Fabulous Friday’s Linkup -Some Fun Dresses (and Hats!)

For this Fall, I’ve been loving the looks I’m creating with some Bellelily products that have been sent to me. I will be sharing some adorable scarves very soon with you on Monday’s post- so stay tuned! But for now- see what I’ve been styling up:

This adorable burgundy dress (my staple color for fall), is flowy, fun and a real passe-partout. It can be chic, casual- anything I want! Look at how darling!

**Super easy to style this adorably feminine dress.** **Make it funky with a boho hat and vest; turn this darling into a super fun look!**

And- Who says you can’t dress up in light colours for the fall/winter…White not?! I actually love a crisp white dress for the winter- the color of snow! See how fun this looks paired with a black faux fur. I am all over this look:

**All these looks are with this one same dress- flipped from back to front. I love it!!** **And what better accessory than a vintage Russian fur hat!**

Are you in love with these two dresses?? Here is an Exclusive Coupon:10% off for order over CAD$52: Use Code: BLE10

You can also check out their All under $9.99, or clearance page! Their prices are incredible without taking away from the quality. Check them out:)

SCORPIO Fashion Styling- ZODIAC Fashionphile Edition!

Mystery, mystery, mystery is what this fabulous woman is all about. You can’t really tell what’s going on in her mind- and when it comes to her wardrobe, there always seems to be a touch of drama without revealing it all. This lady is classy, sexy, chic or vampy all in one. She doesn’t really want you to know what she’s all about. Intrigue is the key word here!

So, let’s look at some Scorpio styling babes here and see what emanates from their style. Is there really mystery? I think so!

Ellen Pompeo Responds to Backlash Over Resurfaced Comments About Harvey Weinstein | PEOPLE.com — **Ellen Pompeo is all that and more…**

**Kendall Jenner…you never know what she’s gonna wear. Anne Hathaway…just when you thought you had her figured out. Chloe Sevigny is her own woman. Period.**

LOS ANGELES, CA – NOVEMBER 01: Julia Roberts is seen at ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ on November 01, 2018 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by RB/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images)

Goldie Hawn- always in taste and absolutely gorgeous. She’s timeless and always on point- deliciously chic! And as for Ivanka, this gorgeous lady is in control, poised and never a stylish faux pas. Mystery and beauty is what every Scorpio woman emanates.

If you want to add a little spice and mystery to your styling, why don’t you step it up to a Scorpio girl’s standards…and keep’em wondering. Remember: Intense.

So when I tried to think of something to style up in Scorpio taste- I looked no further than to this gorgeous- chic and mysteriously sexy EVA VARRO black sultry flower print head-turner. This dress hugs all my curves, leaving much to the imagination.

In this Eva Varro Long Sleeve Chinese dress, I felt gorgeous, powerful, confident and completely in control. Scorpio intensity with all the mystery- am I right?

Here’s me trying to style it up Scorpio Style…Did I nail it?

And here’s a tiny clip of me styling it up- Watch:

Are you a Scorpio? Would you dress as one?

Stay tuned next month for Exhibit: SAGGITARIUS party gal!

Fabulous Friday- Come on Over to the Linkup Party!

Another full week of family, styling and fashion in this realm of the woods. We were blessed her in Montreal with summer-like weather and I am so grateful for that! The longer winter stays away, the happier I am!

I kicked off the week in this gorgeous Eva Varro outfit. I adore the eclectic mix of colours in the jacket. Together with the electric blue joggers, this outfit was an automatic cool chic. And- nothing is better than being dressed up and feeling amazing and comfy at the same time. The fabric is everything. From great fit that brings out your best while camouflaging the rest! I love this outfit from the Eva Varro collection! Take a look:

Then, on Wednesday I had fun styling up with a group of amazing ladies up on Insta for our every second week # wearitonwednesday challenge. And this week it was all about vests! Here is a look at my vest:

**I love leatherette and pairing this vest with black leggings (also pleather in the front) was a simple but fun match. Giving me all the biker girl vibes! Rocking this mood all Wednesday long!**

And- here are the ladies that I joined with:

First pic; top left clockwise: @gwenliveswell, @round2it, @foragoodlifeafter50, @seechele_styles, @hayley.constantino Second pic: @jtouchofstyle, @fashiontandf, @adafurxhi, @jbowenandcompany, @sasforshort

And now for my FAVOURITE FASHION DIVA from the Linkup Party is… Cheryl of Cheryl Shops ! I love red with animal print and she styled this up so beautifully. In her post she also shows her other gorgeous outfit ideas.

My FAVOURITE READ from the Linkup Party was by: Jill of Doused in Pink for her Holiday Gift Guide for Her. So many new ideas to pick from. I love lists of suggestions- don’t you?

Now Lovies… Are you ready for THE LINKUP PARTY?!!! Please come and join the party by LINKING UP!!! AND- Please SPREAD THE WORD! The more the merrier:))

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

7Day Skirt Challenge Linkup! Who Wears Short Skirts? We Wear…

Remember that jingle?! Honestly it’s been awhile since I’ve worn mine. Dresses, pants, jumpsuits, shorts, tunics…all these take precedence over skirts in my styling. I just noticed that this past week.

If it weren’t for Gail of Is This Mutton, who put out a fantastic 7 Day Skirt Challenge up on Instagram…I probably still wouldn’t be styling mine! And I have so many cute ones!!!

**How stylish is she!! I love all the combinations she styled up- she looks amazing!**

Not only are skirts versatile with their multiple personalities, but most of them Never go out of style. Don’t believe me? Pick any from your own closet and pair it with a trendy top or jacket and voila- it works!

Here’s what I styled up these past 7 days:

DAY 1 (you’ve seen this one as a preview!)

**Remember this beautiful Eva Varro one?!**

DAY 2 (And this too was a sneak peak!)

**Oh Delicious Cranberry or Burgundy- Whatever!**

DAY 3

**My friend Thriftyniftyoverfifty on Instagram designs these! She sews on brilliant tie designs!**

DAY 4

**This one was definitely my favourite skirt styling of the week. I love everything about this: colours; high boots, patterned mini skirt; sleeves!!!**

DAY 5

**This one had all the makings of a sweeter Cruella…suiting the creepy vibes!** **There’s nothing I love more than a silky skirt with chunky boots.**

DAY 6

**HAHA and this one which everyone thought it looked Red on Instagram!! (I’m terrible at editing!!)** I loved wearing this very old chiffon summer skirt! Paired with this Joseph Ribkoff jacket (that I completely forgot I had)- made the fall transition so perfect! I’m in love with this skirt again. See what I said about skirts never going out of style?!!

DAY 7 (Last Day…oh nooooo!)

This groovy skirt is gonna have a few more dates lined up and I will make sure of that! How cute is it with this adorable faux fur little bag!! Loving that the cowboy boots dress it down to such a comfy look for the season. How do you like it?

And on a last note about why I think styling challenges are super important…Watch here:

So that’s it my Lovies! Which skirt do you prefer? And…Will you be styling up your skirts soon?

I’ve loved doing Gail’s challenge and today I’m also happy to be participating in her Link up! Thanks so much Gail!!

A special linky just for skirts! If you’ve been taking part in the #7DaySkirtChallenge on Insta, showcase your looks.

Bloggers, go ahead with providing us some winning skirt outfits! Please try to visit and comment on the other posts.

Have a great rest of the week my Lovies!

Fabulous Friday’s Linkup Party- Where We Style it Up!

Is it me or did this week also just fly by? It could also be that I’ve had 3 Scorpio birthdays this week…one day after the other- YIKES!! We’ll be cutting cake this weekend. Meanwhile, I’ve been styling up a storm with some great challenges I’ve been part of.

Here’s what I wore for the #wearitwednesday challenge I’m part of; Burgundy or Cranberry was the theme. I still can’t tell those two colours apart. Can you?

I’ve also styled an adorable leatherette Eva Varro skirt this week. I wore it as part of Gail, of Is This Mutton‘ s #7DaySkirtChallenge. (Will be posting a full review of the skirts I wore all week, and do a Linkup with Gail next Tuesday on this!!) But here’s a teaser to what you’ll be seeing in next week’s post…The week kicks off with this adorable Eva Varro skirt:

**This skirt is soft, comfy and goes with everything- I’m totally in love!!**

And so thankful to have been featured by Oh My Heartsie Girl and by Gail of Is This Mutton, and also by Michelle of My Bijou Life Online– for my hodgepodge print mixing outfit! I love mixing prints- and it makes me so happy when others appreciate my styling (not everyone does- I’ll leave it at that!) It’s just that this kind of styling just makes me so happy- don’t know what it is!

And now onto my FAVOURITE FASHION DIVA of the LINKUP PARTY: Iris of La Moumous!!!

The Thrifty Six Does Plaid!

I’m so thrilled with this blogger collaboration that’s coming to you every 3rd Monday of the month with a fun thrifted or vintage theme!

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is thrifty-six-2-1.jpg

This month’s theme is PLAID! I have to admit I do have a few pieces of plaid in my beloved closet…but I honestly don’t style them up enough! I don’t know why…maybe squares are not the first things I’m attracted to? Well that’s gonna change! From now on, amma style me up some good loving hodgepodge- you just wait and see!

“The Thrifty Six: “Check” Out Our Preloved Styles in Heritage Prints”

This vintage plaid dress has been hanging quietly for too long. I mean just look at her personality- I just had to take her out for a spin! She’s also super versatile, in that I love styling her up as a coat too! Everything about this (except the reversible Gucci belt) has either been thrifted or bought ages ago (some even decades!).

But that’s not all! This dress not only fits me way better than back in the 80’s (scrawny thing with the hugest shoulder pads thinking I was so cool lol!)- It also doubles as a coat!! OMG I love it this way even more! Not sure if I prefer the patent boots with it or the red cowboys…Your thoughts?

Please visit all my lovely friends to see more of their gorgeous outfits and to get to know them better!

Emma of Style Splash

“I found this dress in a charity shop recently for less than £5. Blue and brown is a very on trend colour combination for this season, although that isn’t why I bought it. I love to wear all types of check patterns in Autumn and Winter, and this dress is great for layering over a thin roll neck sweater and tights. It has pockets too…happy days!”

Grace of Graceful Rags

“If I were home right now, I would’ve had plenty of thrifted plaid/check/houndstooth pieces to choose from. But unfortunately, I’m away at college with only 17% of my wardrobe (gasp!), which meant I had to get creative for this month’s collaboration. I made a quick stop by a local thrift store and was largely unsuccessful, so I decided to try out a thrifted man’s flannel instead for the sake of this blog post. I decided it would be fun to turn it into a lil’ style challenge to see if I could make a huge male shirt flattering… How did I do??”

Jane of Preloved-Vintage-Handmade

“The traditional to the avant-guard…The Thrifty Six are showcasing Heritage prints this month and here I bring you Royal Stuart Tartan – Highland Heritage in its purest form! It can be traditional or somewhat avant-garde. I go both ways, buttoned-up Victoriana to raw Punk Rock; reminiscent of Vivienne Westwood back in the anarchic 1970’s…I bought the skirt and waistcoat separately (on eBay), they’re from two different brands but the fabric is identical in every way so they make a perfect suit. They’re both vintage and the waistcoat has a very interesting brand label. It says… ‘Susan Barry – the clothes that men admire’ I’m really not kidding – HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGED!!!!”

Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style

“When I heard that the theme for this month’s collaboration would be check, I thought: ‘Oh boy, have to search for something checked online!’ But instead I searched my closet and there came out my old checked tweed skirt. The funny story about the skirt is that I had bought this one years and years ago in the shop where I used to work. I gave it away at one point and discovered it two years ago on the preloved online shop. And bought it again! Just love the tweed and Chanel-esque feel. Especially with all the pearls!”

Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge

“When Emma announced the checkered theme for this month, I used it as an excuse to go thrift shopping. I definitely have plaid and checked preloved items in my wardrobe, but I don’t venture out much these days so it was the perfect excuse. I found this adorable black and white gingham dress (NWT) and these camouflage joggers (NWT) during that trip. I had no intention of wearing them together until I saw them lying in my cart next to each other. It was a match made in print mixing heaven! I added this preloved velvet off the shoulder sweatshirt because the dress is sleeveless and it’s getting cold around here. My furry clutch is also preloved (Poshmark). And the tie in my hair is the belt from the dress. We headed off to the park to capture some of the beautiful fall foliage in my photos.”

We will be back next month with another pre loved theme!

Linkup Party is on! Fabulous Fridays and the Week’s Recap!

Is everyone weekend-ready? It’s going to be Thanksgiving weekend for us here in Canada. But this year will be so different. This pandemic has got us almost on lockdown- well not really, but it sure feels like it since we aren’t allowed anyone in our homes except for those living with us. What are we gonna do?? My husband says he’s still cooking that turkey and I guess the kids will have to do the ‘pick- up- at- Mom & Dad’s- curb’ thing!

So what have I been styling up since last Friday? Well, last Saturday had me posting these fabulous leopard-hemmed jeans by Joseph Ribkoff from 1ereavenue.com. I am crazy about the fit! And you all know how hard it is for me to style and wear jeans if the fit isn’t perfect and comfy. But just look at these!!

And this week I also styled up this gorgeousness of a dress by Eva Varro – LA Designer. I mean can you believe the motif and colours in this beauty?!! I’ll be styling up more of the Eva Varro Collection and posting it for you to see. It’s mind-blowingly stunning!!

And of course more styling challenges! This one was on Instagram for #trendsinyourcloset by @imanorbyah and @annazzon. I styled up a mix of Leather, vests, and mixing prints.

And my favourite challenge always has to be by @affectionatelyaudrey for Intimates worn outside! And it was a double- whammy since Anna and Norbyah both had this in their challenge as well! So it worked out perfectly. Loved wearing my nighty-wear out!

And Thank you so much to the wonderful Michelle of My Bijou Life Online for featuring me!! As well, my beautiful and always there for me- friend Andrea from Living on Cloud Nine9 also featured me (for my post:LIBRA Fashion Styling- ZODIAC Fashionphile Edition ). Thanks so much!

I always feel honoured and so blessed to be part of this fabulous community. I love what we all contribute to this platform- but even more than that, I love what you fabulous blogger ladies are all about!!

And now onto My Favourite Linkup Fashionista of the Week: Lee of Leegalleablonde.com

**I‘m crazy about these boots and this whole look!!** **Isn’t she just adorable!!!**

And- My Favourite Linkup Read of the Week was by: Alison of Midlife and Beyond for her post Turning Sixty – No Big Deal! Such a fascinating read that brought me down my own memory lane as well. Such an interesting and fun read that defies ageism and its stereotypes! Loved this!

Turning Sixty – No Big Deal!! (30th September 2020)
