Another morning out with my parents! We went to Urban Diner, my favourite breakfast in Edmonton for their french toast! Yum. I am loving the leather boots and belt combo these days!

ootd: Sally

bow: FadeInFadeOut Vintage

dress: vintage/DIY

necklace: vintage/DIY

cardigan: H&M

boots: vintage

This is one of the outfits I wore while my parents were in town to see Chicago. They surprised me with this adorable dark purple ukulele, that I have named Sally. My parents and I had such a lovely visit, though we really miss my little sister, Nicola!

Recently I have taken to transforming my mother's old charm bracelet into necklaces that I can wear, as I am allergic to metal! Also, this dress was only $00.50. It used to be frumpy 90's mom dress, but with a few snips and a quick hem, it feels as good as new. I love pairing it with my leather boots, it gives it a real western feel!

Thanks for reading!

TV Shows: Season Finales

Nikita takes home "The Best Season Finale" award for me!!! Season 2 ended with 4 mind-blowing episodes in a row. The stakes for each episode kept increasing until the very end of the season. I have to admit, some of the writing isn't the finest, and at times it can be so cheesy that it makes for a good laugh. All in all, this TV show exceeded my expectations. I can't wait for Season 3 ! Does anyone else watch Nikita, I feel like I'm the only one?

Not gonna lie, I was slightly disappointed with the finale of New Girl. I was anticipating a lot more. I think it's because Season 1 had been so impressively funny, I was expecting a bigger finish. Zooey Deschanel is inspiring in so many different ways. She's my number 1 girl crush!

VD's is my guilty pleasure! I blame my little sister for getting me hooked. Ok, VD's gets an A+ on it's season finale. In my opinion is was such a strong ending! Much more exciting than past seasons. I can not wait for season 4!

I have a love/hate relationship with Smash and was slightly disappointed with the season finale. I more than love the idea of the show, but I don't like that fact that the character we are suppose to root for (Karen) is not (in my opinion) right for the role of Marilyn. To say the least, I am undeniably on Team Ivy, even though I think her character is a terrible human being. I am really interested to see what happens with Season 2. Will it be a continued story of the duelling Marilyn's or will we get to see a whole new musical be created?

What was your favourite season finale???

Before and After: Lace Shorts

I have one major flaw when it comes to 'Before and After' projects. I (without fail) always forget to take the 'Before' picture and just go to straight to work on the up-cycling. For this project I was able to just do some pinning to get the 'Before' look, other projects I haven't been so lucky!

Before

These are a pair of khaki shorts that a friend gave to me in 2007. They are pretty boring and slightly outdated, so I thought I would give them a little make over!

After

I used two different types of vintage lace from my Mum's collection of vintage material for the make over. They are so much fun to wear now! They have a really feminine feel, which I love pairing with my shit kicker boots! I will post some outfit pictures with them soon!

This make over was inspired by Sincerely, Kinsey, a blog that I found through A Beautiful Mess. Here's a look at her shorts make over! Both sites having amazing ideas for DIY. Make sure you check them out!
