Bare Legs

I'm loving this warm weather!  With the temperature staying around 25 degrees Celsius I was able to pull out one of my minis from the back of the closet for this quick photo before the sun set.  I hope the weather stays like this for a while :)

Party time

Here's what I would have worn on NYE if I had gone out.  Instead I opted to stay at home and plant myself on the couch.  My sister and I made some yummy appetizers (a few pics here) and we spent the night watching the US/CAN hockey game (CANADA WON btw!) but unfortunately we lost last night's semi final :(

This dress has a nice subtle sheen to it, see photos below.

DIY bracelet and glittery nails.  

I love this bright orchid nail polish, a new purchase with my gift voucher from here.

I love this school boy blazer especially the buttons!

My best find from 2011, read more about it here.

{Dress- Jack by BB Dakota}

{Blazer- Aritzia}

{Shoes- Vintage YSL}

I still have about a week before I go back to work (school's still out), but I'm looking forward to all the new and exciting things that will happen this year!  I also want to thank all of you for your thoughtful comments.  I read every single one and truly appreciate it!  Remember if you love my blog then please follow on Google Connect Friends or Bloglovin :)


How did you spend NYE? And what did you wear?

Going Back in Time

A few weeks ago my sister and I went to the Vintage Clothing Sale at Chateau Laurier.  It was my first time going as in years past I was at school.  Immediately as I walked in I was overwhelmed by the number of booths, probably 60+, and amount stuff available.  We spent HOURS going through all the costume jewellery (tons!), bags, shoes, furs! etc.  It was fun to be taken back to another era and be inspired by all the beautiful & unique things that were there.


Check out some of the things we took home with us.

My sister found these very cool sunglasses

I love the shape!

She also found this handmade oversized wool sweater.

It's really warm, perfect for winter in Canada!

Not pictured is a grey cashmere J.Crew sweater I picked up (I know not really a vintage item...) for $20, total score!  I really had to restrain myself as the booth had TONs of cashmere ;)

What's your best SCORE at a vintage sale/market?

Hidden Treasure

During a recent trip to my local Value Village I stumbled upon this little gem in a pile of discards:

I couldn't believe it, authentic vintage Yves St. Laurent pumps in excellent condition for $7.99+ tax!  I looked them up online and discovered they are actually 1980s vintage silk pumps selling for $75.00-124.99.  I really lucked out :)  Can't wait to find an occasion to wear them!
