Ain't Easy being Green: Utility Jacket and Flats

Typical Rainy tuesday and I had to do some errands...Could the weather be any crappier!!? lol..Life, lemons and all, you know the saying.

I usually dress comfortably when I run errands so as not to deter from getting all the things on list! to check out what I wore...

NYC: Departure outfit:: Utility Jacket and Boots

Departure day...or night.

We officially crossed the border at around 11pm, at which time we had several hours to kill before our flight. To me it seemed ideal seeing as how our previous trip to NYC went off to a shaky start with a red-eye flight leaving us super tired...

I decided long ago to dress comfy for this flight --i initially decided and wore my aritzia fair aisle lambswool sweater, but a few hours in while at the airport, it proved slightly warmer than anticipated.  Luckily, I had my jacket to switch to in case the occasion called for it....

to check out what I finally wore to our departure to NYC..check it out!

Sunday Errands: coral romper in a heatwave

Happy Sunday!  I hope everyone's had as good a weekend as I have.  Today was an errand day for me as I had to once again pick up stuff for my trip to NYC in a week! *yay!* I am so excited but I know I still have lots to do before my trip...

I decided to wear something super comfy to run around and do my errands.  I love rompers, they are so comfy and stylish...It's my answer to a lazy-dressing day --I don't have to worry about top and bottom..Just throw it on and off you go!

Casual warmth: Knit Cape and Leggings

Wednesday was rainny and gloomy so when I had to run some errands at the mall I decided to get cozy in my fave knit cape and leggings for maximum comfort and warmth.

Outfit inspiration: sunday brunch!

Happy....monday!?

I decided to do another outfit pull for you...I decided to call this, Sunday Brunch! Yesterday was a beautiful sunday which my cousin and I spent walking around Robson.  I found this dress at Aritzia, which I was surprised was under $100! I hardly find any dresses there for under that price! lol.  It's from Talula and it's a great summer dress that can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion!

Celebrity Inspired: Eva Longoria

Okay in fairness, I put this together before seeing the picture of Eva Longoria.  When running errands, I love to wear comfy clothing --especially if it means having to go to different places to get them done. 

I changed it a bit by wearing a loose henley instead of a button down.  I love this top cause it's super comfy!  I love it so much that I bought it in black as well!

OOTD: Neutrals and Creams

 

It was a slightly cloudy but not a bad morning so I decided to wear my spring-ish neutrals and creams.  I love ivory hues, they just look so clean and crisp!

the feminine touch

The forecast called for spring-like temps and a guaranteed sunny day so I thought I'd bring my spring clothes out of hiatus and wear it just for today...Afterall, the rain was forecasted to come back the next day, so it's the perfect  opportunity today!

I was going to wear heels, but ended up just wearing my flats to be more comfortable.

Happy Friday in living color!

It was such a gorgeous sunny friday!  For casual friday, I decided to wear my colored jeans in a beautiful vibrant blue hue.  I gotta say, it beats the normal blue jean blues...

Date Night: Oysi!

One of my fave places to go to during date night with my bf is to Oysi Oysi Japanese Restaurant.  Their food is delish!

Casual date night in downtown...

I heart Cable!

Several years ago Jacob came out with this Cable knit turtleneck sweater in cream that was to die for! I love the thick knit of it, and it just looked so plush and luxurious, like a cable knit throw you wanna just envelop you on a cold day.  I was never able to buy it, what with my situation as a starving student back then.  It has haunted me ever since lol.  Just like my great cape search, the cable knit sweater has been one of those elusive items on  my list of must haves that has never been checked off--at least, not quite yet.

It's not that the cable knit doesn't come out every year, there are certainly lots of variations on it, with hood or without, zippers and different colours.  I think it's my picky nature that has prevented me from buying just any kind of cable knit sweater.  I've been meticulous about what kind and the feel of sweater I want.  If I am to wear this all around for the rest of the cold weather, wouldn't it be smart to wear a sweater that feels like a blanket instead of a burlap sack??

Here is one option that I found recently...

Garage Clothing - Cable Mock Neck Cardigan $39.80(CDN)

Back to basics: Winter 2010 Edition!

I've been hearing lately that because of the whole La Nina phenomenon, Vancouver is supposedly going to be getting the worst winter since 50 years ago.  If that hasn't scared me, I don't know what will! lol.  I am convinced that I am more than ever going to need more cozy, winter-proof clothes to keep me from getting sick this winter!

I recently went to Aritzia with my cousin because I've been dying to see their henley tee's.  I have been looking for henleys all summer long for fall and finally, they start coming out, slowly but surely! I recently bought one from Garage.  Not too long ago, they were not so easy to find!

The one I ended up buying...

It wasn't too expensive, just $19.90 (CDN).  100% cotton and very soft!  I love when my basic wear is suuuper soft! =)

Then a couple of days ago, I perused the Aritzia website hoping that they'd at last put up a catalogue of items they sell, at least some if not all and at least from their TNA line if nothing else!  Huzzah! they did!=)

Here are the henleys I found from Aritiza...

Community Wool Henley - Retail $60 (CDN) - Wool/Nylon Blend for a soft feel without the super itch I can only imagine lol.  I recently saw this in person (even asking the salesperson to find it for me! lol) and I have to say, it doesn't have the feel of wool.  The price seems abit steep but for wool, I guess it should be right on the money.

The other is The TNA Henley Tee version.  I think it's only cotton, but I wasn't able to find it so I'll have to confirm once I see it in person this weekend.

TNA Henley T-shirt - Retail $45 (CDN)
Standard henley tee, great for layering on top of tanks for more warmth.  I love the white, though the details are hard to see in this image.

Having a jacket that provides maximum protection and warmth for winter time is important, but so is knowing how to dress warmly for indoors as well.  Sometimes, it's just as important to know how to layer to keep warm while outside but not be too warm once you get indoors.
