Rumour by The Subways on Grooveshark

I just love model's off duty style they just look so casual chic, to be honest these outfits are all i want to wear right now pants, a jacket, some type of shirt and a pair of great boots. Work is winding down now, the weather has been super warm so the ski resort i work at wont be open to much longer. I have been super stressed about school, finding a job for summer and personal life stuff lately so everyone cross your fingers things get better. I am so sorry for not blogging or commenting i have been doing the whole terrible reading but not commenting thing lately so after work wraps up i def get back into swing of things again :). I hope everyone had a great day!!

Tunic: For Sale On Ebay, Tanktop: Value Village: $6, Leggings: Stiches $10, Boots: Aldo $80, Purse: Thrift $4, Hat: Ardenes $7

Wahoo first day off work since last wednesday i am sooooo excited!!!! I took these photos over the weekend but i just got time to edit them now. I found this red purse at my local thrift store one day after Christmas when they were having this awesome fifty percent off sale. I just love big purses and it is in great condition, sometimes i wonder why people want to giveaway such a great stuff lol. I am selling this tunic on ebay (the link is above!!) or trying to at least it is my first attempt at selling some of my clothes on there. I seriously love it and looking at these photos makes me kindof wish i hadnt decided to sell it but i am really trying to clean out my closet. It is in great condition and i have only worn it once since i bought it so if anyone wanted to check it out that would be totally awesome :). Today i am hanging out with one of the boys i work with and among other things i think we are going bowling. I havent gone in like four years so i am somewhat excited for that although i am a terrible bowler :). I hope everyone has a great day!!

Blazer: Warehouse One $30, Tunic: Wild Rose $17, Belt: Thrift $1, Leggings: Zellers $6, Boots: Value Village: $13, Purse: Wild Rose $20

Only one picture today, i took these photos on my one of my days off work last week but the sun was so bright i couldnt look at the camera. I definitely need to invest in some nice sunglasses, i sat on my favourite pair and totally killed them a few months ago. I really love this outfit i bought the tunic on my last shopping trip and it is so adorable, i dont think i can get away with wearing it by itself though since it is on the short side. These winter boots are my pride and joy i found them at Value Village for thirteen dollars!!!!! I can hardly ever find second hand shoes since i am a size ten or eleven but these babies fit perfectly and are completely lined so they are super warm in the cold weather plus as a bonus they are real leather :). I am going to the movies tonight to see The Vow has anyone seen it, is it good? I generally am not the romantic movie type (action and sci fi all the way) but my friend really wants to see it so i am hoping it will be cute!! I am off work today and tomorrow so i am going to try and catch up on reading my favourite blogs along with replying to comments. I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Jacket: Gift from my sister, Scarf: Spring $15, Shirt: Bluenotes $13, Pants: Value Village $8, Purse: Value Village $2.50, Doc Martens: Soft Moc $140, Hat: Ardenes $7

Hello everyone!!!! Yet again i must apolgize for my long blog absence, i am finding it super difficult to get pictures taken with the unpredicatable weather and work. This is basically everything i have been up to the last little while just to update you all on what i have been doing

-working ALOT lol
-i crashed our van into the ditch and ruined it so i have been completely homebound for the last few weeks :(
-obsessively reading Game of Thrones and A Clash of Kings, i literally cannot wait to get a hold of the third book
-hanging out at my friends and painting my nails pretty much every colour i can think of, so far my favourite is mint green
-listening to the newest She Wants Revenge album
-catching up on the entire second season of Pretty Little Liars (totally love their clothes)
-cleaning my entire room and throwing out eight bags of crappy clothing

And that is about it!! Nothing to to exciting thats for sure. I know this outfit is very similar to my last one but this is the kindof thing i have been wearing alot lately. I just love this purse, i cant believe i got it for $2.50 at Value Village during one of their fifty percent off days, that is such a awesome price!!! I just love the colour and the little beads, my purse collection has grown tremendously since the summer i think i have eight or nine different bags now. I got my Doc Martens a little while ago, i havent had very many opportunities to wear them anywhere but i think they just look so cool!!! What are everyones Valentines Day plans tomorrow?! My friend and i decided to do a little anti-Valentines celebration since neither of us have a significant boy in our lives (boo lol) which will involve lots of action movies (absolutely nothing romantic) and a big bottle of very cheap crappy wine :). I hope everyone had a lovely day!!

Inspiration: Doc Martens



Photobucket


1, 2, 3, 4

Hi everyone i am so so sorry for my blog absence!!!!! i just got home from a eleven and half hour shift at the ski resort i work at and am totally pooped right now. I work a ton next week but i am going to try and get out for outfit photos on monday which is my one day off (woot woot). Last week i went on a awesome trip to visit my sister and i have tons of new stuff to show you all it is so nice to be able to afford things over ten dollars but i am still super cheap generally fifteen is my max lol. Although i did splurge and buy a pair of brand spanking new doc martens!!! i have been searching thrift stores and ebay for two years now but i have very large feet and have never been able to find my size!!! So i finally bought new ones for myself because i never buy anything remotely expensive and i have read they are excellent for walking once they have been broken in. I really love how they look especially with skinny jeans so here are some fab inspiration pics for them. I hope everyone had a great day!!

Words Trip Like Untied Shoelaces



Photobucket


Hat: Spring $12, Leopard Print Scarf: Spring $15, Shirt: Bluenotes $6, Pants: Smart Set $12, Purse: Value Village $6, Boots: Spring $13

I never used to be much of a accessories person but they seriously can make a outfit look better by adding just a few things. This is such a casual outfit but i love how the mixed prints, bag and hat make it look more interesting. I went shopping on monday and got lots of great stuff!!!!! Value Village was having a 5%0 off sale for their Super Saver Club members which i totally recommend signing up for because i found some great things like my purse in these photos for super cheap. I cannot wait to take outfit photos of everything, i finally found my leopard print scarf at the mall which i have been looking ages for, it is AMAZING i love it so much plus it just goes with everything. I got these pants in Smart Set which kindof surprised me, i have been wanting skinny cargo pants for ages and i tried these ones on for fun since i thought they would be to small but they fit perfectly. I dont know if i really have the kindof legs which look good in pants being pear shaped and all but they are so comfortable especially on lazy days so i have been wearing pants alot more than i used to. Have a great day everyone!!

Where The Kids Are Running Free Tonight


WHERE THE KIDS ARE by Blondfire on Grooveshark

Sweater: Thrift $7, Tunic: borrowed from my sister, Belt: Thrift: $.50, Leggings: Stitches $10, Boots: Thrift $3 (oh yeah i couldnt believe that price either :))

Ohmygoodness i cant believe it has been over fifteen days since my last post!!!! I had a really wonderful holiday this year and got to see lots of my family :). This was the first year i was the legal drinking age in Ontario so my friend and i went out for New Years which resulted in some funny memories and me getting a nasty cold that is finally going away now. I also worked alot during that time although thankfully i have had the last few days off after working seven in a row. I am SO excited to get my paycheck for the last two weeks on friday, i am going to do some major shopping before i start saving all of my money for school. I did order these boots from Aldo as a little Christmas present to myself i have developed a tiny obsession with knee high boots. I borrowed this tunic from my sister when i was looking through her closet one night. I offered to buy it from her but i really cant blame her for wanting to keep it since it is totally adorable!! I hadnt taken outfit pictures in such a long time i totally forgot what to do in front of the camera which is why there are only two photos. I found this belt at my local thrift store, it is so cool it wraps around and clasps with these two gold buckles, i will have to take close up shots next time. I bought these boots back in October and completely forgot about them until now, they are kindof beat up if your look at them to closely but for three dollars they are awesome bargain!!!
