birthday

happy birthday to me! happy birthday to me! happy birthday dear me, happy birthday to me!
this is what i wore today to celebrate my birthday and i have to admit, seeing old school blair waldorf in the episode of gossip girl may have influenced me a bit...

settle down

 

coral blouse: mom's from the 90s

strapless paisley dress: american eagle sidewalk sale

leaf ring: expression by the bay

It's that time of year again, where I clean out all the closets at my house (no one would do it otherwise) and discover things we forgot / didn't know we had. The detailed collar on this blouse is really cute, so it's a pity that it's a couple sizes too large, like most of Mom's old clothes. (She's always been tiny, though, so it was probably just a grunge thing to buy things loose, unlike the tight-tight-scenekid-tight 00s.) Unbuttoned, it's lovely.

i'm having a HUGE dose of nostalgia right now. i think this might be because i'm going to south africa for the first time in 8 years and seeing all of my cousins, one of which i haven't seen in over 10 years (i've moved a lot....) so to say i'm excited is an understatement. so while i reminisce about the good ole days, i'm blasting some S Club 7 and Hilary Duff, very cool, i know. one of my favourite parts of my childhood was harry potter so i was so excited when i got this sweater from my grandma. today was surprisingly cool in the morning so i tossed it over an old shirt dress that i had completely forgotten about. hope you're having a great week and remember its wimgardium leviosAH not wimgardium leviosAR ;)

grace kelly

belt: diesel
dress: forever 21
vest: vintage

i wore this lovely ensemble to my work christmas party. we went to the grace kelly exhibit at the tiff lightbox. it was an amazing day complete with lunch and a limo ride :) the wonderful and iconic wedding dress was at the exhibit along with some of her chanel suits, givenchy dress (very audrey hepburn style) and lots of lovely shoes, sunglasses, hats and jewelry. i think it was difficult for everyone to leave without being inspired by her timeless classic style and to see the taste in each outfit. i even bought two books which have been very helpful! more to come :)
