Canadian Tuxedo?

     So, I got a remark that since I was wearing basically all over denim I was wearing a Canadian Tuxedo? Hmm.. At least I was comfortable enough to wander around a flea market all day! I did however commit a fashion no-no by wearing the same tank TWO days in a row. Hope you don't mind it. I needed layers for the odd weather we had yesterday. I was a bit cold earlier in the day but then after a couple hours the sun was shining and I had to take my chambray shirt off and tie it around my waist, thereby making a slight homage to the 90s. My second fashion no-no of the day. I know. *sigh. There were TOO many wonderful things at this gigantic flea market but I was a very good girl and only spent a whopping $18 total! Plus I got to whip out my uber cute foldable tote bag to carry all my finds. Now.. ready yourself for a picture heavy post!

I will be in this oufit again since I was ridiculously comfortable and still felt so put together.

Here's a closer shot of my arrowhead necklace from F21. Its definitely one of my favorite pieces.

I need a pedicure since the only polish left is on my big toes and they're only half covered. Yikes!

Ball jars! I wanted to buy the whole lot of them but my dad talked me out of it.

Such pretty colors! My dad and I are also planning on using some of those big abalone shells as planters for succulents and cacti!

This locker set-up gave me the interesting idea of having this as storage in a play/rec room where certain lockers can be left open to highlight the items placed in them! I also love all the little dwarves lining the bottom. So whimsical.

I still have no idea what these metal trays are for but I just love this picture with the green truck in the back!

Piles and piles of metal letters in every color imaginable!

Pretty Pretty shells and starfish

Old tins perfect for organizing or even as planters!

The finds that came home with me! A cardigan, sheer shirt with velvet accents and some druzy stones for jewelry crafting.

To finish an already great day... Sushi buffet! Yum!

My mom's filled up plate.

After I got back from the flea market and went out back to do a little gardening, I came back to this. I think someone was trying to send me a message on the patio stairs via ten toys. hmmm... wonder what it could have been? :)

Weekend Casual

    On the weekends I either go super casual or dress it up depending upon my mood. Lately I've been on a comfort kick so the simpler the better. That does not mean that I neglect my accessories though. I think it's a lifelong love here to stay with me through thick and thin. And I don't mind one bit! Well, this is going to be a quick post since I'm off to brunch with besties and am already running low on time. Have a wonderful day all! :)

 A better view of my shirt and necklaces with out my eyelet scarf and purse. 

Can you spot the maltipoo? :)

 To add to my obsession with maps is this beautiful piece that has so much detail. Along the metal rim is a description of time zones and the globe even spins! 

 This little deer is so cute! 

This scarf was a clearance find at the Lucky Brand Store a year ago. I fell in love with it once I saw the three different kinds of eyelet lace and the blues of the scarf. So pretty!

Denim, Lace and Maxi Dresses

     I know I'm a little late to this trend but I only recently rediscovered a jean jacket from my high school days. Very cool for shizzle! It was the perfect addition to my outfit for some overtime at the office. (I know... ICK.) BUT, I was beyond comfy in my maxi dress and still a little more put together with the structure of the jean jacket. Since there already was such a busy print and fancy lace I kept the accessories to a minimum. It was an impulse I actually had to keep in check since I naturally reach for necklaces. I satisfied my accessory addiction by donning a set of earrings and bracelet that was a gift from my aunt. (I forgot that I had the name necklace on from the night before...) Turquoise accents and denim always seem to go hand in hand.
     On a totally unrelated note: I discovered that my fuzz-ball resembles the cauliflower toy he has. Need proof? Scroll down and see for yourself :)

Pin It

 Turquoise, Denim and feathers. A wonderful combination that will definitely be seen on this blog again. 

 The lace of these shoes definitely needed one coat of a scotch guard for white shoes. 

You can get the scotch guard spray at a Payless Shoes Store. 

 I brings you cauliflower... 

 Cauliflower head! :)

Fashionable Maltipoo

Yes. I put clothes on my dog. He's tiny and gets cold often. Really. He shakes. Some of you may think he hates me but I'm doing this for his own well being. Never for the sake of fashion of course. Plus how could anyone say no to this sweater? It has a hood and pockets. Oh and just in case you weren't clear, the word "Woof" is stitched on the back just to let you know he is still a dog even if he is wearing clothing.
Get ready for a gratuitous overload of adorableness.

This is not a sad face. It's a I-want-a-treat-after-these-photos face.

Pockets are great for storing treats... for approximately five minutes.

"Woof"

KAPOW!! The I-kill-you-with-cuteness stare.

*Update* He promptly received a treat after his killer stare.

**Full Disclosure** He wears bowties so that he is extra spiffy and elevates his chick-magnet status from "Awwww!" to a high-pitched squealy "HOW CUTE!!!!!!!!!"

Odd Placement...

     Notice anything odd? What do you think doesn't belong in this picture? If you guessed a ragged chew toy in the shape of a gingerbread man, you are so RIGHT!!

     This is photographic evidence of my maltipoo's determination to booby trap places we frequent (the shower), in an effort to get us to play with him.

     The picture shows Gingee (An affectionate name for the dog toy he loves. What? You don't give nicknames to favorite dog toys? ... ) leaning against the bottom of the shower wall. Gingee also looks like he has dreadlocks courtesy of my maltipoo's teeth. I smell a brilliant new career path as a hairdresser for this dog! Don't you?
