Hey beauties! It's hard going back to work today after an amazing long weekend but you gotta do what you gotta do. I officially have only 12 weeks left before my maternity leave begins so I try to take it easy already and not stress.
I have done a look similar to this a few times already but it's just one of those dramatic looks that work. I love the bold fuchsia and purple during the warm season and they bring out my eyes so I can't lose. I went simpler on the lips and wore one of my favourite pinks, Nars Roman Holiday Lipstick.
Hope you enjoy this look :) and ughhh my skin is still looking burnt :(

This is the dress I wore with the look above. We were hosting a Victoria Day brunch and I went for girlie pattern on the dress. This one is by Espirit (last year) and yey it still fits my belly! I'm sad that Espirit is closing their North American stores. They have some great basic sweaters and summer dresses :( My hair is just in a french braid as I just washed it before our guests arrived:

We're going through un-seasonally warm temperatures right now and I thought the mood was right to do a nautical inspired look. Do you guys remember MAC Naughty Nautical collection from spring 2008? That was one of my fave collections they ever did. I have a few items and used them in combination with other staples to create this look. Hope you like it :)
Oh btw, I'm probably a bit rusty again as it's been over a month since I wore colours on my eyes. I'm slowly getting back into the game though...

And here's a simple outfit pic, but it was in the nautical theme. The pinstripe top is from Espirit, dark boot cut jeans from DKNY, red round toe pumps by Jessica Simpson. The earring I found in a market in Montreal last summer. They're made of some kind of nut and I wear them a lot :D Also as you can see, I'm not showing much of the pregnancy yet (17 weeks). We'll see what will happen in a few weeks though....
Have an awesome weekend everyone!

This look is from yesterday which was my last day of work till Jan 3, 2012. As you can see there's lotsa pink going there, lol! But I don't care! I love me some bubblegum bright pinks :D

OMG Christmas is almost here and this procrastinator has not finished her shopping yet! I always have my tree and decorations up early and then flake up when it comes to hitting the busy malls for gift buying. Gotta get down to it this weekend though.
I kept wanting to include my outfit of the days with my makeup posts and fail at it half the time. But I have for you a buncha looks from this past week. I'm more a of a colourful girl but for some reason last week I was all about the neutrals as you can see. I need a better area for taking pics though, the narrow hallway is not ideal and it's too cold to pose outside, lol!
Here we go:
Cable sweater by Esprit (I love Esprit for their basic winter stuff, I went in there last week and left with SIX sweaters), skirt by Zara (last season), tights by H&M, leopard print pumps by Nine West and necklace by Le Chateau.
Lace applique top by Bedo (I love Bedo and definitely have a problem with collecting lacy tops), camel pants by Dynamite, booties by Steve Madden.
Blush sheer top I found at Winners' (I don't usually like loose styles but this one works for me), suede dress from Le Chateau Outlet, tights by American Apparel, booties by Guess.
This look is from last weekend as you can tell by the casual vibe: long sweater by BCBG, leggings by Zara, vest I found at Winners' and the boots are my beloved riding ones from Italy.
Hope you guys have a great weekend :)
