Yesterday I received a 40% off coupon from Gap for their dresses and skirts. Of course, I had to scoot on over to their website to see what they had to offer. What girl would overlook 40% off?
I’m going to go and check out the dress below over the weekend. I’m not sure I can get away with it. I’m only 5’ 3” so typically I can’t pull off long dresses. Usually they are too long and make me look even shorter! :/
Here’s how I see the whole outfit coming together. I’m not sure if I’m committing a fashion faux pas not matching the shoes/purse, but who cares. I like it anyway. Oh, and yah, there’s no budget for Tiffany in my world, but a girl can dream.
Floral Maxi Dress – Gap
French Mani + Pedi – At a salon near you
Baguette Stone Rings – Urban Outfitters
Tiffany 1837 Bangle – Tiffany & Co
Romance Perfume – Ralph Lauren (a personal favorite)
Hobo Bag – Le Chateau
Gladiator Sandal – Le Chateau
What do you think? Pretty and feminine no?
So it’s only taken me 2 years but I’m FINALLY getting my condo together. Some of you may recall I went on a similar mission last year but said mission derailed once we’d finished painting. But not this time. Not this time!!!
Pieces are already picked out and just need to be purchased. We finally got the flat-screen TV we’ll be mounting onto a wall and below will be an IKEA hack idea I had for a media unit. After much indecision, I’ve finally decided on accent colors – isn’t that the hardest part? There’s nothing stopping us now.
Here’s a mood-board of what I’m envisioning for my main living area. I wanted to keep the walls gray (they are currently a very light gray) as I’m working with exposed concrete ceilings and a pillar. Then to add a punch of color, I plan on accenting with yellows and teals. I love, love, love it!
I’m so glad I was able to work the Toronto Ork Poster into the theme. I think it’s the perfect room to give it a home. Obviously I’ll be adding more wall items but that in itself is a hard task so I need to think about it some more. I have the Pottery Barn chairs. Two of them in fact. They aren’t ideal for condo dwelling (they are oversized) but I can’t bare to part with them. There’s also a dining table (I have an open concept condo) that compliments the theme perfectly with cute leather chairs.
Like last time, I plan on sharing the whole process with you. We’re slated to start two weeks from now and it could not come soon enough. Though I wouldn’t mind skipping the whole re-painting part. Something tells me it’ll be worth it though. It already feels like home!
Stay tuned.
