Mukluks
Thursday, March 06, 2014
Since winter seems to last forever around here a cute pair of warm winter boots is a must have for me. I know most people think winter boots are just to keep their feet warm so they don't care what they look like. Well why not have boots that are warm and gorgeous all at the same time! While looking for a pair of boots that spoke to me and my fun style I came across Julie Pedersen and her beautiful boots which to my surprise are made in my own city of Winnipeg! Her boot designs are so specials and I just had to meet her and have her design me a pair of her Mukluks or as she calls them Muckies. I knew I wanted them to be a fun color and hot pink was what I decided on. Julie helped me work out the rest of the details and they came out even more gorgeous then I imagined them to be. She makes all her boots by hand so they are all one of a kind and beautiful works of art! Please check out her site and see for yourself at Julie Pedersen, I know you will want a pair! I have been wearing my boots with everything when I go outside, who knew hot pink would go with so much!
How are you keeping warm this winter?

Vegas Vacation
Saturday, March 01, 2014
I am guessing from the photos below you see that these pictures were not taken in Winnipeg! I was so happy to have had a little break from the cold and visited sunny Las Vegas! This fantastic trip was taken with my entire family which included my mom, dad, sister, her husband and my husband and we got to do so many activities! Everybody got to do something fun whether it was going to the top of the Eiffel Tower and watching the water show below at The Bellagio or riding the rides at the top of the Stratosphere or even a gondola ride at the Venetian Hotel. There was a few wonderful highlights and one was attending an afternoon tea at one of the new hotels the Mandarin Oriental with my mom and sister. There were so many little delicious treats and the tea was delightful. Of course I wore a hat to my posh afternoon tea event.
These pictures below were taken at Pahrump Winery. We all took a limo tour there and it was fantastic. It is a one hour drive there which seemed like no time sitting in a limo. Once there we had a delicious gourmet lunch, a tour of the facility and then of course some wine tasting.
One thing I always like to do while packing for a trip is to make sure all my clothing goes together for mixing and matching. I usually want to pack my whole closet but it all just won't fit in the luggage! :) This trip I decided that I wanted to wear this beautiful bright blue. I think that different shades of pink, orange and yellow accent it perfectly so I packed various pieces in these shades. Taking a few pieces of jewelry is important too and so I decided to take my bangles from dconstruct to add some color. Wearing their pieces when going to the airport is a smart idea as they use eco-friendly materials to make their jewelry which means they don't set off the metal detectors!
Well that sums up my wonderful week and I hope yours was awesome too!

Bright and Bold
Saturday, February 22, 2014
Sorry for the long absence! I was away on holidays in Las Vegas and the days there were so jam packed with fun activities that I didn't have a chance to post. I will be posting an outfit from my amazing trip really soon!
I can honestly say that this winter feels like the longest and worst ever. The temperature has been so cold everyday and if the isn't like minus a million then it is snowing and blowing like crazy! Taking my blog photos outside this winter has been quite the challenge! I know most people are feeling the same way I am about the weather! I am so looking forward to spring but that is quite some time away from now, Sigh! So to battle this cold snowy weather a beautiful warm coat is a must for me! The oversized coat trend is one that I have been loving for awhile but finding the right one for me was difficult. So many of them looked frumpy and just plain sloppy on my petite frame but this lime green one was love at first sight for me. This coat was just right as the color and the fit were perfect! I say if you have to wear a coat then it should be one that makes you look feel great! Stay warm everyone!

Cozy Winter
Tuesday, February 11, 2014
In the winter most people tend to wear darker colors and I am sure you have noticed that I am the complete opposite of that! Usually when I am shopping in the winter and I see something really cute I find that it only comes in black and I wish it came in a fun color. I was so excited when I saw this adorable purple faux fur bolero that was part of the L'Wren Scott collection from Banana Republic. The price was a little high at full price but I waited paitently, checking the price all the time and hoped it would go on sale! Finally it became mine and I did a little happy dance as it was more than 50% off! I love that it is a cropped length making it fit my petite frame wonderfully. Adding a little faux fur to any outfit in the colder weather is a great way to stay warm and chic!
You know my outfit is never complete without a cute little handbag and my Painter's Palette Bag from Mary Frances is perfect!

Classic Combination
Wednesday, January 29, 2014
I have been dying to wear this beautiful black and white striped skirt ever since the moment I bought it a few months back. As soon as I saw it I was picturing all the great outfits I could create, but once I actually started styling it nothing seemed to work quite right for me. Most times my outfits are quite extravagant and so I decided to make this one just a little simpler (well simpler for me anyway!) by adding just a red knit turtleneck. Wearing black, white and red is such a classic combination and I knew it would be be perfect!
For the second part of my Vedette Shapewear challenge every month I have to wear my shapewear as an innerwear piece and show how it works under an outfit. I chose to wear the Ines bodysuit (click here to see the Ines) as my innerwear piece this month. This bodysuit is a fantastic shaping piece and my favorite part about it is that it is completely seamless underneath a thin knit turtleneck. I usually have the bumps from my bra straps that show through my clothing. Sometimes that can totally ruin an outfit but with this piece there is no bumps, only a completely smooth finish. This bodysuit is so simple and sweet that it could definitely be worn as a top too!
