I forgot to do a proper photo, so here is me in action on the day. Dress, H&M Tank, Dex Watch, Hello Kitty Brooch, vintage, my grandma’s Earrings, Joe Fresh Hat, present from my mom, vintage (apparently from the 40s!) My tips are pinkish, as you can see. Christmas was awesome. I spent it with my best friend (above, Aaron) and my family, and it was super nice. I made the turkey (!!!) and my sister made the dinner (though Aaron made the potatoes) It’s New Year’s Eve! I suppose I should do resolutions or some such, but I don’t … Continue reading Christmas Day

I’m pretty behind on my posts, and I’ve been slacking on taking photos. It’s just so cold outside now (-15C)! I’ll do better. Dress, H&M Hoodie, GAP Leggings, Les Ailes Boots, Payless Watch, Miss Sixty Ring, Trove Bracelet, Trove I can’t believe this was taken only a few weeks ago. Outside now is covered in the white stuff and ICE and breathing hurts. 2012 is almost here, though, I’m pretty excited! Continue reading Polka Dots

Dress, Reitmans Tights, We Love Colours Boots, Naturalizer Cardi, Joe Fresh Bracelet, gift from Lauren Brooch, Toronto Rings, Lady Jane Nails, Essie Super Bossanova The outfit came about because I got a BUNCH of rings from the Trove, and I need to wear them. These two went well together, and so I decided to go pink. There are quite a few shades going on here, but I think it works nicely. Continue reading Pink.

I love how this turned out! Tank, Republique Cardi, Jacob Skirt, Old Navy Leggings, AA Boots, Payless Necklace, hs graduation gift from my mother watch, Miss Sixty ring (bow), F21 I think everyday sequins are absolutely fine. And I love how the stripey sequin looks with plaid. This skirt is ridiculously itchy, being wool, so tucking in is a MUST (and more underlayers = better). The AA leggings come up to just under the bust, so there’s no chance of wool touching skin. Even so, I felt a little prickle now and again. This outfit came about because I was … Continue reading Daytime Sparkly

I love this tee, it amuses me terribly. Tee, shirt.woot Skirt, Old Navy Cardi, Jacob Leggings, Les Ailes Boots, Payless I was quite comfortable in this, it’s hard not to be in tee and courderoy. People often ask me why I don’t wear pants/jeans and I just don’t find them comfortable. I change sizes often (often!) and skirts are more forgiving. I have everything from 8 – 18 in my wardrobe and a skirt will just get shorter and high waisted or hip-slung, whereas I probably couldn’t cram my thigh into the waist of a size 8 pant. So it … Continue reading Everyone can see me

In an effort to trick myself into a good mood, I wore colourful clothes. Dress, Zellers Cardi, H&M Tights, Les Ailes Boots, Payless Earrings, gift from my sister Sweater guard & Brooch, Lady Jane Watch, Miss Sixty It kindof worked, I was feeling ill but marginally cheerier. Nothing says Continue reading Colours!

I got a new winter hat! Hat, San Francisco Hats (Winners) Cardi & Dress, Zellers Leggings, American Apparel Boots, Payless Earrings, gift from Lauren from … Florida? I love the cheek of this hat. It could be totally normal and straightlaced, but there’s a big ol’ bow and an asymmetrical brim and it’s just delightful. A wee bit large for my noggin, but looks super cute, so I am pleased. Also it keeps my head warm, which will be a plus when it gets all snowy again. Continue reading hat hat hat hat hat hat

Turquoise is among my favourite colours, I think. Blouse, Skirt, Old Navy Belt, thrifted Cardi, Zellers Boots, Naturalizer Tights, We Love Colours Bracelet, present from Spain Earrings, Wal-Mart when I was 13. Sweater guard, Lady Jane You can’t see it, but I’m probably also wearing a watch. I used to not wear earrings at all. My skin is quite sensitive (see: the rash from necklace, HK watch), and nearly all earrings make my lobes hurt for days. These, though, I’ve always been able to wear. I don’t know what they’re made of, but it’s magic. Non-irritatey magic. I’m into the … Continue reading Earrings.

I may have been feeling ill, by the look on my face. Tee, Reitmans Infinity Scarf, Manteaux Manteaux Skirt, Joe Fresh Tights, Les Ailes de la Mode Boots, Payless I bought this shirt because I loved the colour, but the drape on my frame is not quite right. I like how it looks in the end, but it makes me wish I had a longer torso, which is not a feeling I like. My torso is fine, damn it, shirt! Continue reading Peachy keen

The snow melted!! Tee, Urban Outfitters Cardi, thrifted Skirt, Dynamite Tights, Aldo Boots, Payless Ring & Sweater Guard, Lady Jane The beginning of winter is such a weird time. You really never know what to dress for. The snow melted, so I went back to my normal boots and coat, and was still slightly overdressed. Ten degrees, though, so not complaining! Going through my jewels makes me realize just how much I have. I have decided to : a) wear more earrings b) wear at least two pieces of jewellery every day, not including watch c) re-categorize for better viewing … Continue reading Winter blues
