AH! I'm back to the ol' curly hair. It's fun having straight hair for a few days. Do you have a hair style you only do once in a blue moon that changes your look so drastically that sometimes people don't recognize you? ha
I've been trying to scout out areas...

reading nook September 21 2012
Here's a little peek into our reading nook. It's one of my favourite places to be in our apartment. Who wouldn't want to be surrounded by DIY fashion, and costume jewellery books?
Tomorrow is one of my lovely family child hood friend's wedding. I cannot wait to be apart of her special day. They have been working so hard on this wedding, I just know it's going to be out of this world. Wishing...

Dress: Vintage, Chez Thrift
Jewellery: Hattitude Jewellery

It's been up and down, up and down for the weather here in London. Some days I go out in wool socks and end up sweating buckets, and other days I go out in a skirt and am freezing, needing my wool knee high socks back! It's a tricky business this fall stuff, but today I got it right....

Romper: thrifted
Vest: thrifted
Loafers: Walking on a cloud

How this outfit came to be Hattified: It was very hot out today. This jean vest seemed to add a little punch to the outfit....but in all seriousness it's Hattified due to the jewels. You gotta rock the accessories to have a smashing outfit I think, especially in the hot weather when it's hard to do the layers.

I like wearing vests come September, since it seems to be one of the only months I can wear one without a sweater (I get really cold, really often). A vest is a great way to transition your summer wardrobe into fall.
Sorry for the lack of posts. I move officially to London, ON...

Hope everyone is having a good weekend. I'm loving these painter paints at the cottage. Perfect for pulling over your bather, or just lounging around.

These photos are from a few days ago. It's been raining non-stop here for the last few days. Great for the gardens, not so good for working on jewellery, photographing and blogging.

I'm down in Toronto today for some routine clinic appointments, so here is some photos of a lovely outfit my cousin was stylin' that I LOVED. Isn't this shirt so cute with the high waisted mama shorts? That belt is awesome too. Couldn't you just swoon over that mustard coloured bag?
Me and my mustard...we got a real love connection going on!
I have no idea where she got any of her pieces, except...

Yours Now Mine; antiques and vintage July 20 2012
The city of Bolton, ON in the Caledon area is a wonderful place to live. It's only 45 minutes (sans traffic) to Toronto, one of the biggest cities in Canada, and it's only 20 minutes from Toronto's international Airport. Bolton is out in the country and has some amazing arts highschool's for kids to attend, it has pastures to roam in, farms to gaze at, and more farmers markets then you can count...

I went to a hippie themed "Caledon stock" festival on the weekend. It was a fundraiser for cystic fibrosis. What an amazing turn out. It was out of this world what the farm was transformed in to. I imagine it resembled woodstock. This is what I managed to pull from my closet to try...
