Stop chasing shadows, just enjoy the ride

This outfit was really fun to wear! I like wearing my friend's leopard skirt. Want so bad!

The detachable leopard collar & the spike necklace are my favourite part!!

Look at how awesome the collar is up close! It's all furry and soft, too!!

Rode through the desert on a horse with no name

Sometimes I look through my folder with all my pictures, and I realize there's entire sets of photos I forgot to upload to my blog! Silly me.

I really like the combination of the skirt, vest, and belt. The vest is sometimes hard to coordinate!!

Designer feature: Yigal Azrouël

Today I would like to share with you some of my favourite designs from the mind of Yigal Azrouël, an NYC based fashion designer.

I love this item in particular for two reasons: One, it's lambskin, so it's built to last. Secondly, it's versatile! Not only is it a jacket, but the sleeves can be removed to create a vest, for a whole different feel and look! Whenever you can, purchase things that have more than one function--this way, you're always getting the best of both worlds!


Always with a modern freshness, Yigal's "Pastiche Scarf" draws my attention more than any other garment in his ready to wear collection currently. As if the opposite colours are not bold enough, the pattern itself steals your eye away! (I'd love to own this scarf!!)

He is is well known for his feminine designs, and simply stellar draping abilities! (Just look at how delicately this Cashmere Knit top lays, it's wonderful and girly, yet bold and modern!)

Yigal Azrouël garments come highly recommended by me, so check out his website if you get the chance, they're seriously stellar!!

The eagle & the feather

I love this charity shop coat, as always. Goodwill is awesome!

This is one of my favourite pictures Josh has taken of me, recently!

He also found me this awesome shirt! I love it!

Two of my best friends came to visit and stay at our house, so there was LOTS of going out and eating.

Delicious sushi! (Which I am too pick to eat, so I always just eat "tamago"!)

Another shop dog! I keep seeing them, recently. I love it when stores have animal mascots!

A bike from the shop with the dog--doesn't it look like a watermelon because of the colours?!

Eating out again! This time at a really popular local pizza place.

My friend bought us pizza! Thank you, Uncle David, haha!

LookBook is for Lovers // I am her flower & she is my sun

My friend Courtney & I entered the "couples" contest on LookBook!!

Her entry is here, and mine is here!

This contest is won via how many "hearts" we both get on LookBook. So if you want us to win, please "hype" and "heart" our looks on LookBook! (There will be a SPECIAL SURPRISE for those of you that heart either of our looks!)

Courtney is the first person that I don't know in real life on LookBook who really started to talk to me frequently. I've been a member of many forums online over the course of my life, but when it comes to LookBook sometimes it seems...a bit quiet, to me. So many wonderful people and wonderful comments, but even after months of being on LookBook I felt like I'd never found a real friend. Courtney and I started talking one day over the LookBook messaging system sometime last year, and since then we talk nearly everday! I can't imagine not having her to talk to about clothes, personal matters, and just life. It's nice to find someone who really listens to you, and isn't just waiting for their turn to talk. She means so much to me!

I love this ivy wall!

Hype and heart me (or Courtney!) if you like our looks!

Courtney's look is so pretty!!

Hype and heart her!

Birds & Bones

I love my dress from Roxy--there was a point in time when I first moved in with my boyfriend ages ago when I lived in a different city that I wore this dress for like a month straight!

Forever love my Jeffrey Campbell litas!

This entire wall is really cool!

"Off the Waffle" waffles are so good.

Cute little shop dog at a bookstore!

Soo many books!

Peach Waves // Happy early Valentine's Day!!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!

I am in LOVE with this dress from Club Couture! It's so dainty!

It's a bit short on me personally though, so I put a cute floofy peach coloured skirt underneath!

You might not be able to tell from the photo, but the sleeves are basically see through, and made of lace! Soo cute!

New friends, Shop Akira!!

Received this lovely detachable collar from Shop AKIRA!! I'm already thinking of so many ways to use it, it's SO cute! Leopard is one of my favourite prints, so I think I'll have a lot that will match!!

I was super excited when Shop Akira contacted me, because they carry many products I really love, like Jeffrey Campbell boots! Check them out!
