We All Scream For Ice Cream
Wednesday, December 04, 2013
What do you do when you buy ice cream shoes but have no hair accessory to match? Well if you were me you would make a fascinator to match the shoes!
I completly fell in love with these Karl Lagerfeld for Melissa ice cream heeled shoes and I needed them in my life desperately! I mean really, Ice Cream shoes how fun and unique are they?! They really suit me perfectly! Another cool thing about them is that they actually smell sweet making me want to take a bite out of them! LOL! I wanted to wear them to a party but when I was planning the outfit I was sad as all of my hats just were not what I wanted so I decided to make this cute hat. I think it is a perfect match to my cute shoes, don't you?
Now onto my 12 months of Vedette Shapewear challenge! For my second piece of this month I am reviewing the Emilie (see the Emilie here). I thought the Emilie was perfect as I was wearing a little black dress and I wanted to look perfectly smooth and I didn't want to have any underwear lines showing. My favorite shapewear pieces are the ones with the built in bra so this one is fantastic for me and it will also be wonderful to wear under so many of my other little dresses! I really liked that this piece shapes all the way down my thighs making it great for under pants too!

Bright Beginnings - Vedette Giveaway
Wednesday, November 27, 2013
As you can see from my photos I am back in Winnipeg and it is awfully cold with all the snow that has recently fallen. Winter is here to stay for awhile but I am trying to not let that get me down. The hours of sunlight during the day are very short now and it can be hard to stay positive so wearing bright colors in the winter help brings up my mood. I know this outfit may be a lot of color for most people to wear but just try adding as much color as you feel comfortable with and you will feel great! I purchased these fun printed tights while I was in Scotland and I couldn't wait to wear them. I knew I couldn't resist bringing out all the colors of them by matching them to my outfit!
It has been a little while but I am continuing on with my 12 Month of Vedette Shapewear Challenge and I am now starting my 10th month. This time around I am styling a bodysuit called the Yvonne (see the Yvonne here) into my outfit. What I like most about this bodysuit is that it has a hook and eye front closure and a zipper closure over that. I think the zippered front gives it a unique look and it makes it easy to put on and take off. The body suit is made of a really soft fabric so it is hard to believe that it is shapewear but it does hold everything firmly in place while giving shape to your bust. I like that this piece gives nice coverage so I can easily wear it as a layering piece under my blazers or jackets.

City Streets of Edinburgh
Friday, November 15, 2013
My two week trip to Scotland had been so wonderful! We got to explore some new places and see some awesome things! Staying at a castle in the countryside for one of our weeks in Scotland was so neat. There are definitely no castles in Winnipeg so that was something quite special. The last few days before leaving Scotland we spent exploring the capital city, Edinburgh. I loved the beautiful buildings and history of the downtown area. The busy streets were packed full of local people and tourists. I of course decided to tour the city in style and in color. When I packed for this trip I chose to take only colors that mixed well with each other. I stuck with the main colors of wine, pink, grey and black which included all of my clothing, accessories and shoes. In my last blog post I told you that I decided to only bring one coat with me and I chose a gorgeous wine colored leather trench. Keeping with that same color theme I packed this adorable color blocked moto jacket in wine with pink and it was perfect for a day out on the city streets. Do you like to pack with a color theme too?

Scotland
Wednesday, November 06, 2013
I am guessing from my outfit pictures below that you can see I am not in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada anymore! There would never be any mountains like these around. It is pretty much as flat as the eye can see in Winnipeg!
These beautiful pictures were taken in Scotland as we are here on a trip right now. Scotland is a place that my husband and I really wanted to visit in our life. There is no direct flight from Winnipeg so we had to catch a few connection flights and about 19 hours later we were here. The time difference is 6 hours ahead and driving on the other side of the road is a little scary! :) Other than getting used to those two things it is fantastic and the weather is almost the same as back at home right now.
Packing for me is always difficult as I want to take my entire closet with me but that is just unrealistic! I decided to bring only one coat with me as coats are bulky to pack and so I chose this beautiful leather trench coat. It has been perfect to layer over my outfits to keep me warm and the best part is the sleeves zip off completely so I can choose to wear it as a coat, a dress or a vest! How cool is that?
We took a beautiful drive along the same highway that some of the scenes from the last James Bond movie 'Skyfall' were filmed and it was breathtaking so I stopped for some outfit photos. With a background like this who could resist!
We are having a wonderful time seeing and exploring new places. I am excited to be taking a trip up to Loch Ness this week. Maybe I'll even get to see "Nessie" :)

Jewel Toned Fall
Tuesday, October 29, 2013
Mixing colors and experimenting with new color combinations is always something that I enjoy. When I put on a colorful outfit I think it makes even a gloomy cloudy day a brighter one. Jewel colors are always a huge trend every fall. I mean who doesn't love colors that are inspired by gemstones! The rich saturated colors make even the most simple pieces stand out. This jacket that I am wearing came in two color choices, one being black and the other in this beautiful purple. You all know me and of course I chose the purple. This classic cropped jacket is brought to life with some color. Try adding some jewel colors to your closet this fall!
