FRIDAY SHMIDAY.

H&M top; American Apparel leggings; Payless boots; Castellammare Jewellery necklace

Ya that's right. I'm mad at Friday.
On Wednesday it felt like Friday. It wasn't, so I was upset.
On Thursday it felt like Friday. It wasn't, so I was even more upset.
And now that Friday has come around, I'm just annoyed with it.
Seriously. Why couldn't it be there when I needed it on Wednesday?
Ugh. So by-the-book, Friday is.

Booed by a bouncer.

Talula blazer & leggings (via Aritzia); H&M tank; Material girls wedges

I wore this outfit probably a month ago (shhh) with a couple of girlfriends. The best late-evening appetizers outfit. Not so great for dancing later. None of us were prepared to go out dancing. As we passed a bar on our way home, a bouncer called out to us to join the only two men in the bar on the dance floor. We turned the offer down, and then got booed. For serious. Booed by a bouncer.

I still blame the outfit. It wasn't meant for dancing.

Long weekend casual.

KS tee; American Eagle jeans; H&M clutch; Call it Spring sandals

Yesterday was a holiday for us Canadians. Well, most of us. I met up with a girlfriend and we toured the city looking for a great place to eat.

We came across Farmteam Cookhouse, and having debated going there many times, we decided to try it out. All I can say is holy YUM! I had the gourmet veggie sandwich and it was possibly the best sandwich I've ever eaten.  Then we went up Elgin and got some gelato. Heaven in a cup, I tell ya.

The weather was perfect, the sun was shining, and I spent the afternoon outside with a great girlfriend. This is what long weekends are made of.

Lilac blazer.

Talula blazer; H&M tank; American Eagle denim; Payless shoes; Castellammare designs necklace

Thank you, sun-glare, for taking the purple out of my blazer. Just imagine the purple blazer. It was one of my recent Aritzia purchases from that time I went and blew my budget x2.

Typical Kelly. Right thurrr.

Hats. Hats. Hats.

Gap cardigan; H&M tank, hat, shoes; American Apparel leggings; Castellammare designs necklace

Linking up with Marion from MarionBerry Style for the first time in way too long for her "Trend of the Month" link-up. This month? Hats. And I remembered to bring mine home so I could force my little bro to take some shots of me wearing it.

Also I tried to look cool by standing in a field. I just have no idea what this field was of.... Weeds? Cool factor totally amplified.

Peach.

H&M dress; Call it Spring shoes

Happy weekend everyone! Time to actually enjoy the heat without sweating inside.
Because you don't have A/C.
And you're too cheap to buy a window unit.
:)

Coral and pink.

Joe Fresh cardigan; H&M tank; Forever 21 cropped pants, belt, necklace; Call it spring shoes

Just a work outfit. I love these pants - they're the perfect high waist. Right below my belly button, but fitting perfectly 100% of the way up. Nice work on these, Forever 21. You did good.

Do you have a pair of pants, that despite all odds, are a favourite?

Ps. Don't forget to enter my Giveaway with Castellammare Designs!

Leather jackets and sunglasses.

Dynamite faux-leather jacket; H&M Button-down; American Apparel legging; Sirens shoes

Leather jacket. Sunnies. Silly puppy. Smiles.

Life is good.

Also, I know this is totally old news, and we've all heard the Google Reader thing going on.  Just want to say a couple things:

1) You can import all your Google Reader blogs into Bloglovin' using this tutorial.

2) You can follow me by clicking on this fancy schmancy button and I will love you forever. I promise. Forever is a long time...

Winter red.

Vest: The Bay (Material Girl)

Top: H&M

Pants: Winners

Boots: Le Chateau

"Be festive", they say.

So I wear red pants. 

Cozy wrap sweater.

Sweater: Zellers

Tee & belt: Forever 21

Jeggings: Dynamite

Socks: H&M

Boots: Payless

When the world around me starts to look dead, I can't think of anything better than a cozy wrap sweater to snuggle into. 

Winter is coming.
Update: Winter has come. It's been snowing. Gross.

This is a fall outfit.

H&M sweater; Walmart tights; Forever 21 belt and necklace; Payless boots

This is a fall outfit. Just in case you didn't know already.
Sweater dresses are my favourite. I need more.
Please ignore the wrinkles, I didn't realize how noticeable the were... Stayin' classy!
My belt and boots match - this was not planned.
My necklace kept hitting by belt when I walked. It was distracting.
I don't know why, but I don't feel like writing full paragraphs today. Apparently yesterday too.
All the Sandy coverage last night was a little scary. Hope everyone stayed safe last night!

Professional.

Old Navy turtleneck; Forever 21 pencil skirt and belt; Dynamite scarf; H&M tights; ALDO oxfords

This outfit was a winner at the office. It's so funny how a skirt can transform your look. So many people commented on how "professional" I looked. Funny how that wasn't exactly the look I was going for, but I guess it worked its way in.  I'll take "professional" any day at the office!

Also I'm wearing a turtleneck! I can't believe it's getting cold enough to wear these kinds of things... And tights with skirts? They're a must now. Probably for the next 7 months. Awesome, now I'm depressed. Us bloggers wish and hope for fall during the warm months, but once it comes and the prettiness goes away (yeah, pretty leaves are mostly on the ground now), I wish for summer. And I'll be wishing for summer until it comes again. In another 8 months. Great, I have depressed myself once more.

Happy Monday!

I'm everywhere.

Dynamite jacket; Forever 21 skirt & sweater; H&M tights; Call it Spring boots

It's the weekend tomorrow, so I don't feel like writing anything smart. Somehow that makes sense in my head. Instead, I'm going to remind you of all the cool places you can find me. Or stalk me. Take your pick.

Twitter: @enterkelly. Sometimes I say smart things, or funny things, or dumb things. Would you like to follow along with my thoughts? It'll be like you're in my head.

Instagram: @itsmekelly. Sometimes I take pictures of cool things, perhaps you'd agree. Mostly these cool things include the pup, food and clothes. Insightful, I know.

Facebook: Enter Kelly. Mostly 'cause everyone else is doing it. But also because my IRL friends prefer Facebook click-through links. So there's that.

Bloglovin': Enter Kelly. In case you hate GFC or Twitter or FB or all of the above, you can follow me there!

Pinterest: Enter Kelly. I'm addicted to Pinterest and always looking for new and cool pinning-buddies. You up for the challenge? Just be warned, I'm an expert pinner.

See guys, I'm literally everywhere. 

In a totally non-creepy way. 

What's your favourite place? And by place I mean social media outlet ;)

My favourite place.

Joe Fresh sweater; The Bay button-down (men's); American Eagle jegging; Walmart boots; H&M socks; Old Navy scarf

Everyone's got a favourite place. A place that speaks to them. 

A place where they can go to get away from it all; where they can clear their head.

This is my place. 

I can walk around back here for hours just listening to my music. 

It is a little discomforting going deep into the woods since there have been bear sightings in the neighbourhood over the summer. You never really know if you're going to come across something, so I stick to the main path.

Aside from that, there's nothing that I love more than the sound of leaves crunching beneath my feet. 

And the feeling of fresh air on my face.

Or the rays of sun peeking through the trees, warming my skin.

A part of me can't wait until the snow falls, because then this place becomes a winter wonderland. 

Do you have a favourite place?

Morning hair & my Canadian Tux.

Suzy Shier denim jacket (similar); H&M printed top (similar); Forever 21 scarf; Giant Tiger moccasins (similar); American Eagle denim

Morning hair is fun. It's like a box of Bertie Bott's every-flavour-beans - you never know what you're going to get. Sometimes it's a tangled rat-nest, as if while you were sleeping some animal was trying to make a home in your hair. Other mornings it just... is. Like today. I woke up and didn't touch it, and it looked completely normal. Sometimes you just get lucky, I guess. Those days are a blessing because I take one look at myself and decide to snooze for another 10 minutes. Yessssss.
Did you catch that Harry Potter reference? Was it just me? Okay...

Check out my denim-on-denim outfit in true Canadian fashion. I guess this is what they call a "Canadian Tuxedo". Well gosh, I AM Canadian. All I need to add here is my chambray top and I think I would have an amped-up version of the Canadian Tuxedo... But don't worry, I won't subject your eyes to THAT much denim. I'll just leave you with this outfit. Thank you, leopard print top, for making my Canadian Tuxedo look a little nicer than the ugliness it sounds like.

Sweater dresses and random facts.

Winners cardigan; Dynamite sweater dress; Garage tights; H&M flats; Forever 21 belt

I totally stole this fun post idea from Corinne at Life, etc. Mostly because she's awesome and comes up with better post ideas than I do ;) But I gotta tell ya, this took FOREVER. It's so hard to answer things like this about myself...

Eyes: nine celebrity crushes: I've recently discussed my three girl crushes: Kate Beckinsale, Rachel McAdams and Emma Stone. As for the men, these days I'd have to say Christian Bale, Jake Gyllenhaal, Ryan Gosling, Jim Sturgess, John Krasinski and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

Ears: eight favourite sounds: Crickets when I'm going to sleep. The birds chirping when I wake up. The crackling of a fire place. The leaves crunching beneath my feet in the fall. Christmas music. My best friend's laugh (it's seriously contagious). Thunderstorms. Old favourite songs that I haven't heard in years. 

Nose: seven favourite scents. Fall (it's one awesome smell). Mom's baking on Christmas. A random body spray I got from Dynamite, I don't even know what it's called.  Peppermint. Coffee shops. Men's cologne. Freshly mowed grass.

Mouth: six favourite sayings. Don't be like the rest of them, darling. All you need is health and happiness. The best is yet to come. There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind. Love fearlessly.  Live, laugh, love.

Heart: five things you love. My family. My best friends. Music - I don't know what I would do without it, it's like my therapy. Chocolate anything (except chocolate cake, somehow that kinda sucks). Laughing.

Hands: four things you've created that you're proud of. A dress that I sewed last year. My blog. A mini documentary I made of my favourite summer, years ago.  The paths I've taken so far in life. 

Stomach: three comfort foods. Chocolate (of course). Pasta. My mom's cream of mushroom & corn soup - I dislike mushrooms but still think it rocks.

Knees: two things that make you go weak in the knees. Raw and uncensored emotion - happy or sad. Surprises.

Feet: one thing you want to accomplish in life. Appreciate all of the little moments in life, so that I can look back with no regrets. It's an ongoing thing :)

Flannel and Moccasins.

Costco (men's) flannel top; H&M tank; American Eagle denim; Giant Tiger moccasins, Castellammare Designs leaf necklace

So my junk food ban was a success! It ended on Sunday and I didn't even have the urge to eat much sugar. I had a couple pieces of dark chocolate after dinner and that was that.  It's satisfying to know that I don't need sugar as much as I felt that I did before I started the challenge. I feel good :)

I'm keeping this short because I'm exhausted after this weekend. Not much sleep on Saturday night meant going to bed last night at 8. My body is not very happy with me right now... Time for a day at work!
