Words Trip Like Untied Shoelaces



Photobucket


Hat: Spring $12, Leopard Print Scarf: Spring $15, Shirt: Bluenotes $6, Pants: Smart Set $12, Purse: Value Village $6, Boots: Spring $13

I never used to be much of a accessories person but they seriously can make a outfit look better by adding just a few things. This is such a casual outfit but i love how the mixed prints, bag and hat make it look more interesting. I went shopping on monday and got lots of great stuff!!!!! Value Village was having a 5%0 off sale for their Super Saver Club members which i totally recommend signing up for because i found some great things like my purse in these photos for super cheap. I cannot wait to take outfit photos of everything, i finally found my leopard print scarf at the mall which i have been looking ages for, it is AMAZING i love it so much plus it just goes with everything. I got these pants in Smart Set which kindof surprised me, i have been wanting skinny cargo pants for ages and i tried these ones on for fun since i thought they would be to small but they fit perfectly. I dont know if i really have the kindof legs which look good in pants being pear shaped and all but they are so comfortable especially on lazy days so i have been wearing pants alot more than i used to. Have a great day everyone!!

Sweater: Thrift $7, Tunic: borrowed from my sister, Belt: Thrift: $.50, Leggings: Stitches $10, Boots: Thrift $3 (oh yeah i couldnt believe that price either :))

Ohmygoodness i cant believe it has been over fifteen days since my last post!!!! I had a really wonderful holiday this year and got to see lots of my family :). This was the first year i was the legal drinking age in Ontario so my friend and i went out for New Years which resulted in some funny memories and me getting a nasty cold that is finally going away now. I also worked alot during that time although thankfully i have had the last few days off after working seven in a row. I am SO excited to get my paycheck for the last two weeks on friday, i am going to do some major shopping before i start saving all of my money for school. I did order these boots from Aldo as a little Christmas present to myself i have developed a tiny obsession with knee high boots. I borrowed this tunic from my sister when i was looking through her closet one night. I offered to buy it from her but i really cant blame her for wanting to keep it since it is totally adorable!! I hadnt taken outfit pictures in such a long time i totally forgot what to do in front of the camera which is why there are only two photos. I found this belt at my local thrift store, it is so cool it wraps around and clasps with these two gold buckles, i will have to take close up shots next time. I bought these boots back in October and completely forgot about them until now, they are kindof beat up if your look at them to closely but for three dollars they are awesome bargain!!!

Jacket: Gift, Shirt: Value Village $5, Jeans: Value Village $8, Boots: Spring $15, Hat: Ardenes $7, Scarf: Christmas Gift

Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!!!! I meant to post more over the holidays but i have been busier than i thought. I wanted to thank everyone for all your nice comments about my glasses on my last post they made me feel so much better about wearing them out about!!! I bought them at Hakim Optical in their 2 for 1 deal and i think the designer was Stella Vista. Today i am doing a guest post over at Fashion As Stranger so you guys can go check that out here, although i think i messed up my photo sizes a bit. I took these photos in late November before it got to chilly although all of our snow has melted now :(. Normally i would be very happy about that but i got a new cross country ski set from my parents for Christmas and i have a job at a ski resort which i start tomorrow (so excited to finally make some money!!!!) so it needs to snow asap. I hope you all are enjoying the holidays and dont forget to enter my giveaway if you havent already!!!

Photobucket



Skirt: Urban Behaviour $10, Boots: Aldo $80, Purse: Wild Rose

So these are my new glasses!!! I picked them up yesterday and i was so happy i liked how they looked still although my perscription is a bit off so i think i will have to get the lenses changed since they are way fuzzier than my old glasses. I have been wanting to do a blog give away for a long time now (ever since i got 200 hundred followers wahoo!!!) and i thought it would nice to do it around the holdiays :). I finally decided that it should be this sweater although I totally wavered when i put this outfit together since it is soooo pretty but i wanted the giveaway to include everyone and i think the sweater will look great on people of all different sizes. Here is a link to a very bad photobucket photo of it hanging up on a door, I am pretty tall and it is long enough on me to wear leggings with. The giveway is open to everyone and i will draw the winner on New Years Day to celebrate the new year (yes i am being that cheesy lol). I hope everyone has been getting all of there Christmas shopping done, i am so close to being finished and have nice day!!

Dear Sons And Daughters Of Hungry Ghosts



Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts by Wolf Parade on Grooveshark

Shorts: super old, Blazer: Value Village $8, Shirt: Thrift $2, Leggings: Stiches $10, Boots: Spring $15, Scarf: my mom made it for me :)

I really miss the warmer weather for taking outfit photos, i got outside and had to quit in all of ten minutes the other day. I hadnt planned on my scarf or hat being in these photos but i totally underestimated how cold the wind was which is why there are no photos of me looking at the camera. I kept trying to smile and it turned into this frightening grimace thing!! The last time i wore this leopard print shirt was in these photos which are pretty much my favourite i have ever taken. I found it at my local thrift store for only $2 and i always wonder why i dont use it more often when i find it underneath a pile of clothing in my room. I dont know whether or not i have admitted this before but i am just a tiny bit messy no matter how hard i try the clothes always gravitate from the closet to the floor :). Also I just wanted to thank everyone for all of your comments they really are so awesome and always make me feel so much better if i am depressed or down, so i really do appreciate them!! I hope you all had a nice day!!

The Place I Left Behind Me


The Place I Left Behind by The Deep Dark Woods on Grooveshark


Photobucket

Sweater: Value Village $5, Shorts: DIY Thrift $4, Blouse: Thrift $6, Leggings: Stitches $10, Boots: Spring $13, Purse: Wild Rose, Hat: Ardenes $7

Please ignore my awful hair in these photos the wind was so strong i had to put my hat on to hold it in place and it still looked totally dishevelled. I wear contacts regularly but today i went and picked out some new frames which i am so excited to get!!!! I always find it so hard to find glasses that look good on me and i just love these ones, i got right into the whole big geeky glasses trend so hopefully those dont go out of style for a while :). I am totally stuck in a fashion rut were all i wear are jeans, tshirts and plaid so I been trying to get out some of my other clothes at the back of my closet which is where i found this sweater and blouse. I wasnt to sure if this outfit was my style or not but i really do like how it looks so it is good to break out of the old comfort zone once and a while! I hope everyone is having a nice day and getting prepared for Christmas it is so soon!!!

Inspiration: Kirsten Dunst


Ready 2 Go by Martin Solveig on Grooveshark


Photobucket


Dang it i have gone soooooooo long without a post!!!! After the summer i tried to blog more often but i think i fell off the wagon a bit last week lol. I lent my sister my camera for a few days and then i didnt get out to take photos at all on the weekend. It is raining today (dumb weather) it gets dark so quickly now which is a big pain but i am going to get out as soon as i can. I have always been a fan of Kirsten Dunsts style, i think my style has gotten alot more casual lately so i am really into lots of layering with scarves and i always always love a good blazer. I hope everyone is having a nice day!!
