Textures

Sweater- Springsioux, Skirt- Sirens, Shoes- Arnold Churgin, Bag-Arnold Churgin, Sunglasses- Little Burgundy

I love this outfit a lot more now that I see it in pictures. I love all black with a mix of textures! I don't normally wear skirts this short but the long portion helps me feel like it's not too revealing. The sweater I purchased last month while I was in Paris from an absolutely wonderful shop called Springsioux. All of their clothing is absolutely stunning and the quality is outstanding. If you ever find yourself shopping in Paris do make a stop over there, the staff are so friendly and helpful and the merchandise is so beautiful. I honestly cannot say enough good things about Springsioux. 

The  handbag was a wonderful rediscovery for me. I had purchased it two years ago when I first started working for Arnold Churgin, it was the very first purchase I made there and it's absolutely beautiful. It's not super trendy so even though I bought it two years ago I still love it. Don't you love when you rediscover old things in your closet that you completely forgot about?

Happy Monday!

On Hand.

I have a hard time coming to terms with colour so I never wear nail polish. I am currently hunting for the perfect nude, maybe YSL's BEIGE GALLERY from their fall 13 collection?

 Anyways, this is what my hands look like lately. All of my rings are sterling silver and have slowly been collected over time, each of my rings and bracelets are sentimental and special to me in some way. When I was young and dancing whenever I won a championship for highland dancing I would buy a ring to remember it, therefore, from a really young age I became accustomed to wearing a lot of rings. I even learned how to tell my left from my right by wearing a ring on my right hand at the age of 6 or 7.  I've never been one to buy a ton of jewellery and switch it out constantly. When I like a piece of jewelry I wear it 24/7 until it breaks or I grow absolutely sick of it. Some people like to switch their jewelry daily and others like to wear theirs everyday 24/7 like me.

What's your relationship with jewelry like? Do you wear the same one pieces everyday or do you like to switch it up?

Happy Friday!

Gray Scale

 It's waaayy too hot in Calgary right now to be wearing this outfit, but I was so in love with this cape that I just couldn't wait to wear it... I found this at the least likely store ever. I saw it in the window display at Bellissima while I was walking around the mall on my lunch break and I just had to have it. It's gray on one side and it's black on the inside and the material is so soft it's to die for.

I hope your day is going well!

-Happy Friday!

This Happened

Sweater- Vince, Tank top- vintage, Shoes- Arnold Churgin, Sunglasses- Little Burgundy

These photos maybe don't really showcase my outfit all that well, but I am  absolutely loving the wall that they were shot in front of. If you get a chance you should check out XYZ's instagram @itsXYZ he is one of the artists who painted this wall. I get paid tomorrow and I will hopefully be doing a little shopping soon so there will be more outfit posts to come!

Happy Wednesday!

Life Lately.

Sorry for being a terrible blogger lately. I have been working pretty much every single day and it's been quite difficult  to find time to take photos and make a blog post. Here are some photos from Saturday. I finally got the guts to go and get the tattoo that I had been wanting to get for a long time now. Most of my other tattoos don't have very deep meanings, but this one is very special to me so I absolutely love it. 

I took more photos on Saturday so stay tuned for more!

Happy Tuesday!

Kimono

 

I purchased this kimono today and I plan on wearing it out to my friend's birthday party tonight! I saw it yesterday in Kensington at Trends (a vintage/consignment store) but didn't actually end up buying it, so  today I spent the entire time at work wishing I had bought it and hoping to goodness that it would still be there when my shift was over. The universe was good to me and when I finally made my way down to Trends today, I was lucky enough that it was still there. I had better hurry up and get going now though!

Happy Saturday!

Trash Talk

 

Boots- Forever 21, Sweater- American Apparel, Shorts- Vintage Levi's, Watch- Daniel Wellington

I only had a few minutes to take pictures for this outfit post today so I had to be quick and find a close and convenient spot to take some photos so -garbage can it is!  I seem to be perpetually cold so it rarely gets warm enough here in Calgary for me to wear an outfit like this so any chance I get I like to wear my vintage Levi shorts. They are so worn out and have a rather large hole in the crotch, but I still refuse to get rid of them. They are honestly my only jean-like bottoms that I own, so how could I get rid of them? 

Today I had a really great day, I went down to kensington with my dad and we had burgers, then I went to see a psychic. It was my first time seeing one and it was actually quite a wonderful experience. 

Anyways, I hope you're having a great day!

P.S. Please excuse the squinty eyes, it was sunset and I was pretty much looking directly into the sun...

Happy Friday!
