Trend Alert! Boston Terriers

As you know my co-blogger is a Boston Terrier named Zeke. I also have another one named Cooper. I was overjoyed when I saw that Boston Terriers have now invaded the fashon scene for fall. I have already bought the tank from H&M and am looking for the others. Would you wear anything with a Boston on it? If so what?

Love It Or Leaf It! Why Not Both?

I have always loved leaves. I also love autumn too. Could the reason be because I was born on a chilly autumn day? Well whatever the reason here are my current favourite leafy items. 

Old Navy $30

Spring $10

Old Navy $16

Dynamite $17

Suzy Shier $25

Old Navy $30

Do you find any of these leafy items interesting? I like all of them but am partial to the dress and shorts from Old Navy and the shoes from Suzy Shier.

Skirting The Issue

I normally don't update on a Tuesday, but wearing this skirt from H&M sure put a spring in my step and inspired me. On a hot summer day nothing is better than a skirt. You will notice that my Boston Cooper is in one of the shots. She was supposed to stay inside, but she wanted to be a part of things. I guess she thinks she's some kind of star because I featured her in a previous entry. It begins...

Happy shopping!

I can't live without my...

...maxi-dress! There I've admitted it. Whew! 

The story goes like this:

• back in 2009 I bought black maxi-dress
• I wear it once for a photoshoot
• said dress sits in my closet for a few years
• last week I "discover" the dress
• I wear it non-stop everywhere
• I want/need to buy other maxi-dresses as this is my only one

Here are the reasons I love this dress sooooooooo much:

• comfortable
• stylish
• cool because it's been so hot outside
• easy to get dressed
• able to change the look by wearing different accessories
• versatile - you can dress it up or down depending on where you'd like to wear it

Now before you head out to get your very own keep in mind that this is not a look for shorter people. If you are shorter than 5'7" then go for a knee-length version instead so you don't look dumpy. As for re-creating my look, my necklace I recently got on ebay here, my bracelet was a gift from a friend, and my jean jacket was from WAL-MART a couple months ago for $25 - you can find a comparable one at Old Navy for $35. I bought the dress, shoes, and purse so long ago that they'd no longer be in stores. You can find a comparable dress at Old Navy for $30, shoes at Aldo for $50, and the purse on ebay - you decide the price as it's an auction item. 

Happy shopping!

My Finds At A Recent Second Hand Event

On Saturday I had the privilege of attending loved. - a fashion bargain event which raised money for iHuman here in Edmonton. Here is everything that I bought:

What I bought - The navy top, the ring, the clutch, and the hat. 
What is cool - The clutch is actually made out of newspaper and has an article about WAL-MART on the inside!

What I bought - The dress and the necklace.
What is cool - The necklace has a photo of Norma Jeane who later became Marilyn Monroe.

What I bought - The cardigan and both necklaces.
What's cool - My Boston Terrier Cooper modelling for her first time ever. Doesn't she look pretty in the other necklace I bought?

And now for what's super cool - all of this for $15! WOO-HOO!!!!!!!

Check Out My Haul

Yes lately I have been shopping it up! The "in" thing right now is to show off your haul - as in what you have bought on recent shopping excursions. So here's my haul:

Rainbow Shoes $30 Caprice Consignment

I just had to buy these when my friend showed them to me. They definitely will go with everything. I just can't pass up a double rainbow. What does it mean?!?!?

Necklace $6 Reitmans

Was at Reitmans to buy the multi-coloured blouse but just had to buy this braided two-toned silver necklace. It will look great with anything and was 50% off.

Black Sleeveless Blouse $30 Reitmans

I bought this specifically to wear with my white skirt. I really like wearing black on top and white on the bottom because I'm big on top and tiny on the bottom. Because black makes you look smaller and white makes you look bigger, this combination balances me out.

Multi-Coloured Sleeveless Blouse $30 Reitmans

I bought this to go with the cute pairs of coloured jeans I bought in cobalt blue and in teal. It will also look great with my white capris.

Yellow Polka-Dot Dress $17 Value Village

I bought this dress after searching everywhere for something to wear to my brother's wedding. Leave it to a second hand store to solve my problems.

So I hope my new stash has inspired you. What are you looking to add to your closet?
