Pretty In....

Photobucket 
Good morning everyone, here is another outfit from Western Canada's Fashion Week. Anyone else been having issues with blogger yesterday? I couldn't post a comment at all on any blog, and then my last post disappeared into drafts. Very curious indeed. But alas, it seems to be working at the moment, so hopefully it stays that way. 
I actually have been looking at this dress for over a month. I kept wandering into the bay on my break, looking at it and convincing myself I didn't need it A) because I am not really a "pink" person B) I have lot's of dresses. But in a moment of weakness I finally decided to try it on, and the cutout back detail had me, and the heart print is too cute to pass up. I still don't think I'm a fan of pink, but I am a big fan of this dress!

WCFW day 3

Day 3, had a lot of lovely designs, A showcase from 124th street as well as one from West Edmonton mall. It was a great show hosted by Dutchess Bakery who provide some amazing treats as well. I had never had a macroon before!! So tasty
 The designs by Rebecca Pichoch and Beth Evans, I loved the feathered headdresses and interesting make up they had on the models. The pieces were really pretty!

WCFW: What I Wore, day 1

Photobucket 
So to kick things off for Western Canada's Fashion Week I brought along my awesome friend Janelle and we got all dolled up. It's always a lot of fun to go out and see everyone and all the great fashion. 
I decided to wear this dress I got from F21 earlier this summer, I absolutely love the shape of it, it's kind of a 50's fit with the accentuated waist and flaring out. And I've been looking forward to wearing these little polka dot tights alll summer; unfortunately I snagged a hole in the back of them at the end of the night :( I hate when that happens!

Best of the week: WCFW

Obviously Western Canada Fashion Week starting up has been the highlight of my week, Thursday , Friday and Saturday night myself and the other amazing Edmonton blogger's headed to Whyte ave to see what local shops, talent and stylists had to offer. I apologize in advance for some of the photo quality

and of course who doesn't love a well dressed man?Photobucket
this worked, I want to go shopping on Whyte so bad now

Last years emerging stylist contest winners Lance Chung and Brittanee Tomkow were given $750 to go to Goodwill and use to pieces to create a collection, it's amazing what some imagination and talent can do:

I absolutely am loving the leather skirts with studs on them, so rocker chic

Good Morning, hope your week is going quite well. Tonight is the opening night for Western Canada's Fashion Week and I'm really looking forward to it! It should be a lot of fun to see some of the collections and other stuff they have planned for this year.
This is what I wore yesterday, I've had this skirt since beginning of June but completely forgot about it because it somehow ended up in my pile of clothes that need to be hemmed, taken in, etc. And it wasn't in need of alterations! I am glad I rediscovered it though, it's got such a wonderful shape and polka dots. No one can go wrong with polka dots. So I decided to print mix it with a plaid button up top. Just a pretty casual comfortable look for university then to work afterwards. :)

School Girl & a Side of Mustard

Photobucket
Hey everyone, hope your week has gotten off to a good start! Mine's been good so far, and as the week goes on should get even better with the kick off of Western Canada's Fashion Week on thursday :) which should coincide with some really nice weather.
I've been looking for a plaid skirt with this shape for a while now, I wanted one that I could wear without coming across too school girl ish. One of my friends actually described this look as "retro student" which is a description I really liked. These mustard tights make me so happy, they're such a rich colour and I can imagine getting a lot of use of out them. I do love the shape of this skirt, and think it will be getting a lot more use as fall goes on.

Best of the week & Casual Sundays

Photobucket
This is something I wore to University/Work this week, I rarely wear pants to work because we can't wear jeans, but these black ones are suitable for work. They're not made of denim but a super comfortable, strechy, insanely soft material. I usually shy away from tops like this one, but I couldn't say no to this ones scalloped bottom and cut out details.
