My work held a Pancake Tuesday for employee appreciation and it was great!  Of course a favourite work friend of mine and I headed down to the cafeteria to take advantage of it.  Along with the pancakes they were serving coffee and tea but I had to get my favourite drink instead: milk.

Unknown top, Zara pants, thrifted belt (last seen here), Aldo necklace (last seen here) & ring,
unknown bangles & GAP wedges (last seen here)

These are certainly my go-to shoes - are you getting sick of seeing them?  I can't help it, I love 'em.  When I want to wear heels, but want to be comfy, I can count on these.  When my pants aren't quite long enough for my average heeled shoes (higher than these), I head straight for these ones.  When I'm in doubt, I pull these out.  What can I say?  I'm a sucker for my leopard-printed peep-toe wedges, they are just so great (and comfy!).  I've had them for about two years and I'm just kicking myself for not buying two pairs... but I couldn't have even if I had wanted to - there was only one size 10 left and I swiped them up immediately.  So glad I did!


PS - A very special thank you to all you amazing blog friends for your super 
sweet comments on my wedding post yesterday - you made my day!
 
 





Stitches cardi & skirt, H&M top, AE cami, Spring gladiators (last seen here) & Bijoux Terner necklace

I bought this top from H&M three years ago and am still loving it.  I am always surprised when I hold on to something for years and still actually rock it.  It seems like when you're growing up, you don't tend to hold onto things very long, mainly because you are growing, but also because peer pressure often forces us to believe you can't hold onto things.  However, I also think, as we get older (and wiser), our tastes develop and I don't know about you, but I find myself purchasing things and knowing it's going to be around for some time.

You can see the 'ugly people' I was talking about above }

For our wedding, I wanted to be as crafty as I could to really personalize our special day (and save money). I started shopping early on (well, not that early considering we planned our wedding in five months) and would hit up various thrift stores, at least weekly in my hunt for picture frames.  Once I had a good variety, I grabbed some metallic silver spray paint from the local hardware store, and went to work. The finished product looked so great at the wedding. We displayed our engagement shoot photos in the frames, which we had kept a secret from everyone until that day.

purple for fall

Hi everyone, I'm Angie from Confessions of a Miami Shopaholic.  I am extremely honored to guess blog for Amanda while she's off enjoying her honeymoon!! Congrats to you and M on your recent nuptials!

As most of you are aware the Fall season is quickly approaching, where has the summer gone?! In an effort to get ready for the fall trends you all must know what color will be the it color this season and a statement setter. This up coming Fall season violets, purples, and all shades of plum are all over the run way! These hues have always been an "it" colour during the Fall season, but this year you will see more of it everywhere! 

{ Dark purple booties are a must have for fall }


{ This round tow pump is a trend setter in the right shade of purple suede }


{ This wrap around stiletto screams sexy - I just added it to my fall wardrobe }


What do you think of this hue as one of the "it" colors for this Fall season? Will you add violet and plum to your fall attire? I know I will!
