Style Perspectives: a blazer and sneakers

By
Welcome to Wednesday, the official day of fashion on me blog.  Last week we had a hoot styling leggings and scarves, after which I came to the conclusion that scarves just aren't for me. This is why I love this challenge, it is forcing me to evaluate what works on me and what doesn't.



This week is Carrie's look: a blazer, jeans and sneakers.  Up until this post, I had never worn sneakers with a blazer and I don't know why not, it was a super comfy but stylish outfit for an afternoon out with my kids. Actually, truth be told, when I was taking this pictures, I was actually texting with Abbie...you can see my phone hiding in my book.  My phone also controls my camera, so I was multi-tasking.  And also reading on the couch with my shoes on. Tsk, tsk.

  9. OH my goodness I love everything about this outfit! And I had never thought about styling those things together either and didn't think I would like it, but ended up loving it...now to add some more blazers with color to my wardrobe! Also, love the pictures this week :)

  10. Now that I've decided I need a blazer, I want yours. Love the color & the way you rolled up the sleeves. And I want the shoes too. Basically all of it. So pretty!

  13. What a perfect, casual outfit! I love it! Rolling up the sleeves of my blazer was kind of life changing for me. Crazy, right! Now I'm off to search how to control my camera with my phone.

  14. I'm laughing that you were texting while blogging - way to go you multitasker! I love this look on you and it's also one of my personal favorites as I love to be comfortable. You look great! XO -Kim

    Love this look!! I think It's my fave!! Very you! And has got me thinking I need a yellow blazer in my life!

    ReplyDelete

  30. You look super cute!!!! LOve the pop of yellow as well!

    ReplyDelete

  31. I love this whole look, head to toe, this is my fave look this week!! And I love the floral pillow with your blazer, that whole pic is perfect!

    ReplyDelete

  32. OH MY GOSH! Truly, oh my gosh. That yellow blazer is so you in the most creative way. Unique lines, bold color, spirited and fun and polished at the same time. Good heavens, it's great paired with those distressed jeans, the flirty top. And please explain...your phone can serve as a remote for a camera that is not your phone. Whoa, mind-blown. Am I understanding right? All this time I have been searching for a reasonably priced camera with a remote...could it be that my phone could be used as a remote for a camera? Please say yes!

    ReplyDelete

  33. Ok, took another look. Is that just a plain white tee underneath? It looks so soft and feminine. Does it have a rounded shirt tail? You outdid yourself this time, girlfriend.

    ReplyDelete

  34. Carrie's look is so cute! Loving that yellow blazer and those sneakers!!

  38. I adore this prompt...even though I thought it would be one of the ones I didn't like...

  39. Look at you getting all fancy and cute taking pictures while reading/texting. I'm also kicking myself for not trying a bit harder to find a pair of shoes like that in Vegas.

  40. Loving this casual chic styling!!! Such a great look!!

  41. Very cute look! Great yellow blazer. Now I am thinking I don't believe I have tried a blazer and sneakers, either. Must try this soon. Have a wonderful weekend, Deena!

  42. Those sneakers and your yellow blazer are fun, bright and happy, like your personality Deena. Great look today for this week's prompt. Love it.

  44. YOu could pull off any colour blazer, me thinks!

  45. YAYAYAY- the floral pillow is my fave, from a Scottish designer, BlueBell Grey- they sell it at the Bay and Simons now.

    ReplyDelete

  47. Definitely agree- blazers take it up a notch.

    ReplyDelete

  49. Aw, yay! THanks for all the love. So my camera connects to the wifi on my phone and I have an app that allows me to control everything on my camera from my phone. Très cool. And yes, just a boring white t underneath that is rounded, good eyes.

Today I'm showing you the first outfit I got on my trip to Scotland/England and it just happens to be in one of my favourite colours....yes, yellow.  I also put together some of my fave yellow picks on the interwebs for you in the above link.

I have posted a few of my fave yellow pieces before like the one with the blazer  or the one with the yellow shoes and jacket and then there is also this bag that I got in Vegas last year that always makes me swoon....


Anyway, I'm rambling....today's outfit is a dress, but you'll have to hop over to the Blended Blog to see it. Muahahahahha...here's sneak peak.

A blogger meet up in Toronto

By
It was like a weekend long blind date...... e-Harmony but for friends..... Possibly one of the craziest things I've done..... But I spent the weekend with 10 other women whom I met online. Well, except for my real life bestie on the far right. We have a group of 14 bloggers who have been collabing since the spring of 2014 and what first was simple blog fun has quickly become a sisterhood.   Last year we met in Vegas, this year we settled for Toronto and had 11 members.
Trip highlights include a bus trip with wine and Niagara Falls, a walking tour of downtown Toronto, plenty of great meals, a shopping adventure and rooftop hot tubs at night.  I could go into the details, but for me, the actual trip to Toronto wasn't why I went...the Jays weren't even playing. What brings me the most joy about this trip is the fact that women from all walks of life, all ages (we had 30, 40 and 50 somethings) with a gamut of different interests took a leap of faith and traveled to meet women…

London 1

By
Sunday/Monday was a blur.   It went from cruising around Toronto (that means shopping) with the little group of Blended Bloggers that were left over to heading to the airport to meet Dan and the kids then to an overnight flight to Dublin and then another 2ish hour flight to London.  At least the kids slept an hour or two, but I couldn't do it.   Currently in zombie mode.   When we got to our hotel (MalMaison Charterhouse Square) we had to nap. Well I had to anyway before I started losing it.   After an hour long family nap, Dan headed to work and I decided to take the kids out on an adventure in the neighbourhood.  We're only 850 metres from St. Paul's Cathedral and I hadn't visited it last time I was here so it was an easy pick. First I had to devise a plan to keep them engaged and because Pokemon is all they ever want, it was an easy bait.  The deal was that if they came and learned something with me, they got to have some Pokemon time in the area. It worked like a …
