Rompers on the brain I ended up buying the American Apparel romper this week. After I tried it on I realized how amazing it is and had to get it. I might also get a vintage piece off etsy, here are a few of my favorites. See any you like? Click on pictures for romper listings, all $34 or less.

Queen Michelle of the Kingdom of Style looks great modeling her birthday present dress. The idea of acquiring patterned tights has officially entered in my mind.

This outfit is from back when the camera was broken and the first time I wore the pink belt of awesomeness. A simple outfit I guess but I got so many compliments that night.

Guidelines for Guests of a Clothing Swap Party
-Make sure the items you are bringing to swap are clean and in good condition.
-For a potluck, actually make something, don’t bring mini donuts like I did.
-Listen when people tell you their names, this goes for any event. Maybe this is just me but I really like to know everyone’s names and feel a fool when I forget. I use visual memory to remember, when I met Erin I pictured her as a balloon inflating -’air in’ get it.
-Be patient and take your time going through the items. Grabbing is not pretty, this isn’t a Betsey Johnson Sample Sale!
-Give honest opinions when asked, these are girlfriends and they want the truth.
-If you see someone trying on an item you wanted for yourself, be sure to tell them how great they look in it and move on.
-As you choose each item to take, find out who the owner was so you can thank them.
Hana choose the chess sweater, Kate and Shannon modeling items.
This Swap was quite the success. There were many great items, lots of laughs and delicious potluck. Turns out our host Hana has a recipe blog, check her out at twogirlsforking.
I did come home with some really great pieces, these were my four favorites; Lauras J Crew Sweater, Joes Cream Dress, Hanas Yellow Strappy Sandals and Nalini’s Snake Print Dress. Thanks so much ladies!

With the Childrens Festival currently happening right across English Bay I thought it was an appropriate time to Fashion Flashback to my time there. I remember we got these awesome glittery batons, I still have mine.
When: 1990
Where: Vanier Park
Do I still have any items from this outfit: I loved this tie dye top and shorts, obviously they would no longer fit. But I do still have the watermelon face.
