I came across this fantastic shop online called, Spotted Moth.  They sell women's clothing and have everything from skirts to accessories to tops and dresses (and more!).  The price points are pretty good and I could not stop drooling over this scalloped skirt:

Mexx Cardigan, A.Co Designs ruffled top, H&M skirt, Promise shoes,
birthday gifted belt, Aldo necklace, Bay bangle & Tiffany bracelet

I can't seem to get enough of ruffles (seen here & here, and for purchase here), and this day was no different.  I made this top with some lilac-coloured chiffon I found at the fabricstore.  Initially, I was planning on making a  multi-tiered tank, but my mind wasn't working in that direction and of course wandered to what else? Ruffles!

Good news: the fiancĂ© & I went out and he bought us a new camera!  Yipee!  So, although it wasn't used to take these pictures (because, you know, we have to charge the battery, and wait, etc.), I'll be back to clearer shots in no time.  However, I couldn't pass up showing you guys my latest project.


Banana Republic dress, Aldo pumps (last seen here) & ring, Loeffer Randall bag,
thrifted silk scarf, Costa Blanca bangle & unknown necklace (bought it on vacation in Orlando)

Well ladies, there is good news and there is bad news.  The good news is that my fiancĂ© is back from his bachelor party in Vegas (phew!).  He's in one piece, tanned, a home safe.  The bad news?  He broke our camera within 10 minutes of getting off the plane in Sin City.  Ahhhh.

So I get a phone call, the first day he's there.  He sounds excited and happy; him and the boys (15 of them!) were checking everything out and had stopped to do some shopping.  His voice then turns nervous and he says, 'I feel really bad though, I have to tell you something... something happened... I did something...' ... I start to panick, thinking, 'Something happened already?! It's only been 10 hours!?'  But to my (somewhat) relief, he tells me he broke our camera.  I'm immediately relieved and then almost instantly crushed (which I try to hide with the, 'Oh, it's okay, um, we can get a new one... don't worry...').  My camera.  Our camera.  My life line.  My blog!!?  All of my friends call me 'the paparazzi' because I'm the one in the group always snapping shots, constantly (so much that they are often annoyed - ha!).  Anyways, long story short, that explains the grainy iPhone pictures.  The plan is to go out and look for another camera tomorrow, so, stay tuned my lovely readers.



PS - I just want to send a huge thank-you to all my amazing readers and followers. 
Your comments put a smile on my face, each and everyone of them, thank you! 
Also, as I've mentioned to some of you, I'm unable to access blogs
(and if by chance I can, I'm unable to comment) during the day,
but am doing my best to keep up with all of your
awesome blogs in the evening!

On the weekend, I went with some friends (SD & ED) to a consignment shop in an up-and-coming (rich) neighbourhood.  She'd been a few weeks earlier and raved about the Coach, Badgley Mischka & Louis Vuitton she'd seen (at much cheaper prices, of course).  This time didn't seem as fruitful (or so they said), but I still managed to get this fantastic Lily Pulizter top and they picked up a couple things along with some great pumps.

I didn't purchase the Club Monaco tweed skirt
in the picture, but certainly was tempted.

The man and I love us some sushi and take any opportunity we can to dine at our favourite sushi spot.  We always get a load of sushi and drinks we don't normally drink anywhere else (me: plum wine martini, him: Sapporo beer).  The evening, of course, wouldn't be complete without a trip to Dairy Queen for dessert!
