28. A little vacation.

Hello all! I'm interrupting my slight hiatus to give an update. Easter Sunday was atypical for me, my parents were in town and I flew out of province! I flew into Halifax with an aunt of mine, P, to visit another aunt, D, for a little over a week.

We left Monday for Bangor and stayed a couple of nights, some serious shopping took place. Outlets and other American stores I can't get back home are so addictive and easy to spend money in (I'm looking at you, Express). I'm back in Moncton now, at D's house, for a few days. P left this morning so we're having a lazy day of things. 5 days straight of shopping can really do you in. Or in my case, fill my suitcase to the brink of stuffed. I wasn't completely done but I think I might have to be.

I think that's it for now. I have very few pictures from the trip, shopping isn't the best for photos sometimes. Especially when neither aunt is very sure using the DSLR. Hoping to get a few more pics before I leave, but no new outfit shots yet. It's packed in very tight and staying there til I reach NL again. I'll get back to regular posting by next Friday, as I'm still here til Wednesday. So many pretty clothes to show. If I can manage to get a few minutes in the next couple days I'll post my Project 52, not within the schedule but still done!

Til next time!

27. I think it's spring.

Finally another OOTD post. Blogger is not agreeing with me today so the formatting is probably off. I'm flying out tonight to NB to visit my aunt for a few days. Lots of shopping to be done! Maybe a haul post when I back...I will be going to H&M after all. 

So this is an outfit from my last week of work! I think this was Wednesday. It was so nice. I got a chance to wear my pink trench from Old Navy. So bright and happy. Will definitely be wearing this lots during the summer. 

 

trench - ON / cropped cardigan - stitches, 2007 / dress - samuel & co / belt - made by mom :) / flats - clarks

this one's just for fun. taking pictures in my driveway, pretty sure guy in mini was staring at the weird neighbour girl.

Here's a close-up. I'm caring less about the weird looks from people! Yay! I really love this dress, it's so simple and multifunctional. And it was on sale, and a gift. Always a good combination! Hoping to have another OOTD post up before I leave, blogging discreetly around family is not an easy task.

Til next time!

Fashion-Beauty Friend Friday: Inspiration

Inspiration - Since I wasn't involved in FBFF a year ago, this will be my first time answering these questions, but they're the first set so I'm told! Inspiration can come from anywhere and I'm finding myself getting more inspired by, well, everything!

1. Which celebrity (celebrities) do you look to for fashion inspiration? 












I don't know if I follow any certain celebrities for inspiration. I like a lot of pieces that some of them wear, but it can be so varied that there's not really any certain celebrity I look to. As I've shown in some of my previous posts, I look more to TV characters for inspiration. Grey's, Gossip Girl, Mad Men, and OTH have all had an impact on my style, but not the celebrity as much as their character.

 
2. When it comes to your own personal style, what inspires you? I would like to think that my closet inspires me, but sometimes that's not true. It kinda sucks sometimes (my closet, that is) but I'm working on it. I think seeing other bloggers probably inspires me the most, and some fashion magazines or websites like Instyle and Glamour. My style is pretty basic and simple but I like seeing different combinations of patterns or colors like the spring/summer trends.

 3. How do you hope to inspire your readers? 





I'd hope that anyone reading my blog might be inspired by my photography firstly. I know my outfits aren't all that interesting or innovative, but I try to do my best to make them blog-worthy. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm trying to say with my blog. If someone finds inspiration through what I say or the pictures I take, I feel like at least someone is getting something from it!

4. Outside the realm of fashion who/what inspires you? 


Photography, completely. And music. And my friends and family. There are so many things that inspire me on a day to day basis. Baking too. I love to create things for the people I love and I get a lot of that inspiration from blogs too haha.

5. Which songs inspire you?
Oh God. This could be long. There are many for different reasons, here's a few of my favourites!

 

Delicate by Damien Rice. Drool. 

 

Memory by Sugarcult. An old favourite. 

Who's That Chick - for dancing and partyingggg. 

Coldplay - Yellow. I disliked them when they first came out, I loved them once I listened!

Til next time!

Project 52: Week 16

Week 16: Furry Friends. Now they've made me a photo repeater. Lovely. This one's pretty self-explanatory, and I don't have any other pets. I have had several but Em's the cutest. I wanted to do a comparison of my puppy from when she was little to now, but didn't think of it til I got back in town. Oh well.

Slightly annoyed at me. I believe I had toast that I wouldn't share. She likes to be fed, clearly. Or maybe it was the giant camera pointing at her...I never know.

Til next time!
