Come Shop With Me: A Casual Romantic

I am a romantic. I have this mind that creates the "perfect" seen in my head and I will have to re-create it. I look for the perfect pieces for the outings of my dreams. I am still looking for the perfect picnic blanket, I already have the basket. That said, I like to have the perfect outfit too. I want it to look just so, as though if someone was to take a picture it could be right out of a perfume commercial. So without further adieu, meet the wardrobe for reading at either a coffee shop or on a bench in a lush green park. Perhaps, on could stumble into a kind and handsome stranger in such a cute outfit. Oh and by the way, all of the items are fifty dollars or less.

Come Shop With Me: baby it's cold outside edition

Typically when you think winter you think a big warm puffy jacket, fortunately with me it never really gets that cold here. I still wear my winter jacket sometimes but, for the most part, I am able to get away with a nice down vest. I have a lovely MEC black vest that I live in for the most part during the fall and winter and it does me great but, this vest is to die for. Isn't it cute?! To be honest, this whole outfit is so completely me, I have pants almost identical just without the rips. I could probably manage to pull something like this together with what I own, except for the shoes. I don't own any sneakers like that.


What is your go to clothing item when winter comes around? are you a mitten person? Do you prefer toques? What is your winter necessity?

If I had the money, I would own this exact outfit. I absolutely love the hat, it was kind of the starting point for the whole outfit. Sadly, I don't have much money....so for right now I will just long. Maybe someday I will find some similar pieces on the cheap and buy them. Well okay, not all of these items are completely unreasonably priced just the jacket, and earrings, okay well and maybe I wouldn't pay that kind of money for the sneakers. So, maybe, I will buy the hat....someday.

Hope you enjoyed shopping with me,

come shop with me

Today I thought I'd try something new. Today we are going to go etsy shopping together. I don't know if you know about this site but, if you don't you should. It is absolutely great. I spend many an hour browsing through their vast amount of shops finding trinkets among trinkets for great things. I have bookmarked over a hundred stores and have them in many files organized to my liking. 

Well today I was frustrated about how many of them were no longer organized on this laptop. I have found more stores but did not file them properly so, I spent some time going over the stores I have and have found a few forgotten items that I love and thought I'd share.

clockwise from top left corner: Its a Hoot Owl Quilt, This Young Girl Sun Dress, Love What You Do 8 x 10 Print, English Rose Fingerless Gloves. 

Fantastic are they not. I love the colors of the quilt and can just imagine laying down on it with the grass and a picnic basket wearing the lovely black dress. Just magnificent. 

Then that print, it is just so cheerful I am thinking of getting it and putting it on the wall across from my bed, what a lovely message to wake up to. 

Oh, and of course thee fingerless gloves! I love the roses and the color they are so perfectly fall. Waking early on a fall morning going out and sitting on the porch clutching in my gloved hands a warm mug of hot-chocolate. Bliss I tell you! Bliss.

Hope you enjoyed shopping with me!

Cheers!
