This Plus That

And When We Finally Kiss Goodnight....

Love these winter interiors. Merry Christmas!

Let It Snow...

Wearing Zara boots,  borrowed Aldo bag, Urban Outfitters army jacket, scarf
and sweater from H&M, vintage wool hat. 

Some Things...

Don't some things around you just relax you? You can be running around in chaos and then all of a sudden, little things, normal things, things you see everyday, can just relax you even for a moment...

Happy Friday! I hope it relaxes you.

Winterize

I went to a winter wedding this weekend and finally had the chance to wear the cropped fur shrug I bought in the summer (on sale, down from $200 to $40!) Remember you can click on the photos to enlarge.

Wearing dress from Zara, suede pumps by Steve Madden, elbow length suede gloves from H&M, vintage clutch, Tiffany earings and faux fur shrug from Anthropologie.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!

To Self-Plagiarize

Just recently on my way to class, I was stopped to be photographed for the Queen's University Vogue Fashion Show streetstyle blog; To Self-Plagiarize. This blog is a great mix of the "university-life" type of style I see on campus everyday. Check it out....

Cheap & Chic's Gift Guide - Under 100$

It's starting to be that ridiculously busy time of year again. So instead of frantically rushing around a shopping mall trying to buy your special someone(s) a present...hop on-line and do a little searching. Almost everyone has something affordable and darling on sale right now.

These are my (a)most wanted, (b) already purchased cause I couldn't wait or (c) little things I might get for people I love.....and you might too!

Anthropologie's Tri Petal Bobbies @ $6.95 for the girly girl.

Anthropologie's Dining Room Measuring Spoons @ $24.00 for the baker at heart.

Anthropologie's Stormy Nut Bowls @ $10.00 each for the entertainer.

JCrew's Solid New Glamour Top @ $50.00 for the glamour puss....(I have this in blue and just bought this in white as well...fits beautifully.)

JCrew's Solid Foldover Swim Shorts @ $46.00 to match with the glamour top (I also have these in blue and they're super flattering.)

Ralph Lauren's Slim Fit Chelsea Oxford, on sale @ $54.00 in multiple colours for the prep.

Anthropologie's La Boheme Butter Dish @ $14.00 for the occasional indulgence.

Asos' Long Fantasy Fur Snood @ $34.48 for the ultra cheap and chic, even in the freezing cold...I've had my eye on this since the summer!

Asos' Nude Feather Clutch @ $44.82 to fancy-up those last minute holiday parties.

Asos' Partytime Peeptoe Platforms @ $77.58 for the anywhere-anytime gal, perfect with slouchy socks, over-the-knee stockings or sparkly tights.

Asos' HeadBand Turban @ $13.79 for those who don't want to sacrifice warmth for style...I also have this and it was a great buy!

When in doubt I usually keep stores like Anthropologie and Urban Outfitters in mind because they have home-decor sections. Anthropologie has these great little teacups and mugs with various initials on them, which is a perfect, affordable way to say "I'm thinking of you!" I've gotten tons of little unique decor gifts for low prices at these stores so keep them in mind!

Happy Shopping!

A Tailored Game

Despite the ultra-cool, slouchy, biker, messy, I-don't-give-a-damn looks out and about everywhere at the moment, now and again it's nice to pull it all together with some tailoring. I really mix the two styles a lot, it looks and feels great to have some variety from one end of the put-together spectrum to the next.
