It's Friday which means everyone should have a smile on their face! Unless you're like me and you woke up to find snow on the ground! Ugh! Thankfully it will not last the day! I'm so sorry for the lack of posts lately. Mr. M took me out on a little road trip for a few days and I've spent the past week catching up on work and on my beauty sleep. Getting away from our daily lives can definitely be fun but not always relaxing. It would be so nice to take time off and not have to play catch up afterwards.    

Nothing too exciting happened this week, unless the re-opening of the Bulk Barn counts as something exciting. If you're someone like me who loves candy, especially in BULK, then yes it definitely counts!! And I'm not ashamed to admit that I spent 15$ just on candy. I needed something to cheer me up. The weather has been awful this past week. What happened to that beautiful warm 20 degrees Celsius weather we had last week? Eff...

On to the outfit.  There are a few recent purchases that I've been anxious to share with you. The first item is the Artizan watch that was mentioned in my last post. I purchased it right before my little getaway and brought it along with me of course. I was just so excited, I couldn't leave it behind. I also purchased two rings from the new Artizan collection. And the last item is a super fun colour block top from Maurices. As I've mentioned before, I'm currently loving the black and gold trend. So much so that I just had to do another outfit. This time with a little pop of colour.







Blazer ~ Ricki's. Colour Block Top ~ Maurices (available here).
Leather Pants ~ Winners. Flats ~ Artizan. Jewellery ~ Artizan.
Bag ~ Pottery Lane.
The quilted ballet flats are also from Artizan and they are super comfortable. So much so that I also own a tan pair. :)


Hope you enjoy this outfit. Please vote for me on Chictopia! :)      
I woke up yesterday morning wishing I could spend the whole day outdoors enjoying the sun instead of going into work...but as it turns out, I had a really exciting day. We recieved an Artizan order for the giftshop and although unpacking boxes is not part of my job, I definitely always help out on this one. Not only because it's fun and exciting and brings a smile to my face every time I pull something out of the box, I also get first pick!! :) The Artizan collections are always so beautiful . If you havn't already heard of it, I highly recommend checking out the website! This gorgeous watch is one of the many items I fell in love with.



The black and gold trend has been very popular on the red carpet these past couple of months and I'm absolutely loving it!



Here is my black + gold inspired look. I had been searching for the perfect quilted bag and I instantly fell in love with this one. I love the chunky gold accents!

Looks like I got my wish! Spring is finally here! The snow practically disappeared overnight and I could not be any happier. I've been jumping around and doing my booty shaking happy dance all week!  It feels so good to feel the warmth of the sun on my skin again! 
I've spent the past week going through my wardrobe, replacing all of my winter stuff with summer stuff. When it comes to cleaning out my closet, and reorganizing, which I do every time the season changes, there's only one rule I like to follow. I came across this wonderful fashion tip in a magazine article a few years back and I've been following it ever since. It's really quite simple and actually makes alot of sense. If there is something in your closet that makes you feel negative in anyway, get rid of it. You should be able to grab anything from your closet already knowing it looks good, fits good and feels good. It definitely simplifies things when it comes to choosing my outfit for the day.

On to the outfit. On a recent shopping excursion with mum, I came across these red suede shoes which of course was love at first sight! As I made my way over to the cashier, she immediately pointed out the matching suede bag and although I did consider it, I said no due to the fact that I had already gone over my budget. That is until mum came around and convinced me that I absolutely needed it. Oh how easily persuaded I am when it comes to fashion. Eff! :)

Every morning I wake up hoping the snow magically disappeared over night and then I look out the window and realize, not only is it still there, but I swear, there appears to be more of it! WHY? I decided to wear this floral dress today (previously worn here), hoping it would help satisfy my longing for spring, which wasn't as effective as I'd hoped. I paired it with a yellow belt and this yellow scarf, which I absolutely adore, and judging by all of the compliments I receive every time I wear it, I would say other people adore it as well! I also got some more wear out of this flared coat, which as you might have noticed by the previous post, has a removable fur collar.

We are now in March and just as I was beginning to think spring is finally around the corner, we get a huge snow storm and super cold weather. UGH! So now I'm forced to wear all of those warm winter layers and I'm not at all thrilled...not one bit. Spring is in all of the magazines and my favourite stores. All of my favourite bloggers are already wearing super cute spring outfits but I'm still surrounded by snow and it's truly depressing. I decided to make the best of it and took a few shots of this flared coat that I've only worn once or twice this winter. The coat is from H&M and it was definitely love at first site. I still remember how pretty and elegant I felt when I first tried it on in the store. Wearing it today has definitely brightened my day, and my mood. This is what I love about fashion. It's as simple as wearing something wonderful to instantly make you FEEL wonderful! Since the polka dot trend is super hot right now, I wore a sheer polka dot blouse for something new and fresh.
