Guest List

The stage of my life where you're at a wedding practically every weekend is (thankfully) over. Now, when we're invited to attend a wedding it's a rare (and therefore, more special) occasion.

A Good Find

I love getting new clothes as much as the next girl, but clothes are expensive. I will freely admit to "window shopping" (or windows shopping, lol) through Torrid's website or a variety of other online retailers that cater to the plus-size figure.

Weekday Workwear

I hardly ever brush out my curls.... I don't know why - I mean, I like how they look when I'm having a good hair day - and straightening my hair is a tonne of work, so really this is my only other option for styling this madness.

Body Con(scious)

Generally speaking, I love a good dress. Especially a nice solid, rich colour, and in recent years I have actually begun to have enough confidence to wear ones that inch a little closer to the body-con style. Which took a while. I went through a definite phase where if it clung too close to the body it wasn't in my closet.

Celebrate

I can't believe how fast time goes these days. I feel like it was just yesterday that I was hanging out in highschool with my friends and acting like a fool.

Repeat on Repeat

You know how you have those few items in your closet that you just love.... and you will probably continue to love for years to come? That's how I feel about this top and this purse.

That day before a shower hair

Ok - so where are my curly haired girls at?

Put a bow on it

Like most Moms, I often fall into the jeans and a t-shirt rut. It's just so easy to pull on in the morning and get to the business of making lunches, getting kids ready for school and the rest of the everyday life that gets in the way of looking awesome.

Good Taste

I am very lucky to have family members who have good taste. Almost everyone has experienced that gift that you open and say "Thanks!" when you're really thinking "Oh gracious! Please have a gift receipt!"

Double Duty

So - spoiler alert - this is not a purple skirt - it's a purple dress!

Sweater-dress and Inspiring Bloggers Link up

I picked up this cute sweater dress (tunic maybe?) from our local consignment store last week.

Leggings for Days

If I have a fall Mom-iform (that's mom uniform for the uninitiated) it's leggings and a tunic. Seriously - it doesn't get much easier than pulling on some good leggings and a nice tunic and just taking the day head on.

Leggings and Lace

This past Sunday we finally had a day that felt like fall - of course it was ridiculously rainy and miserable that day too - but hey - it is what it is.

Dress Like a Mom

I had someone say to me once - well, now that you're a Mom I guess you're going to have to start dressing like one... needless to say - that was long before now (and before this blog).

Even so - at the time I thought "What on earth does THAT mean?!"

Blue Hair, Don't Care

On Friday I had an appointment with my stylist to do something that I've been wanting to do for quite some time. I had about half of my hair dyed blue!

Poppy and Plum

Naming colours is a funny thing. When I was thinking of describing this dress as orange and purple it just didn't sound quite.... right.

Tie one (Scarf) on

Feeling a little vintage airline stewardess today! Lol

Brighten my day

Slowly and steadily I've been pulling out pieces from my spring storage box and when I pulled out this scarf I thought - yes! This is exactly the inspiration piece I need for a bright spring outfit.

Dreaming of Spring: Wardrobe Wishlist

Oh this snow. This horrible, cold, wet, snow. Ugh.

Okay -  I know, I know - I live in Canada. It snows here. Duh. But still. It's been oh-so-cold for the past few weeks and it snows like every other day and I'm just tired of putting on 18 bajillion layers every single time I want to go out of the house, and I'm tired of days where the air is so cold it freezes your nose shut and then hurts your teeth when you breathe.

Okay - that was probably too much information - the point is - it's cold, and I'm sick of it.

To combat my Feb-blah-ary I've been doing a considerable amount of online window(s) shopping and I thought I would share my Spring Wardrobe Wishlist with you all! I'm dreaming of bright pink, coral, green and blue. Sunny yellows and bright rich reds. I'm dreaming flowers and prints and fun accessories too!

The girl in the Purple Dress

I absolutely love this purple dress. It was such a find on a Walmart Clearance rack that myself and two of my other good friends also have it! One day we're going to plan ahead and all wear it at the same time - just for giggles!
