sheds like a mother on my black Pea Coat. Now it kind of looks like Grover. It does get to be a bit much to wear all day because it is so thick and cumbersome, but it keeps me warm, so I guess that is the price I pay!

I wanted to go about my day all dressed in black with one pop of colour. As an Italian, I don’t think I wear enough black. It use to be my favorite colour when I was younger, not because I was Gothic, but because I was/am Italian.

I started off my black outfit with a stripped T-shirt from the Garage. The stripes give a bit of a visual interest. Next I grabbed my black Kersh Boyfriend Cardigan. My Dish Motorcycle jeans aren’t technically black, but they are dark, and I love their texture, so they get a pass. My plaid boots were a perfect choice considering my outfit was becoming more about texture and print then about being Black. Ha.

Tomorrow it is suppose to snow. Oh God, what am I going to wear!?

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!

There is Nothing Like a Photo Shoot in the Bathroom!

Tonight I got together with two girls I haven’t seen in forever, Marlee & Krista. It was so fun getting together with them and stuffing our faces with Japanese food. God I love Japanese food!

Krista was very excited to be my photographer for the evening, and I was very excited to have her take my pictures!

Since it did snow last night, tonights concern was more warmth then fashion. My plan to wear a skirt for the first time in forever was thrown out the window. Though, I have to admit, denim leggings are way to thin to keep your legs warm!

I wondered around downtown in my striped T from H&M and my striped sweater from Kersh. STRIPE ALERT. The stripes on the T-shirt are so tiny that they don’t really compete with the sweater, which is a good thing.

My neck was freezing cold, so a grey knit scarf from Plum was essential. Black denim leggings as I mentioned and Faux Fryes. I tried playing it cool. Ha.

The only cool thing about this outfit is that I am in the bathroom. Bahaha!
