Osborne Shopping Fun

If you are a fellow Winnipegger, then you know of this little place called Osborne Village. It was voted Canada's greatest neighbourhood and it is my favourite place to just walk around for hours and hours. Eventually I would love to get an apartment because everything is within walking distance and is about 5-10 minutes from the downtown area (even Osborne to me is our downtown). My sister and I went down there to check out what was in the stores stopping in some of my favourite stores such as Out of the Blue and Hush/Shout.


Out of the Blue



This store is amazing combining vintage with modern and girly, fun pieces. My sister was in heaven being that she is way more girly than I am and pulled some clothes for me to wear. I did  see a dress that I liked (one on the left) and looked so pretty on but the price was a bit more than I wanted to spend. Then I found a really cute shirt (right) but unfortunately it didn't over my bigger than average bust size. I wanted to take a pic of the dressing rooms because they are soooo adorable, it's all like old newspapers and 50's cartoons. I ended buying a shirt that my sister picked out for me, that is black and more on the dressy side. It's great for work, if my workplace had an actual dress code instead jeans and hoodies.




My outfit for our sisterly bonding trip include some of my summer basics such as my old and worn Joe Fresh jean shorts and my flowing vest from Winners. I know that flip-flops aren't normally something you see on a blogger but I have found myself wearing them on my days off. The main reason is that my work forbids them but I can still wear sandals, they just have to have a back or slippy thing.

LOL Moment of the Week


There was a moment this week that made laugh at myself and so I decided to take a page from one of my favourite bloggers Marion Berry Style.I got some new nail polish from Joe Fresh and came up with a cute yet tough manicure, all pink then shiny silver on my middle finger. Then like on the Friday I get to work look down at my hand and almost burst out laughing at my visible tan line. I have been trying a self tanner moisturizer to see if I look any different, which might work if I actually applied it every night. It's been a week since then and it's almost gone by now but this picture still make giggle. Did you have moment during the week that made you smile or just laugh hysterically?

Lots of Love & Glamour,
