JEANS
I have a bit of a reputation as a jean queen. Rightly so...I had more than 50 pairs at one point. I decided to donate many of them but still have a great collection. Some of my favourite brands are Rock Revival (which I have mentioned in a few posts), William Rast, Silver Jeans (a Canadian jean company), True Religion and Miss Me.
I'm going to post some pics of my favourite jeans with links to some that are still available. In no particular order:
I just love the gold stitching on these jeans. It looks awesome with warmer toned tops. These Rock Revival Cecilia jeans can be purchased here.
The William Rast jeans I got on clearance for 75% off a year or two ago so the best I could find was a pair on ebay found here.
These are the closest I could find for the True Religion jeans. They are a little lighter wash than mine and the leg may be a bit wider at the bottom. Mine are almost a skinny jean but I can fit them over a pair of heels if I need to. Check them out here.
The Silver's are easily a few years old. Silvers just seem to wear really well. In fact my oldest pair is about 7 years old and I still love them as much as when I first bought them. I would say this pair is my most comfortable pair of jeans by FAR. They are just so soft, it feels like you are wearing sweat pants. And you can't go wrong when that happens! Your best bet would be to find the style (Tuesday) and look for a similar wash. These are really close here.
The Miss Me's are a newer style that I came across in Bootlegger a few years ago. I really like the heavy quality of their jeans. They are probably my second most comfortable fitting jeans and I would say they fit a little looser than the rest of the jeans with the exception of the William Rast which I almost always go down a size in. I found a pair of the Miss Me's that are almost exactly like mine and they can be viewed here.
I don't know what the hell happened to all my pictures to make them rotate the wrong direction...and I am not going to spend any amount of time figuring it out either. So if you have an iPad or other tablet type computer to view this then rotate away. The rest of you suckers can just crane your necks around like emus or whatever those damn birds are called.
Which are your favourite pair of jeans that you own? What jeans are on your wishlist?

Casual outfit & classic hair
Here's an outfit wearing one of my many pairs of lovely Rock Revival jeans. I own several pairs - they are flattering and comfortable and not to mention stylish. This pair has gold stitching. Tres cool.
And just a shot of my hair. I love that it is starting to grow out again. I've always had long blonde wavy hair with no bangs so this look is quite different for me.

Outfit of the Day
By request of the stallion. Ripped jeans animal print and tall black boots. Channeling my inner biker chick hahaha. Oh she's in there...funny story actually. I took this motorcycle safety course offered at my workplace. I totally kicked ass at it the first day. I was drivin' it like I owned it. Then this chick dumped her bike right in front of me and reality set in. What the fuck did I want to know how to ride a motorcycle for? I already have my own personal driver. I could kind of get the whole freedom and wind in your hair thing but when it comes down to it I just don't trust the other people on the road. I still like to ride and had an absolute blast going on our 2nd annual bike trip to the Rockies and I think that's enough for me. Enough about hogs. And back to clothes. What's your favorite inner/alternate style you find yourself enjoying?

Fabulous finds
Ok, so I don't know about you gals but I am always proud to admit that I bought something at Walmart when I get complimented on an accessory. And it happens often.
Today I had to go pick up a few things for the stinker's stocking stuffer (that's my angel boy not the Stallion bahaha) and I decided to make a pit stop in the jewelry/scarf/bag department and I had to exhibit exceptional restraint, lemme tell ya.
Exhibit A:
Pleather jeweled skull bag. Like are you kidding me? At Wallyworld?? I know I'm going to regret not making that purchase. Oh who the hell am I kidding I'm already regretting it....goddamit.
My reasoning is that it's too small. I need a large bag to carry all my crap and it just wouldn't cut it and it would just sit in my closet.
But alas. It sure is hot.
Never mind all the other cute accessories. I did end up purchasing one item - a gold flower ring. Quite lovely. Not sure I like how friggin old my hands look wow.
Anywho. I am just loving my outfit today. It was inspired by one I saw of posh spice on Pinterest that I will put a link to later (I'm mobile blogging right now cuz I'm a complete loser and couldn't find anything else to do while waiting for my nail appointment. Thats right bitches I'm blogging in my car! Oh I think I promised I wouldn't call you that anymore. Never again. I swear.)
So back to my fabulous outfit. Blazer was a great find from Suzy Shier for like $20. Ripped up black skinnies from Urban Planet for $24.99. I'm not gonna lie when I saw those jeans my heart stopped. Never ever do I find something exactly like I having been hoping for unexpectedly in the tiny city I live it. Just doesn't happen. So I was beyond excited.
And when my little angel told me this morning "mama you look perfect", I knew the outfit was good. Cuz the kid has impeccable taste for a 5 year old boy lemme tell ya...
So here's the outfit:
Peace out ladies. I will post pics of my nails later. You are gonna shit bricks. Wait for it. xo

Outfit of the Day
I love how this outfit turned out from something unexpected. I haven't worn my cardy UGGS in ages and wasn't sure how I felt about them anymore, but decided to dust them off to try with my purple jeans - cuz what doesn't look good with purple jeans, right? I like how you think....
Here's a better view of the boots. So comfy like slippers...ah!!
And stay tuned! I got some skirts from gojane.com today and I am so excited to try some new looks with them. AND I got some pink jeans. Oh yes, there's good stuff to come, folks. You just wait and see! xo

Colour Blog
So I am fairly certain that black and white is my favourite colour combination lately. I really feel that when I am wearing it, I am more like myself. I don't know if that's weird to say, but sometimes a colour or a colour combination suits a person and I think that black and white are my best colours. Together or separate. Probably my favourite look lately is quite simple - my straight leg True Religion jeans, a simple cowl neck black & white sweater from Suzy Shier and the classic knee high boots shown here:
And NO you haven't seen these boots yet...I have a lot of boots. Maybe some day I will take a photo of my shoe closet. It doesn't really fit all my shoes, let alone all my boots, but it is still fabulous nonetheless...
I don't know about you but I seem to get into style ruts where I wear the same few items mixed in with a few new items. (I'm sure you noticed that with my many many mukluk posts, ahem.) I find that especially when I'm at work. I used to always wear black pants and a sweater with short boots in the winter. It wasn't fun going to work cuz I was just like super bored with my clothes. So now I make a conscious effort to accessorize if it's a boring outfit (to make it fabulous) or to just wear something super stylin' to brighten up a winter day. I have been finding lately that sweater dresses, tights and high boots are helping get out of the usual winter blah outfit ruts I find myself in.
I think I just ended up on a tangent there...wtf.
Back to colour.
Or, rather, lack of colour....cuz I'm hardcore technical like that. Ok, I'm not but whatevs...I totally am in my rose-coloured glasses view of me.
So I have taken the liberty of scouring polyvore (see my polyvore account here...I don't create a whole lot but I think some day I will become more obsessed with it than Pinterest just because it is more my thing than crocheted turkeys, glazed chicken and whatnot. Because seriously...well, just never mind.
Wow, that was another tangent. It must be the whiskey paralyzer I'm drinking. Hey look at me! I'm drunk blogging and it's fun!!
Hopefully you are still with me. If not, I totally don't blame you cuz like who wants to read the drunk bloggings of a Canadian who doesn't like colour and insults Pinteresters...WELL THAT'S ME, BITCHES! I'm not really calling you a bitch. I'm just alcoholized right now.
Ok, here's some freaking awesome black and white items I HEART. I need something to shut me up already...bahaha.
L.A.M.B. sandals (see more stiletto heels)
Ring (see more zirconia rings)
Skirt (see more knee length black skirts)
Salvatore Ferragamo tote bag (see more black leather tote bags)
Lauren Moshi t shirt (see more black and white tops)
Effy Collection ring (see more white gold jewelry)
Alexander McQueen clutch (see more alexander mcqueen clutches)
Jane Norman dress (see more zebra print dresses)
See? Black & white is fabulous, n'est pas? OUI.
Ciao bitches.
Okay I'm sorry, I'll never call you bitches ever again. Even if I mean it lovingly, like say if I said BIOTCHES. In which case you would be all like, wow. We must be bonding cuz she called me her biotch. And then I would be all like I don't even know you, you just secretly read my blog so umm, yeah thanks for reading my blog, you are totally my biotch. Dude.
