Flocking Together: Under the Umbrella Tree...

You guys... I completely forgot to post this when I was posting for Flock Together last week!! Scoot over and check out how I styled this adorable umbrella-themed dress!

Snow White...

With Hallowe'en just around the corner, the ladies at Flock Together suggested a Group Roundup for Hallowe'en costumes or inspiration. My favourite costume was Snow White, which I dressed up as several years ago. Granted, my then-costume was store bought, and quite risque compared to this one, but I just loved the concept. This year, I thought it would be fun to pull together a costume from clothes in my closet. I love the idea of being able to dress up without having to spend money on a costume! 

dress: birthday gift from melissa (modcloth)

shoes: bait footwear

shirt: modcloth

cardigan: local shop

belt: from another dress

wig, headband & stockings: from my old Snow White costume

For this look, I wore a new dress (post to come on this dress later this week!) as a skirt. I do have a blue skirt, but it wasn't as bright as this dress and didn't have the same effect. I layered a yellow top over it, and folded my shirt to the desired length. I added a belt over top to define the top/skirt. Added a red cardigan to hide the blue sleeves of the dress that peaked out from the top, my white stockings, and red B.a.i.t. shoes.  

For my hair... I'm not going to lie, I'm tempted to dye it dark. I almost did, but I wanted my red hair for my planned actual costume this year (which may or may not happen, who knows). Luckily, I still had my black wig, so that was an easy fix!

Add a bit of white highlighting powder (or a lot, if you're not as naturally pale as I am) over your face, a bit of blush, black eyeliner and red lipstick, and you're done! Snow White! To see the other girls Hallowe'en ideas, fly over to Flock Together now! 

Flocking Together: Vintage Hawaiian Style!

Hey all! I know, I've been a blogger failure this summer. Life is SO busy lately that I just haven't had enough time to keep up with pictures and blogging. I'll go into more detail about life lately later this week! But today, I'm over at Flock Together talking about this amazing top I borrowed from Hannah! 

I also managed to snag a picture wearing this outfit (before I chopped my hair off this weekend!) with Dominic's Sportster!! Hop over and check it out!

Flock Together: Fun with Fire Hydrants

Hey all! Did you catch my post yesterday over at Flock Together? If not, hop on over and see how I remixed this lovely fire hydrant dress before sending it back to Marisa! 

Cacti & raspberries...

I'm not going to lie... becoming a member of the Flock Together ladies definitely has it's perks! Getting to style new outfits without actually buying new items? Brilliant! It's especially fun when you get to try out styles that are out of your comfort zone.  When I spotted this top from Dus, I had to try it out. It was just so fun! Well, let me tell you, it was torture sending it back. I'm regretting that I didn't buy it from her fair trade shop, Mitla Moda.  It's so breezy! It would be amazing on hot days with a nice breeze. 

top: Dus from Cuddly Cacti

skirt: Ruche

hat: le chateau

belt: Forever 21

shoes: Swedish Hasbeens via Amazon

When I styled this outfit and looked in the mirror, I immediately thought of a lady gardening, or shopping for flowers. Hence the photos in our raspberry bushes. They're finally starting to bud.  Spring is so late here this year, with the long winter we had.  And as you can spot in the background, Dominic has been a busy bee the last few weeks.  We purchased that parcel of land in January. It used to be filled with trees and shrubs, but he's been working hard to clear it out so it will become more useful for us.  I'm definitely looking forward to an extended backyard.  We'll eventually hang some hammocks, and make it a relaxing place to be! 

Cheating on my wedding...

Hey all! So as the title says, I'm kind of cheating on my wedding with this post.  When Sammi offered up this dress for the Flock Together gals, I had to have it. It's so amazing, I've actually been on the hunt for it's blouse version for some time, it is a Bernie Dexter after all! But the problem was that she styled it so perfectly, I was worried about not being able to get creative with it.  Then I realized, it would go perfectly with my blue shoes, coat... and hat!

dress: borrowed from Sammi

coat: lulu's

shoes: swedish hasbeens via amazon

pearls: gift from Dominic

hat: vintage (etsy)

I was also a little hesitant about the hat. It's the first pill box hat I've owned, so I wasn't quite sure how to wear it, if it looked okay... But after trying it out for these photos, I'm definitely feeling a lot more secure about wearing it on my wedding day. 

It's also my first official remix post over on Flock Together, so I felt like it had to be a good one, and this hat just made the outfit so perfect, I couldn't resist! Pop over and check out the post, and see how some of the other gals have styled this dress!

Birds of a feather...

Hey all! Remember on Monday when I mentioned some exciting news coming later this week? Well, Wedding Wednesday has been postponed a day so that I can share my news (which some of you may have guessed from the new badge on my blog)... but if you didn't, here it is: I'm one of the newest members of Flock Together! 

I've been an avid reader of their blog for sometime now, and loved the idea of sharing favourite pieces of clothes and having other people style them. Now I get to be a part of that action.  I'm also thrilled at the idea of getting to know more of the girls. I've already been following several of them, and come to know them via instagram, facebook, twitter. My intro post is up today, so hop over and check it out!
