Stretchy Comfy Awesome

Meet my stretchy comfy awesome jeans! No matter how comfy the jeans were, the windchill was extreme on the day I took these photos and I was incredibly cold!

Details

Jeans: Cambio via Foreign Affair

Sweatshirt: Smart Set

Jacket: Danier

Sneakers: Converse

Snood: H&M

Sunnies: Gap Factory Store

Necklace: Gift

All I could concentrate on was trying not to scowl! I meant to get close-ups of the sweet necklace my BFF sent me for my birthday, but I couldn't stand the wind any longer! I'll be sure to get a better shot of it soon.

These jeans are a really interesting wash - black and grey and a touch of shimmer to them. Quite unique! They'll be replacing my old grey skinnies which I wore a lot. Seriously, if you don't own grey jeans, you should. They go with so much and are a great way to step out of the box (i.e blue and black) without getting too bold.

I wore this out to lunch with my friend who also happened to have a day off work during Halifax Burger Week. I didn't have as many burgers as I hoped to try, but the two I did try were amazing. I had ones from Relish and Flipburger, and they were so delicious.

Curse of the White

I love white clothing. Even though I'm as pale as a ghost and it very easily washes me out if I'm not careful, I gravitate towards white pieces. Do you know what else gravitates towards white? Mustard, black tea, marinara sauce, and salsa. Just a few of the things I've dropped on white clothing in my life.

 Details

Sweater: Club Monaco

Jeans: Target

Tank: Smart Set

Boots: Aldo

Necklace and Bracelet: Stella & Dot

Earrings: Joe Fresh

Nails: Maybelline Color Show in Styled Out

On a happy white note, I have finally found a perfect white button-up shirt after literally years of searching. I happily paid full price for it, and I rarely happily pay full price for anything! I'll blog about it soon.

Have a fabulous weekend!

Sarah Stevenson for Target

One of my absolute favorite things to do fashion-wise is to anticipate and shop a Target designer collaboration. Sarah Stevenson for Target is the third collaboration that has happened since Target opened in Halifax. I was late to find out about this one - I think I heard about it in late February. 

Sarah Stevenson is a Canadian designer (yay!)  who won the Emerging Talent Award last year, and with it, the opportunity to partner with Target. There are 15 pieces in the collection and no piece is over $60.

My goal was to take my camera to Target and get some photos of the display, but at 8:00 AM on a Sunday, I was lucky to remember to wear shoes going out the door. I had the racks to myself that early in the morning. Halifax seems to not care that much about Target collabs - better choices for me! As with the Peter Pilotto collection in February, 

The pieces were so pretty, butI didn't come away with the Sarah Stevenson piece I was most hopeful for - the black pants second from the left below.

I admittedly have a difficult time with most elasticized pants as I have a really really long waist and they won't stay put. I think if I want to have any luck with a pair of relaxed pants this spring, I'll have to find ones that have a button closure or really strong elastic.

I actually liked the floral pants better than the black ones - I have a very similar patterned pair from H&M. The blazer was stunning, but if I buy another blazer my closet will auto-eject it (so.many.blazers.)

What I did come away with was this lovely solid/printed dress. I can already picture so many ways to style it (with a red cardigan, my white leather coat, a jean jacket, and my 3.1 Phillip Lim for Target navy blazer to name a few).

One thing that has stopped me from going insane at the last few Target collaborations is that they are SO fast at marking down the pieces. The Peter Pilotto stuff was marked down less than a month after the launch, which was before I even wore the piece I bought (I'm into delayed gratification when it comes to clothes). There is a pretty white tunic from this collection that I may keep my eye on since it would be too summery to wear yet anyway.

Congrats Sarah on a lovely collaboration!

Tuesday Treasures: Nail Polish Fit for a Bride

This week on Tuesday Treasures, I'd like some wedding advice! It will be very hard for me not to do something bold on my nails for my wedding, as I'm not a neutral nails girl by nature. However, I don't want to be looking at photos 25 years from now and questioning my choice of nail art. I think I'd better stick to classic on this one.

Pick your treasure! What's your favorite neutral wedding-appropriate nail color? Brides of the past, I want to know what YOU wore on your big day!

My pick: OPI Glints of Glinda from the Oz the Great and Powerful collection.

I love this as much as I can love a neutral polish, but I know myself, and I know I'm going to want something new for the wedding. There are a few shades in the new OPI Muppet Collection that look promising - I Love Applause and Chillin' Like a Villain.

XOXO
