Black Friday Fashion

Happy day-after-Thanksgiving to all my American readers! I hope you're all stuffed, content, and getting some amazing deals in the stores.

Canada has joined in with the Black Friday sales (to try to keep the dollars on this side of the border). They are happening all weekend for the most part, and I plan on doing some Christmas shopping with my mom.

Details:

Cardigan: Kensie (Margolians, Truro)

Shirt: Forever 21 (San Francisco)

Jeans: Calvin Klein (Costco, Halifax)

Boots: Call it Spring (Halifax)

Bag: H&M (Halifax)

Necklace: (American Eagle Outfitters, Halifax)

Earrings: Gift

Bracelets: Macy's (San Francisco)

Isn't my bag quirky? I had a strange attraction to it when I saw it at H&M and the attraction grew stronger when I saw the $10 red sticker on it. It has room for lots of things, and it can convert to a crossbody.

I'm linking with longdistanceloving today, so the fact that I'm wearing this shade is no coincidence. She asked us to put together a black outfit for Black Friday. I can't wait to see what the other bloggers come up with!

Please gloat to me about your deals! I love hearing about all the shopping fun!

So You Like Owls?

Owls, sparrows, and birds of all sorts have been making an appearance in my wardrobe over the past few seasons.

Details:

Vest: Zara Kids (San Francisco)

Sweater and hat: Smart Set (Halifax)

Tank: Zara (NYC)

Cords: MOTO (Margolians, Truro)

Owl necklace: Forever 21 (South Portland)

Bird necklace: American Eagle Outfitters (Halifax)

Shoes: Miz Mooz (Town Shoes, Toronto)

Bracelets: Macy's (San Francisco)

Why the owls? I'm not sure... I had a scary owl encounter once. I was driving with my friend Jen to my other friend Jen's wedding (yes, three Jens), when a huge owl swooped down from the sky and flew about a foot in front of my windshield. I'm pretty sure he was big enough to crash right through the glass of my brand new car had we hit him. We were stunned speechless for a few minutes, but no owls were harmed that day.

Other animals I'm drawn to are alpacas, giraffes, kangaroos, dogs with squished faces (especially french bulldogs and pugs), and potbellied pigs. Perhaps I owned a zoo in a former life.

We Scared the Scarecrows

What happens when you're a little late (ok... a few weeks late) for a scarecrow festival?

You see no scarecrows.

 

Details:

Vest: Zara Kids (San Francisco)

Shirt: Gap (Halifax)

Jeans: Guess (Moments, Truro)

Boots: Gap Factory (Halifax)

Hat: Joe Fresh Kids (Halifax)

Bag: Danier: (Halifax)

Sunnies: D&G (Sunglass Hut, Dartmouth)

Necklace: American Eagle Outfitters (Halifax)

Bracelets: Forever 21, The Black Market, Macy's

The lack of scarecrows didn't stop me and my friends from having a great time in Mahone Bay, a sweet little town on the south shore of Nova Scotia. We had lunch, wandered through some lovely shops, and then had delicious hot drinks at The Tea Brewery (yummy chai latte).

In the spirit of Halloween, I attempted a candy corn sponge manicure. When I finished, I discovered I reversed the proper order of orange and yellow. Oops.

Hope everyone has a safe and spooky Halloween!
