Wardrobe Wednesday: eShakti Scarf

Photobucket

How cute is this scarf? I mean come on, fashion bunnies? Yes please! When the good people at eShakti sent it my way, I instantly became obsessed with not only the print, but the soft, luxurious texture as well... It's seriously the loveliest wool scarf I've ever felt!

To get your own scarf (or anything else for that matter!), use the promo code "ADINF0811" and get $20 off your next eShakti purchase...

Happy Wednesday, lovelies! xx

Now you all know how I feel about wearing vintage fur (and only vintage fur), so it should come as no surprise that I couldn't resist scooping up this wrap a few years ago at Value Village... It's a Hudson's Bay Company piece with the most darling vintage label and lining, and every time I wear it I try to imagine who it used to belong to. As far as I'm concerned, that's by far the best part of wearing vintage— you know, taking an old, previously-loved piece and breathing new life into it... Magic.

What's your favourite vintage piece? I wanna know! xx

I thrifted this clutch last summer in Victoria for only $2.99, and so far it's been an invaluable addition to my collection. It's super roomy and versatile, and it's vibrant colour livens up any old outfit... Just look at how many times I've worn it already!

What's your go-to bag? xx

My favourite fall/winter accent? I have two words for you: Faux. Fur.

This cowl from Michael Kors was far too delicious to pass up and, thanks to my employee discount, rather affordable as well... Cha-ching!

PS- A big thank you goes out to my lovely friend Shaamini for snapping these pics for me... What a pal ♡

Wardrobe Wednesday: T-Post Edition

Photobucket

Photobucket

Have you guys heard of T-Post? If not, brace yourselves... You see my friends, T-Post is a "wearable magazine," meaning subscribers get a new t-shirt every month that has a printed news story on the inside, and a graphic interpretation of that story on the outside... Pretty cool, huh?

When they contacted me I was super stoked on the idea, and the fashion-loving journalist inside desperately wished I had thought of this first, but that's neither here nor there... But seriously, why didn't I think of this?!! It's brilliant! *sigh*

Anyway, my "issue" featured a story about the Komen Foundation and how they claim to own the phrase "for the cure," as well as use of the color pink, which have become synonymous with their breast cancer campaign. Apparently they're suing other charitable organizations over trademark infringement and whatnot... Go figure.

To check out previous issues, or to get a sense of the T-Post aesthetic, click here... This one's definitely my favorite! Happy Wednesday, my sweets! xx

Wardrobe Wednesday: iPhone Edition

So you know how I painted one of my necklaces with nail polish a little while ago? Well my friends, it's official: I'm now hopelessly addicted to lacquering anything and everything I can get my hands on... Inexpensive jewelry of the world beware!

I found a set of rhinestone stacking rings at H&M on sale for $2 a little while ago and practically squealed at the thought of Tom Binns-ing them up... What, that's totally a verb, right?

What DIY's are you guys gaga over these days? xx

Now I know long-time readers have seen this clutch before, but I just couldn't resist bringing it out once again in blog form... I found him (yes, it's a he) at a Salvation Army a couple years back and was instantly drawn to his finish, size and, of course, 80's vibe. To my delight, he turned out to be vintage Stuart Weitzman and cost, if memory serves, about $28. Pricey by SA standards, but a fist-pumping good deal for a Weitzman... Oh yeah.

Happy Wednesday, lovelies! xx

One of the best parts of fall? Besides the falling leaves, dark nail polishes and cozy layers that we all know and love, it's all about the boots in my books... There's just something intoxicating about tracking down the perfect pair, and dreaming up enough tights-dress-scarf combos to keep you dressed until spring... *sigh*

For me, it was love at first sight with these bad boys. They pretty much capture everything I want in an ankle boot (shape, colour, almond toe) for an unbeatable price... Now let's just hope I can walk in them!

What's your favourite shoe for fall? xx

Hello lovelies! For this instalment of Wardrobe Wednesday, I thought it would be fun to show you a piece that I haven't worn in quite some time - much to Mr. AIF's dismay, I'm sure! You see, he thoughtfully picked out this bracelet for me a couple of birthdays back, but for some reason it hasn't had much play lately...

Now that's by no means a reflection of my love for little VuVu (that's what I named it- don't ask), but rather an indication that I have some serious jewelry ADHD or something... *Shrug*

Happy Wednesday! xx

There's something magical about having a goal, setting out to achieve it, and finally succeeding... Especially when such goals are fashion-related. Now I don't know about you, but somehow when I actually want something, I never seem to be able to find it. Sad but true. That's why I was pleasantly surprised to find a pair of wedges that fit my criteria (cute and comfy) that were- get this- actually on sale... Can you believe my luck? I barely can... xx

Hi lovelies! If you follow me on Twitter, you may have read that I forgot all my jewelry in Victoria... I know, tragic right? Anyway, until I get my little treasure trove shipped over to me, I thought it only right to buy a little something something to tide me over... Enter Forever 21.

Now is it just me, or is F21 the hottest spot for jewelry steals? Not literally, I just mean you can always find the look for less. For instance, I scooped up this statement piece for, brace yourself, $10! Woot woot!

Have you guys had any awesome steals lately that you wanna share? Dish! xx

My lovely aunt from Greece sent me a couple of goodies last week, and I couldn't resist showing you guys... Aren't they cute? I'm absolutely IN LOVE with the Zara cardigan for it's rich fall colour and elbow patches, and the sandals are really sweet and unlike anything else I own... Can you say win-win? Thanks, Thea!!! xx

Hello my sweets! How is everyone today? I've been sitting on these photos for several weeks now, just dying to show you my vintage cat eyes... I bought them about a month ago at Value Village (only $7.99!) and instantly fell in love with their shape and mother of pearl detailing - pretty, huh? But what with my style portfolio taking precedence one Wednesday, and a styling issue the next (two would-be posts featuring turbans in a row!), I didn't get to post these until just now... What can you do.


Happy Wednesday, my little adventurers! xx

Last weekend was my cousin's wedding, and true to form, I realized I was out of pantyhose (yes, I said pantyhose) a couple of hours before the nuptials were set to start. So what did I do? Why I made a mad dash to the Bay (my trusty hosiery provider), of course! Yet in between searching for the perfect pair of Hue's, a little something something caught my eye...


I fell in love with this silver statement ring the moment I laid eyes on it... It pretty much begged me to take it home! And who am I to resist such a heartfelt plea? Because let's be serious here, for under $20, I would have been crazy NOT to have bought it... Just saying.
