Fashion is in the Sky

"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening."
-Coco Chanel
"I like being a woman, even in a man's world. After all, men can't wear dresses, but we can wear the pants."
-Whitney Houston
"I love being able to wear dresses and clothes that make me feel feminine and beautiful, and I love the fact that I don't have to all the time[.]"
-Portia de Rossi

Hello Readers!
So I figured that I should post up my last two outfits in case I run out of time before I leave. Hope you guys like. Ever since the weather has warmed up I've been in the mood for the most flirty , and girly dresses in my closet. Can you tell? It's funny because simply slipping into a flirty dress, like one of the above, simply makes me feel more feminine. Just like an edgy outfit makes me feel more avant-garde. I think this is why we, bloggers, are so amazed, inspired and obsessed with fashion. It can make you into whoever you want to be, for however long you choose to don a particular garb. It can enhance your mood, uplift your spirits. Fashion is a friend that will always be there to cheer you up - and will never ditch you for her new boyfriend. And this is why I will always love fashion.

A fun little quiz taken from The Lovelylist. Thanks Krystal!
Reading: "Sellevision" by Anthony Burroughs and "Emma" by Jane Austen. The first is hilarious, and the latter is a must-read (as are all of Austen's collections as they are written in a different era but are still so strikingly poignant).
Listening to: Angus & Julia Stone, Free Energy, Wolf Parade
Watching: nothing! I'm not a big TV person... when I watch TV I have to watch episodes chronologically. I get into phases where I become obsessed with a show online and will watch all the episodes. I love Heartland, Being Erica, and the City at the moment.
Dreading: The plane ride on Monday! It's not that I'm afraid of heights or plane crashes. Rather I'm a germaphobe and hate how the germy air is recirculated for 7 hours - yuck! Also, I hate the icky smell that comes from the frozen, disgusting food they serve. It permeates everything you wear and I swear that I smell that wretched scent for days afterwards! Also, not looking forward to jet lag- never fun.
Excited About: England (of course). Returning to work at the barn for a week, and Victoire for the rest of summer. How fun! Also looking forward to picking my classes for next year.
Craving: Starbucks nonfat latte, Juice Monkey lebanese fruit parfait (yum - and healthy!)
Wanting: New shoes! (See last post!) Either some nice flat ones that I can walk around in or a higher pair for castings. Or both. Ideally :)
Hoping: That magically my suitcase will be less than 50lbs and that I won't have to pay excess baggage fees.... Hey, a girl can dream right!?

Lots of love,
K.xx

Outfit 1: Dress: Urban Outfitters. Cardigan: Zara. Belt: Topshop. Shoes: Dolce Vita at Victoire.
Outfit 2: Dress: Winners (several years ago and only wore it for the first time this year!). Belt: Target (wish we had one in Canada!). Shoes: Aldo.

Sell My Soul

Dear readers,
I have a confession to make: I would sell my soul for shoes.

I need new summer shoes... in case you guys haven't noticed I've been focusing on the same brown Dolce Vita pair in many posts. I just don't have many nice summer shoes... Boots? I got plenty! But summer shoes I am sorely lacking.

Today, whilst browsing about Aldo, I fell in love with two styles, featured below:




However, I'm wondering whether I should just save my money (not to mention avoid adding excess weight to my luggage) by simply waiting to indulge in some London shopping. For example here some of my new Topshop picks below...











I have limited myself by choosing not to peruse the necklaces, tights, socks, bags, etc. In other words, I could shop 'til I drop in London.

Thoughts, dear fellow bloggers? Should I buy the shoes from Aldo so I have a nice pair for castings, or should I wait and spend my moulah in London town. I leave in 4 days! Let me know what you guys think, your opinions mean a lot to me! :)

Love,
K.xx

London Calling

So I'm excited to head to London for a multitude of reasons... doing the touristy thing in a beautiful city, experiencing a new culture, challenging my limits, and all of those other noble aspirations. But I gotta say... Topshop is right up there as well! I can't wait to get my hands on some of these puppies:




I should be leaving between the 10th and 15th. The reason I haven't been posting much is partly because I'm trying to get everything organized... need to actually book my ticket today haha. But anyways, let me know what you think about the above pieces. And you British readers... what other terrific shopping locales are there in London besides for High Street? Fill a girl in!
With love,
K xx

Tide Me Over

However, in the meantime, to tide me over before being bequeathed by fabulous layers of leather, fur, and lace in the fall (note to self: stop salivating). Here are a few looks from Covet's spring summer line that should keep me temporarily satisfied so that I can "survive" the beautiful weather.





I espeically love the orange dress - so demure and lady-like in front and surprisingly sexy in back. And the jumper would be so easy and fabulous to transition from day to night all summer long (hopefully washing from time to time during said summer). Anyways, hope you guys enjoy these looks as much as I do.
Now time to study.... stop distracting me blogosphere!!!
