true blue baby

Posing for blog photos; a work in progress..

This is what I wore to a baby shower last weekend. I wish I took pictures of the mommy-to-be's outfit because her maxi dress was goorgeouss; a soft aqua-green halter top cut gown that flowed over her cute belly down to the floor. It was a fun afternoon, and we enjoyed a few cocktails and appys while catching up with friends and playing games.
I've been looking for a sheer shirt for the longest time. Everyone and their mom have the sheer white ones, but I haven't been able to find one! I stumbled upon this royal blue one at F21. The shirt is longer in the back than it is in the front, which I love. I didn't want to do the typical solid cami underneath, so I opted for a lace one that peeks through, thanks to the suggestion from the girl at Costa Blanca! The skinnies are from Zara and have the perfect stretch in them. The zippers at the ankle and on one of the pockets add abit of edge to an otherwise plain pair of pants. The shoes from Aldo are my go-to badass stilettos. The BCBG clutch and Michael Kors rubber chronograph watch are birthday gifts from some of my best girls. I may have been a tiny bit spoiled this year :]

My pleased face.

Hello lovelies. Had to jump on the coloured jeans trend! This one was easy though; I've always had a thing for salmon/coral. This looks especially good on tanned skin!...I'm not tanned. 

My favourite part of these jeans are the zipper pockets in the back, which of course, I didn't show; boo.

Naturally, with the sun shining all weekend, I pretended to play summer; I ran, played some sports, bladed, drank beverages, and wore sandals. What a smart move because as soon as these pictures were taken, the sun went down, and I froze my piggies off sitting on the patio at the Burrard Bridge Bar on Beach Avenue sipping on my beer, while trying to look cool. It was so cold, I had to order more alcohol. I know; what bad luck. Btw, the Portabello mushroom burger is O-somme. Hope everyone is having an inspiring week.

On another note: I need to update the look of my blog! Wallpaper full of puppies? Suggestions?

Another another note: I am the worst run on sentence writer eveR.

No, not really. Quite the opposite in fact. This weekend, Urban Behaviour and Costa Blanca are both having their annual friends and family event. From Friday, November 12th to Monday, November 15th, you'll receive 50% off everything in the store.

 

Hoping to beat the rush, I went to UB today and it was Christmas holidays bizzee in there. With no change rooms open due to the event, I had to slip things on over my sweatshirt in hopes that it'll look better at home.
Tip: wear a thin top when you go to these things. How I don't remember this by now is beyond me. haha

Anyway, 2.5 hours later, I came home with these pretty things:

L-R: Floral ruffle top: UB | Shredded cardigan: UB | Blue feather earrings: UB | Trouser pants: F21 | Feather earrings: F21

Close-up of the floral top. Have yet to truly try this on, but the colour, print and ruffles? I made a beeline for it. $14.90

The cobalt blue colour caught me eye and after 50%, it was only $2.90. Will look light years better after I remove the rhinestone strings!

First thing I grabbed in the store. Love the shredded, broken look of the cardigan. $17.90

Okay, too broken. I didn't realize how big that hole was in the cardigan until I took this pic. I probably did this to myself when I tried to force it on top of my sweatshirt. hah

I ended up skipping Costa Blanca because it was packed to the brim in there. Oh, and it looked like there was only one mirror.

Finally jumping on the trouser wagon, I went to check out Zara. I thought I found the perfect one! Navy blue, hem looks good rolled up and down and a cute paperbag waist that just begs to be shown off. But when I turned around, (and ladies, always turn around) it made me look like I had a huge butt (and not the good kind). I should've taken a pic so you guys can laugh at my expense..

I ended the day with a routine stop at F21 and found a slim fit pair for $23.90. The waist detail is so adorable and best of all, the pants don't make my butt look big-ger. Yay.

And because I all of a sudden developed an obsession for feather earrings, I picked up another pair. hehe $4.90

The fact that they didn't look perfect made me want to buy them more.

So my grand total came out to be about $70. Not bad for a starving student;) Hope you guys are able to find some great things! Happy weekend loves!
