What I Wore: The long & short


(what i wore: skirt – lush from shop ultra, blouse – vintage from potter’s house, heels  & earrings – forever21)
I had the opportunity to get a blowout at Ultra studios last Friday. It was a total treat. Anyway, I found this asymetrical skirt and knew it must be mine. I wore this Monday, when the weather was balmy but I think the skirt will really come alive over tights and platforms. 

Inspired by the 40s

I am currently inspired by the feminine silhouettes of the 1940s, the soft coifs, the bold lips, the high waist…re-imagined into a more modern replication. jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 57jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 58jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 59jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 60jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 61jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 62jalouse 2011 octobre (dragged) 63

What I Wore: On Point

(what i wore: skirt – vintage from potter’s house, top – tj maxx, heels – banana republic, necklace – vintage from mae’s, lips – cover girl lip perfection in siren)
I don’t know if pointy toe pumps ever really went out but either way, they’re back. They are such a feminine shape and they do wonders for the legs.

The Great White (Blouse)

One of the undeniable staples of a woman’s wardrobe is the white oxford. It’s a classic must-have and can be worn in an infinite amount of ways. I realized yesterday that I have 6…oops I don’t feel guilty.

What I Wore: Lazy

(what i wore: oxford – polo, black skinny jeans – lee, sneakers – forever21, easiest hair ever from here)
Friends, I’m in a rut. The coldish/rainy weather is not getting my creative juices flowing in the form of outfits! I’ll try to pull something fun out of my hat soon.

What I Wore: Boxy Blazer

(what i wore: skinny jeans – lee from tj maxx, tshirt – walmart, strappy sandals – charles david, earrings – vintage from mae’s emporium, boxy blazer – vintage from cheap thrills also seen here)
I was pretty much obsessed with this outfit, it felt very 90s but also seasonally appropriate and fun. I whipped my hair back and forth all day!

A Gaggle of Girls

Pinned Image

I believe women dress for other women 95% of the time. Don’t you? There are rare occasions where we need/want/seek a male’s approval, but they’re pretty few and far between. That’s mostly because most of the men in our lives, namely love interests, aren’t quite adept at fashion or what is ‘in’ (for women) – and let’s face it do we really want them to be?
This is a wee dedication to girls everywhere that are rocking it out on the streets looking fabulous.

What I Wore: All Tied Up

(what i wore: blouse – polo, bowtie – claire’s, earrings – forever21, leather skirt – unknown vintage from potter’s house, tights – dkny, platforms – nine west)
I found this gem of a leather skirt for (wait for it) $5 the other day. I decided to snazz it up with ruffles and bows. My husband told me I looked like a card dealer at a casino. He might be right…
