My Black Friday Purchases, Part 1: The Little Black Dress

On Black Friday, I purchased a couple of items from Peacock Parade's Black Friday sale. Both items have arrived, but this post is for the BIG ITEM, a black Greta Constantine dress. The dress's very different look from what I typically purchase as well as the deep discount (original price, according to Peacock Parade was just under $1,200 - bought it at $269 before taxes) both caught my eye.

Pleats, Polka Dots and Feathers

Three trends that I've been seeing lately are pleats, polka dots and feathers.  Normally I would say to take ONE trend and go with it.  But is it possible to incorporate three trends at once?  I managed to figure out a way to do it pretty subtly.

Pleats and Navy: These are a few of my favorite things

I'm a true "girly girl" and have always had a thing for pleats.  I've also always been drawn to grey.  Is is sad that essentially it's my favorite colour?  It's by no means a reflection of my mood :P But lately I've been gravitating towards navy.

I loved this pleated skirt as soon as I laid eyes on it and it fit me perfectly too!  The ONLY issue was the zipper.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Feeling Pretty

You know how there are just some pieces in your wardrobe that always make you feel pretty?  Well this LOFT top I bought from Extra Petite (see post here) is definitely one of them.  I think it's the pretty colours and it just makes me feel happy - and when you're happy you feel pretty, am I right?

A BELATED What I Wore at LG Fashion Week - Day 5

I've been crazy-busy wrapping up LG Fashion Week and wasn't able to post up my Friday outfit until right now.  Yes, it's finally being posted - it's me in that FCUK dress I posted about last week...what do you think?

Mustard and Turquoise

So...here's a question...how do you come up with blog post titles?  This title is based on the main colours of this outfit - nothing creative here!  I was inspired by Kelly's use of colour from Petite Fashion Challenge #5 .  I just LOVED how the mustard cardigan was paired with the turquoise necklace - such a great colour combination!

My (Mini) H&M Haul!

Last week, the H&M store at Toronto's Yonge and Bloor area played host to a fundraiser shopping night for a charity called Windfall, which focuses on new clothing.  I was there to cover the event for my lifestyle site, DelectablyChic! and also decided to do some shopping.  I purchased three items, a skirt, a cardigan and short trench, all which were 15% for that night only (prices listed below are original list prices, not post-discount).
