Farrah, Jaqueline, Kate and m!

m - All of my childhood dreams have come true! These pants make me feel like one of Charlie's Angels! r was thinking about Cameron, Lucy and Drew, not me, I loved the originals then and still love them now! I am ready to fight crime and kick some ass in these pants.
I looked for these pants on line and couldn't find the exact pair, so here are similar ones:

Blue Belle

m- Honestly, Old Navy knocked it out of the park with their dress selection this season. I have never owned much from this store and generally, don't go into their retail locations, but their online selection was great and I can't believe how happy I am with my dresses (I bought four).They don't feel cheap and there are some details that I do not associate with this price point. The colour is quite bright and the fit is true to size.

Here are a few more options and all are on sale!

Drawstring Dress = Great Lunch Date

m- mmm...lunch. This dress is so comfy and ready for a proper sized meal. I was dismayed to find out that one of my super fit, gorgeous, friends wears Spanx-styled, long, undergarments, everyday. How does she eat? How can she possibly enjoy herself with Lycra and tugging and awareness of hemlines. Save it for a special day! Life is short! You're beautiful! Now, go buy a comfortable dress and meet me for lunch.

Thinking About Fall...

m- I prefer summer fashions and do not experience any giddiness when thinking about layering or spice lattes. After reading endless blogs, most of my virtual counterparts can't wait to throw on some heavy layers and pick apples. Not me, but I do understand that at some point I will need to wear heavier items and even (gasp) boots! I researched fall colours and have picked my favourite hue for the season -amethyst. A few additions here and there and I am ready:
Necklace-I have wanted a monogrammed necklace for the past two seasons and this fall it will happen. I prefer the warmth of gold for autumn.
Blouse - this blouse is available in amethyst
Blazer 
Burberry scarf - my stylish friend, L, came for a visit and so did her Burberry bag and now, I am on a Burberry kick, I have always wanted something Burberry and since I love the neckerchief trend, this silk scarf is perfect.
Quilted leopard bag -'nough said
Fringe booties.
How will you update your autumn wardrobe?

Boyfriends and Satin - daytime edition

m- This outfit has been on the blog before with different accessories and shoes. It saw rotation this week when I decided to move away from flip-flops into real shoes! One day only...

Weekly Round-Up - R Style

This summer has been crazy busy so far! This hasn't stopped me from picking up some super cute pieces. Since I have been on the go non-stop, I have been focusing on easy, low maintenance outfits. Check out some of my favourites below.

1) Printed Jumpsuit - I picked this up 20 minutes before a birthday party that I was going to. I realized that the outfit I was wearing was way to hot so I had to improvise quickly. I am glad that I did because this has turned out to be one of my favourite new outfits. It's a bit trendy so I would only add one of these to your wardrobe but I bet you will be wearing it out by the end of the summer! (I added my sun hat for my friend m, don't let that sun touch your face girls!)

2) Joggers & T-Shirt - Not going to lie, I struggled with this one a little bit. I think that I have always believed that joggers or any kind of sweats should never be worn outside of your house or the gym! I kept seeing these over and over in magazines and thought I should give them a try. I added my Nine-West wedged sandals to dress them up a bit (and because I'm petite) and it worked out great. Glad I tried it..you will be too!

3) Pop-of-Colour - This dress is so sweet and fits perfectly! The one below is a very close second! It's a bold colour choice for summer but I think that's why I fell in love with it! Pair it with some gold accessories and shoes!

4) Linen Pants - These are amazing! I love wearing them to the cottage because they are loose and breezy but they don't look frumpy. Have you ever seen Wedding Crashers? When Rachel McAdams is on the sailboat and wearing linen pants..this has inspired this outfit!

5) White pants + polka dots - My sister and I were out shopping together and both bought this polka dot shirt. I liked the deep blue flats. I thought that it kept the shirt more seasonal. However, I think the shirt will work great for a summer to fall transition.

Weekly Round-Up by m

m- Vacation = no jackets, no ironing and simple style. Here is a quick peek at some of my favourite day to day styles. When picking out an outfit for the day, I always keep the 15-51 idea in mind -since I am closer to 51 than 15, I prefer to balance out a mini or shorts with a more modest top or vice versa. Plus, I cannot be bothered with tugging, discomfort or Spanx. If it doesn't fit, is not comfortable or impedes my caloric intake, I am not wearing it!
