Glitter + an update

It's only been a week since my last post but it feels like it's been so long. I got food poisoning on New Year's Eve (what an awful way to ring in the new year!) and was sick for a few days. I started feeling better just in time to fly back to Regina Wednesday, and my classes started on Thursday. After such a long holiday, it feels a bit weird to be back to the daily grind, but I think this semester will be a good one and it won't take long to get back in the swing of things.

Anyways, since I haven't taken any photos this week I though I'd show a quick snapshot from New Year's Eve (y'know, before I got sick).

I absolutely love this pin I found at Value Village this past fall. It's so dainty and cute.



Dress c/o City Chic
Thrifted plaid shirt
Payless flats
Northern Reflections belt

Purple prints

Still doing a bit of catching up here.. I've been really exhausted this week (thank goodness classes are almost over) so I haven't gotten around to posting much, even though I've still been photographing my outfits. This is what I wore to classes last Friday - I really liked it!









These leg warmer/socks combo make wearing boots with tights much better. I bought them last year but they were too small for my calves. I found them again and decided to cut the top seem and fold over any unsightly bits. Worked like a charm!

Dress c/o City Chic
Ricki's sweater
Naturalizer boots
Penningtons tights
Walmart socks
forgot where the scarf is from...Le Chateau maybe?

City Chic Lookbook

The second City Chic Blogger Lookbook is out, and I'm once again lucky enough to be a part of it. Thanks to those who voted for me back in July!

As you can surely tell, these photos are from the summer when I was still in Edmonton, but I'm happy to be able to share them with you now. This dress is one of my absolute favourites and I can't wait to dress it up for autumn.

Be sure to pop over to the City Chic website and check out all the gorgeous women in the lookbook!

Pretty Paisley

Isn't the scenery in these photos absolutely gorgeous? These were taken in Kananaskis as well, and this pretty little marsh wasn't too far from our cabin(the mosquitoes were something awful though). I wasn't sure about this top, as I've never worn a lot of orange, but my friend Sonya convinced to me give it a try. It was really the scoop neck back and $15 price tag that sold it. I paired it with this pretty paisley skirt because orange and brown seemed like a good colour combination, and I love the way it turned out! These pieces of jewellery are some of my favourites right now - the bird necklace that my best friend brought back from Japan melts my heart! As for these sandals I'm smitten! It's a rare day that I find sandals that fit my fat feet, but when I saw these elastic sandals on the Spring Shoes I was hopeful that they'd work. They were only $15 as well, and as they were shipping within Canada it was free and only took a week. I believe I got the last pair, and I'm so glad I snagged them up!







Top (actually a too-short dress) - Old Navy size XXL

As I mentioned on Twitter last week, I had the privilege of being a part of City Chic first Blogger Lookbook.



The lookbook features a tonne of gorgeous women, and I love seeing how different bloggers style their City Chic items in their own ways. For their next Blogger Lookbook, City Chic has asked their fans to vote for which bloggers they'd like to see featured by "liking" their photos on facebook. What a fun way to engage with customers! Jog on over to their Facebook page, take a look at other bloggers' CC outfits, and vote for the bloggers you'd like to see more from! I would absolutely love to continue to be a part of City Chic's Blogger Lookbook, and if you'd like to see me in future lookbooks, you can "like" my photo here. I don't want to ask too much of you all, but I'd really appreciate it!
