{Style} Summer Nights...

It's been an action-packed few days, with highlights including a trip to the ballet, a (terrifying) win at the Yeggies for best in fashion & style, several calorie fests and, of course, this glorious weather we've been having as of late. It actually feels like summer around here, and I for one couldn't be happier to swap my dreary winter duds once and for all in favour of breezy separates and bright colours... Bring it on, summer.

Happy Tuesday, everyone, and be sure to enter to win this Les Arts Plastiques necklace while you still can � today's the last day! xx

{Style} The Perfect Shirt...

I've been under the weather the past few days, so it's been challenging coming up with content while feeling so crummy. But since this Current/Elliott blouse just came in the mail, I couldn't resist showing it to you guys. They call it the 'perfect shirt' which, after having worn it for a few days, I couldn't agree with more. I just love the loose silhouette, soft fabric and fun coral hue oh-so much, all of which will transition nicely into spring, wouldn't you say? Now if only it would get here and I would stop getting sick all the time... sigh.

{Glitter Week} The Collar...

As promised, here's a look at how I styled yesterday's DIY glitter collar. A few of you already commented about the whole washing situation (which believe me, I already thought about), but I don't mind� I'll spot wash this bad boy if I have to! To be honest, I was planning on getting rid of this shirt anyway, but a little sprinkle of glitter has made it seem (both literally AND figuratively) all shiny and new again. Who knew a few sparkles could have that kind of effect? xx

{Style} You're My Boy, Blue...

This week has taken a lot out of me, so I'm planning on having a quiet weekend at home with my gentleman. No plans, no obligations, just delightful nothingness... Doesn't that sound heavenly? I'm thinking movie marathons, magazines and cocoa by the fire, all the while sporting my new uniform of choice� pajamas. Don't let these photos fool you, I'm totally scrubbing it up this weekend! That's right my friends, I lead an exiting life.

But enough about me, what are you guys getting up to this weekend? Whatever it is, rock it out lovelies! xx

{Style} Falling for Plaid...

I bought these pants a few weeks ago while in New York, but for some reason I forgot all about them until this past weekend. Super lame on my part (what a dumb dumb!), but awesome because their reappearance couldn't have come at a better time. You see my friends, the impossible is happening� I, Vickie Laliotis, shopping junkie and clothing fiend, am embarking on a month-long shopping ban. So if anything, rediscovering these bad boys eases the pain that not shopping has left in my heart... Sigh.

So why am I putting myself through such anguish, you ask? Well lovelies, let me lay it all out for you. First of all, I went a little crazy in NYC (you'll be seeing more of the damage in upcoming posts!) and I need to spend a little time paying off the old credit card. Second, and most important, I think it's time I came back down to earth and worked with the existing pieces in my wardrobe, of which believe me there are plenty. Blogging can sometimes skew your perception of what's important, and as much as I love shopping and putting together outfits, I don't think it's always healthy to let yourself get carried away. Somewhere along the way I lost that sense of balance, so I figure one month sans shopping will help me appreciate what I have and show me that I don't always need to buy something new to stay relevant... At least I hope not.

So here's to one month of recycling, remixing and shopping my own closet... Happy October! xx
