Still in Romania!

This post was made in advance as a little filler. I'm actually still in Romania probably wearing something similar to the picture below since it is most likely very warm. Tonight I'm going to the Electrofish concert in Bucharest to see Audio Bullys. The venue looks amazing. Modern music and fancy high-tech lights enclosed inside a beautiful Roman-style building. It'll be big! I'm excited!

I'll be back inVancouver on the third, after which I may need a couple of days to get my university tasks sorted out. But I will have many photos to post afterwards!

What kid doesn't love getting the mail? We've been searching for a little mailbox that appeals to the younger crowd...and we've found a great one. Check out this one designed by Melissa & Doug - you can find it at Oliebollin. They've also got lots of other cool toys for kids - so browse around once you're there - start getting those ideas for Christmas (I know it's August...but time flies with kids!)

Burfitt

I don't know very much about Burfitt, since it's site doesn't offer any information, but I do know that I like what I'm seeing. A lot. This collection is very dark. Almost eerie. It seems like a combination between a show girl, magician, mime and a John Galliano collection. The silhouettes are breathtaking. Someone really should bring back tall top hats.

Her First Set of Heels

We seriously cannot get over these adorable little shoes! Got a baby shower to go to in the next few months? We DEFINITELY suggest picking up some of these Heelarious Heels for the baby - you will have the best gift - we PROMISE! With six different baby heels to choose from you're sure to find one that will make you smile :) Fits infants 0-6 months.

We Like Them Big

Large pieces of jewelery are surprisingly versatile. I like them styled over crazy prints (shown left) or simple grey knits (shown right). If you were wondering how to spruce up your many simple American Apparel tops, this would be a good way to do it. I've been on the lookout for a grand necklace at thrift stores but I've only found a few interesting broaches myself.

Alice + Olivia For Payless

I had no idea that Alice + Olivia was collaborating with Payless Shoes. Payless is known for low priced and low quality footwear. My relationship with them has been hit or miss. I have a couple of pairs that kill my toes because the straps are made of plastic, not patent leather, and I don't get very much wear out of them. On the other hand, two of my favourite pairs of flat leather sandals came from Payless, and they are extremely comfy. These pink satin shoes are so much fun! I hope the bottom of the straps are leather. Usually Payless doesn't do heels above three inches, so the four inch heel is a good surprise. If I run into these I'll definitely be trying them on. I hope they're comfy.

A Security Must...

This small and affordable, $3.95, finger printing kit is something all parents should own! Get one for each of your kids to have handy in case the unthinkable happens. There is even a DNA kit included....we hope you will never need to use it after you fill it out - but we'd hate for you to lose precious time should you need it and not have it. You can find this at Leaps&Bounds.

Re-work It

Sadly, I have many items in my wardrobe that never see the light of day. I would get inspired by a certain pattern or color, take the item home, and then I would be put off by a difficult shape with a not-so-great fit. I wear both of these skirts very rarely. Mainly due to the fact that they have to be worn with heels, otherwise they hit at an unflattering spot on the leg and make me look stumpy. I reworked the blue dress by layering a white cotton skirt underneath and pinning them both together to add a bit of volume. It looks great! But rather dressy. I'll need to find a proper place to wear it.

Too Cool for School...

So we've heard a lot of moms talking recently about getting ready to send the kids back to school...and labels keeps coming up. So we thought we'd scour the internet searching for the trendiest labels we could find...b/c if you're gonna subject your kid to labels on their clothing/backpacks/lunch containers, etc...you had better do it in style --- or there might be some snickering involved {and not from your kid}

For Backpacks and lunch totes we found - Sunny Day Tags

and for everything else like notebooks, binders, books, etc - ToodlesDoodles
