Outfits in my Closet

 I like to take pictures of my outfits. Not because I'm vain (but I'm sure I am a little) but because I forget what I all have in my closet and it's a great way to help me remember what goes well together so I can do it again. So here are some of the outfits I've warn over the summer! (and of course some shoes in there too!) 

Boots Make Your Feet Look Big...

Man's Shirt Revamp

Isn't this great? Not sure how it would work on someone that's not a pencil but I'm willing to give it a try!

Time for some new hair

I love my hair style, and I don't really feel like it's gone out of style but I've had it for at least 6 years so it's time for a change. I think maybe something a little more mature?

This is us in Amsterdam, one of our stops during our European honeymoon. That was two years ago and my hair looks almost exactly the same right now. Lots of bangs, and around shoulder length. I want to keep growing it out, to mid back, and then maybe to something like these ladies!

 I really like Chelsea's hair.  I don't look great with a middle part though. I think I want something like this but more to the side. I'm going to keep my colour, in fact I'm trying to grow out the natural color and then I think I want to do a little ombre hair like Drew here. Now I just have to wait for these bangs to grow out...It feels like when I want them to stay short they grow in super fast and when I want them to grow out they take forever!

If I wanted to keep my bangs a bit I think I'd go with this.

25 Ways to wear a scarf

I saw this the other day and thought it was just great! I mean I'm a little scarf dumb. I go with the European loop and leave it at that but there's so many options, and I love them, but for some reason I just can't figure it out on my own. A good visual example always helps right? And this video is so fun too! Enjoy!

Spring Time=Dress Time

If I'm going to do spring and summer that means lots of summer/spring dresses! And I have my eye on all of these!!

Goodbye Betty

So I'm not much of a tv person, I never seem to get the times right or am home on the same night each week so I don't usually get my way through or end up committing to follow the whole run of any show (except Buffy & Angel, but that was back in the day when I had no friends and was the ugly duckling)...


SO I decided I would pick something that I always thought looked good and just watch my way through that. Ugly Betty has been over for how long? I have no idea, again, see I pay no attention. But I found it online and started watching. I got hooked pretty quick and because I had some extra time on my hands I've already watched all 4 seasons. I'm sort of sad. I feel like I should go back and watch a couple again. It's funny how you get attached to something when you do it all the time.



Now I remember why I like books so much; they take longer and you can savor it a bit more. I guess if I had been watching it while it was airing I wouldn't feel this way because there would be at least a week in between each episode and it would take the real 4 years to play the whole show. Anyways, I just thought I would be a TV fan for a day and do a little post about it.

If you're looking for a fun show to watch I suggest this one. It made me feel good about myself too which is always a plus.
And a couple of videos if you've never seen the show, or want to look back on a great show.

Sandbox Photoshoot (behind the scenes)

I don't know Alesha super well but what I do know is that she's super rad and that I love her uniqueness, style and personality so I thought I would share this video with you! She entered a fashion show/contest where you had to create a whole outfit out of old materials (up-cycling). Isn't that great? I love what she came up with too!

Wedding Redo: Jane Austin Style

I did a post a while ago on having an English breakfast and I thought it would be really cool to have a whole wedding that way! But to go one step further- a Jane Austen inspired wedding! So here are my picks and findings to have such a theme.

Cake is always a great place to start!

The photography would look something like this

You Know I think I would have my man just like Darcy in the original BBC series of Pride and Prejudice.

Here's a little more modern option too.

And the dress. Well it would be some sort of variation between all of these.

And of course there would be lots and lots of dancing!

And of course the table settings and grand banquet after the wedding! A must right? I get all fair tailish just thinking about it!

And the girls would be in something a little more modern but with a feel for the old and traditional

In my research I found this really great blog- Jane Austen Today. Check it out, a lot of really fun Austen info and lots of photos, which to me is the best part!
