Awesome Style Blogs

As most of the people who know me will attest (especially my husband), I have a small obsession with clothes, shoes and accessories of all kinds. However, since I have reached maximum capacity in my closet, I have decided to work on remixing my wardrobe instead of just buying a bunch of new stuff.

Therefore, I have been looking for tricks and hints for the remix and stumbled across these great style blogs that have helped so much!

Putting Me Together: this blog is created by the awesome Audrey who always has something interesting to say about the remix. The greatest things about this blog are 1) she tells you where all of here clothes can be found, 2) they are usually budget or mid-range-price stores, and 3) her photos and comparisons are amazing. It always gets me thinking about how I can do the same things with my pieces. Check them out here: Putting Me Together

Go Chic or Go Home:  I just discovered this one today and I think it is going to be my new guilty pleasure (sorry Pinterest)! This blog / community / shopping tool allows you to not only see others style and share your own, it also allows you to upload images of your entire wardrobe, categorize them (color, season, etc), remix them on the site, and also upload items that you are considering purchasing (they link directly to retailers so you can buy online) right into your digital wardrobe to see how you can combine them before even buying them! The programmers behind this site are genius and I would like to thank them for coming up with this brilliant idea. Check them out here: GCOGH

Yay style - you always make me happy :)

Life Right Now!

There are just so many things going right in life right now - let me just share a few:

Trip to Vancouver - oh Vancouver, I have been missing you lately. Mostly the walkability of your lovely downtown. But lucky me, I get to visit you with my parents thanks to a dance competition for Kayla! I will be walking around with my Starbucks in hand, visiting my favourite shops and taking a quick jaunt to Granville Island to pick up some of the best BBQ Sauce EVER - Rockin' Moroccan! Love it!

New House - we will be moving into our new house starting October 1! Although I am not necessarily looking forward to the job of packing and the actual move, I am so excited to finally be in a house where I think I will be living for a while - stay tuned for pics!

DMA Conference in Las Vegas - thank you Direct Marketing Association for hosting this conference in Las Vegas! It will be my first trip there and I am super looking forward to it. If anyone has any must-do's while I am there, please let me know :)

I'm on a Boat - this year my parents decided to get us all a Disney Cruise for Christmas - awesome! I am so excited I can't even explain! So we are going to be on a fabulous Disney Cruise ship, decorated to the nines, for Christmas. Although I will miss our tradition of Boxing Day shopping at West Edmonton Mall (which we have done every year since Ryan and I have been together), I think that I can manage in order to check this one big one off my bucket list!

I'm so excited for everything I can't even focus on one :) Life is great.
