SuzieSummerStyle over on SweetiePieStyle

Hey Y’all! I want to introduce you to one of my Insta-friends 😉 , Jackie from

Sweetie Pie Style

Isn’t she cute?!!!!

Well, Jackie asked me earlier if I’d put together a list of my top 5 summer essentials…and y’all know I cannot resist giving my opinion when asked…well, and sometimes even when not! Who am I kidding?

Soooo….I DID and you can find those 5 things over on her blog. To get there:

There are lots of other contributors to this series as well, so don’t forget to take a look around while you’re there!

Have a great day Y’all and don’t be shy…go say HEY to Jackie!

Love,

Suzie

P.S. And because I know you’re going to love her, I thought I’d also share that Jackie has FABulous Pinterest boards (I think this is where we first met 😉 ), a fun Facebook page,  and she Tweets as @JackieofSPS !

SuzieStyleSpring Florals

Remember those shoes I picked for April over on The Farmer’s Trophy Wife’s Spring Wardrobe Challenge? Well, here they are for real. Also recall that I’m over the bright jeans for Spring, instead favoring patterned denim in their place. Putting the two together I’ve come up with a little SuzieStyleSpring Floral display.

Denim-Current and Elliot Floral Stiletto; Shirt-BCBG Max Azria (old); Anorak-Ralph Lauren Denim and Supply; Shoes and Clutch-Zara; Necklace-Purr Calgary (last spring)

Does anyone else remember the last time big ol’ country cabbage roses made an appearance on the fashion scene 😉

Have a great day Y’all!

Love,

Suzie

Need an Excuse to Go Shopping? – March SpringSuzieStyle picks…

Hey Y’all!!!

In case you missed it, I’m taking part in this challenge over on The Farmer’s Trophy Wife‘s blog with her, Cashmere and Camo, and the Pin Up Chronicles to create a spring wardrobe over the next three months and spend just $300 to do it! Well, my first month’s picks for March have been posted so I’d love it if you’d click this and head on over to take a peek!

Over there, I’ve provided you with a list of items for under my $100 budget this month, including some really cute shoes, plus I’ve added how I’d wear the look right NOW, both day and night!

Here’s a little sneaky shoe shot, but you’ll have to go over to The Farmer’s Trophy Wife’s site to find the link on where you can get these beauties for under $35!

Head on over and say hey to Cathryn for me while you’re over there!

Love,

Suzie

81 Poppies in the Snow

Dress-81 Poppies; Vegan Vest-Zara (Spring 2011); Boots-Nine West (old); Purse-Michael Kors; Silver Mantra7 Bracelet- Serendipity’s Back Yard; Silver and Turquoise Bracelet-Mexico

I have been DYING to wear this dress!!! I ordered it from 81 Poppies before we went to Mexico…even had it rush shipped so that it would make it in my suitcase, and then I didn’t end up getting a chance to wear it there. HUGE disappointment! So, I don’t care if there’s still snow on the ground right now because I have waited LONG ENOUGH to wear this beautiful thing, dang it!!!! I’ll simply pop on a fur coat on my way out the door, and if I get cold I’ll stop by the drug store and pick up a pair of tights because I’m not letting a little snow and -5C temps scare me away from this mission! No sir-eeee!!!

Have a great day Y’all!

Love,

Suzie

UCS Fashion Week- Monday SuzieStyle

First, THANK YOU all for making yesterday my busiest blog post ever. I’m having a blast with USC Fashion Week and you all ROCK for following along!!

That said… on to today. I needed to pull out a pair of peep toes so that my pedi could see the light of day again (Maui was sooo last week after all!). Well, as often happens, the rest of the outfit just sort of came together. I like starting that way. From the shoes up I say (and my Grandma on my Dutch side is smiling down on me right now)!

OK, maybe she would have missed the fashion point on the ripped jeans, but I’ve always been the rebel in my family and I like to think she kinda, would’ve liked that in me a little (once I grew into it/grew up and stopped being a dumb-butt rebel of course).

Shoes and Purse – Michael Kors (I know it’s not fashionable any more to match the purse to the shoes but this is different…they’re Michael Kors from two different seasons thank you very much). Oh that’s right, I forgot to grab the purse when I was racing the timer on my camera to take this shot. Well just for you, I’ll share the one when I remembered to grab it, but dang it!!! It cut my head off again 😉

Jeans -Gap Always Skinny (bought with work-related-holes-without-the-work already supplied :))

Jacket – Tristan from years ago

Sweater – Joe Fresh Spring 2011

Cami – White House Black Market (the nicest cami’s I’ve found so far)

Necklaces – Blue crystal from a street vendor in the fashion capital of the world…Chemainus BC!!! and Gold chain from Fine Finds Yaletown, Vancouver.

Belt – Thrifted

My happy toes say Happy Monday y’all!

Love,

Suzie
