Denim, I Love You

Its been a while since I have gone outside without wearing a parka and pair of fuzzy boots. So, when the sun came out today I didn't hesitate to grab my wedges and leave my parka in my closet.

For this look, I decided to play down the accessories as I was trying to go for a more simple look.
 I'm really loving the denim on denim & the cognac colored belt, bag, & shoes. These two hues really complement each other.

 Awkward hand position pose. I should really stick to my day job.

Careless Whisper

How was everyone's weekend? Was it productive unlike mine? I hope so. Sundays always feel so crappy when you've procrastinated the entire weekend leaving everything last minute. Maybe that's why its called the 'Sunday Night Blues.'

On another note, the weather has been so wonderful. I've forgotten how great it feels to wake up to the warm sun shining on my face and not have to wear a jacket when I step outside!

So..yay! I got a chance to wear my new jeans, I love them. I was always a little skeptical about wearing colored jeans because I thought they made you look less slimming. But I couldn't care less now, I really like the way they look.

I have very poppy veins... 

Like my bracelet? My brother's girlfriend made it for me! She's so creative! Btw, you're probably wondering why I titled my blog, "Careless Whisper?" I just felt like it haha!

A Late Friday Favorites

Soooo......today might not be Friday, but who says I can't do Friday Favorites on a Saturday! Enough said, lets start!


Favorite book

The Secret Garden is one of my most cherished novels. Its easy to read and inspirational in so many ways. If you love the book, there are a few remakes. I personally like the 1993 movie, starring Kate Maberly as the sour Mary Lennox.


Favorite virgin cocktail

Ice + Cream of Coconut + Pineapples +  Scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream =
YUM!


 Favorite childhood crush
The beautiful Leonardo DiCaprio. Sigh, hes so dreamy.  Still love him!


Favorite thing to eat in the morning
Yup, eggs. I love them poached, scrambled, over easy, boiled, but most of all sunny side up!


Favorite Easter egg design
I wish all eggs were decorated so pretty like this! Then again, they would be too pretty I wouldn't want to break them!

That's the end to my Friday Favorites, what are some of yours? 
Thanks for reading!

Rad Red & Sage

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a Happy Easter. Mine was simple and sweet. Did you guys pig out on chocolate Easter eggs like I did? I try not to buy too much chocolates and candy before Easter day because they always go on sale a few days after. Time to stock up!

Anyways, a couple of weeks ago I sacrificed a day to sleep in to wake up early for a sample sale I've been anticipating. It was basically four boutiques coming together to sell. They had everything from a $400 Burberry baby bag to bins full of $10 dollar tops. After going through every bin and all the racks, nothing really caught my attention and I thought I was going to leave empty handed. But then, there was a pair of dark red jeans just folded neatly on the floor....Run! Snatch! Squeeze myself into them. They fit. They're mine, YES!

Rich & Skinny - The Legacy - Rad Red size 25


I really like this color of red, its not too bright and not too dark. Just right. If you want more details about them check out the official Rich and Skinny site, I've also seen them on Revolve Clothing. I bought them for $60, what a steal!



Anyways, just when I thought my online shopping days were over, I stumbled upon this fashion site called Tobi. And it just so happens that I like majority of what I see. They have everything from clothing to phone accessories and for decent prices too. I'm pretty sure you know how this story ends. Well...I didn't go crazy, maxing out my credit card. I restrained myself from that and ordered one blouse, just one.

36 point 5, Solid Pocket Blouse, color - Sage, size S


I like it, a little rougher then I would have liked but the color is really nice and will look good with white jeans! I can't really remember how much I paid, because when I bought it, it was on sale but now the sale is over. Don't be alarmed, there are new sales every day on Tobi!

Anyways, hope you enjoyed reading. Until Next time!

A Little Recap


First of all I would like to apologize for taking soooooo long to update! I've been extremely busy and sleep deprived this entire week. With that said, I decided I am going to do a recap of what's been going on these past few days.



1. If you've been following my http://annyder.blogspot.ca/ blog, you know I have been working on a blazer in my construction class. Well, finally after many...many...many long hours and a few tears I can finally say I am DONE! 

2. The second picture is my oldest Aunt's iron. Its from the 70s and is so old school that you need to have a wet cloth over whatever you are pressing or else it will burn right through! Luckily there was no accidents!



 
1. A favorite snack of mine these past few days. Its so yummy and simple. All you need is a slice of bread toasted. For this snack I prefer to use bread you find in Asian Bakeries, its slightly sweeter. Butter the toast and if you are watching your weight...just butter it cause there is no alternative! It's just not the same without the butter! Then add your favorite jam. I used raspberry jam, cause its my favorite. Then finish it off with a drizzle of sweet condense milk! Lovely.

2. A new breakfast joint that opened up. It's called Cora, here is the link  http://www.chezcora.com/home If you love everything about breakfast then definitely give it a try. They serve an abundance amount of fruit and it almost looks too pretty to eat!




1. My brother's hobby has been making his own, custom hockey socks. He basically took apart one of his own socks, made a template, made some adjustments, cut out of the fabric, and I helped him sew it. If you're wondering why the right sock looks so beat up, its because I sewed that one...boo. And my Aunt sewed the left one.

2. Ever wonder what a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup milkshake would taste like? Treat yourself to Jugo Juice's new PB & Chocolate smoothie and you'll know. Its made with low-fat frozen yogurt, chocolate almond beverage and all-natural peanut butter and bananas. It taste amazing and best of all you won't feel guilty when drinking down to the last drop!


This is the root to my lack of sleep. A project in my Fashion Awareness class. I completely underestimated how long it would take me and I had to hand it in a day late 'sad face' 

Anyways, that's what has been going on this past week. Hope you enjoyed! Until next time, Happy Easter!
