Cropped but Still Covered

Trends come and trends go. Some I've embraced (wedge sneakers... please still be wearable in the fall...) and some I've passed over (torso cut outs). I admit I was skeptical about the return of the crop top - hello overexposure!

News Flash - you can wear a crop top without anyone catching a glimpse of your midriff.

The key is to pair it with a high-waisted bottom.

You can add extra insurance by tucking in an undershirt like I did with this tank.

Have you tweaked a trend to make it work inside your comfort zone?

Little Fixes

Fellow bloggers,

You know that one little thing that bugs you about a photo? The thing you can't really see when you look on the camera screen but you can see once you get the pictures on the computer? It's annoying, but not worth throwing out the outfit post?

See my scarf?

I want that little space between the layers closed.

Details

Shirt: Gap (ancient... like probably ten years old)

Jeans: Joe Fresh (Halifax)

Shoes: Gap Factory Store (Halifax)

Tank: Garage (Vancouver)

Necklace: Forever 21 (LA)

Scarf: Smart Set (Halifax)

The season finale of The Carrie Diaries is tomorrow night! I really like the show and am crossing my fingers that it doesn't get cancelled (apparently it's on the "maybe" list). The music is fabulous, the outfits are fun, and it's got some good side stories too - gotta love Dorrit and her new man!

Heart Heart Heart is so Jetlagged

Greetings from time zone confusion!

San Francisco was so much fun! I can't wait to share some photos and escapades on the blog soon... just give me a few days to get organized. The four hour time difference is brutal to adjust to.

Here's a cozy look from the day before I left on vacation.

Details:

Sweater: American Eagle Outfitters (Halifax)

Tank: Garage (Vancouver)

Circle Scarf: American Apparel (Vancouver)

Jeans: Aeropostale (Halifax)

Shoes: Aldo (Halifax)

Necklace: Gift

Earrings: Gift (What on Earth, Dartmouth)

 

I love elephant jewelry. Owls too.



 

One thing I was not impressed with on my vacation was my nails. I didn't take any photos because they were gross.... I used those Sally Hansen nail polish strips. I saved them especially for vacation, so I wouldn't have to worry about changing polish. They were a flaking mess by day four and I had to make an emergency trip to Target, where I picked up a pretty plum color. I was so sad, because I have friends who've used them and said they worked really well. Did I do something wrong? I followed the directions and they took over an hour to put on, so it's not like I rushed...

 

I'm sad that my holiday is done, but happy to be back to blogging and seeing all of your inspiring fall outfits.

 

XOXO
