real look

Today's look isn't one that is on the wish list - it's one that I will be wearing this weekend! I am so in love with the floral pants from H&M but haven't had a chance to wear them yet because I've been in recovery from my surgery - lame! Friday night is a great blogger event at Violet Hill Boutique hosted by Monika of The Doctor's Closet and I can't wait to sport these babies! 

The outfit revolves around the pants. The boyfriend blazer is a great causal but chic substitute for a jacket and the white tank is basic making it easy to accessories. I still can't decide between a pump or these strappy wedges - what do you think? Let me know in the comment section!

Oh..and the clutch? No brainer! I just received this Lulu clutch from Blair Ritchey and it was the perfect final addition to the outfit. If you want one too you can enter to win one in my latest giveaway HERE!

The Women Who Tweet

Today's post is to celebrate the lovely women that not only dominate the Fashion & Style industry but also take over my Twitter feed. These women in the industry are incredibly accomplished and have the ambitions and experience to inspire me day to day - which is why I love to read and re-tweet their tweets!

I would like to share their Twitter handles with all of you in the hopes that you too will follow them and be inspired and informed with what they have to say. From international style stars to the local ladies that we love in Vancouver - they'll all make you you stop and read.

If you don't have your own Twitter account - that's fine! These ladies have open profiles so that you can read their tweets even without an account.

Now my lists on these women can go on and on - as I have A LOT of them that I follow but currently these are my favorites!

Today's outfit is relaxed but well put together. I'm a fan of the button down blouse - it's the one item in your wardrobe that can make you look effortless chic.

Let's make KONY Famous!

As bloggers and people who live our lives on this earth we have a voice. I would like to share a little bit of my voice with all of you on one topic.

I'm sure by now you have been bombarded on your Facebook time lines with the objective to make Joseph Kony famous. If you are unaware about this horrifying act that is going on, much like I was 48 hours ago - you want to educated yourself on this.

In a nutshell, Joseph Kony from Uganda, Africa recruits young children to be a part of this army. An army that forces these children to kill their parents and those in their town. An army that uses young girls in the sex trade.

Thanks to Jason Russel who has brought this to the worlds attention - his tactics over the past 8 years have brought all of us to this moment in 2012 when we can finally stop Kony.

Please take the next 30 minutes to watch this video and another 2 second to like the Facebook page for Bloggers Making Joseph Kony Famous HERE and the Twitter page HERE.


KONY 2012 from INVISIBLE CHILDREN on Vimeo.

Please take the above video and photo to spread these around on all of your social media accounts - LET'S MAKE KONY FAMOUS not to applaud him, but to stop him. My friends and I are in support of TRI and will be joinging Vancouver on April 20th. Will I see you there?

The official hash tags for this are #KONY2012 & #BloggersAgainstKony

5% and a little more that catches my eye

It's mid week and I've been doing a lot of rest and relaxation. I had a second surgery yesterday that was prompted due to some major bleeding near my first operation, scary stuff. Only 5% of patients reach that side effect and naturally I would be in that percentile! During these rougher days I've been keeping busy as well with my I See Noise prints - which by the way I have just re-stocked the shop and added 2 new prints! Check them out HERE.

If you're following me on Instagram then you know what's been catchng my eye lately - if not, here ya go!

Stay tuned next week for a great post on shopping finds and a new giveaway!

H&M outfits all under $100!!

Today is day 6 of recovery! I'm feeling a bit better but the struggle is still there. I kept my mind off of it with some online window shopping yesterday on www.hm.com and couldn't help but notice all the great pieces and prices!

I first went onto the site to show Eric a pair of floral printed pants that I've had my eye on and needed him to call the store to place them on hold. Because I couldn't speak I couldn't do it myself and it was really funny because he had no idea what he was calling about. Thankfully he placed them on hold! Great job babe!

So, like I said the pieces and prices are all really great right now and obviously when I go in I won't be able to leave with just the pants. I've put together 7 outfits that I want and that you would all love as well....ALL UNDER $100!!!!

Happy shopping!

Deborah Lippman polish picks

It's day #5 of recovery after my tonsil surgery and I am finally able to eat something! I have to say though this whole bed arrest idea is getting a little old and I could really use some retail therapy or a good mani/pedi at Pure Nail Bar!

To get me excited I perused through the Deborah Lippman collection and was instantly inspired for some new outfits!

Here are my picks from the current collection that are a must have in yours!
