Thanksgiving

It is Thanksgiving week-end and as I type this my husband is packing the car to go visit our family. He thinks I am ready to go and my hair is still soaking wet and I haven't packed my bag yet! So I need to hurry! Tomorrow is a holiday so I am taking the day off. To all my Canadian friends have a wonderful Thanksgiving. I could tell you all of the things I am thankful for but my list is too long!

Fuschia Jeans....Again

I went out for dinner with some friends the other night and this is what I wore. It was a little cool so I needed the scarf plus it matched my pants so definitely a win win! It is our Thanksgiving this weekend so I am looking forward to eating lots of great food and spending time with family.
Happy Friday, enjoy your week-ends!

Eyelet Dress

We are definitely being spoiled with the weather this week. After tons of rain last week, this week has been sunny and warm. My son participated in his first cross country meet yesterday and I was expecting to freeze but was pleasantly surprised when the sun was beating down and I was quite warm.
Today is going to be much the same. I wore this dress during the summer with wedges and have transitioned it for a more fall like look.

This is how I wore it in the summer

Here it is for the fall.

I think I may like it more with the cardigan open.

Plaid

This is a bit of a different take on plaid. I bought this shirt years ago and haven't worn it in a while. Yesterday we got a new stove, after my dinner party near disaster my stove decided to never work again. I'm looking forward to being able to cook. Check out my new ring, I know it is the last thing I need but I couldn't resist. It's appropriately called the Armadillo.

White Jeans in the Fall

I certainly got a lot of good use out of my white jeans over the summer, however,  one of the fashion debates has always been can I wear white in the fall/winter? Well, not sure where all of these fashion rules started but I always say wear what you want when you want! So I thought I would show how to transition your white jeans into a fall outfit. What do you think? Will you be wearing white jeans beyond the summer?

Lazy Day

After a very busy week-end I am feeling a little lazy today. I wore this sweater a couple weeks ago on it's own with a statement necklace. Today I just threw it over a plaid shirt. An easy look for a rainy fall day.

Sunday Quote

Happy Sunday Quote Day! Had such a great day yesterday at our Pop Up Sale. It was super successful and we are hoping to do it again. Enjoy the rest of your week-ends.

Sweatshirts

It is definitely a sweatshirt kind of day. The beautiful weather we have been having all week came to a screeching halt today with thunderstorms and cool temps. I'm still feeling sorry for myself that I never got any of the Phillip Lim line from Target, so to make myself feel better I pulled out this Proenza Schouler sweatshirt I got from the last collaboration at Target. Perfect for a stormy kind of day.

Fuschia

Pairing my Fuschia pants today with Black & White. This blazer is so old but I still love it and have worn it a million times. I'm getting excited, we are having a pop up store on Saturday for my online store nJOYd. Lots to do before Saturday!

Birthday Gifts

I am wearing some of my Birthday Gifts today. My necklace, bracelet and watch were all gifts I received. Do my friends and husband know me or what? This top is one of the ones I mentioned yesterday that I picked up as part of my September Budget. I love that it is blue and black, the collar is perfect and it was $7.00! Not sure why the picture is so dark, one of these days I need to learn how to better use my camera.

September Budget

I cannot believe it is already October. Although I am happy that the weather is still somewhat ok. The sun is shining and it is not below 10 degrees which in my book is a great thing. Just added up my September budget and I did pretty amazing. 4 tops, 1 pair of shoes, 1 purse, 1 scarf and 2 necklaces = $84.00 minus $23.00 of gift cards = $61.00

Cobalt Blue Pants

I had a great week-end. My dinner party was a success on Friday night. (Other than my stove deciding not to work, and having to carry my one dish over to my neighbours to cook.) We also had a lot of fun last night, my friend and I sat in the golf cart and chatted while our husbands played golf, then we went out for dinner at a new restaurant.
I wore my cobalt blue pants, I love these pants and have worn them many times. Check out the last pic to see all of the different ways. Also my husband bought me a new owl necklace a few weeks ago (to add to my growing collection), isn't it cute.

Authenticity

Happy Sunday Quote Day! This is such a great reminder as it really does need to be a daily practice to just be who you are and not try to be something else.
We are off this afternoon with friends as my husband wants to get in some golf before it gets to cold. To practice what I preach below I will not TRY to be a golfer, instead my friend and I will sit and chat in the golf cart while our husbands play!

TGIF

Tonight I am hosting a Birthday Dinner Party for one of my oldest friends. We have been through High School together, we lived together in University, I visited her when she moved to L.A, she was one of my bridesmaids when I got married and now we are lucky enough to only live a few minutes away from each other. So, I have a million and one things to do today before everyone arrives.
 The weather is all over the place one minute it is hot the next it is cold, I love this sweater for in-between weather. Hope everyone has a wonderful week-end. TGIF!

Travis

We went to see the band Travis last night at a small venue in Toronto. It was a really great show. My husband and I have pretty different tastes in music, he is into a lot more alternative type music while I tend to like more pop and old school 80's! Every once in a while though we agree and last night was one of those times.
I wore this new grey shirt which is so amazingly soft and feels like a sweatshirt. Perfect since there were no seats at this concert, comfort was very important.

Rock n Roll

I can't help but feel a little rock n roll every time I wear these pants. Thought I would tone them down with a cream blouse and blazer but nope...I still feel a little rock n roll.
Speaking of rolling, yesterday I took a nasty roll on my deck, not my finest moment but luckily a large planter broke my fall so I was able to get up a little banged up and sore with just my dignity bruised.
