Outfit deets:
* F21 top (new-ish) which I've worn a couple times now and am afraid to wash it (eep). It's that weird rayon material and I bought a beautiful hunter-green top in the same fabric in the winter, wore it once, washed it and it shrunk so bad I could never wear it again (and so it got consigned). I didn't even put it in the dryer. Such a disappointment. So you can understand why I'm a little apprehensive about this one (but hell-o, I can't keeping wearing it without washing it).
* Sirens shorts (old) that I've had for about a year and this was my first time wearing them (ripped the tags off that morning, but, I do that.
* Aldo wedges (old).
* Accessories: unknown earrings (old), F21 & gifted bangles.

We went to see Katy Perry 3D on Friday night. Super good movie & very interesting.
I could have skipped the 3D part of it, but it was still cool.
Outfit deets: Dynamite top, Urban Planet skirt & DIY cap-toe flats.
Afterwards, we went out for beer & pizza on a packed patio.
Saturday I ran around prepping for Sunday's Bridal Shower for my sister.
Outfit deets: Old Navy top, Sirens shorts (new!), Bamboo sandals & Gucci shades.
The veggies & dip I made for the shower.
Special gifts for the bride-to-be.
This happened last week, and I only shared on Instagram,
but it's so fun, how can I not share here too!?
Ended up going out Saturday night at the last minute with a
bunch of people & danced the night away.
Outfit deets: H&M top, DIY denim shorts, DIY Aldo wedges & Old Navy clutch
My new dress for the bridal shower & J.Crew bubble necklace.
Amazing lemon-blueberry cupcakes by one of the bridesmaids.
Champagne showers...
The tradition in our family at bridal showers (my sister).
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!

* 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.

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!
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
Outfit deets:
* Joe Fresh top (new!).
* Parasuco jeans (via Marshalls) which I've worn considerably, but not yet on the blog.
* Payless heels which are new-ish and have been worn with a purple dress (what is it with these shoes and purple!?).
* Accessories: vintage necklace, A.Co Designs charm bracelet & Old Navy bangle.
Do you make lists for when you shop? Or perhaps, make a note of certain things you're looking for?
I don't. I just go where the retail therapy takes me, however lately, while clothes shopping, I have been on specific hunts for certain items. Lately I've noticed some gaps in my closet (is that possible?) and have been narrowing my search down.
Things I have been shopping for lately:
* More purple (specifically: lavender skinnies)
* Tops with sleeves (like the one I'm wearing)
* Skirts for the office that are longer
It's interesting as I can certainly see why I ended up with so many sleeveless shirts (and so few with sleeves), as I tend to grab for those first. I find though, with a list (in my head, at least), I am more apt to focus on what I'm looking for, versus simply buying because it's beautiful.
Thoughts?
Not exactly part of the weekend, but Thursday (impromptu) night out with the girls for food.
Outfit deets: H&M top, Sirens skirt, Zara jacket (thrifted) & Bamboo sandals
Fish 'n chips with the girls.
Friday night dinner: steak salad
The girls and I (seven of us) went to see Magic Mike on Friday night (entertaining movie!). Afterwards, we grabbed some beer & nachos on a patio.
Rockin' my DIY cut off denim (these used to be men's jeans that I thrifted).
After signing the paperwork & giving my deposit, here I am putting the 'Reserved' sticker on the floor plan for my new condo. Such an exciting day!
Some congratulatory tokens from my uber sweet friends.
Saturday night was a night for celebrating!
Outfit deets: Charlotte Russe top, H&M skirt, Dynamite belt, Old Navy clutch & Diva Lounge Wedges
...and this is what happens when you dance the night away and wake up the next morning. #SprayTanProblems
L.A. Express Earrings ($8)
I bought these earrings at Sirens on Friday night. I hated the white beads on them but seeing past that, I knew I could modify them. I love the idea of spike earrings, don't own any, and the price was right on these. I took them home, removed all the spikes and beads, and re-strung the spikes back on the hoops. Et voila! Much nicer.
