Ebb and Flow

One thing is for certain. I have a deep obsession with pairing these heels with this necklace. With every outfit I put on I have to put both of these items back, restraining myself from accessorizing the same every single day. I'll probably do this for about 5 more outfits and then move on completely. Do you ever do that with certain items? I'm crazy about something for 3 months straight and then don't wear it for another 6 months. This could also have to do with seasons and weather. But I'll let you decide.

I'm breaking my "tucking is good for you" rule today. What a little rebel. I just make these rules to break them. But honestly it's because my pants come up a bit too high to tuck this shirt in. And it just looked better this way. I like the flowiness [adj. when flow meets more flow and they get together and make a lot of flow. Also see: billowy] of this structured shirt. I think perhaps next time I'll pair it with skinny jeans, but I like this look. Plus it was super comfortable today. I didn't even feel like I was at work. Until my phone rang and the emails came flooding in and someone knocked on my door and woke me up. But other than that, I felt great today.

If you read the Modly Chic interview, yes it's all true. I really do get dressed in the dark every day. I don't however shower in the dark. That s**t is scary.

(Before I forget, I wanted to give a little warning if you are purchasing the red suede heels online. The ones that I have are the red suede heels, not to be confused with the equally cute canvas ones. However, the canvas ones are more of a light coral, not the orangey red you see on my blog)

on the road again...

Some of you may have noticed my recent lack of blogging, and so please consider this post my way of apologizing... You see, dear reader, I have been in the process of relocating from my beautiful island city of Victoria all the way to Edmonton, Alberta... So after weeks of cleaning, sorting and packing, Mr. AIF and I tearfully (well, on my part at least!) said goodbye to our friends and family before making the epic 14 hour drive to our new home. With only a few minor blips along the way (mainly, arriving to our new place at 10 pm only to find that the electricity had been turned off!), we have been busy easing in to our new surroundings, which seem pretty amazing so far... And with daily jaunts to Ikea and the like taking up most of my time, I never dreamed that moving could be so fun! Thank you for all your patience, and believe me when I say that AIF will be back on track soon... pinky swear!

Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak. Courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

1. my new pocket watch, i love it! 2.an outfit with my pocket watch. 3. my outfit with the h&m dress I never worn bevore but I already have it for a long time. 4. my favorite chain bag and red flats. 5. my catrice nailpolishes. 6. my new brown leather primark bag. 7. my new black overknees boots.

Sorry again for the lack of posting, but school starts again. A new year, new students and new teachers! It's all new and I'm not used to it yet. So that's the reason why I haven't post for a long time.. But I did bought some nice things . On picture 1 you can see my new pocket watch. I also bought the famous brown Primark bag I wanted so damn badly (the one I have in black). And last but not least, my new black overknees! I love the trend. Well, I hope I get things good with this post! xxx

Best Dressed At The Emmy Awards 2010

The Emmy Awards 2010 secured its place as the one of the best-dressed events of the year with breathtaking appearances from stars including Glee’s Lea Michele, Mad Men’s January Jones, Desperate Housewife Eva Longoria Parker and Claire Danes (who won the Lead Actress Award). Our favourite leading ladies battled it out on the red carpet in lust-worthy designer dresses to scoop the best-dressed award of the day – but we just couldn’t decide on the winner!
The Hollywood boys didn’t disappoint either. George Clooney, who took home the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, set the fashion standard in a classic tuxedo by Giorgio Armani – swoon!
The fashion fabulous Mad Men took one of the top awards of the night with the Best Drama Award, whilst Glee’s Jane Lynch (Sue Sylvester) took home the award for Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. There were two official British winners of the night with Archie Panjabi picking up the award for best supporting actress for her role in TV Drama The Good Wife and Julia Ormond, who won Best Supporting Actress in for her performance in TV film Temple Grandin.

Beg, Steal or Borrow

I can not believe it is August 30th. This month has flown by. Time flies when you document what you wear every day on the internet.*
It has finally dipped below 100 degrees here. It hung around 89 today, so very nice. That's why I busted out the old cardigan. I can just smell fall, hanging around like that creepy kid in jr. high that had a crush on you but you were way too tall for him. Like a foot taller, so it would have been weird to date, you know? But then you might have dated him for three days, and then you broke up with him one night while rollerblading. After that you'd see him creeping in hallways just like the season of fall. See? That made complete sense. You thought I was just going off on some random dialogue again.
Shout out to reader Jessica who works at Anthropologie and is so nice and always says hello when we go in. Thank you for believing me when I told you that my purse would beep when I went through the sensor detectors. I promise that I did not steal anything. But I can't speak for my husband. He works alone. I'll give him a good pat-down tonight. (too much?)
Hey, hey check out my interview over at Modly Chic, only if you want. No pressure. Of course there might be a quiz later this week, but it's up to you...pretty please?

*give or take 3 days out of the week.
