Some Mid Week Street Style Inspiration!!

I was feeling like I needed a bit of inspiration to get dressed this morning. So, I turned to my most trusted style blog, Stockholm Street Style to get some ideas for today's outfit!! These are the looks which caught my eye and why!!

I love how she really worked the brown color pallet and the gold bow is a nice change from the black one we have been seeing everywhere.

She makes this outfit look so effortless and beautiful!! I would love to wear this today!!!

Love the pop of color that the pink pants give her!! Plus I have a pink pair of jeans which may be able to give a similar look!

This look is so simple, but I somehow love it!!

The layers of black that this girl has going on is amazing!! A perfect winter look!!

Well I am off to put all of this inspiration to good use!! Hope you are having a wonderful day!!

All my love,

Karen

Le Pouf Rose!!

I am so in love with this French Pouf from Ban.do!! I think it would be the perfect accessory for a valentines extravaganza!! Speaking of, what are your plans??? Dominic and I were planning on going to Raymonds, which is supposedly the coolest restaurant in town. However, since it is brand new, it seems as though they are already booked for the day of love. So, it is our weekend mission to find a replacement restaurant. Wish us luck!!

P.S - I also love the model's headband and the perfect color of her lips. I think I am due for a new pink lipstick!! How about you??

Ciao,

50's Inspired Wall Clock

I have been searching for this exact clock for ever. And now that I found it at Cosas - an online Swedish store, specializing in handicrafts from Sweden and around the world, they do not send to Canada.  I guess my search will have to continue - such a shame!!! 

If anyone knows of an online store where I can get such a clock and they will ship to Canada - please let me know!!

Hej Da,

Cute as a Button!!

Love this collection of white buttons!! It would look perfect in our white on white, Swedish inspired house!! I may just have to order them as I think I have the perfect spot for them!!

Hope you are having a wonderful day,

The Snood

Ever since I went to Sweden which was about six years ago, I fell in love with the versatility and beauty of scarfs which are such a big part of Sweden's fashion culture. They can be worn in many ways, with many different outfits, adding that perfect touch color and warmth to any outfit. This may be why I am also really enjoying the snood this season. A snood which is a cross between a scarf and a hood also boasts great versatility.  You can wear it draped over your head like a hood or coiled around your neck like a scarf - you decide but either way it will keep you looking chic,fashionable and toasty warm on those cold, long winter days - a must for anybody living in the north. 


If you don't already have one and you are interested in buying one, there are some great ones at ASOS which I have also been eyeing up!!

                           ASOS Popcorn Hand knit Fringe Snood

                                  ASOS Fringe Cable Snood

                                  Low Chunky Merino Snood

WIngs of an.......?????

My lovely sister brought these earring home for me when she went on a trip to Vancouver!! How thoughtful and nice it was of her!! I love them - but I am still trying to decide what kind of wings they are???? They look like angel wings but I am a but thrown off because they are black - maybe a dark angel?!?! Either way they are a great pair earrings - thanks Sonia!!!

Ta Ta For Now,

Arte de Pluma (feather in Spanish)

While the Mexican Beach "Vendedores" used to only sell silver, those times are gone. Intermixed with the silver sellers are artists selling their home-made goods. We found this couple, Elisabet and Angel, selling these feather accessories in Sayulita. They hand pick all of their feathers from environmentally/animal friendly sources, dye the feathers themselves and after design the piece. They had an amazing selection of earrings, hair pieces and dream catchers. If you would like to make an order from their collection, you can contact them at chavezchapa@hotmail.com or jangelsunchezm@hotmail.com.

As I have been looking for a  great pair of feather earring, I quickly bought a purple pair which I love!! They even have a tine little skulls as the base of the earring!! I hoping to wear them alot this summer back in Canada as it will remind me of Mexico!!

XOXOX,

My Beloved Ring

I am not sure if you have noticed my bright turquoise ring or not, but since I got it a few months ago I haven't been able to take it off. I bought it from some young Argentinean artists who have been traveling around Mexico making and selling their own jewelry. I think this is an amazing piece of art and it is so great to support local artists rather than buying something which has been massed produced. The greatest thing is that there will be never be another ring like this one.

Muchos Besos,

Karen
