Sean’s birthday!

Last Saturday night was Sean’s birthday party and after some pre drinks and pub grub at Disgraceland, we headed for some Karaoke in a private room. I find we are starting to do this more often for birthday’s and it is always a blast. I do find it a bit intimidating sometimes though when we go with people who play in a band for a living. Luckily our friends encourage the good, the bad and the cheesy so it was a great night. Originally I had a completely different outfit planed...

Come in Closer

This outfit was completely built around the gorgeous scarf that I picked up last year. I am admittedly a scarf-a-holic but I normally buy cheap scarves while out thrifting, rarely spending more then $15 on any one scarf. This particular scarf, however, I had noticed it at Winners one day as I was walking out of the store and it literally stopped me in my tracks. I think it was during a time when I was trying to branch out of my red black and white rut and this silky soft gem with its blues...

Little bit of grandma ~ Little bit of sass

I have to say that I pretty much hit the jackpot when it comes to my in-laws. They are amazing people in every sense of the word and I love them dearly.

I knew that I wanted to really get dressed up and rock a bit of a vintage...

A birthday party for my love & my outfit

Back in April, it was my husband’s birthday and we celebrated it with some of our family and friends at the Cadillac Lounge, a local bar. Back when we first started dating, I used live across from this fantastic pub and it became a regular hang out for us, especially for birthdays. As you can see from the slideshow above, we had a great night hanging out and having a fabulous time. I probably do not say it enough but we are lucky to be surrounded by a talented, loving and amazing...

Easter Dinner / Collectif Review

Every year for Easter my husband and I go to his parents place for a fantastic dinner with his extended family. It’s a fairly laid back affair and people do not often get dressed up. But this year I decided to wear this 50′s inspired dress for the first time even though it was a bit fancier then what I’ve worn in the past. I paired the dress from Collectif with my wine coloured Fluevogs. I liked the way the red compliments the blue and white of the dress, giving it a bit...
