how to style bright running shoes


Outfit Details:
Skirt: Vintage, Chez Thrift, Bolton
Belt: Vintage, Bibles for Mission, London, ON
Shoes: Sport Chek
Glasses: Archies, London, ON
Jean vest: Thrifted, Chez Thrift
Necklace: Hattitude jewellery. See the item here

Here's my take on how to wear bright summer running shoes. 
How fun is this vintage polka dot skirt I picked up at the thrift store the other day? I could not even believe I scored it. A jean vest completes any summer look I feel. Boy has it been summer weather lately! I love these new bright summer runners I picked up. I'm headed to San Francisco in T minus 2 days so this will probably be the last posting for a week or two. I had to get some new shoes to wear kickin' around San Francisco. Comfort first! I'm getting SO excited. 

I'm having studio shopping hours tonight in Caledon, so if you are around and need a gift for Mother's day, stop by the studio for a one of a kind treasure to give your mama! 

I hope you are enjoying this lovely afternoon sun as much as the wild cats at my parents house are!

may is cystic fibrosis month

Outfit Details:
Shirt: Banana Republic, Gift
Pants: Vintage 
Belt: Vintage 
Loafers: Walking on a cloud
Jewelry: Hattitude hand made jewellery. Click here for shop

Today is the first day of May, which means it's the first month of Cystic Fibrosis awareness month. Click here to find out more about this deadly disease. 

Love love love this shirt my boyfriend bought me. The fabric is so soft against your skin and the pattern is out of this world. I love the bright colours. The boy has good taste! I always like to wear a high waisted pant and I happened across this perfect matching belt. Sometimes I go TOO matchy poo in my items. I hope this one wasn't too much for your tastes! 

Still working on getting my ankle fixed so I could only hobble up to my rooftop to take photos. Still a nice change of scenery. It was breathtakingly beautiful today. Very hot and sunny. I took out some San Francisco books today from the library. I head there next Thursday. Super excited. Do you have any suggestions for me to see while I'm in San Francisco?

a dance party. black and pink style

Outfit Details: 
Jewellery: Hattitude jewellery. Click here
Skirt: Girl Friday, Toronto
Shirt: Borrowed
Shoes: Thrifted

I love this DANCE PARTY shirt... which I just found out is not my shirt at all, but my brother's girlfriends shirt. I've found it in my laundry a few years ago and never knew where it came from! I love pink and black. Again there is something sweet about a little detail in your hair, a pink bow. The earrings are fun for summer too. They remind me of little cherries or strawberries. Lipstick is fun for spring. 

What a glorious day it was today! The sun was shining, it was t-shirt weather! Can you believe it? I did my first outfit post in MONTHS outside. It was so wonderful to have such a beautiful back drop to do photos. How do you like this sweet little garden around my apartment building? Pretty. I love Spring flowers. 

Don't forget if you're thinking of a gift for your mama for Mother's day 10% of Hattitude jewellery's sales go towards Cystic Fibrosis to help find a cure until the end of May 2013. Together we can make CF stand for Cure Found. 

Hope your weekend is going beautifully.

a sprained ankle

Outfit details: 
Tights: The bay
Dress: F21
Sweater: Winners
Belt: Thrifted

I threw this outfit on for a more relaxed comfy day. I think this outfit is still warm with the fleece tights to deal with the rain today and springy for when the sun came out. This weather is certainly tricky to dress for without changing your outfit twice a day once for the cold, once for the warmth. 

This sweater I have found really hard to pair with a lot of things. I rarely wear it, even though I like the pattern. I think it goes well with a jean dress. How would you style this cardigan? 

This necklace, I love! The sweet little heart is so cute. It's going to be perfect for the summer months. Love the nautical colours. I hand made this necklace using vintage brooches, beads and earrings as the pendants.

I've sprained my ankle pretty badly last night at our weekly sports league. We play all sorts of sports, every week it's a different sport and last night was Soccer. I HATE soccer. This sprained ankle just reconfirms that. Hobbling around on one foot has not been fun. Thankfully I have a very sweet boyfriend taking care of me.

Have a wonderful rest of the week. Stay Healthy.

a 50's house wife

Outfit Details:
Dress: F21
Necklace: Hattitude Jewelry
Scarf: vintage
Loafers: Vintage

I feel very much like a 50's house wife in this outfit. The Mad Men show really inspired a lot of my outfits last year. I truly love that era for clothing. This is a neat little nautical necklace coming to my online shop soon. Click Here.
It was EXTREMELY warm here in London, ON today, +25, but it was VERY windy so I couldn't take my tripod out to capture the great outdoors! 
Have a great rest of your week!

Ruby Sparks inspired outfit

This outfit was very Ruby Sparks inspired. She wears a royal blue dress with purple tights in one of the opening scenes. Have you seen Ruby Sparks? It's such a great film. So original and cute. I love the actors in it, and love that in real life they are dating! Did you like Ruby Sparks? I love quirky movies like that. Any other movie suggestions?

some springy coloured tights


Outfit Details:
Tights: F21
Leg Warmers: from Brazil, Gift
Dress: F21
Sweater: Vintage, The Sentimentalist 

I love these pink tights. Arn't they so fun, especially for Spring? But I REALLY like this sweater. It just seems so whimsical and sweet. I purchased it on the weekend at a vintage shop in London. It feels even better then it looks and the little details on the sides... sigh...you guys know how I love my little details. Sorry about the frizzy hair. It's been rainy on and off all day. 

Thankfully the sun started shining this afternoon again after some heavy rain this morning when I was out and about. Drenched, but it was nice because it was a warm rain. Getting caught in those rain storms are beautiful. Spring is here. There's something romantic about running through the teeming rain and not caring at all. 

How are your weeks going?
