Sgt. Pepper

December 23, 2013by Glasses Girl5 Comments

Everyone calls this my Sgt. Pepper jacket. It was one of those items that you see and know you must own. It’s by Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply and I didn’t buy it the first time I saw it. Per usual, I was waiting for it to go on sale. It did, eventually, but then it was sold out everywhere! I dreamed about that jacket. After I had given up I happened to be walking by the department in Macy’s and I saw it. One left and in my size. MINE! Then, after I bought it I waited forever to wear it. I was trying to save said jacket for the perfect occasion, whatever that could have been. Ridiculous. If you own it, wear it! Since we were going out for dinner with friends and it was close to the holidays I figured an outfit gilded with gold wasn’t too over the top. Right?

Military Jacket – Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply (Macy’s)
Gold Coated Jeggings – J Brand (Saks Fifth Avenue)
Booties – Marc By Marc Jacobs (Bloomingdale’s)
Purse – Marc by Marc Jacobs (Bloomingdale’s)

Happy Birthday To Me!

November 23, 2013by Glasses Girl10 Comments

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday. This hasn’t been a fabulous year for me having been diagnosed with breast cancer and having been through all of the things that go along with it. This year my birthday wasn’t about a number. It was about celebrating life with my amazing family. I had my hair done earlier in the day at Sparks to pamper myself a little bit and in the evening we had supper at my mum and dad’s with my family and my husband’s family. Since dinner was at the house it wasn’t fancy, but I wanted to wear something kind of special for my day. I had been waiting for the right evening to wear this amazing ASTR cardigan from Nordstrom Savvy. I love that it’s black and blue — one of my favourite colour combinations — and the fringes are so much fun! I paired it with a simple black silk tee underneath and these amazing J Brand jeans with little holes up the back. While I wanted some height, I didn’t feel it necessary to prance around the house in stilettos so I chose these simple booties with a chunkier heel. They are comfortable and didn’t distract from the rest of the details in the outfit.

Cardigan – ASTR (Nordstrom Savvy)
Tee – Leith (Nordstrom Savvy)
Jeans – J Brand (Neiman Marcus)
Booties – Dolce Vita (Nordstrom)
Bracelet – From Portugal
Ring – I stole it from Mum
Necklace – Orogami (Italy)
Makeup – NARS (Saks Fifth Avenue)

Cheers!

Evening of Emerald

June 24, 2013by Glasses GirlLeave a Comment

Emerald is not usually a colour I wear, but for some reason this caught my eye and filled a void in my closet. The girls in the Savvy department at Nordstrom are so helpful and they’re super nice and fun. I love shopping there! Such cute trendy things at great prices. I wore this outfit out to Saturday supper at a trendy place near my house. We had great food, great wine and a great time!
