Touché Bouclé !

Oh bouclé  ... I so thought I'd seen the last of you. 8 years ago, I had my very talented Auntie sew me a frayed bouclé  jacket. It was a pretty messy undertaking... she had pink fibers all over her house. Unfortunately, the trend passed very quickly after she'd finished it, and I didn't get many chances to wear it. Fortunately I saved it and the trend is back!

I recently found this picture on Pinterest and I admit it's caused me a bit of a frantic obsession! My biggest pet peave is when Pinterest items don't have a link to find where to purchase the item!
I'm SO in love with this look that I found on Pinterest that I had to hunt it down! 
UniQueen Malang Jacket
I found the original, but they no longer have the color that the model was wearing on Pintrest... so being the hunter that I am I found another one on Ebay for a fraction of the price!
Get this one on ebay!
 You thought you'd gotten the best of me... but Touché Bouclé !

What Next




Prada ...photo from style.com

Somehow every time I obsess about something...search for it...attain and adore it... I suddenly see it EVERYWHERE... therefore ruining my excitement about owning one. This happened with my owl necklace... my backless shirt... my sequined miniskirt. So I figured, maybe I have fashion physic abilities? No, not really... if I did I'd be a designer and making millions. So what am I obsessing about right now? Fisherman sweaters. Yup... somehow I feel the old ugly sweater your grandma knitted you is going to make a reappearance....


The Pinterest photo that started my obsession and hunt.



 Here's one I found on ebay

See my last post with a chunky sweater to see how long I've been searching here!

Some Days You Just Don't Wanna...


If you've read my blog you've all heard my motto "Life's Too Short Not To Sparkle Every Day". But sometimes we need footnotes...so consider this my footnote to my motto. Some day's you just don't want to sparkle...sometimes you want to sink into the woodwork and become invisible. Those are the moments you dig to the back of your closet for your favourite old black sweater.

 Loved and worn and so darn comfortable, when you put it on it feels like a hug from a long lost friend. Well let me tell you something...when you are comfortable...you sparkle! So even in those moments...with your coffee in hand and your old faithful sweater on, you are beautiful! Don't let anyone hide your light!


p.s. I do realize it's plus 30 outside today and I'm talking about sweaters...but I LOVE fall fashion... and I can hardly wait!!
