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.

Polka Dots and Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up

This is a shift dress that I wore to a girl’s night on Friday. I went straight from work to the party and my co-workers thought I was all dressed up for them. Although I do dress nicely for work, I told them I was going out afterwards. I need to wear this dress more often. I’m hoping to make it transition into Fall and Winter by adding tights, boots, and layering a turtleneck or a boyfriend shirt underneath.

Pink, Printed Pant & Mother’s Day!!!

30 Replies

Happy Post Mother’s Day. I had a fabulous weekend, how was yours? Before I get to it, this is what I am wearing today: a pink Tippi sweater, printed cropped pants, ballet flats and my jean jacket. The weather can’t decide on what it wants to do. One minute it’s raining, the next it’s sunny. Perfect outfit for running errands in unpredictable weather.

Jean Jacket & Pants (Gap). Sweater (J Crew). Flats (Aldo). Necklace (Joe Fresh). Bracelet (The Bay). Watch (Michael Kors).

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day started a bit early for me. I am a VIB member of Sephora, which means that I get emails about different promotions. They sent me a free makeover voucher and I was finally able to use it. Thursday night before heading out to my girl’s night, a friend and I headed over to Sephora for a free makeover. My make up artist, Athena, was the same one who did my face at Christmas time. She did an amazing job. I love the colours she used. I couldn’t stop staring at my eye makeup. Love it!!!! Check it out.

Sephora Makeover

On Sunday the boys let me sleep in until just after 8 and then my son could no longer hold in his excitement and with the most enthusiasm I have ever seen, woke me up with a “Happy Mother’s Day”. The kid was so excited that he jumped right onto me in bed. They brought me a latte, a home made card and some flowers my son picked out. Once downstairs, my husband showed me the rest of my present. He made me a collage of our son’s 4th Birthday. Well that just put me right into the ugly cry.

Aiden’s home made card for me

I was then made home made french toast, topped with whipped cream and strawberries. That was the beginning of my gastronomic feast.

French Toast

My son fell asleep on our way to Granville Island

We took a detour on the way to parking for the water taxi, so I could get my “pain au chocolate” from my favorite French bakery. Then since we were in the neighbourhood, I stopped at the Tea Merchant for my favorite Early Grey tea.

Waiting for the Water Taxi to take us to Granville Island

For lunch we went to this amazing restaurant on Granville Island called “Edible Canada“, where everything is local. The food was absolutely amazing and the portions were huge. Definitely a family friendly establishment.

My son took the next 2 pictures. He did a good job!!!

Our Brunch, AMAZING!!!! What I ordered

My husband’s order

Aiden’s order

What trip to Granville Island is complete without visiting the kids market!!!?? Aiden had the time of his little life.

Headed back to our car via the water taxi

A little FYI, next time you want to go to Granville Island park under the Burrard Street Bridge and take the water taxi over. The ride is only 3 mins long and you don’t have to fight for parking. You have to pay for both parking and the water taxi, but the time you save in not fighting for parking is so worth it. Plus it’s fun taking the water taxi.

We finished off our evening with take out Thai.

Thank you to my boys for such an amazing and special Mama’s Day. I had a blast and I am so blessed to have you monkeys in my life.

May this blog inspire you to try taking the water taxi to Granville Island next time and to try out Edible Canada.

Pretty Dandelion & Week Recap

30 Replies

Today is Friday!!!!! Thank God!!! It’s been a busy week. I’m in party planning mode for my son’s birthday, so I’ve got balloons, decorations, loot bags on the brain.

My son’s idea of a pretty flower is a Dandelion. He likes it’s bright colour. Every day we get home, he goes and picks a “pretty flower for Mama” and we put it into water. I don’t have the heart to tell him that it’s a weed. He proudly picks as many as he can find and then gives them to me and says “here Mama, I picked you some pretty flowers”. His smile is so big and he gives the flowers to me with so much love that I have developed a heart for Dandelions. To my son they aren’t weeds, they represent sunshine and a pretty flower. I love his heart and his soul and how he can see the beauty in everything. Now if only we all could see the beauty in everything.

This is what I am wearing today: a polka dot shift dress, flats, an emerald green cardigan and a black bubble necklace. Today we are headed to run some errands, my son has a eye appointment (just routine) and then I’m headed out tonight for a friend’s birthday.

Cardigan & Leggings (Jacob). Dress (J Crew). Flats (Rocket Dog). Necklace (Joe Fresh). Bracelets (Stella & Dot). Watch (Michael Kors). Purse (Banana Republic).

Here is a recap of what I wore this week.

My Thoughts!!!

1. A friend of mine posted this clip from Britain’s Got Talent on Facebook and I just had to share it with you all. It left me with goosebumps and tears in my eyes. This is a Hungarian (woo hoo) dance group doing shadow dancing. If this clip doesn’t leave you moved and touched in some way then I dont’ know what will. It even moved Simon Cowell, and that’s saying a lot!!!

2. Someone posted this on Facebook and even before I saw it, I had mentioned to my husband how the horror in Boston should remind us all that every single day, people all over the world are living in fear and terror. I am deeply saddened by what happened in Boston and it should remind us all to love each other and to be more tolerant of one another. Another blogger posted that all this craziness is not about politics or guns, it’s about lack of love, compassion, understanding and tolerance. If we just all showed each other more love, we would not be in this predicament.

3. I can’t even begin to imagine what is going through the minds of Senators in the US right now. I don’t understand how the death of 20 toddlers is not enough to change minds and laws!!! You should be ashamed of yourselves!!!! These children need not die in vain, their deaths should be an impetuous to change the laws surrounding guns. We need to get help to those suffering from mental illnesses and we need to ensure that we do everything in our power to keep guns out of harmful hands. NO ONE NEEDS AN ASSAULT WEAPON TO DEFEND THEMSELVES!!! PLAIN AND SIMPLE.

4. Gwyneth Paltrow has been in the news recently about a comment she made about not giving her kids gluten and dairy. I saw her on the Dr. Oz show last week and she elaborated on what she mean’t. What she said was that at home, she tries to cook clean and healthy for her kids. Her son suffers from Eczema and eliminating gluten and dairy helps him. She wasn’t saying that she deprives her kids, but that she is trying to feed them healthy food. What’s wrong with that??? That’s exactly what I do with my son. At home we try to eat healthy. Sure we eat McDonalds, have pizza and sushi on occasion, but he also knows what a healthy meal looks like. He knows that all that fast food is a treat and that his vegetables and fruit are healthy and will help him grow up to be big and strong. I wish more people were conscious and aware of what they were eating and feeding their kids, then maybe we wouldn’t have such high rates of obese and diabetic children. Here’s the clip in case you’re interested.

Don’t forget about my link up next Thursday April 25. Click here for details.

May this blog inspire you to pick some Dandelions and to show compassion and love to others. Let’s start making this world a better place and get rid of the monster’s who perpetuate hate!!! I’ll end this blog with my favorite movie Love Actually’s song All You Need Is Love!!!!
