Maximum Crochet

I was so excited to pull this maxi dress out of spring/summer clothing storage.

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.

Column of Crochet

Another great example of a prime varagesale find that just needed a bit of work!

Tie one (Scarf) on

Feeling a little vintage airline stewardess today! Lol

Just Lucky

A little green to celebrate St. Patrick's day today!

Relax

Some days are made for spending on the couch with a good book, a cup of tea and a cute dog to cuddle with. This was one of those days for me.

Vintage Inspired

Every now and then I get just a teensy bit obsessed with vintage and retro styling. I love the pictures I have of my great-grandmothers in their cotton day-dresses, sensible tweeds, and good walkable dressy shoes. I love the hats (and I'm wearing a fascintor headband in homage to them) and the simple accessories.

Fabulous Friday - Introducing Andrea!

It's back for another round - Fabulous Friday!
You've actually heard from Andrea before because she is the make-up queen behind the Mom skin-care and Mommy makeup posts - and now I've finally convinced her to to share her style with you as well!
She is a make-up guru, a Younique Representative, a social media maven and a Mama to 3 kiddos! Welcome Andrea!

A lazy Sunday with a little grocery shopping, late lunch with the family. What to wear... This mama is all about comfort (but I still want to look like I tried...) So this is what I came up with!

Outdoorsy... ish

This is one of those outfits that I always try and categorize and it comes out as "Outdoors...y....ish".
Thing is - if I was actually spending time outdoors, I probably wouldn't be wearing this. But this is the kind of outfit that people think of when you say "outdoorsy". Y'know?

Plaid and denim

This plaid shirt is quickly becoming a wardrobe favourite for me. It has a great loose, comfortable cut, soft flannel fabric and yet enough structure to be worn on it's own and not look like I'm wearing my Dad's shirt (which I totally used to do, I'll admit it - it was the 90s....).

Summer dress, Winter Weather

I love being able to translate summer pieces into winter wear. It can be tough, and I have a few rules in order to make sure it works.

Cables and Velvet

I love lush, rich, wintery fabrics like velvet.

Layered

While layers are a definite necessity for warmth this time of year - especially when we've had gusting winds of up to 90km an hour - I often find that I look more like the Stay-puft marshmallow man than a woman with a figure when I layer up. I think the trick for this is to pick layers that are thin but warm.

Graphic Sweatshirt

Starting off with a casual look this week!

This week I'll be linking up with Andi from Just Another Smith several times because it's graphic-tee week!
