Five Buttons!?



Blurry photo, but it is Pink Orchid by Pure Anada - the perfect hot pink gloss!


Bathroom photo shoot starts here! You're welcome ;)






A new pair of high(er) waist denim shorts. I didn't realize how many buttons were on there until I was doing them up! FYI: 5 in total (one is hidden)

Purple Pride









Hi everyone & happy Friday to you all! Any big weekend plans? You're probably expecting me to say work... And you're right! Ha. Almost pulled a fast one on ya there! Although I have to work, I'm going to my friend Erin's house for a girl's night in tomorrow evening. I can't wait! It feels like it's been forever since I've seen these ladies, and unfortunately not everyone can come. Nevertheless, it will be good to get out and have some FUN!

If you're tired of seeing pictures of me, well, too bad, because you had to go through all the pictures before reaching this text! I remixed an outfit from last week by switching up leggings for tights, boots for flats, and one vintage belt for another.

Wearing: Vera Moda Tunic/dress, Joe Fresh pattern tights, Walmart leopard flats, vintage woven belt. The great thing about wearing belts is that they can transform an outfit in a pinch! Without it, the tunic is easy, breezy & pretty floaty. The belt kind of polishes it up and gives it a more feminine feel.

Oh, and that last picture? Yeah, that's what I look like after a run (and some strength training since I don't want noodle arms). In fact, I ran TWICE today. I'm on a roll, baby! 5 K, here I come (which I KNOW I can kill!). Maybe I'll make that a 10K race in May before the 5K in June. Something to ponder...

What's your favourite way to polish up an outfit?

A Tour Pour Vous!


Oh, Audrey! And look at that - my new shoe rack! It holds up to 18 pairs of shoes (I haven't scrounged up all my shoes from downstairs, so I know they all won't fit), and it spins around for easy picking! I am quite content with it, to say the least. Also, there is a stack of magazines there since I have no where else to put them.


Oh, Marilyn! Of course, I have to have BOTH of my favourites in my room! This little area is right by my mirror. It's basically just pictures - some polaroids I had taken back when the film wasn't ridiculously expensive, a little card that came with the flowers Brandon bought me for my birthday (he was away working and sent them to school for me, and I'm a sentimental kinda gal and kept the card), and pictures of B & me!


I found this hook thing (I don't know what you'd call it) the other day at Winners, and while I had originally thought of buying cute door knobs to hang my scarves on, this was way cuter AND way cheaper! However, I think I need another, because my scarf collection is expanding - rapidly.


I found this cute fabric box the same day I found the hook thingy (I am so exact, aren't I?). It seemed big enough in the store, but like the hook thingy, I'll be needing another soon! I keep my purses in here, minus two which are downstairs and some that are tucked into random spots of my room. Hmm.


Where do my necklaces go? Right there! Excuse me for being so dorky, HA! My necklaces at the moment are just hung on the end of my curtain rod. It's easier than it looks to get them down, since I strategically place them in their spot (wherever that is). One day, I will think of something more clever and more organized for these babies!


This is where my make up, perfumes, hair things, etc. go. The Eiffel Tower stand to the side there holds my earrings, well, the ones that aren't studs, anyway! The orange basket holds make up brushes, hair brushes, lip glosses, eye shadows, my foundation compact, and other little make up goodies! The box next to it holds hair bands and hair clips, and in the drawer thing at the very end holds any make up pallets, a few chunky bangles that wouldn't fit anywhere else, and various make up products that are old, but I don't want to get rid of!

And then of course the other boxes are perfumes, nail polishes, and hair ties and necklace pendants are kept on the top of the drawer stand.


Alright! Well this post took longer than expected to put together! I always wondered why some other bloggers said it took them "sooo longggg" to put together a post, and although mine was under an hour, it still took longer than usual! More pictures + more writing = more time. I'm so smart!

Well, I am off to go get ready for the day! My mom has company downstairs, so I'm going to stay upstairs until I know they're gone. Isn't it always awkward when you go downstairs looking like a morning monster and your parents have friends over? Yes. I would like to avoid that situation.

Have a fabulous day, all!

Love, Holly xoxo
