Oopsie!  I could not resist, though; J.Crew is having a 40%-off-the-sale-price sale and so I jumped on the opportunity to scoop up some No. 2 Pencil Skirts.

They retail normally for $135 and I got mine for $36 each (what!).

Additionally I used Ebates and am getting 6% back on my full purchase.  Will share more when the skirts come in.  Exciting, exciting!

To take advantage, use promo code OURTREAT at the checkout until July 18.


* Thanks to Veronika for always gushing about these skirts.  Also, she suggests you size down; I went with a size 8.


I know I don't normally do this, but when your BBFF is competing in a really cool contest that is being run by Project Runway Alums, you do everything you can to help a sistah out.

Jamie (you might recognize her from Glam Latte or The Wear to Go Girls), is up against another blogger in a style contest and if she wins, she has the opportunity to go to Fashion Week.  As a fashion lover, how amazing would that be?  You know it would be amazing. 

Here's how you can help (it's free!):
* Visit the Project Style page
* Sign up with your email (don't worry, you can opt out of newsletters if you'd like)
* Verify your email

Voting started today and you can vote once per day.  

Thanks to all that vote.

 Outfit deets:
* Lori B dress (thrifted).
* Costa Blanca blazer which I've had for about a year now but haven't worn it on the blog.
* Smart Set cami (I own these in all colours of the rainbow because once upon a time I was obsessed with them).
* Diva Lounge wedges (you know I love these) which you've seen with white skinnies & two different white dresses.
* Accessories: F21 belt, H&M bangle, Foster Grant shades & Dollarama ring.

What are you doing for the weekend?  I'm hosting my sister's bridal shower on Sunday and have lots of last minute prep to do for that.  Otherwise, heading to the Katy Perry movie with some girlfriends tonight with some snacks and drinks afterwards.  A great kick start to the weekend.  Have a great one!


Happy Friday the 13th!

(I'm wearing a top I made myself)
Outfit deets:
* Costa Blanca top (new & thrifted) which I have in white and seen with a black, lace (thrifted) pencil skirt.  I bought the white one many years ago in a size small.  This black one is an extra large.  The white one is far too tight for my liking (it looks pretty tight in these pictures, but I liked it like that, back then) now so I'm happy I found it in black as it's such a pretty top.  Smart Set cami underneath.
* Tribal skirt (thrifted) which I've worn twice already (love it) but this is the first time on here.
* Guess pumps (which you've seen a million times).
* Accessories: Emily Elizabeth Jewelery necklace, Joe Fresh bangle (gifted from my sister for my birthday), F21 bangles & Gucci shades.

Wednesday!  Hoorah!  Middle of the weekend closer than ever to the weekend.

This week has been kind of a slow week, and yet I feel so exhausted.  On Monday evening, my girl friend and I helped another friend start packing up her place (she's moving in a month) and she made us an amazing dinner.  Afterwards we indulged in The Bachelorette and strawberry shortcake.  While I've been hoping to get some sewing done, it just hasn't happened, but I have stayed on top of my dishes, which is pretty incredible (my nemesis).

This weekend is my sister's bridal shower and I couldn't be more excited.  It was a surprise, but unfortunately someone ruined it (doesn't that just make you so mad when that happens!?), however, it's still going to be an amazing day.  So between doing last minute prep for that, getting organized and enjoying the beautiful weather, well, I guess it's understandable that I could use some extra shut eye.  But, it's summer, and I always say, 'Who cares, it's summer!  We can sleep come winter!'  And it's true.  I want to make the  most of my summer, even if that means being a little more tired than normal as these are the best days of our lives and we should enjoy them!  

Have a wonderful day.  xo
