Brun et noir ensemble!

Here's Monday's outfit. I realize one thing missing from my closet is a black pencil skirt. I think I stay away from black a little too much sometimes. I definitely need to invest in some basics so black pencil skirt is going on that list! This outfit is so a hodgepodge of things threwn together. I've ben meaning to wear this blouse for the longest time but just haven't gotten around to it. I absolutely love the side ruffle detail. I've been kniting alot again and finished this hat. I'm in the process of making new headbands too, so let's hop ethat I keep up this productivity to have enough to put up in the shop! I might be jumping the gun a little since I want to keep a few for myself but hey, there's nothing wrong with being a little ambitious! And since I haven't posted one in a while, here's a remix of the items I'm wearing!  Outfit: blouse}vintage skirt}H&M cardigan}Zara Shoes} Merl's Magical wardrobe hat}me

Knit More Blog less

I've been thinking alot lately on what makes me happy. Of course, there's friends and family and warm weather and all of that stuff but I think what I was looking for is something that was missing. When Practical Princess emailed me the other day about making a headband for her, I was right on it. I found a beautiful lavender yarn and got out my bamboo needles and started knitting. I finished it so quickly that I amazed myself. And that is when it hit me, I feel happy when I'm creative, when i'm doing something with my hands, and making something unique for someone to enjoy. Naturally, I thought I need to do this more. But when? I'm already at a job that I love during the day, meet up with friends as much as I can, and keep up with life stuff. What its come down to is spend less time on the internet. I've been really trying to get back to everyone who comments on my blog, but then fell a day behind, then 2 days, now I'm about a week behind. I found that I s...

Making a Statement

First of all, a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in Canada! It's Columbus day here but I still have to get my butt to work. I guess it's fine since next month I'll have 2 1/2 days off for the US thanksgiving holiday. I just have to be patient. I'm very excited to be wearing my new flower necklace that I won from the lovely ladies over at {Have a cute day} ! I'm super happy its black as it'll go with anything, I could probably even wear it with one of my floral print dresses. (**Note to self) Go check out their blog! They're always posting great outfits and are on the up and up on all things cute! Thanks again ladies, I love the necklace you picked out for me. It's just my style!

I'm not sure if I'll be posting my outfit today. You see, it's already 1:30pm and I'm still in my housewear which includes a gray AA Deep V tee and leggings. My bangs are all over the place, I think it's due to sleeping on my stomach. So I give you pictures I took a few weeks back for a weardrobe contest, for which I did not win. I did like how the pictures came out though. Today involves giving my apartment a major overhaul. I'm going to go through some clothing and see if it's about that time to drop some off at Beacon's Closet. Oh, I just remembered I still have a store credit there! Major plus as I'm a little broke at this time and any shopping is out of the question. I also want to finish knitting a few items to post up on my Etsy, which I opened then kind of forgot about. I have to stop getting involved in all these things that I have no time for. These kind of things are usually what my weekend entails. I start it off by making a huge pot of c...

This outfit was built around my new shoes! I love them so much even though they look a little granny-ish. Well, I guess you could say that that's right up my alley.  I think they'll go great with many vintage dresses currently hanging in my closet as well, so I'm sure they'll be making some appearances in future posts! Today I'm going for a Fall theme. Trying to keep it neutral after all the color I've worn this week. I figure sometime's I need to tone it down. Hope you can appreciate that even though I'm known for my colorful wardrobe. Well thank you to everyone who's entered the giveaway so far(see below post)!! I'm happy to see that my little knitty things are in demand. I need to start knitting alot more as today's weather is definitely knit hat weather. Anyways, good luck to you all and i'm excited to find out who's the lucky person next Saturday! You've seen these items here before: Have a good weekend everyone. Outfit: Pant...
