Green and Plaid

Green Sweater: F21 ($7), Boots: Steve Madden, Blazer: H&M ($30), Jeans: Thrifted

I bought this bright green sweater during boxing day sale (In Canada, it is like Black Friday - alot of sales) and it was only $7. Well it was 2 for $15 type of deal. I loved it paired against my plaid blazer, considering how much complaning I did in the begining, this blazer has faired quite well.

For quite some while, I have been looking at FOSSIL watches, and since this weekend my 2-year old watch I got from AVON stop working....hmm...maybe it is a sign from the universe! Because how else am I gonna get to work on time?! ;)

Do you love pairing colors against plaid?

Bridal Shower

Today is my bridal shower!!! Wow, it is like Jan 8th already, well not LIKE, IT IS! 2011 flew right by and now 2012 is even going by faster it seems. Probably because I am so excited and want to be doing a million things at one as the wedding draws near!

Jeans: GAP (15$), Sweater: thrifted ($7), Tank: F21 ($2), Necklace: F21 ($5)

Today is my bridal shower! I can not believe it is already here. My mom to-be (Ryan's mom technically) is throwing me this lavishing shower where I will be surrounded by family,  R's cousins, friends, besties and moms, coworkers and a type of celebration every girl dreams of (I heard this through the grapevine). I am so freaking lucky and very blessed to become part of his family, they care SO much about me.

I have been waiting 6 years for this day to come,  I still havent decided what to wear. Either it will be a one-shoulder bright dress or an LBD with bright accessories, we shall see. I will pose pics in a post in the coming week.

Thanks for stopping by! Happy Sunday! :)

A very Exciting Year - 2012!

2012 is our year, is a year where my best friend and I will get married. Only a girl's heart can know how she feels when there are few days left for her to get married. There are so many emotions running through my heart and mind these days.

The excitement to be searching for THE wedding dress, then sad emotions about parting with my family soon after the wedding, amazement on how far R and I have come and become so much stronger than we have ever been

Vest: Hand me downs, Boots: S.M., Pants: GAP ($15), Plaid: thrifted ($7)

 and then the next moment, I get so much more happy to think about new things we would do as newlyweds and start our new life together - a new chapter in life, sometimes feel anxious wondering if everything would go ok. In fact, I wont be suprised if there would be some bumps along the way. and that is ok, nothing is perfect. Well except GOD.

Infact, my only resolution this year to Enjoy more, Laugh more and Worry less, esp about things not in our control and I wanna share my new favourite song with all of you called "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bob McFerin.

What is your "things/habits to improve on" for this new year!?

Back to Neutrals

Striped Tee: F21 ($7), Grey Skinnies: CostaBlanca ($6), Blazer: thrifted ($4), Scarf: F21 ($4)

Now that christmas festivities are over, I felt like being really low-maintenance and dressing in neautrals. As much as colors are wonderful to wear, there is something soothing about wearing just neutrals. This look is totally something easy to put together and head out the door in a rush. Boots, skinny pants and a blazer would do it for those work days. 

My friends engagement party is in 2 days, then it is the new years eve party, and then bridal shower is also coming up soon! I am loving all the wedding goodness!

Also, past due are some of the photos from the bachelorette (some people e-mailed me wanting to see photos - so here they are!) - Enjoy!

me with a dear friend of mine! :)

Getting pimped up!

In a fun-Limo ride with my girls!

What are you wearing for New Years Eve??

Bright Mondays Part 5 (Plaid and Mustard) + Bachelorette Party Outfit

Jeans and Belt: Thrifted ($8), Shirt: H&M ($9), Shoes: Steve Madden, Scarf: Suzy Shier ($3)

I wore this outfit for last friday as a comfy, casual outfit to the office. I bought this scarf exactly a year ago and havent gotten much use out of it. I plan on using it more so hopefully you won't get sick of seeing the same thing. I loved that white belt stood out so much in the outfit. I knew I wanted to pair plaid in this outfit as this shirt hold the same story as my scarf - bought but not worn much. I have this shirt and a plaid jacket which I wear alot..

 

AND NOW....

My bachelorette Party outfit:

I looked quite different that what I usually look like. I wore makeup and glasses were off, curled my hair and they surprisingly stayed that way all night. I love this sequin dress and paired it with marroon shoes, marroon clutch and maroon lipstick (thank B for letting me borrow). I thought all the marroon would be too macthy matchy but turned out not too shabby. We had dinner with close girlfriends, opened gifts, went to a bar, played some adult games (not my cup of tea but tried it anyway, turned out to be fun than I thought) had a time of my life in a fancy limo ride which had music pumping ....which took us to the dance lounge and we danced the night away...........

I am so blessed my sis in law to be and my few best friends created the best night for me...a night to remember for ALL my life :)

How was your weekend??

This was my weekend, Sunday was a day to catch up on sleep, laundry, etc.

“For today and its blessings, I owe the world an attitude of gratitude.” - Unknown (Cognac)

I know I havent popped in here in a while (by that I mean 2 days!) but here is my Cognac post (part of the neutrals challenge).

Dear readers, you guys are so wonderful. Thank you for your well wishes on my last post and please know it is ALL because of your well wishes, that - I am 90% better! :) I am not gonna lie, I havent nad much energy to take any outfit photos. I wore the above in fall 2011 in October I think but I never got around to posting until now...

On a totally random note, I want to share something. I love Christmas season. Do you? Before I met Ryan  (and bec my family doesnt celebrate xmas, it was the most boring-est day of my life. Bec malls, theatres, resturants...everything was closed that day....no way to entertain yourself). But now, I love it, I love to see his family, cusions, grandparents and just have fun, exchange presents, yummy food.....and the list goes on. I am greatful for all of this goodness.

Are you enjoying Christmas Season this year?

Bright Mondays - Part 4!

Bag and Top: H&M, Boots: Steve Madden, Pants: GAP, Jewellery: F21, Coat: URBAN

The shopping ban for November is done. If you want to see how I did, be sure to checkout last month's outfit roundup and let me know how I did.

I wore the above outfit this weekend to get some xmas shopping done. I paired turquoise top with my tan blazer and paired it with some gold jewellery. We are keeping things low-key with xmas shopping this year as everyone is saving up for the wedding in India. Wow, just about 60-70 days till we go and get married in btwn family and friends. 

My bachelorette (SURPIRSE party I should mention) is coming up in 2 weeks too, cant wait to see what girls are cooking. I dont know anything, nada....sometimes you just gotta enjoy life through moments like this, where other loved ones take over and deliver. I am greatful to have such loving people in my life :)

Any ideas on what to wear to MY Bachelorette Party? Never been to one.

Hope you had an awesome weekend. Thank you for stopping by!
