Butterflies & Stripes






Outfit Details:
Blazer & Bag - H&M
Blouse - Zara
Shorts & Shoes - UO

While I could talk for hours and hours about the disturbing series of events that occurred in Vancouver last night, I won't. I don't want to give anymore attention to the pathetic excuses for human beings involved in the destruction. I do however want to say thank you to all of the police and citizens who put themselves in danger last night trying to stop the madness, as well as the amazing volunteers who have spent today trying to clean our city up.

Now onto far less serious fashion related chatter. I've been loving all of the mixing of prints that have been going on in the fashion world but I feel like my closet is such a bizarre mix of prints so I haven't felt inspired to pair any of them together. When I reviewed the random pieces of my wardrobe that I have at Mike's place, this butterfly blouse and stripped blazer stood out to me. Paired with shorts it turned out to be a really fun outfit to wear on a sunny day when I really needed a mood booster.

The delicious cookie that the lovely people at Earl's Yaletown gave me after my lunch today also helped lift my spirits. While a chocolate chip cookie can't make up for the serious events that have taken place, it sure did take my mind off of it for a few minutes!

I Miss Tights




Outfit Details
Top: Gap
Shorts: Winners
Loafers: Zara
Bag: H&M
Necklace: F21
Belt: Jacob

I never thought I'd say this but... I miss tights. My legs just look better covered up in black stretchy material. When they say black is slimming I think it holds true for black tights. They make my short stubby legs look longer and leaner. Now that I have to expose my pale bruised legs to the world I'm wondering why I was so anxious to stop covering them up?

I am not a fan of tanning and I after I turned 28 and started freaking out about aging badly I started wearing spf 95 to prevent sun damage so at this point I don't have much hope on getting a tan. Any suggestions for self tanners that won't go orange or streaky? I've worn one brand before but in pictures I looked like an oompa loompa. I guess the other option is to just rock the pale stumpy legs, but I think I'll keep that as a last resort.

Go Canucks Go!

The atmosphere is difficult to describe. I love how united the city is right now!

*It's difficult to see but my jacket is from Plum. I'll make sure to get a better photo of it soon. I love it!
