Birthday Break

Thanks Mother Nature for waiting til the day AFTER my birthday to dump some more snow on us. How could a beautiful day like Saturday be followed by a blizzard?

Birthday Details

I'm getting so violently sick of winter clothes right now. Anyone with me?

Happy St Patrick's Day! I hope you've all got a dash of green on today! Maybe the leprechauns will dig us out tomorrow...

The Easy Backdrop

Although it's not a big blank stone wall (which we really should have built on our house considering the blog, eh?), the back deck is a decent and really easy place for outfit shots. Plus, I have my own built in wind machine for no cost! Seriously, the windiest place I have ever lived. 

Details

Black top: H&M

Striped top and vest :Joe Fresh

Jeans: Joe's Jeans

Boots: Aldo

Scarf: American Apparel

I'm getting ready for a hair appointment and want to make a bit of a change. I'm thinking sombre (darker blond to light blond). Any other ideas?

Enjoy the weekend! We made it through January (Canadians understand...)!

The Chambray Skirt

It's no secret I love me some chambray. Is there a more versatile fabric? It goes with everything. Now I get to wear it in skirt form as well, thanks to a mega-sale at Gap.

Details

Shirt: Old Navy

Skirt: Gap

Shoes: American Eagle Outfitters

Sunnies: Coach

Necklace: Tiffany & Co

I wore this for a community BBQ we had at R's clinic. The day was hot, but this outfit was pretty airy. I've had a big craving to buy lots of stripes lately, but I try to remember how many stripes already live in my closet. What are your summer clothing cravings?

White and Stripes

Some days necessitate wearing something classic and safe. Like the day you try on your wedding dress!

Details

Shirt: Old Navy (recent)

Jeans: Joe Fresh (recent)

Shoes: Cole Haan

Necklace and bracelets: Stella & Dot

I was quite proud of myself for drinking red wine while wearing these jeans and not spilling a drop!

Have a great week, and be sure to check back in two days for another Wedding Wednesday post.

Dockside

R and I had a great long weekend! We hung out with friends at two gorgeous lakes in rural Nova Scotia. The first lake is shown here - Canada Lake close to New Germany.

Details

Shirt: Mavi

Tank and belt: Gap

Sandals and jeans: American Eagle Outfitters

Necklace: Tiffany and Co.

Earrings: What on Earth

Excuse the hair... a day in the sun and breeze makes for a bit of a puffy situation. Trust me, it looked even worse when we got back from speed boating! Ribs, potato salad and a campfire rounded out the day. R and I got a little lost trying to navigate back to Halifax. What did we do before smartphones with Google Maps?

R and I once got really lost when we first started dating -  his GPS sent us on woods roads in New Brunswick where there was no phone reception. The places we were driving were really only fit for all terrain vehicles. His poor Honda! It always makes us laugh when we talk about it though!

Have you ever been truly lost?

Style Crush via Pinterest

I've been lazy when it comes to my pinning lately. When I learned that longdistanceloving was doing a link-up for a style crush, I typed "Converse" into Pinterest and voila - tons of cute looks. The only thing with Pinterest is it's hard to accurately credit the photo.

Beautiful photo... sorry I couldn't properly credit it.

I love the simplicity of the stripes, the denim, and of course the classic Converse. These shoes are still a contender for my wedding day.

Details

Top: Old Navy

Shorts: Makers of the Originals

Shoes: Converse

Sunglasses: Coach

Necklace: Forever 21

Earrings: What on Earth

This gorgeous view is from Luckett Vineyards in Gaspereau Valley, Nova Scotia.

Have you come across any outfits worthy of a copy lately? Have a wonderful July weekend everyone! See you next week!

Wild Card

I do believe this might be the first time I've thought to pair coral and red together, but I think I like it!

Details

Cardigan: Old Navy

Shirt: Joe Fresh

Jeans: Aeropostale

Shoes: Miz Mooz

Bracelets: Forever 21 and gift

Do you have any favorite wild card color pairings? I also love mixed metallics and blue with orange.

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!

Details

Blazer and black tank: Suzy Shier (Halifax)

Jeans: Joe's Jeans (Value Village, Halifax)

Shirt: Tommy Hilfiger (Gift)

Shoes: DV by Dolce Vita (Macys, San Francisco)

Belt: Levis (Halifax)

Necklace: Forever 21 (LA)

 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.

Oh Summer, Where Art Thou?

This rain in Halifax is starting to bug me. It's JUNE and I really don't want to be wearing cardigans and boots.

Details:

Cardigan: Gap Factory Outet (Las Vegas)

Shirt: Joe Fresh (Vancouver)

Jeans: Guess by Marciano (Vancouver)

Boots: Call it Spring (Halifax)

Bracelet: gift

Necklace: Forever 21 (LA)

I used to be all about the fun socks, but I sort of replaced them with boring grown-up socks. Not that I should be wearing socks in JUNE anyway, right?

A whole week of mostly gloomy skies dictated some new ta-da for my tootsies.

TA-DA!!! Socks from Forever 21.

Soon, I'm going to give in to the Pinterest craze. I'll let y'all know when I finally start pinning. I've been snooping around and could spend about a year looking at all the amazing nailpolish ideas people have pinned. What's your favorite thing to look at on Pinterest?

XOXO
