Graphic Tee 2 Ways

When I was at the Vancouver Top Mom Blogger’s celebration a few weeks ago, I saw this quote on a t-shirt and it immediately made me think of myself and my husband. He is always telling me that I need to believe in myself and stop selling myself short, but it’s hard. Wearing this shirt reminds me that we all feel the same way. We are all battling with insecurity, self-image, self-love, etc. I love that when I wear this shirt, people stop and tell me how much they like the message. We all need to start believing in this, because this quote is true. So the next time you find yourself kicking yourself or doubting yourself, remember this quote and remember that we all feel this way.

This graphic tee has quickly become one of my favourite t’s to wear. What I like about it, besides the message is how versatile it is. I wore it with skinny jeans, red blazer and statement necklace to a friend’s son’s birthday and I also wore it with leggings and a denim vest. I like the fit, style, definitely the message. Graphic tee’s aren’t just for a casual look. Try dressing it up with a gorgeous statement necklace, blazer, and heels or pair it with your favourite maxi skirt and denim vest. Below are 2 ways that I styled this tee:

Style it with a blazer, skinny jeans, flats and statement necklace

Blazer (J Crew). T-Shirt (JAC by Jacqueline Conoir). Jeans (J Brand c/o Aritzia). Flats (Tory Burch). Bracelet & Necklace (J Crew). Watch (Michael Kors).

Style it with leggings, denim vest and flats or runners

T-Shirt (JAC by Jacqueline Conoir). Vest (Old Navy). Leggings (Jacob). Flats (Tory Burch).

May this blog inspire you to purchase a cute graphic tee and see all the different ways you can style it.

Pink Linen Blazer 2 Ways

20 Replies

I fell in love with this pink/blush linen blazer from Banana Republic. When I saw it, I knew it would be the perfect blazer to transition me from Winter to Spring to Summer. The only down side is that it wrinkles very easily, but otherwise it’s perfect. I never used to like the colour pink, don’t know why, but I honestly hated it. I am finding that as I’m getting older, I tend to be drawn to pink things. Who knew getting older would make me appreciate the colour pink more !!!!

I know that you guys are well aware that I absolutely love blazers and they are the perfect completer piece to any outfit. If you are stumped for what to wear, throw on a t-shirt, skinny jeans, add flats, a statement necklace and a blazer to finish off your look. This is definitely my go-to outfit when I’m stumped as to what to wear. Blazers don’t have to be boxy or make you feel like you work in an office. When I wear blazers, I feel more put together, yet still feeling not overly dressed up. Below are 2 ways that I’ve worn this fabulous blazer.

Style it casually with a simple white tee, skinny jeans, flats and a statement necklace

Blazer & Purse (Banana Republic). T-Shirt (Gap). Jeans (J Brand c/o Aritzia). Loafers & Necklace (J Crew). Bracelet (Stella & Dot).

Style it for a night out with leather leggings, white shirt, statement necklace & heels

Blazer (Banana Republic). T-Shirt (Gap). Leather Leggings (RW & Co.). Necklace & Purse (J Crew). Heels (Aldo).

Below are 4 great options for a fabulous pink blazer:

Pink, Stripes & Pangea Giveaway

60 Replies

One of my favourite blazers is this peachy pink one from Banana Republic. I can’t get enough of it. I love wearing it with a white top, skinny jeans, statement necklace and my striped loafers. I’m really looking forward to pairing it with some dresses and shorts once this weather finally warms up.

Blazer (Banana Republic). T-Shirt (Gap). Jeans (J Brand c/o Aritzia). Necklace & Loafers (J Crew). Purse (Banana Republic).

In the past 6 years I’ve made a conscious effort to try and minimize the amount of chemicals my family and I ingest, from make up, to every day household cleaning products, to beauty products to food. Sometimes it’s harder to find affordable, chemical free products and Pangea Organics is a great option.

I’ve teamed up with Pangea Organics Canada to giveaway their fabulous Canadian Pine with white sage Hand Soap and Egyptian Fennel with grapefruit and sweet orange lip balm. Pangea Organics is a Canadian company based out of Vancouver who strive to “ALWAYS: Nurturing, Handcrafted, Organic, Fair Trade (whenever possible), and Cruelty-Free; NEVER:Petroleum, Sulfates or Detergents, Synthetic Preservatives, Artificial Colors or Fragrances, or GMOs“.

Pangea Organics kindly sent over their Canadian Pine with white sage Hand Soap and Egyptian Fennel with grapefruit and sweet orange lip balm. I’m not the biggest fan of pine scented things, but I really enjoy it in their hand wash. It’s just the right amount pine scent and it’s a nice alternative to the normal lavender scented ones I usually buy. I like that it doesn’t dry out your hands and it comes out in the form of foam. Their lip balm is an interesting combination of scents: fennel, grapefruit and orange. I like that it’s bigger than the traditional size of lip balm. I find that it leaves your lips not sticky or too shiny and that it conditions your lips so that they feel nice and soft.

So here’s your chance to win their wonderful Canadian Pine with white sage Hand Soap and Egyptian Fennel with grapefruit and sweet orange lip balm. Just follow the Rafflectoper instructions below. Contest runs until Wednesday May 14 midnight PST and is open to both Canadian & US residents. Good luck everyone!!!!

Pink Tippi Sweater 5 Ways

30 Replies

Last year I purchased my first Tippi sweater from J Crew and was in love. I now have 3 in burgundy, pink and blue. Why I like them so much is that they are lightweight, have 3/4 length sleeve and are made to layer over and under. My favourite way to wear it is layered over a button shirt with jeans, flats and statement necklace. You can wear it with shorts, boyfriend jeans, skinny jeans, cropped pants, layer a button shirt underneath it, add a statement necklace and complete the outfit by adding a blazer. I wore it with a polka dot skirt for my son’s family birthday party last year. Since most of us itching for Spring to arrive, the Tippi sweater from J Crew is the perfect sweater to help you transition from Winter to Spring. Below are 5 different ways I have styled it.

Weekend Wear For A Special Lego Movie Date

32 Replies

Considering what a crazy week I had, my weekend was the complete opposite; relaxing, fun, spent much needed time with my husband and son. My husband is starting a new job today so on Sunday we were able to finally have some much needed “family” time and we took my son to see the Lego movie. It’s been raining on and off here for the past week, so I figured a sweater with a sequin neckline, skinny jeans, and booties were the perfect, cozy outfit for movie going. This sweater is the perfect combination of casual and dressy, by having a bit of sparkle at the neckline. I love that this sweater can be worn casually, like I did to go to the movies, or you can dress it up with leather leggings and heels. (Stay tuned Thursday to see my Saturday night, Ladies’s Night escapades!! :))

Flats 7 Ways

20 Replies

Gotta say I think Spring has finally arrived, with that so has my hay fever, but I’ll take it!!!!! So with Spring comes warmer weather, the putting away of boots and the bringing out flats, loafers, sandals, anything that doesn’t cover your ankles!!!!!!!!! Today’s post is all about flats. I basically live in flats from about March to November, after that I give up and concede to wearing boots.

I love flats because you can wear them with anything, yes anything (ok well you can skip wearing them with Lululemons!!!!). Dress it up with leather leggings and a statement necklace or wear them with boyfriend jeans and a t-shirt. Any way you wear it is perfectly acceptable. Yes I know I’m bit excited, but can you blame me?!?!? I’ve been wearing boots for almost 5 months now!!!

When shopping for flats try buying ones with interesting details like sequins, or bow or patterns. Try a colourful one, or a nude one, maybe something other then black.

Style them for a casual look with jeggings, sweater and jean jacket

Flats (Aldo). Jean Jacket & Sweater (Gap). Jeggings (RW & Co.).

Style it with leather leggings and statement necklace for a night out

Styling a White Blazer, Statement Necklace & Graphic Tee: Style Swap

18 Replies

When I saw Lulu’s (from Simply Lulu) post, on Tuesday, I knew this would be my outfit this week for Ginny’s (from My New Favorite Outfit) and Jenn’s (fromThe Brandied Pair) Style Swap Link Up. I have everything I need in my closet to recreate Lulu’s outfit: a white blazer, jeans, nude heels, statement necklace and a graphic tee. Gotta say I’m loving their style swap, it’s given me lots of ideas for making outfits of items I already have in my closet. I apologize for the blurry pictures, it was pouring rain, like I’m talking Monsoon, so I had no choice but to take the pictures indoors.

Style Swap: Styling A Navy Cardigan

20 Replies

I’ve had this navy blue cardigan forever and the other day I saw the fabulous Rachel from Pink Peonies style it with skinny jeans, heels and a scarf. I thought this would be the perfect outfit for Ginny’s from My New Favorite Outfit and Jenn’s fromThe Brandied Pair Style Swap Link Up.

I wasn’t able to style this outfit with heels as Rachel did (nor do I look as glamorous as Rachel does, this is definitely a more realistic look for me), because we had about a foot of snow, but I did manage to style it with boots and a fabulous polka dot scarf and blinged it up with arm candy and a statement necklace.

Blazers 8 Ways

22 Replies

It’s no secret that I love blazers and that I basically live in them 3/4 of the year. They go with absolutely everything, from maxi dresses, to skirts, dresses, shorts, boyfriend jeans, jeans, cropped pants… You get the idea. Like I said, everything!!!!!!! I like blazers because they can dress up an outfit as simple as t-shirt and jeans. It’s a great alternative to wearing a cardigan and then a jacket over it. I also like blazers because they are a great piece to use to layer. You can wear it over a sweater and blouse or layer it over a dress. I must have a dozen different blazers in my closet.

I know it’s been radio silence over here the past few days. I worked Saturday night (was miserable, spent Sunday recovering), Monday was a holiday (Family Day), Tuesday was errand day ( I was gone pretty much all day) and then all of a sudden it was Wednesday. I can’t believe it’s already Thursday and the middle of February!!!! Seriously where has this year gone?!?!?!? I’ll be back with regular posts next week, I promise :)!!!!

This is what I wore yesterday: a simple brown tunic style sweater, skinny jeans, boots and a rose gold necklace. Like I wrote in previous posts, I’m trying hard to stay on my shopping freeze, therefore I’m rediscovering items that I’ve had in my closet but haven’t worn in a while.
