Red Lips

I have always thought that every girl should have red lipstick. That perfect shade. I think I finally found mine. What do you think?

Exciting!

I am finally biting the bullet and entering my first Weardrobe contest. This one is to take an item of clothing and style it twice - once for daytime, once for evening. Here's what I did!

This is actually a thrifted lambswool and angora skirt that I often wear as a dress but is also great worn long with a matching turtleneck and black boots in the fall or, again as a dress, with colourful flats, a scarf and belt in summer.

Day:
- Lambswool and angora skirt (worn as a dress): thrifted
- Long black jacket: Jacob
- Tan ostrich pattern belt: Banana Republic
- Nude shoes: Aldo
- Gold bracelet: thrifted
- Faux pearl necklace: vintage



Evening:
- Lambswool and angora skirt (worn as a dress): thrifted
- Red belt: bought somewhere in Chiang Mai, Thailand
- Bronze bracelet: Banana Republic
- Black heels: Aldo

The jumper

I've been wishy-washy over the whole jumper phenomenon - until I saw this one by Grey Ant (eBay chiclittledevil). I love that, even though it's a one-piece, the top is separated from the bottom with button detail, which makes it work for me. I'm also a fan of the minimal accessorizing - bracelets with a bare neck. Très chic.

Giving in

I'm an avid fashion blog follower so, after much time spent in front of the computer, I thought I would dive in there myself - if for no other reason than to have my blogroll all in one place rather than always having to sift through my favourites (yes, I'm Canadian, that's how I spell "favourites").
