What was yours is loved again!

Hi lovelies!

Over the weekend I hosted a "Clothing Swap" Party!!!! For those who are unfamiliar with this, its a party where fashionitas can exchange their clothing and accessory items for another's! Essentially refreshing your wardrobe without spending any $$$!

So what happens when two or more ladies want the same item, one may ask? We, battle for it! Well not really....we have our other guests vote on who is rocking that item the best!

Loving the potluck table...the snowflake lanterns... were a hit with the girls:)

Cute cutlery set by pt trademark of Present Time on farminista.com. 

Fashion cuties, my blazer has a new life...hot hot hot!

Who wore it best?

A new tank top for this girly!

*This is a democratic process*

 take a look at those hand-made "Judy" voting signs made by yours truly!

Ended the night with some specialty tea, a gift from a "Fashionista Angel", Roxanne Woodley..."Be Cool" was my favourite flavour of the Kusmi Tea!!!

That was like shopping at 12 different stores in one afternoon and saving 100% of my cash!

Till next time,

Featured in "Bridges" Saskatoon's Local Newspaper!

Today has been an excellent day!

Honestly, I haven't been able say a bold statement like that in some time...it's always the day starts out well and then...(you know the rest) and/or it was a good day, then you are dropped a bomb that changes everything!

Well today, I was featured in a weekly Saskatoon paper under their #SaskatchewanFashion section which made me beam all day long:)

What I'm into....Music: Quadron

So for the last couple of weeks I have been loving and I mean LOVING this Danish duo "Quadron". They are a beautiful and intelligent pair that mix a lot of soul and R & B music, with some Euro-techno!!! You got to love that match but I will let them speak for themselves and their music:

In other interviews, they have mentioned how they came up with their band name....The duo mentioned that they are both 1/4 Black since Coco's grandfather is of African-descent and Robin's grandfather is African-American. "Quadroon" as it's spelt in North America is a historical term not used too often and usually individuals are referred to as "bi-racial" and/or "multi-racial". 

Another thing I really adore is Robin's style who always has such a gentlemanly and minimalist look with tailored separates!!! Coco, has so many great retro outfits and funky accessories. She is a curvy girl and working every single angle, it's very refreshing in this weight-obsessed media world we live in! Also her wavy hairstyle really suits her face shape:) 

For more on this up and coming band check out and "like" their Facebook page!

Also their music was the soundtrack to my dinner party in A Wild Night:)
By the way I am curious about the new music that you are into, leave a comment!!!!!

Happy listening xox

Elements of Style

What is style to you? How would you define your style identity?

Interesting questions that I have been pondering this week...For me its hard to say because it depends on my mood, the sticker price and the fit of my clothes at the current moment.

From others my style has been described as: flirty, sexy, classy, funky, pretty and even old-lady-ish *eyeroll*. Some of the above observations I don't really agree with but I feel like the elements of my wardrobe is a spectrum of all of these things, making up a blended style identity. These are elements you will usually catch me wearing:
