Pinterest Inspiration

I have told you that I've needed some inspiration so I went to my favourite tool, Pinterest, to find something to get my clothing mojo going. Below is what I decided to re-create with existing pieces in my wardrobe. 

Chambray and black are neutrals so have fun with the scarf you choose. To be honest I was going to pick something else but I had my friend Mangala's voice in my head talking about how much I love animal prints and something about a "safari for all" with my latest posts. So I had to throw this scarf on (I have a zebra print scarf too but leopard is my neutral).

I can't be the only one using Pinterest for style ideas, anyone else using their virtual style boards to get out of a fashion rut or try something new?

My youngest fell while I was taking this shoot, poor guy but that's not the reason I showed this picture, its my hair. I know I have to get my roots done but I have a wedding in the first weekend in November and I have to wait because this mop on my head grows so quickly I don't want to have growth showing in the pictures (I'm the maid of honour so I'm like the second most important person that day). There has to be other people who have faced this quandary...dye it too early and it looks bad for the important day, dye it too late and in the meantime you look a bit off in pictures on your blog.

In the top 3 pictures the tank underneath rode up so you can't see it, I realized this and took some more. I like it better with the white showing.

Kristina - I went to try the pants on and they didn't look good at all (for those who are confused they are gold & coral brocade found in H&M). I couldn't even take a picture. So you're right my maybe is yes...

One more thing...I still need your votes. I made it through to the top 25 and I'd like to stay in the top 15. If you can please vote by clicking here or on the badge that says Circle of Moms. Last time I checked I was #13, you can vote once every 24 hrs. Once the voting is done I will stop posting this annoying message. Thanks!

Vince Blazer - Leather is Back!

I love leather, I have been in love with it since I was 13. Yes 13, it was when I got my first leather jacket. Now leather is huge again!! So here I am featuring a leather Vince blazer, paired with dark purple J Brand jeans and a Tilo scarf. Kathleen from Carriage Trade styled me up and I think she did a great job.

Above is how I tied the scarf, below is how Kathleen did it. I need to take some lessons from Kathleen.

Coloured Denim is not going anywhere soon - YEAH! If you don't want to do anything crazy try a dark purple or wine coloured pair. It will give you that hit of colour without making you feel uncomfortable. This dark pair of purple/wine J Brand denim looks great paired with taupe, nude, brown, black or any mauve colour.
