Inspiration...

I am very T.G.I.F today, feeling under the weather never helps either.  As I look forward to this uneventful weekend I plan on lots of resting and vitamin C doses.

Today being the first official day of fall I wanted to some inspiration how to look trendy yet comfortable for those days when stuff needs to get done and you are not looking your most glamorous self.  Well I didn't have to look far because {RueMagazine} found a this photo from London Fall Fashion Week from photographer {krisatomic}.  Could this girl exude any more perfection of classy/comfortable.  I love the idea of pairing these two unlucky pieces together.  Now the key will be to find the perfect skirt and slouchy sweater, I am sure that will be harder then I think .lol

Thanks again to {RueMagazine} for this great Friday inspiration!  I hope you all have a great weekend and do something you love and find inspiration in your life!

Finds...



On a recent shop I spotted these great riding boots at {ALDO}.  I tried them on and to little dismay they were super tight on the calves; I would never be able to get a skinny jean inside.  I considered buying them and having them stretched, and then thought, I will wait a bit to buy them instead.  I also thought they reminded me of a boot I had already seen before. 

So to the interweb I went and VOLIA, I was right, they are a great version of this Chanel Riding Boot!  I love when expensive things are tangible!

Just Because...

Had a sweet treat post fashion show to reward myself for such a good job.  Pat myself on the back here.  Picked up this mini chocolate pistachio crunch mousse cake from {marketfresh}.  If all fashion shows end with chocolate I never want to stop!  It was super yummy and very light, just what a ‘model’ needs  hahaha.


Finds...

I saw this great idea for a fun and creative way to store all your nail polishes {here} on Pintrest.  Find a vase or something cool and fill it with all your different polish colours.  
It makes having your nail polishes on display not cluttered but super cute!









Even Stella wanted to get involved on this photo shoot!

Fall Fun...

As I mentioned {here} I am a model..lol Well Kinda of course!  This past Saturday I was asked to walk in a fashion show for the store {Pennington’s}, hesitant at first, I said yes.  Why not I thought, I needed my ‘something new’ for September anyways.

I went to the fittings, curled my hair, practiced my strut all week and finally all came together for quite an exciting afternoon.  I walked in the show with a bunch of other gorgeous and funny did I mention gorgeous ladies.  Their support backstage was great since this was my first time.

The music started to play and I swung those hips of mine.  I had such a great time, and I am so thankful to my cheering section of 10 family and friends who came out to support me.  Seeing familiar and smiling faces in the crowd for sure calmed my nerves.

The show went by way to fast, I had five looks and yet it still flew by!  I am not sure when I am going to have another chance to be in fashion show so I will try and savor this moment for as long as I can.

Below are some pictures that my sister took for me, Thanks Kirstie and thanks everyone for your support!!!


 







Gripe...

I realize when you are young you can wear the ultra-mini skirt/dress and get away with much more, just want to say that first.  But!  Jordan Sparks wore this ‘dress’ to an event a few weeks back and I think it looks like lingerie or maybe what Tinkerbelle would wear?! She for sure cannot sit down or sneeze in that dress. Hahaha  


This Gripe isn’t at Jordan Sparks, but at this sparkly dress, I mean c’mon she looks fantastic and gorgeous!  Add a couple inches of material and I am all for it!  Happy Wednesday everyone!
