SCARBERIAN FASHION LOVER

As a huge fan of the The Walking Dead, I know that ponchos are serious business, y'all! Ergo, I had to knit one, of course. poncho I knitted with Wilfred top underneath, Talula leggings, Tod's loafers My husband said it's very "Hunger Games" too, which just made my day:D Inspiration: image from scifinow.co.uk image from wetpaint.com Do you like ponchos? :D

Yesterday was the first day of the Toronto Knitter's Frolic , held at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. To say that I was excited was a bit of an understatement. It was my first time going, and oh my! What a great event, y'all! It was awesome to see and feel the yarn from companies, big and small. All the vendors were also a pleasure to deal with. I'll definitely try to do some workshops next year as well, as they sounded pretty rad. I went with my daughter (sons were left with the hubby), my sister-in-law and my youngest sister (who is not a knitter, but ended up enjoying the event and got a knitting kit:)) Here are some pics I took: yarn winding station We were both excited....heehee Saw so many inspiring knitted pieces, both from the vendors and just people walking around Peace out!  My haul: awesome Knitter's Frolic tote, child sweater kit, lots of awesome yarn goodness for shawls, Sock Rockets needle, nostepinne, ...

I'm kinda digging the stripes of this top because it's a bit different than my usual horizontal/vertical ones:) old top given by a friend with Banana Republic tank under, LEI jeans from Walmart, Vans slip ons with a Topshop coat  Wishing you all a fantastic Friday, and weekend:) Any plans?

These were considered "trendy" last year even though they have been around for ages. After the Celine SS13 collection came out, it seemed like everyone was wearing them. I resisted, I tellz yah....but those darn Olsen twins! I always get jealous when I see their photos wearing this type of sandals, so these got purchased from Little Burgundy :P (Let me tell you....these are sooooo comfy. These are my first Birkis, and definitely will not be the last.) Birkenstock Arizona sandals And yes...I'll be wearing them with socks. Bite me. Try to buy Birkis in person so you can get the right fit. If you have to order online, I suggest buying one size down (for the Arizona anyway). Inspiration: image from olsensanonymous.blogspot.com Are you a fan of the Birkenstocks? 

How was your Easter? I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend. :) Here are some pics taken during our annual family Easter lunch... Zara coat, F21 dress, leggings from my mom, Tod's loafers in church :D (The boys were wearing Vans sneakers given by my eldest sister.) Easter Egg Hunt Feast:D Have a great Monday, everyone!

Just thought I'd share with you two new fashion/beauty books I really love: The Craft: DIY Hair and Beauty by Lou Teasdale and Living In Style by Rachel Zoe Different target audience, but I enjoyed both:)  Rachel Zoe's book is filled not only with fashion advice, but also tips on hair &makeup,  house decorating and stuff like how to host a party and travelling. I'm a sucker for this type of books, and Rachel dispenses great advice in my opinion. The book also has gorgeous photos for inspiration. I want this whole setup, guys! Lou Teasdale is the hair and makeup person for One Direction, so I think The Craft is geared for teen-agers (I'm definitely not part of the target audience...ahem....), although there is a short section on tattoos, so I don't know.....I love this book just because it's filled with fun and non-traditional beauty tips. There are also product recommendations for different price points (most are UK products, but...

I've never been to a music festival, but after seeing all the Coachella pics, I was inspired to this hair. Nothing says music fest to me more than hairstyles like the braid...who doesn't love braids, right? Lacoste shirt, Habitual jeans, Vans slip ons with a Bench jacket What is your fave hairstyle?

Everyone here has been busting out the lighter jackets. It is snowing today, however...sigh...but I guess after experiencing -40 °C, anything above -10 is warm for us. PS These pics were taken yesterday when it was actually kinda nice in the morning. old Gap jacket, F21 shirt, Zara jeans, Vans slip-ons Happy Tuesday, guys:)

One of the things I really like to knit are shawls. They're so versatile, aside from being warm and cozy:) Aside from using it as a scarf, a shawl is perfect for when you're in the movies and it gets cold, watching TV at home, reading a book with a warm cup of cocoa, at work and sitting under a vent.... shawl I knitted, H&M shirt, no-name leggings, Converse sneakers What is your fave accessory lately?

So happy that spring is finally here. It's so nice to be able to go out and finally wear some lighter accessories like this scarf:) gifted scarf from a friend, Minecraft shirt from Hot Topic, old pants from Target, old Tods loafers with Danier jacket Have a super Friday, y'all! Any weekend plans?
