Cobalt & Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up

This is what I am wearing today: a grey sweater, cobalt blazer, trouser jeans, metallic flats and my favorite tote. I love this grey sweater and I don’t wear it nearly enough because it’s such a drab colour. I recently purchased this fabulous cobalt blazer and thought it would be a great way to add some colour to the grey sweater. If you’re finding that your outfits are a bit dull or drab, try adding some colour with a fabulous blazer, cardigan, scarf, purse or even a colourful statement necklace. Just by adding something colourful to your outfit, you’ve given it a new life.

Jacket & Sweater (R W & Co.). Trouser Jeans (Gap). Metallic Flats (Aldo). Tote (J Crew). Bracelet (Giggolosophy). Watch (Michael Kors). Necklace (My Name Necklace).

Take yesterday’s outfit for example a black cardigan, white t-shirt and skinny jeans. I added a red scarf and it completely changed the way I felt about the outfit. It went from a plain, normal outfit to a colourful one. Below is the outfit I wore.

J Brand Jeans

So if you’re finding yourself in a bit of a lack of colour in your outfits rut, try adding some colour with a scarf, purse, jacket, cardigan or statement necklace.

Hair, A Rainy Field Trip (Burnaby Village Museum) and Sunflower Cupcakes

36 Replies

This is what I am wearing today: my skinny jeans, nude bow ballet flats, black cardigan, a white t-shirt accessorized with a red scarf and a fabulous tote. Since I pretty much looked like a wet rat after my son’s preschool field trip, I decided to show you my outfit via Polyvore.

Let’s just say that yesterday was gong show. It pretty much pissed rain the entire field trip. The teachers got the time wrong and we were an hour early. Imagine trying to entertain 20 4-5 year olds!!! Thankfully we were able to start a bit earlier. My son was a super star and so were the rest of the kids. I am so impressed at how patient they were. I have to thank 3 of the moms that I know that were my sanity’s saving grace. We all went around together which made it way more fun and tolerable. Next time I’m bringing Bailey’s in a thermos!!!! I just don’t understand how people can be so disorganized (my son’s preschool teachers and the people running the Burnaby Village Museum). Thank God for the other moms who really made this wet field trip fun. Below are pictures of our wet escapade.

If you haven’t been to Burnaby Village Museum you should definitely check it out and take your kids when it’s not pissing rain. Although the rain sucked and it was disorganized, we did have a lot of fun. Plus you can get some ice cream as a treat at the end of it all. That’s what we did. A coffee for the moms and ice cream for the kids. Everyone left happy. Thanks again Lyn, Bonnie and Audrey for making this field trip bearable and fun.

Many of you have asked me how I style my hair. The long and short of it is that I don’t have to do anything but wash and wear. Now here’s the back story: before I had my son, I had an ugly wave in my hair, so I flat ironed it. After having my son, I accidentally discovered that my hair had become curly. I’ve heard of it happening to other people and that’s exactly what happened to me. I’ve always wanted curly hair, so I’m quite happy. All I do is wash my hair, dry it a bit in a towel and then using my hands crimp up my hair, let it dry a bit and then put some hairspray in it and let it dry. That’s it. Somedays it looks better than others, but that’s basically it. It sure makes styling my hair in the mornings easy.

Last but not least, after putting my son down for a nap and putting this post together, I decorated birthday cupcakes for an inner city school I volunteer at. Almost 2 years ago, I started making monthly cupcakes for the kids birthdays. These kids come from very poor homes where they sometimes don’t even have warm clothes for Winter. Every kid deserves to have their birthday celebrated and this is my way of giving back. So each month, I make different themed cupcakes. For both May and June, I decided to make sunflower cupcakes. Here they are:

Don’t forget to link up tomorrow for my weekly Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link up.

May this blog inspire you to explore Burnaby Village Museum (preferably when it’s not pouring rain outside) and to give back to your community.

The White Tee, Review of Terry Fallis’ The High Road and The Power of Social Media

30 Replies

Today’s post will include a little of this and a little of that. So let’s start with what I am wearing today: boyfriend jeans, Tippi sweater, bow flats and a blazer. The weather really can’t make up it’s mind. I’m hoping for a nicer, sunnier June.

Jacket (R W & Co.). Jeans (Gap). Sweater (J Crew). Flats (Aldo). Purse (J Crew). Necklace (Stella & Dot). Watch (Michael Kors). Bracelets (The Bay & Stella & Dot).

Today I’m linking up with Real Girl Glam for her Real Girl Style Challenge: The White Tee. I decided to pick 3 different ways I like to style a white tee. My favorite ways of styling a simple white tee is to add a statement necklace, cardigan or a vest. By adding any one of these you transform a simple white tee into something fabulous. Check out my favorite ways below…

The Power of Social Media

I recently fell in love with a new show on CNN called Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown. I was not familiar with Anthony, but the commercial caught my eye. The idea of the show is that he travels all around the world, experiencing different food and cultures. It’s not your typical travel show. There are no false pretenses, no sugar coating the lives people live. It’s an honest, candid view of what life is like in certain parts of the world. So far Anthony has travelled to Koreatown in LA, Quebec, Libya, Morocco, Columbia and Myanmar.

What really made an impact for me was when I watched the episode where Anthony was in Libya. I remember the revolution that happened 2 years ago. I watched the news which showed how people fought for their freedom. Anthony asked a man about the revolution and how it came to be and the man answered “it came to be through social media like Facebook and Twitter”. To oversimplify it people communicated and organized the revolution through Facebook and Twitter. It’s absolutely amazing to think how 2 forms of social media that barely existed a decade ago, helped give people their freedom. It’s mind blowing. If you get a chance you can watch Parts Unknown on CNN Sunday nights at 9pm. It’s definitely worth watching.

I recently finished Terry Fallis’ second novel called The High Road, which is the sequel to The Best Laid Plans. We read his first book in book club about a year ago and it pleasantly surprised me. I don’t care much for politics, especially Canadian as it’s as boring as watching paint dry, but Terry Fallis manages to captivate the reader through his main character Angus McLintock. Angus is a Scottish Engineer who accidentally gets involved in Canadian politics. I won’t go into any more detail as I don’t want to ruin the story. What I will say is from the first page, the humour engages you and compels you to keep reading.

The sequel is very much like the first one. From the first page I was laughing out loud. I only wish Canadian politics was this interesting. But on a more serious note, we recently held a Provincial Election here in BC and many people were disappointed with the outcome. For me personally, I didn’t want to vote (but I did!!!), as I felt like none of the candidates represented me, my family or my concerns. I felt like the campaigns were full of empty promises and grandiose propaganda. Once elected those officials, do whatever they want anyways. There is really no accountability. They say they are working for the people but they aren’t. They could take heed from Angus McLintock in Terry Fallis’ novels. Now this is a man who is true to his word, who doesn’t play the games, and doesn’t put up with bullshit. He says it like it is and in the end it benefits him. For once I would like to go to the polls feeling like one of the candidates represents me and my interests, instead of voting for the lesser of the evils. So if any Canadian politician reads this (highly doubtful, but one can hope), then please stop dicking around and start listening to us, the people. Stop playing games and start working for us the people. That’s what we are paying you for!!!!!

So back to the book, if you want a funny, quick, entertaining read then The High Road is perfect for you. It’s not just a book for Canadians, anyone can relate to the shenanigans of politicians. Start with the first, The Best Laid Plans and then read this one. You won’t be disappointed.

Blue, Metallics & A Different Take On Strawberry Shortcake

24 Replies

I want to start off this post by thanking everyone for their sweet and thoughtful comments. You guys are the reason why I love putting my posts together, everyday!!!! I’m sorry if I sounded negative. Sometimes we all just need to vent and that’s what I needed to do on Friday. I promise that I won’t let the numbers get to me. I love doing this blog and I love all the great friends I’ve made and readers that follow me. You guys are truly the best.

Next I want to thank Ginny from My New Favorite Outift for her shout out to me on her blog Sunday. It made my day :). Check her blog out, she always finds the most amazing pieces at her local Thrift store. I wish I was that lucky.

Also MJ from Outfit Posts posted my yellow tank top 2 different ways in her series One piece, Two ways Spring Edition. Check that out as well.

Thanks ladies for giving my blog some love!!!!

Many of you guys responded to my question in Friday’s post: pictures taken inside or outside? You guys like outside pictures better. I will do my best to take pictures outside but when it rains it will have to be inside.

Onto today’s outfit. Since the weather here really can’t make up it’s mind, I thought wearing cropped jeans, a t-shirt, cardigan and metallic flats is the perfect outfit for running errands. Great mominform ladies!!!! Comfortable, casual yet fashionable

Strawberry Shortcake

I was checking out my weekly Thrifty’s flyer and they had Organic strawberries on sale. I thought since it’s the long weekend, I could make some Strawberry Shortcake. Instead of making it the regular way, I thought I would add my own flair to it.

1. Start by making the vanilla cake. I use Martha Stewart’s recipe for Vanilla Cupcakes and make it into a cake instead of cupcakes. So yummy :).

Ingredients

1 3/4 cups cake flour, not self-rising
1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1-inch cubes
4 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray your 8×11″ pan with non-stick spray. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine flours, sugar, baking powder, and salt; mix on low speed until combined. Add butter, mixing until just coated with flour.

Martha's Stewarts Vanilla Cupcake Recipe

2. In a large glass measuring cup, whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla. With mixer on medium speed, add wet ingredients in 3 parts, scraping down sides of bowl before each addition; beat until ingredients are incorporated but do not overbeat.

3. Put the batter into a 8 x 11″ pan and bake between 40-50, until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

4. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool for 10 mins, after which you remove from pan and allow to sit on wire rack until cool completely.

5. While the cake is cooling you can whip the cream. Place whipping cream into a mixer using the whisk attachment and whisk it until it forms the cream. I also add some vanilla sugar to make it a little sweeter.

Whipped Cream

6. Once the cake has cooled I cut it into small pieces 1-2″ pieces. This is how it differs from the traditional Strawberry Shortcake. Instead of making it all pretty and making different layers, I thought it would be fun to make it into do it your own Strawberry Shortcake. This way you can add as much or as little whipped cream, cake and strawberries as you want.

7. Cut up the strawberries.

All the ingredients you need : cake, whipped cream and strawberries.

Now it’s your turn, have fun with it by making it your own. Kids love this and it’s super yummy.

The Final Product:

This is a great way to get your kids involved in making something and it tastes super yummy. My son loved it!!!!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!!!

Burgundy, Chambray, Boyfriend Jeans and Book Review of Freakonomics

34 Replies

I have a busy week ahead of me. We just did a family birthday party for my son yesterday. I’m attending my first blogger conference tomorrow and our son’s birthday party with his friends and his actually birthday is on Saturday. So in light of all that, this post was written last week. I knew I would be too busy after the weekend to get anything written.

Click here to see the winner of the Stella & Dot giveaway. Congrats!!!!

This is what I am wearing today: a chambray top layered under a burgundy sweater, boyfriend jeans and my favorite flats. Perfect outfit to take my son to gymnastics in.

Book Review of Freakonomics

We recently read the book Freakonomics for my bookclub. I have to say I would have never picked up this book, had I not been in this bookclub, but I’m glad that I did. The book is written by a journalist and an economist. Rather than it being a dry book, which is what I had envisioned, it was enlightening and funny at times. It definitely makes you rethink the way you think about things, especially the way you absorb what the media says.

I found it to be a quick read and was well laid out. I especially liked the title of the chapters: Chaper 1: What do schoolteachers and sumo wrestlers have in common? Chapter 2: How is the Ku Klux klan like a group of real-estate agents? Chapter 3: Why do drug dealers still live with their moms? Chapter 4: Where have all the criminals gone? Chapter 5: What makes a perfect parent? and Chapter 6: Perfect Parenting, Part 11; or: Would a Roshanda by any other name smell as sweet? You must be thinking what do Sumo wrestlers and teachers have in common? Well according to the authors, cheating is what they have in common. More specifically, cheating to help the greater good. My other favorite chapter is the one about why drug dealers still live at home? I never thought about how they run their businesses and according to this book, they run the drug dealing business like one would run a McDonalds. I won’t go into further details. I’ll let you guys read it for yourselves!!!

The idea of this book isn’t to convince you that the author is right. The point is to get you to change the way you take in information; to question what people say and to not take things at face value. He discusses how when people give you stats, they are exaggerated on purpose to get people’s attention and how stats are always influenced by the person giving it. The message is question what people are saying and make up your own ideas of things.

They bring up some very interesting points such as the real reason the crime rate went down. They attribute it to Roe v. Wade and the fact that abortions became legal in 1973. They suggest that because those children, who otherwise would have been born to poor parents, would most likely become criminals, were now aborted, the number of potential criminals went down. It definitely is a very controversial statement and conclusion. I’m not here to argue whether I agree or not, I’m simply stating what they say. It certainly is something to think about.

I would recommend this book to read as it gives you new insights into what you believed and makes you rethink the way you take in information. Have you read this book? What are your thoughts?

May this blog inspire you to try and see things in a different and perhaps more open way.

I had Saturday off and I ran errands with my son, while my husband attended a work conference. I picked up this fabulous pink t-shirt from the Gap for $10 and I thought this weekend would be the perfect time to wear it. Many people have asked me how to dress up a simple t-shirt, so here you go. The simplest way to dress up a t-shirt is to add a great necklace and a jacket.

This is how I styled it on Saturday: boyfriend jeans, ballet flats, pink trench coat and a brown cross body bag and added a fabulous, simple statement necklace seen in the pictures above.

Show Me Your Favorite Spring Trend Link Up

Here are my favorite Spring trends. I decided to show some of my favorite Spring trends with 2 of my favorite dresses for this season styled casual, work and going out.

1. Bright colors

Dress (J Crew). Necklace (Banana Republic). Arm Candy (Stella & Dot).

Screen Shot 2013-04-10 at 1.10.43 PM

Casual/ Work/ Going Out

I used this fabulous purse from Banana Republic in all 3 of my looks. It can worn as a cross-body bag, normal purse and as a clutch. Love the color, size, texture and the fact that it can be styled 3 different ways. Great versatile piece to have in your closet.

Casual- I styled this fabulous coral dress with a jean jacket and flats for a great casual, everyday look. A jean jacket is classic and is the perfect jacket to transition into Spring and Summer. It’s one of my must have pieces for both Spring and Summer.

Work- I added this great black and white blazer from Jacob to this dress and heels for a perfect office look. Black and white is a huge trend for Spring.

Going Out- I decided to add this fabulous tweed jacket from H & M to the dress for a going out look. Tweed has always been in style, it’s such a classic look, thanks to Chanel, but this Spring Tweed seems to have made a resurgence.

2. Polka Dots and Shift Dress

Dress (J Crew). Watch (Michael Kors). Arm Candy (The Bay, Stella & Dot).

Screen Shot 2013-04-10 at 1.11.42 PM

Casual/ Work/ Going Out

Casual- Again I added a jean jacket and flats to this fabulous polka dot shift dress for a casual look. Shift dresses are big again for Spring and the polka dots make it fun. It’s all about prints this Spring.

Work- I added a classic boyfriend blazer to this shift dress to make it work appropriate. A classic boyfriend blazer is a piece that transcends all 4 seasons (or if you live in Vancouver, only 2 seasons: rain and Summer :)).

Going Out- I styled the dress with a great bubble necklace from Joe Fresh and added some patent heels and great black clutch. I kept the look simple as the dress is the statement.

Here are some great Spring Trends from 4 of my favorite stores: Gap, Banana Republic, Jacob and Stella & Dot.

Spring Break and A Windy Day

22 Replies

Today is the second day of Spring Break. Yesterday I was fortunate not to have to make plans and/or figure out what to do with my son, because he still had gymnastics. A few weeks back I feverishly planned some playdates and looked for different activities, see this post, to do with my son. I want to keep both of our sanity, especially mine!!! Oh as an aside, as I am writing this (monday), banana, chocolate chip bread is baking in the oven. We have a playdate today at our house, so I thought it would be a nice treat. It smells heavenly. Can’t wait to taste it

This is what I am wearing today: a brown jersey blouse, skinny jeans and boots. I love this blouse and how versatile it is. You can wear it casually or dress it up. I took some pictures outside because it was sunny, but windy as heck. I didn’t need a wind machine, that’s for sure. I realized that my hair looks like it’s been teased ala Jersey Shore style!!! Thank you wind

Top & Jeans (R W & Co.). Boots (Browns). Necklace (Banana Republic). Purse (Mat & Nat). Bracelets (Poshlocket & Stella & Dot). Watch (Michael Kors).

Cobalt is huge again for Spring and I realized that I have quite a few cobalt pieces in my wardrobe. This is a casual way that I have worn cobalt. This is something that I would totally wear to work. The color block cobalt sweater is perfect under my scrubs. Keeps me warm without feeling too bulky.

Blazer & Blouse (R W & Co.). Jeans (J Brand c/o Aritzia). Heels (Aldo). Purse (Jacob). Necklace (Stella & Dot). Bracelets (Stella & Dot, Poshlocket). Watch (Michael Kors).

I was pleasantly surprised a few weeks back when I saw on Florence Adams Facebook page a picture of me wearing their cobalt pleated skirt.

I was googling celebrities wearing cobalt and look at what I found? ME!!!! Surprise, surprise!!! You just never know what you will find when you type in a search word on google.
