I adore this dress. Dress, Target Tights, We Love Colours Shoes, Payless This dress is back in rotation! It sort of fits again! This excites me because I love it to pieces. The little neck-detail is darling, the length is perfect for my 5’1″, and it’s my all-time favourite dress colour combo, black and white! (I have a number of black & white dresses. That number is high.) Bonus: CAT! Vex is super pretty and comes out to play more since she got her lion-haircut. Continue reading Ladylike Dresses

Shoes & Socks, F21 Cardi, H&M Tee, Boyfriend’s (Tristan I think) Skirt, Joe Fresh Watch, Target Sweater Guard, Trove I don’t like this skirt. I’m pretty sure I should do away with it. It doesn’t flatter me in the least, feels too short in the back, and is generally boring. What do you think? Skirt? Keep it Bin it – where ‘bin’ is donate Other – I’ll tell you in the comments    pollcode.com free polls  Continue reading Greyzy Days

Final pre-complete hair! Dress, H&M Tee, Urban Outfitters Shoes, Payless Jacket & Tights, F21 Necklace, gift from Mina Bracelet, trove WAtch, Target Bag, Rebecca Minkhoff for Avon (want one? email Lauren!) It was a Sunday, so needed comfort and stretchy materials do that (be Sunday, I guess?). Everything is jersey. Everything. The blazer, the dress, the tee. My necklace is a little baking tray and measuring spoons. So cute! (Similar) Continue reading Jersey Girl

The following outfit is inspired by the girl who was on fire. Leggings, American Apparel Cape, gift from Shiv Boots, Payless Socks, Wal-Mart Earrings, Joe Fresh Cat Clutch, gift from Mina I didn’t get to see the movie until a little while ago (last week?) and I was pretty disappointed. The movie took all of Katniss’ good qualities – strong leadership, fearlessness, selflessness – and turned her into just a girl who things happened to because other people did things for her. Continue reading And may the odds be ever in your favour

Well, it’s April 23rd and Glymm is the only box I’ve received so far this month, so rather than do one round-up post, I’ll make separate entries this time. mai couture social gloss in g’vinity: The colour is strange to look at in the tube, sort of a shimmery greige, but on, it looks alright on my lips. There is a heavy vanilla scent and it’s only a little bit sticky. atelier cologne in orange sanguine: Smells nice. I prefer perfume samples with a spritz to the kind you have to open and dab, because invariably the open ones explode … Continue reading April Glymm

Here we have step two in the hair process: Jeans, Joe Fresh Tank, H&M Tee, Urban Outfitters Jacket, F21 Watch, Miss Sixty Necklace, no idea. I’m actually pretty okay with this jeansoutfit, even though it is jeans, because it’s sufficiently different from my normal wear. Why I feel it okay to wear jeans all of a sudden I’m not certain. It’s easy? I don’t like that answer! Apparently, while I wait to get my photo done I dance, & look suspicious of my photographer: Enjoy. Continue reading Jeans jeans jeans jeans

This is what I wore on my way to get my hair did on trip #2! Dress, H&M Cardi, Joe Fresh Tights, We Love Colours (bottom) & Betsey Johnson (top) Booties, gift from my sister Lips, MAC Girl About Town Honestly, this lip colour can make any outfit fabulous. Though I did get stopped in the metro by a man who wanted to know about my tights, the rest of it for me is a bit ho-hum. I need to buy things! Continue reading Bright Tights

My first new hair outfit is always boring, to showcase the awesome of the hair. Cardi, Dress, & Tights, Zellers Watch, Target Sweater Guard, Trove. Hair by Alexandra Apple (www.aisforapple.me) My hair’s been like this for a few weeks now (I update in advance). Alex stopped me on the street one day and gave me her card, saying she liked my style (which is probably the coolest thing that’s ever happened to me) and since Chop Shop is seemingly defunct, I thought, why not! The worst that could happen is my hair will get fried by some amateur. I looked … Continue reading New Hair

Whoops! I took a few days off. Did you miss me? Say yes. You didn’t. Oh well. Jeans, Joe Fresh Tank, Republique Cardi, Zellers Watch, Hello Kitty chucks, Chucks. These shoes are fourteen years old. This was a lazy weekend outfit, and guaranteed I was comfy. What have I been up to? Went to see The Raid: Redemption, which was totally excellent, The Hunger Games, which was not, John Carter, which was in between. Watched some movies at home (Alien Opponent, so so good!), got my hair did (so fantastic!), celebrated by good friend‘s birthday, painted my hallway (pics soon … Continue reading Accidental Hiatus

So many weddings coming up! (Not mine.) Dress, H&M Tights, Simons Shoes, Rocket Dog ‘Greta Girl’ Also, this might be your first look at my new glasses. They’re so cute, aren’t they? I love them loads. I bought this dress for the Bachelorette outing of one of my oldest friends – we met in primary school. She’s travelled the world, now, and while she’s settling down a few hundred kilometers away, I’m pleased she counts me among those close enough to celebrate her soon-to-end singledom. We dined at Suite 701, where I tried to be careful about glutening, having the … Continue reading Bachelorette do!
