It’s The End of the World

Shirt –   H&M  //  Vest & Sunnies – F21  //  Jeans – Gap  //  Boots – c/o Dansko  //  Necklace – Threadsence

It’s been such a hard week this week.  With the health issues Baby Girl has had this week, and my resulting exhaustion and overwhelmed feeling.  I’m ready for a shut down.  I’m in that critical mass state where everything feels huge.  
We’ve all been there.  It’s not the end of the world…but it sure feels like it.

What Rules?! Thursday – Red Lipstick

 Top – Audrey via Threadsence  //  Leggings – H&M  //  Boots – I forget  //  Scarf – street stand 

 Last week we broke the “No white after labor day rule.”  Today we’re breaking, “No red lipstick during the day.”  Next week we’re breaking the rule that says, “Never mix metal.”

I  chose a cooler more pink hued shade of red as I find it looks better on my a yellow red. And I kept the rest of the outfit intentionally low key and laid back.  How’d you guys do? 

Link up your outfit post, Twitter picture, Instagram picture, Facebook photo, whatever link showcasing your rebellious style.  
Thanks.

Persistence is The Key To Rebelliousness

Sometimes things are harder than you think they are.  Sometimes you’re not prepared for the challenges that will arise.  And sometimes you just have to give it time and hope that the idea you had is enough to generate interest and to spurn a spirit of creativity.  Yes, last weeks first link up of rule breaking fashion was frankly a bit of a disappointment.  I had hoped to see more people there, but the people who were there were spectacular!  I visited every single one.

It’s a good idea for us to intentionally break fashion ‘rules’ and to have a good time doing it.  So I’m going to persist in it.  I’ll post the link tool every week, and I hope you’ll join me.  *tomorrow we’re wearing red lipstick during the day, if you’re wondering*  If not, at least I’ll have some fun breaking another rule every week.  ‘Cause you know I’m oh so dangerous, and such a rule breaker.

What Rules?! Thursdays

Dress – Moon Collection  //  Shirt – Love Nail Tree  //  Sweater – made by my Babcia  //  Scarf – Kensie  //  Boots – Feet First  //  Tights – Hansel from Basel

Today’s rule to break is “No white after labor day.”  It’s an antiquated rule anyway, and I think most would agree it no longer applies.  So I thought a nice easy rule would be perfect to ease us out of the gate.  Next week we’re breaking the “No red lipstick during the day” rule.  I wanna see all your  pretty pouts.

Now today, let’s see how fabulous all you rebels are.

Link up your outfit post, Twitter picture, Instagram picture, Facebook photo, whatever link showcasing your rebellious style.   All I ask is that you grab a button or add a text link back.
Thanks.

Out Dancing!

Dress – Zara //  Boots – Feet First  //  Socks – ThinkGeek

All night.  A group of friends and I went out to kareoke *my first time!* then over to a fun club to dance the night away.  It was all thanks to a great guy who planned the entire night out for us, and made sure everyone had a fun night.  It felt so good to just groove and shake to the music for hours on end.

It’s the one thing I really miss since having a baby, the ability to go out to the wee small hours and just dance, dance, dance.  I think I need to include a night like this once a month at least.  The lack of sleep was totally worth it.

p.s.  the nerd in me was alive and strong with my Tardis socks peeking out of my boots. 

Everything Is Malleable

Nothing is relegated to specific categories in fashion any longer.  Which is why all the ‘rules’ can be broken.  A bridesmaid dress like this one can be worn when running errands around town.  It suits those needs just as well as it suited my needs when I was maid of honor at my best friend’s wedding.  
I think that’s part of the reason I’m starting this new link up.  I want us to show each other, to inspire each other, on the magical and fun ways we can break all the fashion rules and look fabulous doing it.  I love seeing what someone else comes up with and having that spark my imagination.   
*First rule we’re breaking:  no white after labor day.  So style an outfit, post it anywhere – doesn’t have to be a blog – and come back to link up next Thursday! No follows required.*

Repeat, Repeat, Repeat *And a New Link Up announced*

Sweater – Smart Set //  Tank & Jeans – Gap  //  Boots – Feet First  //  Necklace – c/o Atterley Road  //  Scarf – c/o Sexton In The City  //  Ring – Body Blue Toronto  //  Bag – unknown
People often ask me if it’s okay to repeat outfits.  And my answer is always, “Of Course!”  If you find a great combo use it.  Use it and re-work it, repeat it, whatever.  Often just changing a necklace or earrings is enough to add some freshness.  I do this all the time.  Mix up pieces I’m loving and re-wearing fun outfits.  There’s nothing wrong with it. 
We seem to have this idea that everyday has to be new and different.  But think about those things we love:  our favorite book, favorite movie, favorite grandma’s stew.  We love them because they’re great and they never change.  I don’t see the problem with a great outfit either.

NEW LINK UP!  On that note, I’ve been wanting to do a fun link up for a long time.  And I’ve finally got the idea for one.  With Thursday being the unofficial start of  the weekend, and with the weekend being a time when we feel it’s okay to break some rules, I’m going to be hosting a Thursday link-up all about breakin’ the rules in fashion. *’Cause I don’t really think there are any*  Link up starts next Thursday October 10th.  I hope you join me.

And the first rule I want you to break is : No white after labor day.  So antiquated.  Let’s show ’em how fabulous we look breakin’ all the rules.  Style an outfit that breaks this rule and link up next Thursday.  Easy peasy!

Yup, That’s What I’m Gonna Do

Jacket & Top – Le Chateau  //  Pants – Gap  // Boots – Call It Spring  //  Necklace & Hat – Threadsence //  Scarf – street stand  //  Sunnies – F21
Wear hats and sunnies in the Autumn.  Clearly I’m so sun phobic that given the chance to wear a wide brim felt fedora I’m going to take it.  This was the morning we headed over to the grandparents before I headed out to the last day on set this month for the feature film, Synchronicity.    Knowing I was going to be on set outside for a lot of the day played into the sun-phobic outfit.  
And of course the second I started taking pictures, baby girl had to get in there to join me for them.  The best part was that she started posing for them.  Copying the moves she’s seen me make, and telling me how to stand.

Weapon of Women’s Story

Sweater Cardi – Fate via ShopSosie  //  Dress – Love Nail Tree via Coal Miner’s Daughter  //  Boots – Call It Spring  //  Belt – Threadsence
I love the philosophy of Love Nail Tree:  the mission to tell stories that are neglected.  It makes me think of the quote that says *I’m paraphrasing as I don’t recall the exact words* if you want to tell original stories, tell stories about women because they’re never written.   So I thought it was appropriate that I wore this dress, which has a piano and says ‘Weapon of Story,’ to the set of Synchronicity.  It’s the soft sci-fi feature film I’m producing featuring a mostly female cast, and a female lead.

Want to see how the second week went?

Cover Your Butt..Or How To Wear Leggings

Jacket -Le Chateau  //  Top – Vero Moda  //  Hat – Aldo  //  Sunnies – F21  //  Leggings  – H&M  //  Boots – Call It Spring

It seems that women *the teens and early twenties variety especially* seem to forget that leggings are not pants.  They are leggings.  A hybrid between tights and pants.  Therefore you should always remember one thing:  cover your ass!  Ladies, regardless of how nice or well scuplted you deem your derriere, please cover it when wearing leggings.

Too many a time have I walked behind a young woman on the metro and seen the exact shade and shape of her underwear through the bum she presented to me underneath her leggings.  It’s not a view I particularly enjoy with my morning coffee.  I don’t want to see it, and while there are some who do, please for the sake of the rest of us keep it off the public metro and streets by just doing me one little favor:  cover your butt.
