Outfit - Off the Shoulder Yellow

I actually bought this shirt at Sirens about 4 years ago, (when I used to shop there), but I still love it for summer. It hangs beautifully and looks great when paired with darker bottoms.

I'm back after two weeks of not posting ... yeeks; have to catch up on all my blogs for sure!

As you guessed, been super busy with the "wedding" .. haha, I'm sure people are sick of me talking about it NON-STOP, but that's what happens when it's a month and half away!

I've gotten all my invites out, and can't wait for the RSVPs to start trickling in! So many appointments for things coming up; plus I have a Microeconomics exam a week before the wedding - fun! Here's the blog I had to make for the course - it's pretty bad on my part, but I just can't find the time to give it my all.

Anyone studied Economics in school? I really liked micro at the begining of the course, I found it SO facsinating, but now it's getting challenging! Normally I love a challenge but with being so busy I don't have time to sit down and really try to learn the stuff. I didn't realize how much math and graphs are involved, all of the curves are the same to me! I know I'll pass, but it won't be with an A or B, that's for sure!

Anyways, this was kind of a jumbled up post, but hope you have a good weekend!

I'm hitting the driving range tonight, and hope to see a movie sometime this weekend. Spending time with my dad on Sun for Father's Day, and have Monday off, so looking forward to that!

Forever XXI Haul

Hi Dolls!

How are you?

I thought I would share with you some of the clothes I got from F21 in support of their disaster relief fund for Japan. As I previously stated, on March 18, F21 was kind enough to donate ALL of their online proceeds  to Japan. How cool is that? I jumped at the chance to help out; the clothing that came was simply the icing on the cake.

I placed my order on Friday, and early Monday morning the bright yellow package of clothing was dropped on my work desk in what must have been the fastest delivery in history! I couldn't believe it So here is what I got:

First Up is this maxi dress.

 At half off, it was only $14!

I really wish I could've modelled it outside with some budding Spring foliage as my back drop, but I would've been shivering in the snow waiting for that to happen, so my laundry closet door it is:

Next is this floral tunic.($28) Perfect to pair with shorts and wedges, but here I'm rocking it with leggings, as there's no sign of Spring here (yet!). Don't mind the exposed hanger strap, I didn't cut it off or ensure it's secrecy before whipping out the poses.

I love the pattern and draped sleeves!! It gets super wrinkly, super fast though. I need a Tobi!

Next up are a bunch of layering tees; both long and short sleeved.

I can never have enough basic tees in my wardrobe to pair with scarves, big necklaces, vests; etc. They really are the fundamental basis of any great outfit. And F21s are so cheap; these were all under $6.

In short sleeved: olive, purple and black. In long sleeved: a dusty brown and white.

You can see they're a little see through, so proper selection of undergarments is advisable before heading out. (Or posting yourself wearing it online? haha)

I'm loving tucking in fitted shirts to pants with a chunky belt. Try it for a sleek silhouette.

And the short sleeved:

And that's it!
How is the weather where you are? Could you rock my dress FOR REAL, or would you also be hiding inside from the cold?

Outfit - Wine Tasting

Here is the outfit I wore a to wine tasing a little while ago:

Sweater Garage//Tank Aritzia//Jeans DKNY//Scarf Chado//Boots Charlotte Russe//Bag Louis Vuitton//

How was your weekend?
Just when I thought Spring was here, it decided to snow lots again this morning. I guess I should have expected it, being March and all .. Oh well!
I'm in a good mood this morning because I wrote my last exam for the semester on Saturday, and now I can get back to wedding planning. My classes were Business Law, Finance, and HR Management, and I managed to do decently on all of them. But oh how I despised the Law course! Is there anything more boring?! Criminal Law I can see would be interesting, but Business Law - bland.. HR was pretty bland too, but I LOVED Finance so much! I think they should teach an intro to finance course in High School, it's so valuable in teaching kids how to be smart with their money .. it would save so many kids from getting credit cards when they're 18 and getting into massive amounts of debt. Luckily I've always been pretty good with money, but I still think they should teach this course in high school. I'm just fascinated by the time value of money and how it can grow as if it's alive; it has a mind of it's own which is so neat, it just needs a person to direct it, but it can do so much for you. I can't wait to take other Finance courses and I hope I love them as much as I did this one. My prof was so nice and helpful, he gave me a finance calculator, how nice is that? I was just doing all my calculations in excel (best thing ever) but we couldn't use it on the exam, so he just gave me a finance calculator for free. I love when profs go out of there way to teach; there are so many who just don't care.
Anyways, that was my little schooling rant, I hope you have a good week.

Christmas Day Look

This is how I looked on Christmas day! Did you have a good Christmas?

I'm going to do a video showing the goodies I got.

Have you done any boxing day shopping?

It's Ryan's birthday on boxing day, so I took him out for dinner, and then we just had champagne at home. Hope you are having a good holiday season =)

Sleeveless Sweater - Costa Blanca

Scarf - Suzy Sheir

Jeans - DKNY Jeans

I guess technically this post title should read: Posing on my balcony in the Snow .. but it was right before I made my way out to the mall on the last Saturday before Christmas ... scary stuff!! I had no choice though ... everyone else's presents had been baught; it was just Ryan who I had yet to account for ;). I'm glad I was able to come up with something good though.

WHIP MY HAIR

I look like I'm peacing here, but it wasn't the intention.

Have you gotten all your shopping done yet?!

Holiday Makeup and Dress!

Hello, dolls!

I hope you all had a great weekend. Mine was fun but went by waaaay too fast.

On Saturday afternoon me and Ryan met up with my sister and some of her friends at a lounge for her bday .. Every year, Dec. 11 is the busiest day for me .. It's three of my friends bdays, my sister's bday, and both mine and Ryan's company Christmas parties. Needless to say, we can never celebrate them all, and this year we narrowed it down to my sister's celebration in the afternoon, and Ryan's work Christmas party in the evening. His is always the funnest, as his company holds it at the Rimrock Resort in Banff.

We got there with just enough time to get ready in our room before the party downstairs, and here's what my makeup looked like:

I wanted to go with a cross between frosty/smokey, and I think I achieved the look.

And can I just say WOW about MAC Paints as an eyeshadow primer? It kicked my eyeshadow look up about 100 nothches .. I've never been happier with the finish, or how long it lasted!

Here is the outfit I wore:

Dress: Bebe

Purse: Coach

Shoes:Guess

Tights:Shoppers

Earrings:Homemade


All in all it was a fun night!

Here I am hobbling back to the room after the festivites died down.

Notice anything different?

My tights ripped - not a little bit, but a huge gash that took up most of my leg.

I swear I'm cursed when it comes to nylons.

I hope you're having a good holiday season so far.

To be honest I won't be disapointed when it's over, as over the last week I've drank enough at company parties to last me well into the new year! I'm glad this is only a 3 day work week for me .. I can really use the days off to finish my Xmas shopping, etc.

Have a great week!

Halloween Outfit - Snow White

Here I am at home before the Halloween party. I updated this original post to include a couple more pics

Where would Snow White be without her Prince Charming?

Ryan's costume turned out ok in the end =) We found a ladies cape that was more prince like than the hideous black one, and other than that, he just wore his own clothes. I think he looked great!

Outfit - Fall is for BOOTS

Halo

Jacket:Costa Blanca - Jeans:DKNY - Crosses:F21 - Boots ..... WINNERS!

I felt rather grand-high-preist-ish in this little number ... what with my buttoned trench with crosses spilling out. But the stars of the show are clearly my new pair of pointers.
From ..... WINNY!!!

{A steal @ $59}

I'm now on the look for some sqround flat knee highs, and thigh high pointers. I already have about 5 pairs of ankle boots, so need to cool it a bit with those.

Whenever Fall comes along, I'm always so excited to pull on boots.
Do you love boots as much as me?

Outfit - Come to My Enchanted Forest

In Washington, mid-August.

Everything was so lush and green, my dress felt right at home.

My last summery post for awhile.

Now it's onto the layers and textures of Autumn.

My Outfit - The Boyfriend Shirt

In my case, this would actually be called the "fiance" shirt, but stealing an article of your man's clothing and making it girly and cute is commonly referred to as "boyfriend" ... Boyfriend jeans, boyfriend blazer and boyfriend shirt, as seen here:

Shirt - Ryan's half of the closet

Shorts - F21

Belt - F21

Shoes - Winners

Cross Necklace - F21

Cross

Do you ever wear you significant other's clothes?

OOTD - Florals

Hallo!

Just a quick outfit post showing you my work attire from yesterday.

Dress - Suzy - Shoes - Aldo - Necklace - Aldo - Belt - F21

I'm not as huge a fan of doing work outfit posts, because I feel I can't let quite as many of my colors shine with that darn "business casual" rule. But yesterday was nice and sunny, and I wanted to catch this summery frock in time.

Almost Friday!

Ready for the weekend yet?
