Underwhelmed.

I have been feeling not-so-nice for a little while now. It started whith a cold and has now morphed into some weird self-esteem thing. Nothing fits properly. I have this magical fantasy perception of what my body was like before I had my son. In my mind, I had this perfect body with no bulges or bumps that would fit into whatever jeans I wanted. I know that this is my mind playing tricks on me. In reality, my body was pretty much the same as it is now-with a few key differences. The most noticable of which is my BUTT. Shopping isn't as fun because I have these strange expectations and since I will NEVER live up to them, I will continue to get pissed every time I leave the changeroom. Sigh.

Anyway, I'm trying to pick myself up and dust myself off. This week is pretty casual because I am literally the ONLY ONE in my office. Everyone else is sipping eggnog by the freaking fire.

That's a Spicy Meatball!!

I call bullshit on the fashion industry 90% of the time but I do looooove Missoni.

I would love to be able to say that this sweater was real vintage missoni that I found in some great little boutique somewhere for $20.

It is not. I got it at Urban Behaviour which is the Canadian equivalent of Forever 21 I think. I have had it for almost 5 years and it never looks dated because it is a copy of a freakin VINTAGE MISSONI! Brilliant. Even though is is venturing into dress over pants territory, I decided that I had to wear it with these bell bottomed jeans to complete the 1970's bohemian rich Italian heiress vibe that I had going on (in my head!)







I really like this outfit. What do you think? Is it sufficiently stylish?

Mommy Monday

Hello everyone!

My son started daycare this morning! I'm excited and terrified all at once.
How does this relate to style? You may be asking.

Well, it means that I'll have to wake up earlier in order to make myself look half decent in the morning because I will be dropping him off. I usually have my clothing planned out in my head the night before but now I may actually have to get it out/ironed/ready. Oy. I think I did alright considering I just threw this on last minute. I did not bother with 'Make it work' Monday because there was no room for error today!

Most.Fun.Ever.

I stumbled upon this website that lets you create your OWN HOLIDAY SWEATER! Look at what I made!!!!


It was waaaaay more fun than I thought it was going to be. And I thought is was going to be pretty fun.

and by DIFFERENT I mean.....UGLY.

Hi. I'm' feeling at a bit of a loss for words today.

Hmm.




I'm really into this top. I got it while thrifting. At first, I thought it made me look like I was at a Renaissance fair because of the sleeves-then I changed my mind. I almost never wear my hair up. I always get compliments when I do but I don't really like it. Today I wanted a change and I was in a hurry so voila. When I got to work, my boss took one look at me and started to laugh hysterically and then he said "wow-that's DIFFERENT" Ugh. That's so annoying-when people say something is 'different' when they really want to say 'weird' or 'ugly'. This is from a man who wears purple pleated pants by the way.



Oh Yeah-IT'S FREEZING COLD. I know that Palestinian scarves are "SO TWO YEARS AGO" but there is something about this colour combination that I was loving his morning.


Have a stylish weekend!

Don't get High off Your own supply.

Blogging is so completely and utterly addictive. I usually post new blogs on my PC at work. It's just easier to post a blog without a one year old trying to type 'guest commentary by Kane' while I'm trying to get the blog up. My computer at work has crashed and I have been super swamped so I couldn't even take a break to post were it not impossible....where was I?....oh yes:

I have been away from Blogging/reading blogs for 5 days it has literally seemed like AN ETERNITY.

"Oh No! How will I go on without seeing someone artfully put together a belted cardigan, vintage floral skirt and over the knee boots?!!!

What will people do if they are deprived of my out of focus leopard print pumps?!!! What if they miss my ironic vintage t-shirt?!!!! Oh THE HORROR!!!!!"

I kid.

The moral of this long, poorly written story is that I think I really do love blogging. I love reading all of your blogs and I never want to miss another belted cardigan again :)

That being said, I did wear some cute things in the last 5 days. I was kind enough to put together a montage for your viewing pleasure. You're Welcome.

Today's look was pretty boring. I do really like this necklace.

These are my most favorite boots. I have had them for years and years. I had them before booties were cool and everyone made fun of me for wearing them. I've replaced the heels about 5 times. They make me feel like Apollonia.(10 points for you if you know who that is!)
