{Valentine's Week} Pink + Red...

You guys know I'm a sucker for girlie, over-the-top proclamations of love and the like (ummm, hello!), so naturally a theme week was in order... First up, the colour scheme. Nothing says Valentine's day quite like a little pink-and-red action, so to honour that I went waaaay overboard with both. Typical. To bring this point home, let me tell you a little story: When I described this outfit to my friend Ashley yesterday, she lifted her hand, drew a deep breath and matter-of-factly said "no" before I could get past the varsity jacket. She was probably right but what can I say, I'm a sucker for a little festive colour blocking... Bring it on, Valentine's! xx

{Details} Retail Therapy...

Sheer boredom, coupled with my love of online shopping, led to a little splurge-fest recently... And since I worked from home yesterday, I was around when Mr. Postman came by to deliver the goods. No, not like that pervs, I'm talking about this adorable bag and these hot heels! Now truth be told, my dream animal-embossed bag is a little more Burberry than ASOS, but hey, I do what I can. And how cute are these ShoeMint pumps? My feet are officially ready to parrrtay.

Happy weekending, friends! xx

Light Bright...

Bonjour! I thought I would go for a little in-your-face colour blocking today to brighten things up... You likey? I hadn't worn this dress in a while, and this blazer has been the apple of my eye since I bought it a few weeks ago, so pairing the two felt like a no-brainer... After all, the brighter the better, right? Tah for now, darlings! xx

Adventures in colour blocking...

When Pretty Shiny Sparkly's Kristina announced her new "Bloggers Do It Better" initiative, I was super pumped by the idea... a chance to try out different looks alongside your fellow blogger? Count me in!

For it's inaugural post, Kristina challenged participants to share a colour blocking (yes, that's Canadian spelling!) look, or their brightest, boldest stripes... Although my wardrobe doesn't hold much by way of solid colour, I jumped at the chance to put together a CB look! Wouldn't you? Come on...

If you're a blogger who wants to join in the sartorial fun, check out Bloggers Do It Better for more info! And to see all the amazing looks from this challenge, click here.
