Too Much of a Good Thing

Oftentimes I look back at outfit posts and wonder...why? Just like everyone else I am prone to making some fashion blunders along the way. This outfit was it for me. Too. Much. Purple. Don;t even get me started on the blazer. Some days, we can hit it right on the nose...other times, it can be too much of a good thing.

Purple Haze

I have no excuse really. I'm sorry for being away for so long, but can you blame me? we have finally had some heat and sun and all I have wanted to do in my spare time is sit on a patio and sun bathe. Sitting on the computer or my smartphone have been the furthest things from my mind. Can you blame me?

What have you been up to with the nice weather finally upon us?

What I am wearing:

Blouse: H&M (Gifted)

Skirt: Dynamite (Old)

Shoes: COACH (Old)

Fall Colours

I wore this outfit a few weeks ago. And being one of the last few days where I could go outdoors without a jacket, I had to take advantage of the sunshine and greenery. I’m starting to get bummed about gloves, mitts, hats and of course, big puffy jackets and heavy duty boots. Clearly I am not a fan of winter, but I do love those fall colours.

 Are you hanging on to the last of summer? Or are you embracing fall?

What I am Wearing:
Skirt: My Grandmothers!
Blouse: Dynamite
Jewellery: Ring - F21
                  Bracelet - Gift
Shoes: Expression - The Bay
Belt: Dynamite c/o the Fashion Vlogger Event

Today I am experiencing writer’s block. I have nothing witty to share, and no pearls of wisdom to depart. I did however score a booster juice sample and a pair of tights for $1.50. Not too shabby for a Thursday.

Lace, Lilac and Ladders

It's mid week and already I feel I have done more than I normally do in 7 days. One of my biggest accomplishments was writing. Yes I write here on this blog and post. But I went back to my roots. Journaling with a pen and paper. AND. I wrote a letter. This letter was a goodbye of sorts. To someone who made an impact in my life and I have to say, it took me a VERY long time to let go. It was as if I had physically, emotionally and mentally turned a new leaf.

And then the greatest thing happened. The next after writing this letter, I woke up (on the right side of the bed ;p), and everything was as it was supposed to be. Calm. Centred. Right.

And so of course the day goes wonderfully as well. I work in an area that is absolutely wonderful places to take photos. Kat and I have been experimenting with different backdrops and we've been running into some excellent photo op locations. Its as if it was MEANT to be! I felt the ladder was so symbolic of where I am and where I am going. On to bigger things, and climbing to new heights.

What I am wearing:
Skirt: Dynamite borrowed from the bestest Sister ever….A.K.A. my only sister :P)
Lace Tank: Banana Republic
Sweater: Old Navy (thank you Groupon Coupons for giving 20 dollars worth of clothing for 10 oh yes!)
Shoes: DKNYC
Lips: MAC Up the Amp, and Angel mixed.
Pearl Necklace: gifted

Have you started a new chapter in your life? What makes you want to climb higher?

Third Times a Charm

This past summer I had the wonderful opportunity of attending a wedding for one of my friends. One thing about Indian weddings are the multiple events and of course outfit changes!

Celebrating love and making it into a three day party is the only way to do it ;)

One of the things I love the most about Indian clothing are the vibrant colours, patterns and rich fabrics.

This outfit was borrowed from Auntie B

Beautiful jewelry to complete the look 

And no wedding is complete without Mehndi (Henna). 

 With summer coming to an end I just had to share this. Lots of love to you all :)

Playing it up in Purple

Friends

Just a reminder I am away for all of next week and this weekend. I have to apologise in advance for not responding to comments or keeping up with blogs. But I plan on enjoying my vacation in Miami to the fullest. Training will be involved but for the most part I will be a beach bum and I plan on getting my eat on. Though Since the competition I have put on 10 pounds! yep just like that! I am not eating a crazy amount but I think I jsut screwed with my metabolism and so now my body is learning how to find a happy medium.

I will keep you posted on my scale woes :S

on to the outfit. I am in love with this dress! I actually had this made. I took this from Auntie R's closet but it was a bit long and was not shaped top, which I believe was a gift from India or Dubai. i went to a alterations place and gave them my vision. and this is what they came up with. I LOVE LOVE the pattern, the colours just everything about this piece and it definitely needed to be worn.








What I am Wearing:
Dress: Kurti Top altered into a dress
Belt: J Crew
Shoes: Expressions (The Bay)
Bangles: My Grandma!
Flower: Mother Nature : )


What are your plans for the summer? any of you taking a trip?

Canada Post - Delivering a Bucketful of Gratitude

If there's one thing I would like to say to all of you faithful readers out there is THANK YOU! Thank you for your faith in my abilities for keeping me on point and on track in this last leg of journey #1 as a figure competitor. 

I am so lucky, to have readers like you. I am less than two weeks from show date and I WILL get on the stage. Not going to lie, I am freaking out slightly, but so happy to have all of your support behind me. Though I may not be at the level of some of the other fabulous women there, I will be the best version of myself to date, and that's something I HAVE to be proud of and AM proud of. 

Two weeks today, I will be celebrating my victory with a brunch! Yup! If you ask me what my favourite food group is, its brunch. The next 13 days will be on point until I can enjoy some fabulous french toast, eggs (with yolk!) fruit (I plan on being in a fruit coma - bring on the cherries, peaches, watermelon and grapes), oatmeal made with milk (mmmm delish), cupcakes, a celebratory mimosa and amazing group of friends to share it all with. 

Can't wait to toast with all of you as well, my fellow online friends...Sending lots of love and positive energy back to you as you have done for me. 

And....onto the outfit....Another Dress borrowed from Aunty R....Here is our little deal. I take her clothes, get them altered, wear a few times and give back. For me its like having a wardrobe on consignment. and it keeps things in BOTH of our closets rotating (though I have to say I get a much better bargain than she does ;P) 

What I am Wearing
Dress: Borrowed from Aunty R (Bought at the Bay on Sale and it sat in her closet for a good 2 years because it was too big!)
Sweater: Tristan and America (mine ;) at least 5 years old)
Belt: J Crew
Shoes: BCBG Girls (I wear these a lot, you can see them here, and here)
Necklace: Aldo worn here
