What I Wore Today: Day 6

A typical Maritime day: Rain! Bleck! Not so much fun when you want to go out for a nice walk to pop into your favorite shops. But armed with my sturdy, plastic umbrella and wearing one of my most coveted outfits, I braved the weather and went for it. So today (despite the cold and wet weather) I put on my oh-so-pretty Club Monaco Blouse and Kenneth Cole Trench. For accessories I threw on the Stella & Dot Together Forever Necklace and Moraley Flower Stackable Bands… Rain be damned, at least I looked good!

What I Wore Today: Day 5

One of the most wonderful things about living in Halifax is being so close to the ocean; and while we don’t have a subway (or metro), we do have the Metro Ferry. I love it!! So relaxing and an amazing way to cross the harbour. So today’s look was taken while riding the ferry from Dartmouth to Halifax. I’m wearing my favorite Wilfred cardigan and my old Gap Pea Coat that’s a few sizes to big, but I can never seem to part with. Along with that, I’m wearing two of my Stella & Dot favorites: the Demi earrings in silver and my Monogram Charm Necklace (which by the way January Jones from Mad Men owns as well). A great seafaring look !

The best way to travel: The Metro Transit Ferry!

What I Wore Today: Day 4

So today’s outfit isn’t actually my own, but was a selection that we had made at the store for staff picture of the day. I liked it so much that I felt like sharing it here. The coat is an awesome Betsey Johnson checked trench, and the shoes are phenomenal Michael Kors grey Mary Janes. I do have one piece of Stella & Dot jewellery on (which you can barely see) and that is the Geneve Lace Ring in silver. Perfect!

What I Wore Today: Day 3

So this was actually what I wore on Friday; a little late, but better late than never ! It was busy at work that day, but I was feeling pretty good wearing one of my favorite Pink Martini sweaters. Along with that, I threw on a Stella & Dot Sanibel Pendant necklace, along with a pair of grey Delphie Stone Studs. The perfect combo! Plus with the Sanibel there is an added bonus, given that it can be worn in a number of ways. Wear it long, or use the accompanying S hook to wear it short. Also, each side has a different colored stone (one light, one dark) so it’s incredibly versatile!

Where Have I Been!?! …And What I wore today: Day 1

So I was looking at the date of my last post, and it was June the 1st, 2012! WTF?!?!?! What have I been doing? Where have I been? So recently, I started thinking that it’s time to get back in the game… time to buckle down and start blogging again!!! I’ve missed you all, so I’m back in the saddle!

So what have I been up too? Well, remember that consignment store that I wrote about last year (Crimson & Clover)? Well, I couldn’t help myself, but I started working there part time a few months ago… and I have to say …AMAZING! Oh the pieces you’ll find in my closet these days would blow your mind! DVF, vintage Valentino, Smythe, Mackage, Burberry, McQueen… the list goes on!!! And on top of that, I also have become a Stella & Dot Independent Stylist, and of course, I LOVE that too… Oh the jewels, I love the jewels!!!

So I’ve decided to do a little (hopefully daily) project to 1: keep me writing, and 2) show you the amazing clothing that I’ve accumulated and the incredible jewellery that I’m coveting (and selling).

So this is day one:

Today I wore my Olivia Bib Necklace, paired with an awesome blue and white printed YEST blouse. Love them both!

A Little Marc to Make Me Smile

And then it was June. Holy *bleep*! It’s been a lengthly absence from the blogging scene, but I’ve been less then motivated from the looooong, cold, crappy spring we’ve had here on the East Coast. But now it’s June! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping, and there’s a little something to brighten up my moody blues. I recently celebrated my (*cough*, *hack*, *I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit*) 32 birthday, so my darling husband and wonderful in-laws gave me a delightful gift. The gift of Marc Jacobs (in ankle boot form). So here they are. Enjoy!

Wanted: New Home for Kick Ass Boots

Posing with the Vogs and Dougie for the Fluevog "No, You're Weird" contest.

Well folks, I’ve finally decided to sell a pair of my Fluevogs… I know… so sad! It took A LOT of thought (over a year of contemplation), but on Saturday I handed them to the ladies of Crimson & Clover to find them a new forever home. I’m a little torn up seeing them go, but I’ve concluded that they deserve to be worn and enjoyed far more then they have been. In the past two years, I’ve had them on a total of six times, which is just not right! They’re absolutely gorgeous, comfortable and just plain badass!! Someone needs to LOVE these boots, take care of these boots, and wear the crap out of these boots. If you feel you are this special person, here are the details of how to make them yours:

Maker: John Fluevog

Line: Frontier Collection

Size: 10 (I range from a size 9 to 10, depending on the maker)

Original Price: $365.00 (plus tax)

Selling for: $250.00 (plus tax)

Where are they: Crimson & Clover, 1351 Birmingham Street, Halifax, Nova Scotia

Daily Obsession 1:8: Chloé

I’m completely in love with these two dresses from the Chloé Spring/Summer 2012 Collection. Each time I see a picture from the ad campaign, I stop and stare for a good five minutes or so. Absolutely stunning!
