If it’s not obvious enough thanks to my under eye bags, these pictures were taken veeery early in the morning. Sorry guys. I’m making you look at me at my worst again and again (first with the flu, now after rolling out of bed!). I promise I’ll be healthy and well-rested in the next post! Just look at my beautiful new bag instead for the time being, aka the new love of my life. The beautiful structure of the Mary NicholsBleecker bag is such a welcome and chic change from the big shapeless totes I usually lug to school. The tan colour also fits seamlessly into my wardrobe – I’ve worn it every day since I’ve received it!
March has been a bit brutal so far – think 10+ hours of sitting in a computer room every day. Thankfully, I have some exciting things coming up later this month to look forward to, including Vancouver’s first large-scale blogger sale that I’ll be taking part in!
If you’re in Vancouver, I’d definitely urge you to come out as there are going to be some amazing deals on hand, not to mention a chance to meet some of your favourite local bloggers. If you manage to get there early, you could also be one of the lucky 50 shoppers who receive a fabulous gift bag with swag from some of our amazing sponsors. Just wanted to give a special thanks to my lovely friends Alicia and Cee for being the driving forces in getting this sale put together!
Hope you’re all having an amazing Wednesday so far!
You look beautiful! 🙂 I love the fabric of these items, looks really nice and flowy.
Good luck with your sale! I've been contemplating getting involved with selling clothes as a small side project, and I admire all the bloggers that do it! March is a rough month, but at least there's April to look forward to. 🙂
Even though you were just woken up, you look gorgeous in that look! Love the first picture and the mix of patterns between the blouse and the pants! xoxo MY LITTLE SUEDE SHOES
The bag id so gorgeous, the prefect classic piece for any wardrobe. You look fab in palazzo pants! The blogger sale sounds so cool, please do post pics when it's over.
I really love the sheer top here, it's gorgeous especially with those fun printed pants! You look great for jut getting up I usually look much grumpier! Love the new purse! xJennaD
Well, I have to admit, I don't know what You are talking about, because you look absolutely amazing. You mix&match these two b&w prints so fabulous and I like how you added tan belt and bag as a contrast, but yet so wonderful touch to all look. ♥ xoxo Ra
The colour pairing here is beautiful, Alex – your outfit is a true testament of how black and brown can work together! And I don't know what you're talking about… just rolled out of bed?! Your face still looks fresher than mine does off 8 hours of sleep! Jealous!
Hope your week has been going well – excited to see you at the blogger sale (and to browse through your items of course)!
Look at you, pally – mixing prints like a pro! I still love those Lucca Couture pants so much, they really were made for you. And they work so well with your new school bag. I love black and brown together, and you come up with some of my favourite black and brown combinations, without a doubt. So happy to see our clothing sale poster in this post, by the way – can't believe how fast it's coming up, but I'm thrilled that you're going to be part of it 🙂 xox, Cee
Psh, whatever! Even at your "worst" you look gorgeous. Haha, and so stylish <3 You mixed those two prints perfectly. I doubt if I could ever pull it off. Haha, but you're tempting me to try this as well! And aw man, if I was in the area I would definitely stop by and check it out. Ah well, have fun! 🙂
I like the sturdy yet classic style of the bag; it's great for school! The print on print is fearless but I love the sheer quality of the shirt that flows so well into the pants.
I wish I could come out to the sale but that's the day of the dinner theatre production I'm coordinating =( I'm sure you'll have a great turnout and people will buy in lieu of me.
If this is what you look like at your worst, can you share your secret?! You look fresh and natural! The prints mix perfectly together and I love the cognac accents.
Hey Beautiful! That bag is awesome, I can see why you would be using it every day. Its perfectly structured. I love that you matched it with your belt, looks adorable!
I really like this outfit, the mix of fabrics and pattern is really nice, and I am in love with that bag! It's a great color and goes so well with your belt.
Wow you look amazing, you really are one of those people that can wear anything and look beautiful. And I really wish they would do something like this is DC, such a great idea!
I am DYING over your pants. They are huge and fabulous in every single way. Early morning photo shoots are tough for me, but I think I prefer them over late-night shoots. Makeup does wonders. Ha!
I love the necklace you've been wearing lately, what's the story behind that? I'm so happy for you, that you've managed to find a bag that you truly like. I'm still dreaming of a Mulberry, they're so timeless! Haha, your comment on my blog put a smile upon my face! It made me so glad that is 🙂 You know what, I think as well that you should come to Helsinki! We have great media deals with hotels, and since you're a blogger, you're media! If you find some spare time, you should contact VisitFinland for flights and then us at VisitHelsinki for the media deal 😉 It would be wonderful to meet you, or even just help you in organizing a trip!
What under eye bags – I see none! Wish I was in Vancouver for the event! Sounds really fun, congrats on being a part of it! Love the rugged tan color of your bag and belt!

I like your pants!! I've always wondered what I'd look like in them, but I'm short… I kind of think I might look a little ridiculous!
This is a really unique look! I can't say I've seen much like it… I didn't realize at first that there were separate top and bottoms– very cool!
