Finally in on the colourblocking trend, but cheating, as the colours are blocked for me. You can’t tell, because I’m not holding it, but my handbag is the same green as the glasses, and the pink is similar to that in the dress, so my glasses were slightly matchy-matchy with my outfit and this pleased me. These shoes got more comfortable, however my baby toe now pokes out the side. I have often wished that my baby toe just didn’t exist (or, that I did not have such wide feet), but especially when it pokes out of my shoes. Stupid … Continue reading colours!

Spent father’s day with my dad and nephew, (and sister, but she’s less important. Hi Brit!). Nephew played with my dad’s dog, BOSS, and was generally adorable, the way he is. I had a really nice day full of laughs, and my aunt even came round to spend time with my pops. I think he was pleased with how the day went down. Afterward, I curled up and watched 127 Hours, which I wholly regret doing. Dress, H&M Cardi, Zellers Sandals, Ardene Sweater guard, Lady Jane Necklace and Earrings, from my sister cat, Kisses Continue reading Father’s Day

I’m in love with this dress. I feel like a princess. I almost never wear pale colours, but the shape of this dress was such that I had to at least try it on, and I’m glad I did. It fits perfectly! I wish I could go back and get more. It’s boned! I love boning in the bodice. For me, it feels like you’re just put together, held in – I stand straighter, and feel better. I also picked up these wedges. Again, I seldom wear beige but it does seem a practical colour, will go with everything, and … Continue reading Pretty Neutrals

I missed a bunch of photos this week because I kept forgetting my camera at work. I’m sorry 🙁 There was nothing outrageous going on outfit wise anyway, that I can recall. Jeans one day, because I am sick. I have some kind of skritchy throat business that won’t go away. When I’m sick I get a bit down on myself, so less effort goes into how I look. However, I have been wearing makeup every day since purchasing a MAC lipstick, so I guess that is something. Yesterday I also got Clinique All About Lips, which I tried in … Continue reading Too warm, can’t dress

For a mutual friend’s awesome birthday, Lauren and I went for dinner and dancing (well, I went dancing, Lauren was too old / tired). The previous day, she demanded I wear these glasses with “all black, with pops of colour”. This is that request. I actually had a really hard time, since I wanted to be festive and birthday-y, but not too OTT as to detract from the birthday girl. I also wanted to appear fun and dancey, pretty.. I realize this makes me sound ridiculous but it took hours to choose something. So, the all black didn’t work out, … Continue reading “black with pops of colour!”

My new glasses came! I LOVE these so much. I don’t care that they are a wee bit on the large size for my face, they are hot pink, zebra print, cat eyes! I didn’t know that the order would be coming, so my outfit was not matchy-matchy on purpose, but it looked awesome in the end. So pleased! I got four pairs of glasses: white, green & pink, blue, and these, which brings my face-wardrobe to six pairs. Lauren claims that were I black and white, I would be Cruella DeVille; and that my purple hair and pink glasses … Continue reading If she doesn’t scare you…

I honestly don’t remember what day this was, or what shoes I wore with, or generally anything about this. So I’ll talk about having purple hair. Nuts to this! It fades immediately! Every time I shower the colour is a bit different, and here you can see blondey patches at the ends. On the other hand, red and purple look so great together! I need more red in my life, I guess. Bag, my mom’s, vintage headband, Ardene dress, TJ Maxx necklace, thrifted in NB Continue reading a rant. (a one-sentence rant).

It’s meant to be like 35 degrees with the humidex, so I’m as scantly clad as possible while remaining somewhat professional like. As well, these shoes, are my favourite shoes ever. I bought them when I was 17, they were comfortable then and still are. They’re also in amazing shape, considering. I forgot I owned this skirt, but I did laundry at the weekend and it turned up and I was like “Oh, how cute is this!?” It’s pretty cute. I like it a lot. This tee is the same as the one I wore a few days ago, in … Continue reading Summery

I’m off to the NKOTBSB concert tonight (as of writing, not posting, this isn’t scheduled til next week)! So excited. I realize this makes me ridiculous. I’m fine with it. You can see the purple more clearly in the hair today. I’m less keen on the colour in life, though, it seems to have dulled somewhat, sortof a greyish purple. I did pick up another vat of MP UV to re-colour (again), see if it intensifies. I may end up skipping shampoo for a while, or switching to something super mild. Dress, thrifted Necklace, thrifted Sandals, Ipanema Gisele Cardi, George … Continue reading NKOTBSB
