[OUTFIT] Hippy Maxi

We'd had this dress for such a long time in store, but I always thought it looked very meh on the hanger. I'd stumbled upon it online and thought it looked really neat on the model. Luckily, it was on sale, plus it was a 50% off sale items weekend. It's really a completely different silhouette and look for me, but I'm really enjoying it......(note to self: get to the gyyyymmm!!!)

[FASHION] Another Wish List...

I think I'm constantly making wish lists of things I wish I could have. All online retailers are constantly updating their selection. If only we could have all the money in the world, right? Anyway, I thought I'd share some of my finds that are drool worthy. The middle top from Free People in the last photo I have in the stripe, and I absolutely adore it! I'd really love to get the one in coral as well.

[OUTFIT] Sammie the Samich Cat

After eating breakfast this morning, my future roommate and I decided to take a trip to good old VV boutique. To our surprise, it was a 50% off sale! The store was pretty crowded and we weren't really up for nitpicking around. We somehow quickly found these pieces and just went with it without trying them on. Luckily, they fit! More or less...but we still find them pretty fun! We then went to the Salvation Army where we found the perfect addition for our kitchen. We're very excited about it! Scroll down to the bottom of the post to see what it is.

[ETC] My (Rather Expensive) Birthday Wishlist


I know I'm being very ambitious with these items, but a girl can dream right? My birthday is coming up in a month and a bit (May 26th!) and if I had money to afford all of these, I would totally splurge. Yes it's a lot of black, but honestly I don't own THAT much black. Of course, I would accessories these with some more colourful outfits.

First, is the Rebecca Minkoff M.A.C. Clutch. Unfortunately, after 3 years of having my Marc by Marc Jacobs purse, it's really starting to fall apart. It's also absolutely filthy on the inside and I've tried having it cleaned, but no one wants to take the risk of damaging it. I like having my every day bag to be simple enough in style, but roomy enough that I can fit my essentials. I'd definitely go for the silver hardware, as 99% of the jewellery I wear is silver. Next are the classic Ray Ban Wayfarer in black. After having mine for almost 6 years I got in a little bike accident and they snapped right at the bridge of the nose. It was weird how devastated I was for an inanimate object. Finally we have the Deetz sandal by Jeffrey Campbell! These aren't so much to replace anything, I just think they're really neat. I've been wanting some Jeffrey Campbell's for a long time, but never really liked any of the pairs that would be somewhat practical for me. Then I saw Bunny wearing them in her JC collection video, and fell in love! Maybe these will be my birthday present to myself? We'll see...

[FASHION] First Fashion Friday at UO

I work at Urban Outfitters Ottawa you see (come visit me! I'd love to say hello!) and now it is mandatory that we have a "Fashion Friday" every Friday. We're given a sort of theme to go by, and we show our own version of it, by trying it on! I felt like sharing this with you because we had a lot of fun doing it...and our outfits were pretty gosh darn rad.





Yes....all the clothes are from Urban Outfitters.
