Beg Steal or Borrow

Beg Steal or Borrow- Ray LaMontagne & The Pariah Dogs

I have big news. Big, scary, keeping-me-up-at-night news. (no! I'm not pregnant!) 

I quit my 9-5 office job and am going back to school. That's right, at the ripe young age of 24 I've finally come into my own and figured out what I want to do, and now I just need to do it. 

I am so scared. 

But also so excited!! 

And you will be seeing a whole new level of thrifting and remixing on this old blog now... 

There, now you're scared and excited too! ;)

Teal Flutter Blouse- H&M, Dark Skinnies- J.Crew, Grey Suede Pumps- Nine West (Outlet baby!), Various Bracelets, Nerd Glasses-  I'm gonna call this DIY/Superstore :)

To celebrate the re-education I donned my faux-bans and tied my hair up, I felt this looked "smart". But then, since it's art school, I whipped out the bright coral lipstick and sequin bracelets... I hear those art-kids are crazy like that. 

Big Love!!

Comeback Kid

Comeback Kid- Brett Dennen

It has just been gorgeous here! Beach bumming and cute little dresses have been necessities, especially when they're as cute as this little one that I borrowed from the lovely Veronika over at Girl & Closet at the last blogger swap. 

I love that she last wore it on her blog back in March, when Vancouver was quite a bit colder. She added a lace shirt underneath, tights, flats... and looked utterly adorable! I had fun playing off the flower colours in it and added bright happy heels, poppy lips and (my current staple) wrap and sequin bracelets! 

Dress- Borrowed from Veronika, Yellow Heels and Taupe Belt- Aldo, Various Bracelets- Club Monaco, Le Chateau, H&M, DIY

I actually wore this outfit last Sunday for an evening at English Bay, and despite almost getting a soccer ball kicked at my head (thankfully it hit my shoulder and I got to pretend to be cool/co-ordinated) (sarcasm*) the evening was pretty fun. And the dress was perfect for it, swapping is kinda awesome- I highly recommend trying it out with your friends!

Current Obsessions

Lately I've become enamoured with simple shapes and pretty colours- black, ivory and coral seem to be taking up most of my wardrobe these days, especially when paired with my favourite gold accessories!

And since finding a gorgeous pink/coral lipstick that doesn't make me feel too loud, I've happily jumped on the lipstick bandwagon!  

What are you currently loving?

Wear and Tear

Wear and Tear- Pete Yorn and Scarlett Johanssen
We're getting our first snow storm today, it's crazy that just a few days ago it was an indian summer! Because of the upcoming freeze I've been wearing layers upon layers, trying to stay warm and cozy. This shawl is perfect to throw on top of pretty much any outfit I've tried (it looks ravishing with my pjs!) so it hasn't spent much time off my shoulders. 
In honour of my "hundred" list I'm wearing lipstick! Eek. I adore the stuff, it's so womanly and elegant, but I feel so ostentatious when I wear it. Though I did go kinda loud with the poppy colour! But after seeing so much of this colour on the runways I'm kind of obsessed. Maybe I'll leave it for special occasions, doing the dishes and Halloween.

And now I think I'm going to curl up on the couch with some sticky toffee pudding (!) and probably fall asleep in 15 min. I think the caffine intake is going to have to increase if I'm going to keep going at this pace! 
How's your week going? And has anyone thought of a good costume yet?? 
Halloweek is here!
