Like A Little Drop Of Ink In A Glass Of Water

Vest: Gift from my parents, Sweater: Thrift $6, Belt: Thrift $1, Dress: Fairweathers $25, Tights: Gift, Socks: Ardenes $3, Boots: Spring $41

Hello everyone!!! i have been busy busy the last few days working in the morning and then going to family Christmasses. I am completly vegging tonight, just watching tv shows, catching up on all of the blog updates i missed and trying to stay awake. I wore this outfit yesterday to a Christmas but i didn't have time to take any photos so i did these today. This is the blog debut of my little dog, Cleo!! I have seen other bloggers take gorgeous photos with their pooches and i thought what the heck i would give it a try. It did not go as planned since i had envisioned her sitting and facing the camera but instead she ran around the yard sniffing things or stood on my feet staring at me. There were some hilarious photos where i am trying to get her over to the side, i think i might have to do a blooper post at some point. In the end after about thirty botched frames i put her back in the house and continued to take my regular outfit photos. I just LOVE my fur vest, i have worn at some point everyday since i got it :). It is reversible and this is actually the inside, the other side is a black cable knit sweater material. I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and got some awesome gifts!!!!!

It was such a awesome Christmas i just loved everything i got!!! I have some super cute new things to show you (especially my black vest lined with grey faux fur) and some money to go shopping!!!!! Yup i am super excited!! In this post i am wearing a new skirt from my sister which i love, the circle scarf i not to subtly hinted i wanted and the American Apparel winter leggings my other sister got me (they are soooo warm it is great). For the next two days i work in the morning and then have a family Christmas in the afternoon, i think it will be a long few days!!! I hope everyones Christmas/Holidays are going amazingly!!!

Can't You See We're Wastin' Time

Faux Leather Jacket: Winners (gift from sister), Sweater: Stitches $20, Shorts: Stiches $? (really old), Tights & Socks: Ardenes $3 each, Boots: Spring $41, Scarf: Gift from my other sister, Leather Gloves: borrowed from my mom, Ring: Ardenes $5

I think this is the first time i have ever posted a outfit where not one thing came from a thrift store!! It seems a little bit weird since most of my clothes are thrifted but it is nice to change things up a smidge. I am wearing my two absolute favourite colours today: red and black (ok black is shade but close enough). For the next few posts i am going to try and wear lots of red to get myself into the festive Christmassy mood. The sweater i am wearing in this post was one i rescued from my giveaway clothing pile. I bought it last Boxing Day actually but once i got home i decided it wasn't my style and only wore it a few times before discarding it to the get rid of clothing hamper for months. It is a darn good thing i check that pile everyonce and a while since i i can't believe some of the clothes i find in there!! I mentioned last post i wasn't feeling to good and sure enough i had a sore throat/ fever the next day. After taking loads of vitamins and medicine i am much better today, it was such awful timing, right before Christmas. I am so thankful it was just a little cold, i don't get sick to often so when i do it is generally a full blown two week thing!! I can't believe Christmas is only a few days away, if i don't post before that i just want to wish a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone :)!!!

Falling From The Things We Could Have Heard

Coat: Thrift $27, Sweater: Thrift $4, Tights: Ardenes $3, Shoes: Payless $13, Socks: Ardenes $3, Hat: Thrift $1, Necklace: small little boutique $5

I got a small job as a parking attendent at a ski resort this winter so the last few days i started work there. After showing the cars where to park i ended up shovelling quite a bunch of snow so i am sore and stiff all over. I wasn't feeling to good today (i think i got a chill from being outside) so the thought of taking my coat off for outfit photos was not a happy one. I know i have worn this coat alot recently on here (yikes) but this outfit was kindof just thrown together i promise i have a whole bunch of different outfits all lined up for future posts. I am going Christmas shopping tomorrow... finally, i haven't even started yet and our family one is in a few days, so so so bad. I am a total procrastinator i remember one year when i bought them the day before Christmas!! Also i have almost reached one hundred followers (YEAH!!!) which i am terribly excited about. So i am going to do a Christmas/100 hundred followers giveaway as soon as i can get to the city and buy some things for it (hopefully in the next few weeks but i swear it is coming soon!!). I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!!

One Week Of Danger's Not Very Long

Blazer: Thrift $5, Lace Shirt: Thrift $2, Skirt: Thrift (hemmed) $6, Tights: Ardenes $3, Socks: Ardenes $3, Boots: Spring $41, Belt: Thrift $1

Wahoo it stopped snowing today!! My plan from now on is to take lots of outfit photos while the weather is nice so if there is another five day blizzard i will still have some thing to post!! I went shopping today in a nearby city, generally i don't find to much i like in regular stores but there were some lace cardigans, sequined dresses, big fluffy scarves and the coolest wing ring to tempt me. But logic prevailed and the fact i have no money so i definitely know where i want to go after Christmas!! I am actually really proud of myself besides my brown suede coat i haven't bought anything in about two months. I am finding a whole bunch of clothes i forgot about in the back of my closet and have decided i really don't need to much more besides the things on my Christmas wish list :). I have worn this blazer before (here & here) and the lace shirt (here). Although you can't see it the skirt has a small houndstooth pattern all over. I bought it last year and it used to sit at a really awkward length on me, right in the middle of my knees so i hemmed it up a few weeks ago. The only thing i don't like is it makes my hips look really wide since it is bit big but the blazer covers that nicely! I tried out a new make up look today, i don't like lipstick as i tend to smear it everywhere and can never find a good shade but i bought a Maybelline lipstain which i don't mind. It is super super bright in person so i am little unsure about that, i think i would wear it maybe to a party or something. But it was totally worth a try and i love how it looks in the photos. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week!!

Christmas Wish List

Hello everyone!!!! I have not been posting regularly at all this month and i am so sorry about that. There are no outfit pictures this post :( where i live has been hit with snowstorm for the last four days and it is still blowing/snowing something fierce today!! i am hoping (cross your fingers) to get out tomorrow or Thursday if it ever stops to take some. Last night the electricity went out scaring me completely, no heat and minus twenty something degrees isn't funny but luckily it was fixed after four hours and i have never been more thankful for the furnace!! I have seen lots of bloggers make a Christmas Wish List so to post something today i thought i would create mine. Much to my families dismay for Christmas i always want just money, my sisters say this is incredibly boring but i like to pick out and find my own things. So these are some things i want to find hopefully on sale after Christmas!!

1. Black Toque

Hats never look good on me, i have been searching for a black toque or beanie for a very long time now so hopefully this will be the year i finally find it.

2. Long Grey Cardigan

I love long cardigans, they are just so warm and comfy!! I would like to get another neutral coloured cardi and a nice grey one would do the trick although it might take a while to find thrifting (i can never find a good quality cardi, i guess no one wants to give them up!!)

3. Leather Leggings (H&M)

Out of my whole list i want these the most!!! i really really want a pair of leather leggings i think they would just go with absolutely everything. There is a H&M in a city near me so i am crossing my fingers something like these will be in stock there.

4. Skinny Cargo Pants (Stitches)
As much as i hate to admit it, i need a pair of pants to wear now that the weather has taken a turn on terrible. I really liked this pair of Cargo pants i found on the Stitches website which are a bit different from the usual skinny jeans.

5. Sequin Dress (Dynamite)

Aren't sequins pretty?! I really want something sparkly this year and i thought this dress was super cute!

6. Bandage Skirts

After wearing the bandage skirt i received in The Lovely Ones clothing swap i decided i really needed to get myself two or three next time i visited H&M. I would love to get a black and electric blue one!

7. Black Maxi Skirt (Forever 21)

I really love this skirt!!! i have never bought anything from Forever 21 before so i don't know how the sizes would fit but they have such cute stuff on there website i am really tempted to send in a order.

8. Lace Dress (Forever 21)

I can't find this dress on the Forever 21 site anymore so it must have sold out, i can see why it is super cute!! I love anything with lace and have dying to find a lacy dress. I would really like to find something similar in a cream or white lace for some variety (i have alot of black already) .

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

All of these shoes/boots are ones i have been stalking weekly on my favourite shoe website Spring. I hate shoe shopping in stores they NEVER have my size in (people who have big feet would also like cute shoes!!) let alone have them on sale. I don't know if it is just me but i find the construction of shoes are awfully crappy for a hundred dollar price tag. But the Spring website has fabulous sales and i can generally get my shoes for half price or more also there are always deals on shipping. I can't believe how close Christmas, i haven't done any shopping for presents at all...yikes!! I hope everyone has a lovely day!!

You Overdid It Doll

Sweater: Thrift $4-6, Dress worn as skirt: Thrift $2, Belt Salvation Army: $4, Tights: Ardenes $3, Socks Ardenes $3, Shoes: Vintage via Ebay $27, Necklace: a little boutique $5, Coat (last picture): Thrift $27

Ohmygoodness there is so much snow now!! It started to storm on Saturday when i took my last photos and then just fully stopped today. I took these photos in my backyard where there is this huge drift, one half of the yard as you can see is as high as my waist and the other is about mid calf. It was a complete challenge just to get back there as i had to wade through knee high snow, holding my camera and tripod up to get around my house (i am sure that looked super funny if anyone was watching!!). If anyone who lives in nice warm places would like some snow you can have some, seriously come take it there is lots to spare :)!! This is kindof a simple, comfy but still cute outfit, i love how sweaters look belted over dresses it is such a good way to remix clothes. I bought this sweater last christmas at a boxing day sale, i can't remember exactly what i paid for it but it was definitely in $4-6 range. It is a boys wool sweater and was huge when i bought it which i loved. The sleeves went past my hands and was super long. But there was a accident involving a dryer for a very long period of time and it has now been shrunk one heck of alot smaller then it used be. I love my two pairs of thigh socks, they are one of my favourite purchases i have made recently. I don't have thin legs, they are thick/muscular and always have been so i was a little apprehensive about this trend but i really love how they look once i bought them so don't think for a second this trend is just for the super lucky girls with twig like legs!! I think i am going to get a pair or two to put in my Christmas giveaway for sure. I hope everyone had a wonderful week!!

It's These Expressions I Never Give

Cardigan: Salvation Army $4, Dress: Thrift $6, Scarf: Thrift $.75, Tights: Ardene: $3, Socks: Ardene $3, Boots: Spring $41

Winter has finally arrived in Ontario. Yesterday we got a absolute truck load of snow and it is still storming today. Don't you just love how snow looks in photos? it is bloody cold outside but totally worth it, everything looks so pretty!!! As you can see it really started to snow when i went to take photos at my grandpas. I am really not the best at winter driving, this is the first year i have had my license so when i missed a road i just thought i would turn around on this side road. Massive massive mistake as it was slippery and not plowed. So when i tryed to turn around i got stuck in the middle of the road, wearing this not warm outfit. I had forgotten my phone at home so there i was on this side road with no houses and no way to call my parents. There was alot of cursing and attempts to push my huge minivan out but eventually i just gave up and burst into tears. A lady drove up and called her husband to help me (i was absolutely mortified by this point since i was completely blocking the road) and then another car plus a boy on a snow mobile came to my increasing embarrassment. Sometimes people can be so nice and they all pushed me out and i drove off to my grandpas. By that point i just wanted to go home and make some tea to comfort myself but i was already there and my parents would wonder why i was gone so long without taking any photos. I didn't exactly tell them about this experience as it was terribly embarassing and i still want to take the car out everyone once and while (that might be suspended if they knew about that incident, so to my sisters who sometimes read this blog please don't say anything!!!!!). I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!

P.S if my post song is playing some kitchy christmas music that is not intended, i don't know what is wrong with grooveshark one minute it will be the right song and the next it isn't? i am going to have to find a different music site.

But Everything Looks Better When The Sun Goes Down

Coat: Thrift $25, Dress: Fairweather $25, Scarf: Borrowed from my mom, Leggings: DIY Stitches $?, Boots: Spring $41,

I wore this outfit yesterday to go visit my sister (i took these pictures on her front porch which i love :)). I was actually really disappointed on how my photos turned out, with the exception of the pictures you see most were off on a funny angle and completely cut off when i straightened them out on photoshop. I was so excited to find this coat on my last thrift shopping trip!!! The suede is so so so soft and i love the brown faux fur lining for twenty five dollars it was such a bargain. I have been wearing it pretty much non stop since i bought it last week. On a previous post i mentioned about doing a DIY vlog post on how i did my leggings although i would love to do that I really don't have the time but i found this girl on youtube who used a stitch ripper the same as i did to make her tights (mine are leggings so it works for both!!). I hope everyone has a good week!!
