{Style} Birthday Dress...

I bought this dress last week with my birthday in mind, only plans change, and I didn't actually wear it in the end. Regardless of this � oh let's go ahead and call it "minor" � detail, this dress shall forever be known as "the birthday dress" in my mind and in my heart... Sniff sniff.

Thanks for all the birthday love here and through my platforms yesterday � I definitely appreciate all the love and well wishes! You guys are the bestest... xx

{Style} Not With a Fizzle But With a Bang...

Fun facts: 1. The guest star/grounding element of this outfit is a five-year-old denim jacket that I long had written off, and 2. I have a major stye situation happening right now. Luckily for me you can't really tell that my jacket is old enough for kindergarten OR that my left eyelid is swollen to nearly double its size, so let's go ahead and chalk this post up as a huge success... God bless bangs and good lighting, am I right?

{Glitter Week} The Clutch...

Well I guess this is it, friends... Another theme week has come and gone, but not before I show you  my favourite glittery item of them all � my Kate Spade clutch. I bought it last year (some of you might recall this ancient Wardrobe Wednesday post) and have loved it as much as I've worn it... A lot. It's just such a fun, festive piece that I can't help but come back to time and time again. Hey, once you go glitter, you never go back.

Thanks for following along with this theme week, I hope you guys enjoyed it... Happy weekending! xx

{Christmas Week} Seeing Red...

I don't know what it is about this time of year, but I always seem to revert back to eight-year-old Vickie in both mind and dress. Alarming maybe, but let's just chalk it up to the holiday season. Take this outfit for instance; I'm pretty sure I look like a kid who's watched too much Madeline, am I right? The barrett and school girl-inspired gettup aren't helping matters, but what can I say, these things happen. Now all I need is hot cocoa and day 19 of my chocolate advent calendar, and I'm good to go.

PS- Notice the atypical laughing photo at the end? That's because some random dude decided to photo-bomb me... How could I not include that?

{Style} Dressing Up With Lulus.com...

Sometimes a girl just needs a little sparkle, especially where dresses are concerned. Luckily for me, Lulus.com had just the thing to get me in the mood for some holiday cheer (never too early), as well as date night with my mister... Win-win.

I instantly fell in love with its sparkly, deco-ish print and fit, and can't wait to Christmas-party-it-up in this bad boy... Or at least gorge myself on cookies and eggnog while it hangs nearby, reminding me that despite my temporary bout of gluttony, I am, in fact, still a lady... Most of the time.

{Style} Remixing With Lulus.com

Are there any outfit-remixers in the house today? Yeah, that's what I thought... We all do it, because at the end of the day, why wouldn't you want to get the most out of your wardrobe as humanly possible? It just makes good cents. That's why when Lulus.com sent me this adorable cross dress, I thought it would be fun to style it three ways instead of just one.... More bang for your buck, if you will.

From dressy to casual � heck, or even transformed into a top � this dress proved to be incredibly versatile and chameleon-esque... So basically an avid remixer's dream.

This is what I was able to do with my dress in a short period of time, but here's your chance to show me up� So tell me, how would YOU style it, lovelies? I wanna know!

{Style} The Many Shades of Brown...

Sometimes a girl just wants to throw caution to the wind and drape herself in deep, delicious shades of brown... Be it a nod to a new season or a departure from more commonly worn colours, brown is super stylin', especially when channeling that mom-meets-grannie-chic vibe we all know and love. Unfortunately the only anecdotal proof I have of this comes from myself, but hey, I'm as good a source as any right? Just smile and nod my friends, smile and nod...

Oh and in other news, I just realized that maybe I shouldn't write posts when I'm completely and utterly sleep deprived... Note to self.

Happy Tuesday, lovelies! xx

Pretty Pastels...

Today's outfit is brought to you by H&M, that wonderful neighbourhood mass retailer who always knows what I need... And in this case, what I needed happened to be a mint green dress. The moment I saw it I just knew it had to be mine, and couldn't wait to pair it with this blazer that I bought there last year... Can you say pastel heaven? Sigh.

Happy Tuesday, love bugs! xx

When AiF Met Lulus.com...

You know when you see a print, and it's like animal magnetism or something � you know, that feeling of just having to have it? Well that's what happened when I saw this dress on Lulus.com. I'm a navajo-print nut, and the colour scheme of this dress just made my heart go pitter-patter (yes, clothing does has that effect on me!). Well luckily for me, the good people at LuLu's were nice enough to send it my way, along with another adorable dress that I can't wait to show you... Let's just say it may or may not involve polka dots ;)

A big thank you to Lulus.com for this amazing dress, and if you should feel the online-shopping itch, use the promo code "ADVENTURES" (it's case sensitive, so be sure to use all caps!) at checkout to score 15% off your purchase... Not too shabby, huh?*
