Sunglasses (Style Me July: Day 12)

*Sorry for missing yesterday but I was sick and not feeling well.

I have finally found my perfect pair of sunglasses after searching for many, many years. Even though  I have been wearing glasses since I was six or seven, I have only had prescription sunglasses for about five or six years. I needed to have them once I got my drivers license in order to drive and had two previous pairs.  First there was a hipster pair that were purple from Mexx and then on the other end were a super Big and slightly gaudy pair or Versace ones. I am still lucky enough to be covered under a parent's insurance but this most likely going to be the past pair that I can mooch off of them.

Basic black with small little flower detailing, they remind of the of  Jackie O sunglasses but a little smaller.
The pattern on the inside is not my favourite but it's a little better than the true old style pattern and at least it's hidden. The frame is super light, not like my Versace ones that had were always falling down due the weight of them. On all my frames I have always had the darkest lenses due to my eyes being hyper photosensitive ( sensitivity to light) and even still things can appear bright.

There are definitely times when I look the cute and cheap throwaway glasses at the drugstore and wish I could have the luxury of having multiple pairs of glasses. But at the same time it is great having one pair that goes with everything I wear.

What type of sunglasses are your favourite to wear or wish you could? I love Ray Bans but they just seem to suit my face shape.

Lot's of Love,

Gimme Your Purse!!! (Style Me July: Day 10)

I love watching what's in my bag/purse/handbag videos on YouTube, it's how I found most of the beauty gurus I subscribe to. I wanted to do something other than showing you a picture of just the bag and I don't have to do a full outfit (Yay!)

Swish Your Skirt and Retro Moment (Style Me July: Day 8 & 9)

Unfortunately yesterday I left work early due feeling sick with a major head ache and stomach pains. So hence the double day post again. Both photos were taken today and the Day 8 photo is the same outfit I wore on the actual day.

Short(s) Story (Style Me July: Day 7)

Old Navy Shorts and Top, Jules and James Fedora from Zellers,
Forever 21 Earrings, Cause & Effect Flats from The Shoe Company

I can't believe that almost a week has past since I started doing the challenge and that I am having fun doing it. The hard part is not doing basically self taken photos because I am a very independent person and don't really like asking people for help. All that aside I have kind of fallen back in love with doing my posts and hopefully after this month is done I will still make regular outfit posts.

These shorts I have for a couple years and they are one of my favourite pairs of shorts that I own. Soft fabric and in my absolute colour, purple! Absolute summer staple, year after year.

Lots of Love,

Inspirational Sunday #3

Recently I have been so mentally exhausted, tired and stressed, I would just come home and sulk/ veg out in my room. Once again Pinterest have given me inspiration to put some pep in my step and see how much I can actually do instead of sitting at a computer for even more time then when I am at work. Going to the gym, actually doing something productive and creative with my Style Me July posts, going out to do errands that during the work week instead of running around like a headless chicken on my off days. The list goes on, do anything you want to do. Most of the time we let our jobs control our lives and just exhaust ourselves to the point where we just sit and shut down when in get in the door. Get up and get out realize all the possibilities.

Lots of Love,

Channelling Audrey (Style Me July: Day 6)

The most important thing is to enjoy life - to be happy - it's all that matters

Rainbow Bright Pucker (Style Me July Day: 4 & 5)

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies...

Forever 21 Butterfly Top, American Apparel Skirt

Lately I have been gravitating more towards skirts and dresses, especially with the heat wave we have been having. I went out to dinner with a friend  and decided to make up for not posting yesterday's challenge, hence Rainbow Bright Pucker (Rainbow Bright + A Bright Pucker). My favourite part of my outfit is my butterfly shirt since butterflies are one of my favourite things. Also I feel like whenever I am feeling down or lost, I always see a butterfly and I know everything will be fine.

Spring Studded Cross Body Bag, Ellen Tracy Sandals (Winners),
L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche in 288 Intense Fuchsia

This cross body bag has been my go to bag when I go out with friends or just running errands without bringing everything I own.  The sandals are very pretty, however they are not the most comfortable so I switched to flip-flops for the shopping part of the evening. 

Lots of Love,

Keeping It Cool Trick (Style Me July: Day 3)

For today's post the theme was a little confusing for me, since it was such a general idea. It definitely was fitting for today since the high was 32 degrees Celsius (88 degrees Fahrenheit). I did wear this outfit to work, since my work is such a casual place but I did get a slight talking to flip-flops and "daisy dukes" . But it is so hot outside, I can't help it!

Belt It Up (Style Me July: Day 2)

When I hear the phrase "Belt It Up" I think more of pairing a belt with the a dress, I even had a couple options with dresses. However I just wasn't feeling in a dress mood so I went with jeggings, a tank top, a light flannel shirt and glitter knockoff toms(which were featured in another blog post) .

Summer has finally hit in Winnipeg and with a vengeance! With the humidity there has been quite a bit rain and our basement even flooded with a couple inches of water. Thankfully we had it easy compared to the province of Alberta (which is right beside us), where many people have lost their homes. My thoughts and prayers are with the people in Alberta that have lost everything from the floods.

Lots of Love,

Casual Canada Day (Style Me July Day 1: Patriotic)

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!! Oh my love for caps lock and exclamation points. I am very excited and slightly nervous for this challenge, more on actually doing the challenge every day although I have outlined various outfits and days. First of all is day number one celebrating Canada's birthday, the country that everyone loves (well at least I do).

Yes my eyes are closed, it was the only usable photo
