Pink, White & Stripes

A few weeks back, Mother Nature decided to be kind to us and she showered us with sunshine and a beautiful warm day. I decided to break out my white skirt for the occasion. I love this skirt because the fabric is thick but not too warm and it has lining underneath so that you don’t have to worry about showing the world your underwear colour. Here’s hoping for some more hot weather coming our way.

I’ve got some exciting news. We finally got a new camera!!! We got a Canon Rebel T3i. So excited!!!!!! I’m still trying to get the hang of it and learn all the different settings, but I’m really looking forward to having better pictures of my outfits. I can’t believe the difference it makes having a good camera. Don’t get me wrong a point and shoot is a great camera but it doesn’t compare to the quality of an SLR camera. My favourite feature is the ability to take continuous pictures. I took like 20 pictures of my son jumping on his trampoline, all taken at various different stages of his jump. Played back, it looks like a mini movie. I love it. I’m hoping to have some new fashion posts taken with the camera this week!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day.

May this blog inspire you to purchase a fabulous white skirt for Spring/Summer.

Mother’s Day & Urban Decay Eye Palette Giveaway

Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is this Sunday and my husband has promised me that I am going to love it. It’s been a very hectic couple of weeks and we haven’t had any down time, so my husband promises Sunday to be a very relaxing day for us, especially for me. Honestly all I want for Mother’s day is to spend it with my 2 favourite people: my husband and son, to be with them without any distractions and to honestly not have to cook or clean. I can’t wait!!!!! :)

Mother's Day

For me being a mother has been the most rewarding, frustrating, emotionally draining experience of my life. It has taught me patience beyond anything that I thought I was capable of. It has shown me that just when I think I can’t give anymore, I can. As a mom I have reserves saved for days where I just don’t think I can do it anymore. Being a mother to my son fills me absolute joy and love and wonderment. I stop myself and look at my son and realize that I made this amazing being. It also terrifies me think that I’m also 100% responsible for him, to raise him, to guide, to nurture him. It has not been easy, filled with lots of bumps and many, many, many mistakes along the way, but I wouldn’t change any of it.

So this Mother’s Day, please take some time for yourself, to reflect on your role as a mother, to rejuvenate yourself and thank yourself for being the best mom you can be. Most importantly HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!!!!!!!

Shorts 5 Ways

20 Replies

I’m so excited for shorts season to finally begin. The weather here has been taunting us. Mother Nature gives us a couple of gorgeous days, and then takes it back and gives us cold and the rain. But ever the optimist, I’m hoping that in a few weeks the warm weather will be here to stay. When I think of Summer, I think of shorts. I think of getting my pasty white legs tanned. I love that shorts come in all shapes, sizes and lengths. Gotta say that I’m kind of liking the short shorts, not the Daisy Duke kind, but the ones that still flatter those of us that are over 30 and are mothers. Below are 5 different ways I styled shorts.

Shorts

Style it with a blazer, shorts and wedges

Shorts

Blazer (RW & Co.). T-Shirt & Necklace (J Crew). Shorts (Reitmans). Wedges (Aldo).

Style it with a white tee and sandals

Shorts & T-Shirt (Gap). Sandals (Aldo). Purse (Coach).

Style it with a blouse layered under a sweater and wedges

Shorts

Blouse (Gap). Sweater & Purse (J Crew). Shorts (Reitmans). Wedges (Steve Madden). Bracelet (Gigglosophy).

Style it with a printed blouse

Shorts

Shorts (RW & Co.). Blouse (Gap). Necklace (Coach). Purse (J Crew). Sandals (Aldo).

Style it with a tank top and fedora

Shorts

Tank Top & Shorts (RW & Co.). Fedora (Aritzia). Sandals (Aldo). Purse (J Crew). Necklace (Stella & Dot). Bracelet (Henry Lou).

Below are 8 great affordable options from Old Navy:

Shorts

1/ 2/ 3/ 4

Shorts

1/ 2/ 3/ 4

All of these shorts are on sale until May 7 for $15.

I was not sponsored by Old Navy. This is just a great deal and wanted to share it with others.

Shorts are not just for the park anymore. You can dress them up with a blazer and heels or dress them down with a simple white tee and sandals. There are so many different ways you can wear shorts. My favourite way is to add a blazer, t-shirt and wedges. Shorts are so versatile and will make a great addition to your wardrobe. Try getting a printed pair and see all the fabulous outfits you can make.

May this blog inspire you to purchase some shorts this Spring and see all the great outfits you can create.
