While the temperature in these pictures might look nice, it was quite the opposite. I froze when I took my jacket off and for this time of the year, that's very surprising... and not enjoyed! C'mon summer. We only get what, three months of you to begin with, get this cool weather outta here!
On a side note, these are my favourite flats ever. I've had them for a couple years and cannot give 'em up. I've tried to purchase other black flats, basically to enable a switch up and prolong the life of these ones, but always go back. They are my tried and true. Comfy, stylish... comfy. But then again, why would you wear flats if they weren't comfy?

FabSugar featured me in their Look of the Week!
for letting me know about this! <3 you girl!
Swatch watch (last seen here), Bay ring & necklace & thrifted clutch
I wore this out to dinner for my Aunt's birthday on Saturday night. Almost immediately after capturing these shots, my necklace broke. Not impressed. I'm hoping I can fix it with some super glue but I guess we'll see. The kicker though, is that it's one of my more expensive (costume) jewellery pieces. I certainly scored it at a deeply discounted price, but initially, it was pricey! It always amazes me when my more costly items break and the cheapie stuff outlasts it. Something is wrong with that picture.
Lastly, this top is another one of my creations, made without a pattern and I have to say, it's probably my most favourite article of clothing I've ever made (not that there are tons, but a few which you can see here, here, here, here, here & here). I've worn it twice within two weeks (which is kind of a record for me - I really try to spread things out), like this, and once to the office tucked into a pencil skirt. The cut is perfect for me (boatneck, cap-sleeve, long in the body, slightly a-line & low back), in my opinion, and it's comfortable. When I saw the fabric, I had to have it. I initially planned to make more of a tank style, but then grew ambitious and this end result was more than I hoped for.
So while doing some grocceries the other day, I of course had to peruse through the clothing department. Yes ladies, in Canada, we have a groccery store with clothes. The line is called Joe Fresh and it's super cute. They carry a variety of items at great price points, including business casual, athletica, swimware, shoes, undergarmets, accessories and more. I saw this necklace over a month ago and fell in love... but I resisted. I didn't need it per-say, as as you know, I'm trying to save for the wedding (August). Imagine my surprise when I saw it for 50% off! It was a no brainer. On top of that, I've been accumulating points (through my groccery shopping) and have been waiting to redeem them - perfect opportunity! So, I didn't fork over any cash, just used my points and left very happy (and guilt-free!).

On my way home, I was looking for somewhere different to take some photos and decided the entry way to a golf course would be great. Wrong. Since it was 'prime time', most staff were leaving (either that, or there were a lot of golfers in today's dreary-rain) and people would literally come to an almost-complete-stop and stare at me. Awkward much? I even had three people stop to see what I was doing and two to tell me it was private property - okay thennn. So I took my camera and bolted. I won't be going back there again.
On a side-note, I bought this jacket last week from the thrift store in my quest for a DIY. Once I got the jacket home and washed it, I realized I loved it too much to 'trash' it with my planned DIY. So, I've decided I will use a different jacket from my closet. So stay tuned.
* these are my | future | wedding shoes!
I know, I know, but they need to be broken in, sadly.
Thankfully I'm breaking them in too because they are killing my feet
{ there is a hook & eye for this top, as you can see, but I prefer it left open }
