And secondly, check out the bling, ladies and gents. I'm really figuring out this accessories thing, I think.  I'm wearing a bunch of mixed bracelets from Old Navy and H&M, an INPINK ring, and a F21 ring.  My current fav is that gorgeous rhinestone number with the rows of brown, gold, and cream crystals...sooooooo pretty :)  Now, I would be stacking on a whole lot more rings, but I just can't seem to find ones my ring/pointer fingers because they're so dad-gum small (they had to custom make my wedding ring in a size 4.25 lol) -- any tips???




What's making you happy today???

P.s. Check out the flippin' adorable floral bow headband I got this weekend from Swaychic!!!

So for that first double...the highlight of this weekend for me was definitely my first blogger meet up...with Miss Lori of A Little Slice of Special :)  She has been one of my favourite bloggers for quite some time now, and quite fortunately lives only minutes away.  I asked Lori to join me at an awesome local coffee shop called J. Arthur's that makes amazing artisan, organic drinks using local products...she came in the most adorable little blue Mini Cooper, and wearing the snazziest pair of J. Crew sparkly shorts that she just thrifted for a steal.  Lori and I ended up sitting outside in the glorious sunshine for just over two hours (did you catch that?) just chatting up a storm!!!


Lori and I covered everything from Ryan Gosling and pitbulls to gall bladder surgery and almond milk.  Lori is soooooooooo easy to talk to and refreshingly genuine.  She made me feel free to share a lot about my life, so hopefully I didn't scare her away!!!  I was just so happy to discover that she's just as amazing and honest in real life as she is on her blog -- her openness and sincerity were what first drew me to A Little Slice of Special, and it's what made our outing such a blast.  I was nervous going in, not gonna lie...but she put me so at my ease that I felt like we were old friends in no time at all.  She must not have minded me too too much, since she extended the sweetest invitation to my man and I.  Sauerkraut pizza and board game night, here we come :)


And of course, gotta close the post with another couple doubles.  This is the outfit I wore on day two of my weekend, just for a trip to the grocery store and some quality time with my man.  I love this ASOS cotton tee because it's light and easy to throw on with jeans, but has these amazing 1940s details :)  And check those double bracelets.  Watch this girl accessorize!

Scored these moccasins at Target.  One of the best purchases of my life, since I now spend my days wearing cushy leather slippers that only cost me $7.  Didn't do too bad on this vintage Chinese silk scarf either...$3 at Goodwill :)


I've always loved shadow shots like these...me and the man friend have a couple really fun ones from dates we've been on...you know, the ones where your shadows are holding hands (or kissing, hehe).


Aaaaaaaaand here's a picture of the most handsome man in the world!!!  I don't know about you, but I find strong jawlines and broad chests very attractive...mostly because that's exactly what my sweetheart has :)  It's been really nice spending more time with this man lately -- he works a lot of night shifts and I work days, but we've really made it a point lately to have no (or few) weekend plans so that we get to spend those days together.  Both of us have just been eating up that time, reading books together or watching movies and old TV shows or going on walks and fast food dinner dates.  After all, what's more important than nourishing your mutual connections and understanding???  We're committed for life, no matter what, so we've gotta keep getting to know each other more and more and loving each other better an better -- definitely NOT a bad thing :)

I am quite proud of how this fountain shot turned out...look at the amazing colour of the sky and those gorgeous white fluffies!  And the water droplets were just misting everywhere in the breeze as you can see.  Soooooo refreshing and pretty on a sunny hot day, not to mention that anything artistic like that fountain sculpture just feeds my soul!!!  Drayton, art, and a lot of water -- all my favourite things :)  I could have sat there for the whole weekend and just enjoyed the beauty.

And of course an excuse to wear my fab shoes from Oasap!!!

For these photos, I chose to pair the black with a nice, tawny leather...thought the high sandals and beaded necklace kept it feminine, but the belt with the pouch plays up that safari feel.  Plus, I lovepairing brown and black together!!!  I couldn't decide whether to style it like I'm travelling Africa or urban chic, so it kinda ended up being neither!  I guess that's pretty much me...I just go with whatever I'm feeling regardless of actual style trends, haha.





And yes...I'm still doing a great job piling on those bracelets and rings.  Those little shell ones and the braided tan leather are my newest contributions to the Make Cambria's Arm Pretty campaign.  I think I'm going to be really good at this by the end of the year.

Just to tempt you into this contest, I thought I'd show you the gorgeous little gift that A'muse Me Boutique sent to me -- this foxy and fabulous emerald green clutch.  I've heard (and seen) that this particular shade of green is one of the "it" colours this season, and couldn't be happier.  I just love these jewel tone shades, esp as accent colours to a more demure ensemble.  In fact, that's just what I've done here -- paired my snazzy hand candy with a white and black outfit just to make it pop :)


Not to mention, that beautiful shade of green and the pretty texture of the material make this another great accessory for my little ol' accessorizing Cambria project :)  Doesn't it look pretty with these sparkly rings and bracelets?  I subtly threw pink tones on my wrist and hand -- since I'm carrying a green purse, those colours will really accentuate each other.  This I learned in high school art class...




**P.s. isn't this peplum amazing?! Another score from ASOS...it buttons all the way down the back and has the perkiest little ruffles at the hip.  Go back and do a double-take if you missed the deets at first glance...they're really lovely!!!
