Spin my Head right Around

IMG_3610IMG_3606

J took these shots this weekend so I could show you guys this new cardi courtesy of my papa as a little gift. We all went shopping for his luggage (mom, dad and me) and he bought my mom and I a couple shirts and luggage for himself ….I really love how easy it is to throw on and it can transition from work to everyday wear depending on what you pair it with. Also, with this massive heat wave I really love the idea of just throwing up my hair…which is what I have been doing…=)

This weekend has been crazy –hot, humid, full of rain and crazy lightening! I love this sort of weather especially at night when J and I are just relaxing at home…Last night J and I just sat on his rooftop patio and enjoyed natures “performance”….

Tonight will probably consist of relaxing with mama and watching a movie, painting my nails a new crazy colour and sipping on some chamomile tea before bed….we will probably watch my Best Friends Wedding…love anything Julia Roberts!

P.s. The bachelorette was amazing for those of you that asked! We had a booth at Muzik nightclub which I highly recommend if you are ever in Toronto and looking for a fun club with a party atmosphere. A little pricey but perfect for a bachelorette….we ate sushi, cake and of course…..there was alcohol….lots of alcohol..I will see if I can get some pictures….I rarely bring my camera to clubs because I always end up losing my things :s

I love how you have been putting your hair up! It looks so cute and sounds like the party was fun! Looking forward to seeing some pictures and what you wore

lola said...

love the outfit...and your hair...it always looks so nice...i am jealous...xoxo

Najeema said...

Love the outfit and really love it with flats!

MakiMaki Vintage said...

you look amazing with your hair up! love the cardigan, your papa sounds sweet.
nothing really justifies the price of a balenciaga, but....... the flat handle clutch is really cute and since its less desirable than the envelope clutch (i actually like it more because it is less dressy) you can find it on ebay for under $500 if you are not too picky about colour.

Loving all the green. Nice dad.

Ashleigh Jones said...

Your hair looks a mess, you're wearing a granny cardy and your legs are all bruised like a hooker. No way are you gonna win the Elle contest and no way is anyone gonna help you win $750 just for the chance of a giveaway of your castoffs. You have proof now, you're losing fast.
By the way all you commenters does Ashleigh/Ashley ever comment on your blog?

Ashleigh said...

I forgot to add, I bet you can't find my new blog with pic above the logo.

check out the comments on the Elle contest. How many people hate you right now, you got too big for your boots.

Oh, and I also voted for you just now! :)

looks like your stalker is back. Its sad really. The only loser is the one who sits at their desk all day coming up with fake emails to trash someone else to make themselves feel better.
get a life.
