Lo and Behold

Sad as it is, this seems to be my go-to outfit this summer. We really haven't had much of a summer this year in Calgary. I was super excited about finding this bag, I cannot even begin to explain. One of my favourite fashion bloggers Angelica Blick had this handbag in one of her posts and I just had to have it. I called my local Zara to find out if they had any in stock, and when she said they did not, I was disappointed but decided to purchase it online. When I got to the website I discovered that it was all sold out. I was a little discouraged but did not give up hope, and I decided to continue my hunt for the bag when I went to Paris. My poor parents were dragged along to Zaras all over Paris as I scoured the racks in search of this bag. Finally I gave up and decided that my dreams of owning this handbag were no longer feasible. Then yesterday, I was out shopping with my boyfriend and we decided to go into Zara. We were walking around when lo and behold there was the handbag! In a pile of other black handbags on the floor! Even better, it was on sale for $39.99. Needless to say, I immediately bought it, and here it is in my outfit post. So if you want one for yourself, you may need to embark on some crazy journey like I did, or pay double the price for one on ebay...

 I apologize if that was entirely pointless, or boring.  I guess I just really, really wanted the bag...

Happy Tuesday!

I was so busy and we had a very limited time in France so I only managed to make one outfit post while I was there. These photos were taken in the gardens of Chateau Versailles where Marie Antoinette once lived. I don't know all that much about French history to be honest but I am a huge fan of Sophia Coppola's film on Maria Antoinette so it was exciting to be there and to walk around on the grounds.

Happy Tuesday!

France

 

Sorry for my recent absence from the blogosphere. I have been doing a bit a travelling. As you might have guessed from the above photo, I was in France. I will be doing more posts about my trip soon I promise! Stay tuned for more from my Paris trip!

I love you to the moon and back.

Sorry I haven't blogged for a couple of days I have been fairly busy. One of my best friends in the whole world was in town and I wanted to spend as much time with her as possible while she was here. As some of you might be able to tell from the photos, I am from Calgary. It is a great city and the recent flood disaster made me really proud to be a Calgarian when I saw just how many people were willing to step in and lend each other a hand in times of great need. Because my house was not personally effected by the flood it's easy to forget about the great need that still exists amongst my fellow neighbours. Today I went down to the river by the Peace Bridge with my boyfriend and seeing just how high the river still is, how fast and dirty it still is, was a good reminder that there are still people out there needing help.

Tata for now!

Thunder Storm.

There is a huge thunder storm going on outside. My poor little dog is so afraid he is currently hiding under the couch (you can see him in these pictures hiding to the left of the couch.) Though I was originally planning on heading out to the stampede I think that I'm just going to cozy up on the couch, drink tea and watch Game of Thrones.

Yes I am wearing all black yet again. It's the only way to go really. Today I had lunch with my mom and did some grocery shopping. Now I am off to an opening at Globe Cinema called INTO THE WOODS.

Tata for now!

All Black Everything

Dress- Sirens, Sweater-H&M, Sunglasses- Little Burgundy, Watch- Daniel Wellington, Bracelet- Thomas Sabo

Even in the summer I still love to wear all black. There is something so empowering about being completely in black. I feel like a femme fatale when I'm wearing all black.  I love wearing all black and playing around with textures to make the look more interesting. Wow, how many times can I say the word "black?"

Today was a pretty uneventful day, I went to work from nine to five then I went and picked my dad up from the airport. Now I'm off to read some game of thrones and have a bubble bath.
