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!

Almost Blushing

I love the remote function on my digital camera (yes, I work without a photog and I am MUCH more comfortable that way). You are looking at a dog (my quirky Casey) who NEVER lets you take his picture if he knows you’re doing it (which is exactly how I feel whenever someone else points a camera in my face). But while putting this post together he just kinda kept sneaking in the shot because he had no idea he was being photographed. That’s why I love the remote too! Press the button and there is enough of a delay that you almost forget the thing is going to snap a pic. Thank you Nikon…from both of us!!!

Pants? Winners (FYI they had them in all the bright colors too and only $19.99…RUN don’t walk cause they’ll all be gone fast at that rate). Top? Aritzia. Shoes? Top Shop London. Purse? Zara. Necklaces? Fine Finds Vancouver. Watch? Michael Kors

Off to get  my eyes checked today then back home to pack. YES, I’m going away AGAIN! More about that tomorrow. Have a great day everyone and thank you again to everyone who left kind words and hugs about my little old Jesse!

Jesse’s Dress

I worked all day in the yard and I definitely don’t feel like cooking tonight. You see, the Mr. and I are both more than a little sad over the loss of our little old pup Jesse this past Sunday. Well, when I’m down I don’t like to sit around and wallow in it but would rather try to keep positive. On that note, I know he had a very long and happy life and I think we should celebrate that fact. We’ll miss him like crazy, but we know it was his time to go. Tonight, we’re going to head out for dinner and toast that little old guy…here’s the outfit I put together in Jesse’s honor.

Dress? Winners. Shoes? Winners. Clutch? Zara. Watch? Michael Kors.

Have a wonderful evening Y’all!

And if you’re so inclined raise a glass to my little old Jesse!

What I Wore Wednesday

Sweater Dress and Cardigan-Dex; Boots and Socks-Benneton; Purse-Arnold Churgins Shoes;Necklaces-Fine Finds Yaletown, Vancouver and Douglas Reynolds Gallery, Vancouver; Scarf-29 Palms; Watch-Michael Kors

Actually, I wore this yesterday but the title fit this publishing day so I ran with it. And yes, I totally stole borrowed that post title from other blogs. Well, the “What I Wore” part was borrowed. My creative side added the Wednesday! And I should add that the outfit inspiration came first from my beautiful niece Brandy Elizabeth. She always wears these cute dresses with amazing boots and socks. Even in summer! I just loved the look so I’ve stolen borrowed that too! Thanks Bran!!! I guess I should have called this What I Stole Borrowed Wednesday 🙂

Have a great day Y’all!
