i leave on a promise of something that shines


I've been wanting this sweater from Club Monaco for awhile but they never seemed to have my size in the grey. As it turns out, I bought a small instead of an extra small because I love the way the loose fit draped on my shoulders; plus it's more comfortable! This is my favourite way to wear it with a lace top underneath so it looks like a one-piece with a lace inset. I like playing with contrast. The soft grey of the top and sleek edge of the liquid leggings create a perfect harmony; at least in my mind. The yellow flower ring was a gift from my mom hence its unknown origin. She said she saw it and thought of me (thanks mom!)

My apologies for being extremely behind on my blog and replying back to all your wonderful comments. I'm definitely going to have to try harder to keep up, esp now that I have a second job at a restaurant (oh the things I do for shoes! lol) I'll have to be better about my time management and priorities. I really appreciate your continuous comments, support, and most importantly your patience; you guys are incredible!

I've had a few comments and emails regarding my makeup so I'm currently working on a makeup post :)

I know I'm not the only one who's had a long week so kick back, relax and enjoy the weekend!

Loose grey knits + liquid leggings + killer heels are my FAVOURITE combo. So comfy yet edgy and chic. I SO wish I'd snatched up those Givenchy look-alikes from Aldo when they had them. They are a beauty! Welcome back and I'm looking forward to that makeup post :)

Welcome back! love the bling on your fingers especially the one your mom gave you, and the index finger one with the little pearls on it. The shoes are incredible too :)

Oh, I'm sorry you had to get a second job Nicole; but shoes are truly a good reason for extra work!! :)

I'm obsessed with the first photograph here - your nails look gorgeous, and the rings are jaw-droppingly beautiful! I imagine that picture will end up on We Heart It soon enough - it is too stunning not to!

Love, love, love your Club Monaco sweater - cozy knits + liquid leggings make for the perfect ensembles!! :)
