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!)

I wore this on Saturday. I picked up this sweater while thrifting last weekend. It is so adorable I can't take it! I am wearing absolutely NO make up and I'm realising as I look back at the pictures that between the fresh face and the bow in my hair-I'm pretty sure I wore this exact outfit in Kindergarden in 1983! Ha! That's Awesome!

Phew...I feel better now that I've got all that pent up blogging out of my system.

Stay Stylish Folks!

HTML.....Can't live with it, can't live without it.

Hi. I think I messed up that last post tinkering with the Html code. I am much too lazy to go back and figure out what I have done. Please tune in tomorrow for our regularly scheduled programing.

Heidi was stylish.

Hello all! Today is going fairly well so far. I am wearing this amazing sheer/metallic/floral shirt that I got in the $2 clearance bin at a really nice vintage shop called the Mad Gypsy.

It's a great shirt. It's the most perfect length and it adds just the right amount of glitz to my boring office job :) I did this crazy thing with my hair where I did this big braid and wrapped it around my head. It is very reminiscent of Heidi or some other random 'Swiss Miss'. There is something about this belt that I also love. I got it on saturday before I twisted my ankle while Dining and Dashing -my ankle is almost better now, by the way. It looks PERFECT with this top which is pretty baggy and HAS to be belted. I really like these glasses alot. For some reason they remind of Frank Lloyd Wright-I have no idea why. I was quite conflicted about the boots. I have had these brown, over the knee boots for almost 3 years and I used to loooooove them but now I feel like a bit of a 'trendy Wendy' in them. I am a bit of a snob that way, I admit. As soon as something becomes trendy, I lose interest. In the end, I went with the boots because all of my other options involved heels and Heidi can't wear heels to run around the mountains now can she?!?

I feel super cute and ready to take on the day! I'm going to go Yodel.

Oui Oui. Tres Trylish.

Oh.My.God.

Last night , my husband and I went out for our 2nd Anniversary. We went for french food at the cutest little bistro ever. We consumed:

Foie Gras - Salt-cured foie gras encrusted in toasted almond with an apricot-amaretto puree and croissant toast with a glass of sweet late harvest muscat

French Onion Soup

Butternut Squash Soup with Apple and walnut oil

Joues de Bison - Slow-braised, bacon-crusted bison cheeks w/ maple braising jus, heirloom tomato salad & corn fritters (100% local)

Confit de Canard - Tender pan-seared confit of duck legs w/ bacon-spiked cassoulet beans, market vegetables & a tri-citrus veal reduction

Crême Brulée - Vanilla

Absinthe, Malbec, framboise and Bitters made by French Monks!!!

Oh Mon Dieu!!!!!

It was absolutely out of this world. So needless to say, I was feeling quite inspired this morning! My outfit is clearly Parisian in feel.

I love this simplicity of a good striped shirt. Of course I had to keep it sexy with these awesome gigantic hoop earrings. They are my new favorite things. I had a bit of time so I did my eye makeup with a nice classic cat eye. I feel hot! Ooh and I even went with some Chanel inspired quilted ballet flats. C'est Magnifique!!!!

This morning, I checked out one of my favorite blogs Blue collar Catwalk and it turns out we kinda both had the same idea! Anyway, I think today's going to be a lovely day. I love you Manny. I love everyone else too :)
Stay Stylish!
