Adding to the Collection

There's something about black tops from Le Chateau that I can't seem to get enough of. I like black shirts because they are season-less and go well with neutrals or brights. The laser-cut details are fun! They had the shirt in white too (another one of my favorite shades) but I preferred the black one.

Jacket: H&M

Shirt: Le Chateau

Does a certain color dominate your closet? At a quick glance, I see black, white, and blue in mine (and no you can't see because my closet needs a make-over).

The Striped Blazer

My closet has been fed three blazers in the past few months! I've been inspired by other fashion bloggers to incorporate the classic piece into my wardrobe. Miss Melissa has a lot of great blazer looks in her archives - seriously, check them out!

 I cannot believe I forgot to take a photo of my hair. It's in a sock bun.... which may seem like no big deal to you, but given the amount of time it's taken me to actually achieve one that's appropriate to wear in public, it's a major deal to me. For those of you who are sock bun challenged, go out and get a mesh donut instead of using a real sock.

longdistanceloving is hosting a link-up today to celebrate stripes, which is a pattern I ADORE. I was probably a sailor in a previous life.

Stripes are my favorite, but polka dots come a close second. I'm linked with longdistanceloving to celebrate this fun pattern.

Novel-Tea: Part 15

Happy Hump Day!

Isn't November a fabulous month for reading? Holiday season isn't quite upon us yet, and it's too cold to be doing a whole lot outdoors -the perfect opportunity to curl up on the couch with a good book. Keep reading to find out one of my recent favorites!


I get a lot of my outfit inspiration from other bloggers. I really love the look of a blazer and a white shirt, but it's not the kind of thing I often feel like wearing. The occasions when I do should be immortalized in a photo.

Details:

Blazer- Ann Taylor (Wrenthem)

Shirt: Smart Set (Toronto)

Jeans: 7 For All Mankind (Century 21 kids section, NYC)

Necklace: Joe Fresh (Halifax)

Bracelet: Suzy Shier (Truro)

Watch: Guess (Vancouver)

Shoes: DV Dolce Vita (Macy's, San Francisco)

When I was in San Francisco I had a fantasy of buying Frye boots, but I didn't see a pair I fell in love with. These shoes were love at first sight! I really wanted a cap toe flat and I like the stud detail.


Vanilla Orchid is a recent release from DAVIDsTEA, and I love how delicate the flavour is. It's a sweet oolong and a pleasant break from the in-your-face tastes I usually go for.


I enjoyed reading Where We Belong while sipping on my Vanilla Orchid. I always look forward to a new read by Emily Giffin. She's the author that (in my dreams) I'd love to be compared to someday. Her books flow so well, and while the endings are expected, the journey there is always a surprise.

Where We Belong is a story told from the perspective of two people- a woman who chose to give her child for adoption and the eighteen year old daughter who finds her biological mom.
