There's a hole in my pants dear Liza...


You're likely to look at this outfit and think, where's the hole? Sadly you may not be able to see London or France today, but thankfully you can't see my underpants. These kelly green bottoms I'm wearing would be a replacement pair sent to me by Biscuit General Store following a little pants mishap....


The Outfit: Sweater- Gap | T-shirt- Joe Fresh | Necklace- H&M | Pants (Biscuit General Store) | Earrings- Foxy (Je Suis Prest Boutique) | Sandals- Sam Edelman (Piperlime) | Sunglasses- Joe Fresh | Headband- Lululemon


A while back, I hopped in the car for a whirlwind trip to Halifax and back in less than 24 hours with Barb and Candice for the East Coast Bloggers meet-up- we had a chance to catch a bit of the conference and do a little downtown shopping with our other Maritime blogger pals. 

One of my favourite independent shops in Halifax, Biscuit General Store, was having a massive sale that many of us couldn't pass up. I bought these bottoms since they were incredibly comfortable (and my favourite shade of green). Unfortunately, on their first wear- I discovered the inside seam of one leg has already torn while at a friend's for supper.






Not only did Biscuit see my tweet and respond immediately, but they offered to send me a new pair via mail or refund me my purchase since I didn't live close to their shop. Now that's good customer service! 


I opted to try another pair and when they arrived on my doorstep, enclosed was also a little note and a $5 off coupon towards my purchase. They may carry my favourite brands, but knowing that a store stands behind their merchandise and cares about their customers, I will definitely shop there again. 


(As for the pants, the second pair has held up!)

goodbye tights!


Outfit: Dress- Old Navy | Belt- Je Suis Prest Boutique | Earrings- Foxy (Je Suis Prest Boutique)
Watch- Fossil | Sweater- Press (Je Suis Prest Boutique) | Sandal- Sam Edelman (Piperlime)


That's right- it might be a little early in the season, but I'm saying goodbye to tights and hosiery. After ripping a few pairs of tights- some expensive American Apparel ones (eeek!) and a less expensive nude pair- I decided it was just easier (and much less hassle) to expose my bare legs a little early this year. After all, when your jambes are as pale as mine, a little sun exposure is good for those uber white legs!

pink flamingos

Outfit: Tee- Joe Fresh | Sweater- American Eagle | Jeggings- Guess (Pseudio) | Wedges- Aldo
Scarf- Vero Moda (Pseudio) | Earrings- Joe Fresh | Glasses- Ray Ban


For anybody who knew me back in my early university days, you might remember there was a time when my wardrobe was over flooded with pink! It wasn't uncommon for me to be wearing 2-4 shades of pink in one outfit. And if I wasn't wearing pink on any given day, I had lots of questions to answer to! 

I saw this flamingo scarf at Pseudio Thursday and it reminded me that because I owned so much pink back then, my roommate nicknamed me "mingo" (shortened from flamingo) since I had so much pink! 

These days pink is not nearly as popular in my wardrobe (I could easily go weeks without wearing any) but this spring I've bought a few new pink pieces- this t-shirt and scarf being 2 of them.

outfit sneak peaks!

I'm happy to say that I'm finally getting back into the swing of posting my outfit photos. It's pretty sad that I haven't posted an outfit in over a month, but with the lack of daylight and cold weather over the last few months I was feeling pretty uninspired. Work has been busy in recent times so that I'm worn out by the time I get home and the call of my sweat pants is just too alluring to freshen my make-up and get out there to snap my photos at the end of the day. 

But the last few days we've been hit with an amazing preview of summer weather- I took the opportunity to wear a few new items and suddenly I was inspired to get back in the swing of outfit photos! Here are some of the newer pieces in my closet that you'll be seeing me wear soon!


Actually, I'm heading out the door with my camera in hand right now!
