never say necklace

Ok, so, forever I have avoided accessories - saying it's just "not my style" - but not anymore.  I was inspired by Kendi's necklace - because I love it so much - and I literally have a negative bank account right now so instead of purchasing it, I threw on the first three necklaces in my existing pile of jewellery that looked like they might match. And yes you did see one of these yesterday.  That was my warm-up.

I can't say I'm a fan of insects on my jewellery, but I *am* experimenting.
Shortest necklace, $gift from Aron's mom. Butterfly necklace, some random shop
on Queen St. that shut down long ago, $17. Remaining necklace, F21, $10.
Stila lip stain in Poppy, $34.

Yoga Jeans!  They are the only brand that fits over my thunder..errr, runner's thighs
and aren't four sizes too big in the waist at the same time.  Got these for $25 off!
It was the only colour on sale.  Acid wash grey isn't so popular I guess.
Good news for me!

Cardigan, F21, $22. Tank, Club Monaco, $30. Bag, Roots, $105 on sale.
Shoes, Aldo, approx. $60.

These shoes I have a love/hate relationship with.  I think they look
pretty cute in the photos here, but I think they might be a half size too small,
they offer absolutely no support, and they are from Aldo - the worst place on earth.
What do you think?

 

brrr, neutrals

Ok seriously, what is up with this weather.  I know, I'm Canadian, suck it up, but come on.  I wanted to put on something light and springy but instead was feeling like something warm and cozy so settled on this light coloured, neutral-y cozy ensemble.  I admit, I was feeling lazy and crabby as well.

Dress, Club Monaco, approx $150 (got it 30% off). Belt, H&M, $10.
Leggings, H&M, $10. Necklace, jewellery store on Queen St. that closed
down long ago, $15. Bag, Roots, $105 (on sale, $25 off).

Yes, that is my new remote.  Yes, I am new.

And I didn't want to wear my boots inside so they are missing but they are brown and heeled, by Blowfish.  And if I wasn't so lazy and crabby I'd find a link but instead I am going to bed!  Night night.  xo

remotely fashionable

First of all I just want to say how much I appreciate all of you out there that post every day.  This is my first post since last Thursday and I don't even know how you find the time to do it—but you are all my heroes.  So here goes, on a freezing and deceptively sunny Tuesday.

This photo alerted me to the fact that my tights might just be a *little* too weathered.
Coat, Soia & Kyo, three seasons old from Winners and needs replacing. :(
Boots, Chinese Laundry, $gift from mom.

I love this bag (UO, $70 - men's section!).  Picked it up for the plane but quickly realized it fits my books, my Sigg bottle, my lunch AND all the other crap I carry around.  Win.  Scarf, Zara, $20? Rings, both my grandmother's.

Skirt, FCUK, on clearance $40. Cardigan, F21, $22.
Tank, H&M, $7. Necklace, I believe it's Foxy, but not sure,
$boughtitalongtimeago/cantremember.

LOOK I GOT A REMOTE!!!

ARON!  Come look at my remote - isn't it awesome?

Aron: "Yes I am going to steal it and take 400 photos and try to make out with you".
Me: "Ok!"

robin hood tights

Ok I was so embarassed yesterday I couldn't even bring myself to post to apologize. It's crunch time at school - it's my last semester - I was writing all day in sweats and scrambled to get to my evening class in time. I did have high hopes of dragging out the camera though and wore my light denim high waisted skirt, blue Esprit sweater, brown tights and my grey suede boots. Buuuutttt I didn't take any photos so it doesn't count.

Today...today was a new day. I wore my robin hood tights, as Aron calls them. I think they are on their last legs (ha) but I love the colour. And you get to see the whole picture of the sweater dress from my very first post, where I lacked the self-photography abilities to actually show it to you.

Yep, just hanging out, holding a vase of dead flowers. It's what I do.

Sweater dress, H&M, $40. Robin hood tights, UO, $?.
Patterned socks, The Bay, $3. T-straps, UO, $60.
Necklace, gift from friend.

sick day

Ok now I am a sick blogger. I get sick every time I fly. Not that this sickness is the contagious type. It's more the monthly type but it's hit me like a ton of bricks today. I honestly spent the day in sweats and ate cereal out of the box for dinner. Attractive. At least I'm loyal to my post per day? Pics. I owe you.

EDIT
Here's a photo from the boat cruise. Taken by a mobile camera. I know it's lame but you can see my awesome pre-boat fedora purchase ($20, random pier shop), favourite Gypsy earrings, $12, striped H&M tank, $7, and vodka soda, $0.

miami redux

I am a bad blogger. I was so excited about Miami I forgot to say goodbye.

I'm not posting my outfit today because I am wearing yoga jeans and a flannel shirt. Yep. Embarassing...for a [new] fashion blogger. But our flight got in at 2 — and today is all about pretending vacation isn't over and trying not to think about jumping back into the madness again come tomorrow. Aron's on an early flight out for work and I'll be writing all day but I WILL be getting dressed and taking pictures, promise.

Until then....

Red and yellow?  I'm breaking all my rules.

I had to wear the cardigan again from yesterday because I love it.  Also, I have learned/am learning from seasoned bloggers a whole new world of wearing things more than once a week.  I had a terrible (very early) morning, with a craptacular hot yoga class (worst instructor ever) and had only minutes to get ready before my 9am class.  I thought this turned out OK, considering my limited time and terrible mood. 

Skirt, AA, $boughtitahundredyearsagocan'tremember.
Cardigan, F21, $22. Tank, Aritzia(maybe?), $noidea.
Silk scarf, Etsy, $giftfrommom. Tights, H&M, $cheap.
Grey Suede Boots That Didn't Quite Make
It In The Photo, Winners, $giftfrommom.
Red sunglasses, H&M, $7. Lipgloss, Pure+Simple, $15?
Bag, UO, approx. $45.

 

I have to say I am looking forward to the end of this day. But tomorrow is the mad writing/packing fiasco that will be the day before we leave for Miami. Just in case you were interested in what the weather will be like:

Ah-mazing.
