I found this beautiful sheer and opaque striped maxi dress on the weekend (at Sirens) and like all maxis, it was too short for me. I couldn't pass up the eye-catching fabric though and decided to purchase it for $19 and re-fashion it into a maxi skirt.
It turned out beautifully and I can't wait to wear this on vacation and come summer!
More steps after the jump if you're interested in how I did this...

* Old Navy blouse (purchased in November; available in maternity HERE) with Smart Set cami underneath.
* H&M skinny denim which you've seen with OTK boots (when I first purchased them two years ago), with a dolphin top (a favourite post!) and also with . On a side note, these are one of my fanciest denim, and I love 'em but they barely have any stretch which makes them pretty uncomfortable.
* Aldo suede wedges which you've seen with
*Accessories: J.Crew bubble necklace.
Today is the day, you guys! Today is the day I'm (supposed) to be buying my car (eep!). I'm so excited and provided everything pans out, I will be driving her tomorrow; so so soo excited! I'll keep you posted!
Okay, this is a little bit of a weird one this week, but I heard this discussed on the radio and was shocked at what I heard.
The morning show I listen to, has two men and two women. The men were all for shower peeing, claming it saves time, is sterile, and isn't a big deal. The two women were totally grossed out and did not agree.
I spoke to a few of my friends before posting this, wondering if I should go there, and most of the girls I asked said they did, but one said, 'I bet 60% of women do but half won't admit it'.
I personally don't think there is anything wrong with it, and totally 'go there'. I mean, why waste time (and toilet paper) if you don't have to? (Haha)
Are you brave enough to Chat about this?
Hi you guys! OMG, between craziness at work and getting down to the wire with purchasing a car, this week has been nutty; and it's only Tuesday!
So, as you know, I sold my car and fortunately, one of my good friends has lent me her (super sick) ride for the week while she frolicks in Mexico.
I'm finalizing the details of my new car this week and if all goes well, I should have it (and some pictures) to share with you all come the weekend! Wish me luck!
Work wear.
Outfit deets: Urban Planet top (first time I've worn this) & H&M dark red waxed pants.
Friday night I celebrated Valentines' Day with a special someone at Gezellig. This was the beef tartar appetizer (ah-mazing).
Getting dressed for a date in the winter is so difficult! The shoes can really make or break an outfit and I'm constantly in the same over-the-knee flat boots. Anyone else agree?
It was freezing on Friday, but the roads were dry so I took advantage and wore my faux-suede cap-toe flats (but would have preferred heels had I not been faced with potentially climbing over curb-snow banks).
Outfit deets: Everybuying jacket, F21 skirt, Mexx snood, unknown gloves, Ardène clutch & flats.
Little Peanut.
On Saturday I spent the day shopping for my next vlog and picked up several items for Spring (which you will see soon!).
Outfit deets: Joe Fresh cardigan (old), Old Navy slip (worn as a top, old), Zara faux leather pants, Pier 1 ring, Ardène flats, vintage necklace & Cleo belt.
Later that evening, my family surprised me with a month-early birthday dinner celebration! We had my favourite meal (turkey dinner) and my mom made the cake you see above. I was so shocked as I thought it was just going to be a family dinner of six and ended up being nine people instead!
My birthday is not till March, but it was so nice to celebrate early!
Sunday brunch with the bff (look guys, it's a different meal! Ha!).
Afterwards, my bestie and I did some shopping and I used up a gift card I got for Christmas. I picked up a maxi dress (which I will sew into a skirt, as the dress isn't long enough for me) and a necklace and didn't spend a penny of my own money.
Sarah joked that these sunglasses from Boathouse looked like 'Blue Blockers'; haha, remember those!? (Update: and apparently BB's are way more stylish these days)
Sunday shopping outfit.
Outfit deets: Ardène pashmina, Zara sweater (the sweater in my header!), Sirens trapeze top & leggings and Rampage boots.
Sunday evening dinner: tomato, avocado, cucumber & Buffalo mozza cheese salad.
