Will you be my Valentine everyday?
Here's a little something that I stumbled upon, that I thought was too cute (and true) not to share.<3

Dear Celebrity: Katie Holmes
Dear Katie Holmes,
While doing my daily perusal of PerezHilton.com, I stumbled upon a photograph of you and your husband spending time together. While this actual act is quite mundane, I got excited as I caught a glimpse of your polka dot knit sweater (as seen here) that I believe is the same one I purchased at H&M.
I must admit that a majority of the time your day-to-day outfits do not capture my complete attention. However, knowing that I just purchased the same sweater, albeit with a nude base rather than the white, I gasped with joy thinking that I was starting to dress like a celebrity.
So Katie Holmes, I applaud you for your financial savvy when it comes to your casual clothing and show that celebrities are just as able to find good clothes at stores like H&M.
Sincerely,
S

the excitement of love at first sight
Is it wrong that I love this outfit? While I may never be able to pull this off look, I gasped with amazement when I stumbled upon this picture as well as many others while taking a break from work. Imagine my excitement when I opened up the Zara homepage to find a completely redesigned webpage.
Let me just say yay for Zara in taking a closer step to allowing customers to purchase things online. Zara's new webpage design is clean and simple to use. Best of all it actually lets you take a good look at each individual piece being offered in Zara stores with accurate pricing.
More blog posts coming soon as I (with the help of my co-workers) have been coming up with some great post topics.

Knits
Now that fall and winter are upon us, it's time to start embracing the knits all over again. I have already lined up several projects - hopefully I'll find the time to get these done. I am currently drooling over knit sweaters and cardigans that are reminiscent of an older era. Patterns, embellishments, and baggy slouchiness are all very attractive.
Since Vancouver has returned to its rainy condition, I have purchased several sweaters that I am just itching (pun? we'll see) to wear. The only issue I have when I'm looking for these knits is that they DON'T itch. I'm really quite sensitive to wool, and there's no point in cozying up in a sweater if I'm going to spend the rest of the day scratching my skin raw and aching to change out of it.
Pictures of new clothes coming up, and when knit projects get completed you will be the first to know.

actions speak louder than words...
I'm wearing an Urban Outfitter's Silence + Noise tie-dyed cropped top over an Urban Outfitter's Kimchi Blue nighty worn as a dress. The dress was another impulse buy, because I fell in love with the print when I walked in. Because the dress was quite sheer, I layered that over a nude slip. All these layers probably wasn't a very good idea considering that Vancouver is going through a ridiculous heat wave. I belted the entire outfit with a studded belt from Garage as a counterpoint to the feminity of the dress.
I didn't actually wear these shoes to work, considering that they're new, unworn and heeled. I would not have survived the day. Instead, I wore a pair of Aldo flats that are only slightly more broken in but already breaking. That will be another post for another day.
