OOTD- Leather and Suede

Hello Friends:

Again the sun is shining today and it's amazing how some vitamin D can put me in a super duper mood!  As it is still a bit cool outside I still had to keep warm but wanted to shed the nasty layers that winter has left behind, hence my ensemble to the office below:

Jacket: Mackage
Top: Aritzia
Pants: J brand
Bag: Balenciaga
Shoes: Town shoes
Necklace: Tiffany's
Sunglasses: Gucci

I cannot tell you how much I love this leather Mackage jacket that I originally talked about here. It's so light and the leather is so buttery soft that you just want to rub your skin all over it. I can definitely see myself wearing it on those cool spring/summer nights and it's just one of investment pieces that I'll have for years and years to come. It also came in black but I decided to go with the gunmetal gray color because any more black in my closet I would look like I worked in morgue.

And because spring is here, I seriously couldn't wait to slip into my favorite pair of nude, suede sandals:

I love the stud detailing on this shoe- so rebellious!!!

 

Me practicing my Charlie's Angel's moves. The answer is Yes, I am a total goofball.


 I really like the look of suede and leather together, don't you?

So tell me, do you have any leather or suede items that you are going to incorporate into your spring wardrobe?

My Mother's day Photo Diary



I woke up to a bouquet of fresh flowers




An offer to do my hair





An offer to do my makeup too



And a little surprise from my boys that I will always wear close to my heart

I HOPE THAT ALL YOU MOTHERS HAD THE MOST WONDERFUL DAY. YOU DESERVE IT!!!

OOTD- Cougars and Cargos

Hello Friends,

I hope that the sun is shining where you are, because the sun was shining where I was today and that makes me a damn happy camper. So this is what I wore to the office today:

Top: H&M

Tank: T by Alexander Wang

Shoes: Cole Hann

Necklace: Mirella (gifted from Toronto Fashion week)





My 'Thank God it's almost Friday' Face!


I like to call this look casual wear with a kick. The H&M flutter shirt (a real bargain at $9.95) is a great mix of comfort and style. I love how loose and drapey the sleeves are, however, did have to layer the tank underneath or else I would have looked like a real hoochy mama. My J brand cargos are one of the most comfortable pants that I own, and like to wear on days where I'm too lazy to get dressed up. And just to give the outfit a bit of a pop I decided to add my beloved leopard print shoes. My necklace was actually a gift I received when I was at Toronto Fashion Week (that I talked about here) and it's so simple yet stunning:

I just love how just a few accessories can make your outfit go from blah to 'YeeHAWW!!!'. Don't you agree?

Anyways, I wish you guys a very very Happy Friday!!!!!! I'll be off celebrating my son's 6th birthday. Can you believe it? No longer my baby (sniff, sniff).

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

OOTD- Flirty office wear

Hello Friends,

I hope that you had a fantastic weekend!

I've been having such a blast doing the OOTD posts, you guys have been so incredibly kind that I'm going to continue on with them!

So today I thought that I would show you guys what I wore to the office. My work is really awesome when it comes to dress code, as basically, there is none. I've seen everything from birkenstocks and socks (ew, ew, ew) and guys with pot bellies wearing shirts that say 'I'm for Rent'- very Classy! So I feel that I can push the envelope just a tiny bit when it comes to 'what to wear' to work. In winter you will see me almost 100% in pants (as it's freakin cold here in Toronto) but once the warm weather hits you cannot keep me away from skirts and dresses. Hence this outfit:
:

Necklace: Banana Republic

Skirt: BCBG

Top: Splendid

Sunglasses: Gucci

Shoes: Aldo

Don't mind me, I'm just posing and goofing around.

This is my favorite (and only) black skirt. It's so comfy and unrestricting, perfect for long days sitting at my desk after having a big office lunch. The top is pretty casual but I wanted to dress it up with my statement necklace from Banana Republic that I got for 60% off a few seasons ago. They really do make great jewelry for a reasonable price. And I love love love my sunglasses, they double as the perfect headband as well:

A closer look at the necklace

The booties are perfect for when you don't want to wear sandals but it's too warm to wear boots (or you're too lazy to get a pedicure, like me):

Hello.... sexy booties!!!!

Hope you enjoyed the post. And before I forget, you can now find me on twitter @makemommychic. I finally caved in and got a twitter account. Now, if only someone can teach me how to use it.....


Happy Monday!!!!
