No Pants, No Problem

It's been freezing here. Freezing! And for someone who usually prefers dresses and skirts to pants, the extra warmth pants provide has been a necessity. Today, I just wanted to feel like the normal me again. Enter these thigh high boots which, in my mind, are basically a pants replacement. Amirite?

Bama Nights

My vacation in Alabama thus far has presented me with many glorious things; 2 back to back days of t-shirt weather, massive meal portions, and a woman hanging out with a shower cap on. What more can a girl want.

Bama nights have been chilly and this cape was perfect for a night of birthday celebrations, plus it makes me feel like a super hero.

Reginald Magazine: Heavy Petal Event

Last week, I attended Reginald Magazine's 'Heavy Petal' spring event. Reginald is a locally started magazine with the objective of putting Halifax, Nova Scotia on the fashion map. Fashion isn't just for big cities, we can compete with the best of 'em!

A last minute outfit change left me with a coral shorts suit and a whole bunch of rings.

Unfortunately, I forgot my camera and just had to make do with my iPhone.

Today I decided that I am going to quit my job and start a pantyhose business. What a lucrative industry that must be! For realz though, you spend $18 on a pair that suck you in just right and then one wear in..run run run away. 

In other news, sometimes you just want to grab a quickie to go dress to go to worky that you can throw on without having to worry about ironing, and be comfy throughout the day. This dress is that. To top it off, it was a present from my seester for my birthday!

Profashional Times: The Briefcase

For anyone that doesn't know me, I am usually seen trekking around between sites with my trusty ol' company backpack looking like quite the 13 year old. Of course, me mouthing the words to Justin Bieber probably didn't help the 13 year old image. 

This weekend, I decided it was time for me to look like a grownup damnit! So I went out there and  bought myself a grownup bag. My shopping criteria? Well it had to fit my lappy, duh...and not be black!

So here it is, friends, my red leather dip into my wallet.

Call Me, Maybe

I recently found out that I will be forced to pass in my Blackberry for an iPhone and it is with true mixed emotion. Yes, my Blackberry is currently put together with scotch tape, shuts down randomly, and lags like crazy, but I've had a Blackberry for years and it will be sad to see it go, plus I hate entering learning curves.

On a positive note, there are a lot more pretty options to dress up iPhones than Blackberries and that is def something that I'm stoked about! I can't wait to get a belt clip for my phone... jokes! I think I'd rather not have a phone at all and rely on fax machines as my mode of communication than have a belt clip. But back to pretty things, I can't decide on what cover to get and although I should probably go for a sturdy cover that will protect my phone from everything harmful in life, I will opt for what I think is cutest. It's equivalent to the pain over comfort mentality..cuteness over protection. 

Decisions decisions..what should I do??

PS. If it wasn't for the unprofessional-ism of having bunny ears on my phone at work, I would totally go for that option.

I am currently on the hunt for this cuff clutch. You get to carry a clutch AND have both of your hands free. What a day that would be. Too bad I can't find it online anywhere!
