MY LOVE UPON YOUR DEVOTION

I would say I don’t do casual often here on my blog. If you follow me on instagram you’d get a real sense of my daily style (seeing as I don’t have the time to post on my blog daily). I tend to dress up even to work, on Friday’s especially. I just feel better when I look how I feel, it sets the mood for my entire day.

In university a prof told me always to dress up to an exam. To wear your prettiest dress, do your hair, – which resulted in me wearing heels. ALL my fellow students looked at me like I was nuts, or trying to hard, but the truth is – I honestly feel like I did better because I felt good. Track pants and top knots may work for some people whilst studying or prepping for an exam, but for me – I’ll take looking like a million bucks and scoring an A+ any day.

I suppose that pep talk comes from my prep-look, with commercials and advertisements all over the city citing back-to-school, I can’t help but be a little nostalgic – I loved school, and even more the school supplies lol, and although each year I look up new courses to try (next on my list is floral arrangements!), and set goals of new adventures to adhere too (blogshop, LuckyFABB) – it’s pretty great being done with exams in general, but I will never lose the urge to learn. Neither should you.

UP UP UP IN THE CLOUDS

I found this skirt a few months ago at one of my most coveted vintage shops in Toronto – 69 Vintage. My girl Kealan owns the hot spot, and 90% of the things I buy from there are directly from her personal wardrobe – I am almost certain she no longer takes it personally when I walk away with her treasures lol, after all – she insists – this skirt however, was hanging waiting for me upon my arrival. It was days before Toronto fashion week and  this girl had not a thing to wear (ain’t that always the way though?). $40 – 1970′s – an ace.

The top, well – this was from my most recent Value Village take over – (read last post) – $5.99. I had never thought of green being electric – but apparently that shade of green does exist – for I now own an electric green button up.

Head on over to my eFriend Jentine’s blog My Edit – her last post is all about how to distinguish what to look for when thrifting – my goal is for her and I to one day smash ideas together to create a Thrift Bible. Thoughts?

PARTY PANTS

Hello beautiful faces and places! excuse the hiatus, if you follow me on facebook or twitter you would know that the Bloggers Night Out team and I held two events last week in conjunction with Bloomingdale’s for the holiday season. You can find more details on our website, but I will reveal it was fabulous, luxurious, and a whirlwind as I flew to and from Boston all within eleven hours for the event.

For those looking forward to the holiday season, Happy Christmas! I am blessed beyond belief and wish nothing but the same for you. These pants just added such a happiness all over my body when I spotted them. I had a massive rush of excitement and even jumped up and down in the store. I had a Christmas party to attend that night, so naturally, these were worn. Epic find. Sequins equal-out-to-be an instant mood lifter so I highly suggest in purchasing something a little sequin-esq this season, it just makes everything perfect. Happy Christmas all.
