casual friday

March 19, 2011

I’ve been pretty good about avoiding stores lately, especially with that urge to shop that I spoke about last post. Thank you all for such great comments and advice. It’s so nice to know I’m not the only one obsessing! But of course, I couldn’t help myself when I saw this purse at Front & Co. the other day. A vintage double buckle brown-ish purse is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Under $30 and in great condition. I had to stop myself from doing a little happy dance and then quickly removed myself from the store before I did any more damage to my bank account!

When you work for the same clothing company, the odds of showing up to work wearing the same things as someone else is far greater. Today was only one of many days where two of us have shown up in the same thing. It’s pretty funny, except that Claudia was being a little camera shy.

And before you go, please hop over to 24 Blogazine and check out their featured blogger today. I’ll give you a hint…it’s me 😉 Happpppy Friday my sweets xx

somewhere in between // what is real & just a dream

March 10, 2011

(all but 4 photos from here)

Maybe blogging is the poor (wo)man’s version of therapy. I think many of us are just twenty somethings, looking for an end to many unanswered questions. I have been playing the old comparison game, and looking at other girl’s outfits as superior to mine. I think we’re all guilty of it, but perhaps we don’t talk about it. Or maybe you don’t feel that way, and for that I am jealous of you. I wish I didn’t care.

The worst part of it all, is that these feelings make me want to shop. I have to use all my will power not to step foot into a store or drive my car to the mall. I’ve filled carts and emptied carts online. It’s the first step of the shopaholic cycle. But see, for the first time in a long time I actually have money and that makes me feel proud. So where is that balance between buying new things and saving some dollars?

Okay, I feel much better. Therapy session over.

Thanks 🙂

Style Wedding

Weekend Frocks

March 8, 2011

As many of you know, my best friend Jessica is getting married this November in Hawaii. Not only am I excited to be the Maid of Honour, but I get to spend 10 days with my best friends in Maui! Wedding planning and events will become more frequent, and I can’t help but get caught up in all the wedding excitement (earmuffs Adam).

On Saturday we ventured to Frocks to take a look at bridesmaid dresses. It’s so funny how the three of us had picked out our favourite styles online, but ended up liking the exact opposite of what we’d seen on the website. We found a dress that is flattering, comfortable, lightweight, and super cute! And we’re clearly girls who know what we like, as our visit lasted all of 15 minutes (they book you a 2 hour appointment). After freshening up at Jessica’s new apartment, we headed off to celebrate with some spiked frappes and appetizers. Shopping, weddings, and drinks? Pretty much the perfect Saturday afternoon!

Fashion Challenge // Lessons Learned

March 2, 2011

Don’t look like an annoyed giraffe.

Don’t make any hand gestures that dinosaurs would also make.

Don’t walk away mid photo.

Don’t create ghost hands.

Don’t make silly poses.

And finally, don’t blink and talk at the same time. It’s NEVER flattering!

In all seriousness, I learned that I CAN make decent outfits with my existing wardrobe, even when I incorporated pieces that I never ever wear! I will continue to do this and now I must challenge all of YOU to do the same! Take that piece of clothing you haven’t worn and make an outfit with it, you just might surprise yourself! I even included a button on the sidebar that you can copy & paste on your blog if you’d like.

Must say a thank you to my wonderful photogs Adam and Danielle and to all of you for following the challenge. Time for outfit posts with new clothing. That’s right, I went SHOPPING 😀

P.S. If you’d like to see a full roundup of my Febraury Fashion Challenge, I have all 20 outfits on the Alicia Fashionista Facebook Page.
