Jessica Simpson Tulip Tunic Dress

I was browsing the internet looking for a pair of brown heeled sandals to wear with my Target for Tucker dress. I eventually ended up browsing the Jessica Simpson Collection and came upon this dress. I am in love with the colour and shape of the dress. I don't love the buttons on the shoulder but I am sure they could be cut off. If it wasn't $128 I would probably have clicked BUY.

What do you think?

You can buy it for $128 through JessicaSimpsonCollection.com

Girl of the Blogosphere: Sabine

Name: Sabine

City: London

Blog: Psynopsis


Who is your fashion inspiration?

It’s not really a Who but diverse things - people I meet or things I see on the street, on TV, in films or magazines… My fashion inspiration moments often come to me shortly before I fall asleep.

What is one thing you always carry in your bag?

Handcream.

What is your current favourite fashion trend?

Lots of different trousers shapes. Wide on wide. Big blazers. Raglan sleeves.

What is the current trend you dislike the most?

It’s not that I dislike it, but I think maxi dresses and skirts are more difficult to pull off than most people realize. Not many girls actually manage to look great wearing something on a normal day around town that would be perfect for a beach party with a bikini underneath (that’s the flowy styles) or an item that clings to your body in some unfortunate places (that would be the slinky jersey ones).

Why did you start your blog?

I wanted to practice my photography and was eager to share everyday sartorial headaches.

Who takes your photos for you/ How do your take your photos?

Generally I take the pictures. For outfit pics I use a tripod and remote control. Sometimes when we are out and about I ask a friend/the hubs to take a quick shot.

How would you describe your style?

Simple. I guess the early 90s made a big impression on me because I’m still struggling to get out of the minimalism routine.

What is one thing you are dying to buy this spring?

I already got it – I wanted something really colourful, so I got myself yellow trousers.

Are you a shoes or bags kind of girl?

Shoes! I can’t be bothered with changing my bags very often, but shoes I can’t have enough!

What is one thing that you regret buying?

Some terribly unflattering wool trousers from Lover. They made me feel so bad I had to give them away.

If you could meet one person from the fashion industry/ a fashion icon who would it be?

Daphne Guinness.

What is your favourite vacation destination?

Italy. Hanging out in a country villa with occasional trips to the beautiful cities.

What is one totally random fact you want others to know about you?

I used to teach Ashtanga yoga.

Ardene ACO Party Girl Nail Polish

Every once in a while I have to branch away from blue or green polish. The weather has been quite warm the last few weeks and nothing says summer like a hot pink polish. I think this is such a fun colour and it goes with pretty much anything. Although that has never stopped me from wearing a crazy colour before.

Victoria Day Weekend

This past weekend Canada celebrated Victoria Day. It commemorates Queen Victoria's Birthday and is always held on the weekend closest to May 24th. According to Wikipedia the holiday is also meant to celebrate the current monarchs birthday so I suppose we were supposed to be celebrating Queen Elizabeth II also. My cousin came to visit from Toronto so I thought I would share a few photos. I hope she doesn't mind making an appearance on the blog.

Spinach Pizza. You can't tell I dropped it while taking it out of the oven, right?

A long weekend calls for Rose

Sour Cream Spiced Cupcakes. Dense but delicious

Wine Touring

Did you know Wayne Gretzky had a winery? 99 Wayne Gretzky Estates. The wine isn't very good. Or so my cousin said. I was the DD



I hope everyone had a great weekend!
