Terrible Love

Terrible Love- The National

Oh how much I love this little lace dress! 

And since coming to the conclusion that every Fall lace, leopard print and red will be in "in style" I don't think my love will fade any time soon. That reminds me, cost per wear justification calculations, I love you too.

Aaaand this is a view that you just don't get in rural Manitoba...

My lace dress took me to a fancy dress, champagne bubbly birthday party for a friend that was so much better because we were high up in a pretty city watching the sunset and eating tiramisu cake.

Be jealous, very jealous.

This was what I wore last Saturday evening, simple and breezy- one of those outfits that just kind of fell together and made me feel a little silly for not thinking of it earlier! 

The glasses were an inspiration from the library card I had just gotten that morning (Yay!!), when I got back to the apartment with an over flowing arm full of books I felt quite the nerd. Which, is pretty true to form so I celebrated with these beauties and some sangria. Ole!

In other exciting news one of my besties is coming out here tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited! We're going to be total tourists in the city and keeping out fingers tightly crossed for some sunny weather! 

What are your weekend plans lovelies?

I haven't had a chance to take any outfit photos this week. I know. What's up!? These ones are from last month but somehow they had become buried in my iPhoto folder, thankfully I stumbled on them today! I somehow don't think photos of my day would be too interesting (meetings, commuting and a bag lunch... oh so glam!)

We're back to my go to in-between season outfit of shorts and tights, but this time I added in a touch of lace via my pretty little dress (folded, very strategically, into the shorts!). With the slouchy boots and drapey sweater I felt pretty cozy, but not sloppy, and that's the kind of balance I like to strike!

I'm quite excited to take some outfit shots this Friday (day off!!). I swear that I have worn some stylish outfits this past week, just haven't had the time/camera/energy to document them! Be prepared for multiple posts next week. You've been warned. :)

Whew. These photos are of an outfit that I wore over a week ago! That's how far behind I am guys. This is also why I need to start dating a photographer (if anyone knows a cute one, send him my way!). That way I might actually be able to take regular outfit photos! 

I fell in love with this little dress when I was shopping in Winnipeg a few weekends ago. It's all lace on the top and completely pretty, I wasn't planning on treating myself but couldn't seem to leave the store without it! And I'm glad I didn't, it's getting a lot more use than I ever thought it would (I'm even thinking of sneaking it into an upcoming wedding if this nice weather keeps up).

I've been doing a lot of thinking about what I want to accomplish in my life (a certain nasty-number birthday brought this on...) and have started making a list; "the hundred". Quite simply, it's a hundred things I want to do/learn/see in my life. I haven't finished it yet as I'm trying to be honest and thoughtful about each entry (even if many of them are completely dorky and things only I would like (number 068. sing karaoke and don't care that I'm horrible)) but it's been really awesome to think about all the possibilities I have. 

What's on your Bucket List??

p.s look how pretty our fall is! 

Big Jet Plane

Finally, a hot day! I know some of you guys are melting over on the east coast, so this won't be exciting for you, but it definitely put a smile on my face! I pulled out my khaki shorts and lace vest just for the beautiful day and then felt like being extra festive so I also put on my flower necklace! It's all very subdued tones, but there's enough interest in the designs of the pieces to keep it from being boring. 

I had to run out to the parent's place today and while I was there I tested out my childhood playground again, something I normally do when I'm there... 'cause I'm cool like that. Though, I don't think I'd much like people who never play on playgrounds anymore.

Lovely: Erm... so I know this is totally just for me, but sometimes you have to be selfish, right? The lovely thing for this post is Binx. My gorgeous, pissed off, brat of a cat who hates having his picture taken. I swear I'm not a crazy cat lady (most of the time) but this little guy can really turn on the charm when he wants to and I miss having him around my house (he only spends the winters with me). So there, I'm done being selfish and now you can all stare at Binx!
