Affordable Friday Pt. 3...

That's right folks...

This feature is back, and back with a vengeance. For those of you who don't remember, Affordable Friday is when I give you a look at my favourite items that cost less than $100. Usually, I only show five but since it's been so long since my last one of these (not since last may!) I decided that you've earned a little extra... for being so patient with my annoying lack of work effort on the blog. I really do love you.

(Ps. I know this week's theme isn't really appropriate for the weather but spring is coming damn it! And it's coming soon.)



This Week's Theme: Funny, Sunny Little Honey
(Click the link to get your own)


Item 1

Where: ModCloth
Price: $89.99
Why: I love things that tie at the shoulder like this, I think it's very sexy. I like the wrap style of the bodice because it's super flattering, on everyone! Add the polka-dot print and the pretty coral/pink color and you've got yourself a winner. Pair it with a white pointelle cardi and some cat faced flats and you're ready to go.

Item 2

Where: ModCloth
Price: $37.99
Why: It's all about the print. It's so much like the Orla Kiely one from last summer. I adore the color and it's easy fit would be perfect with say... the shorts below.

Item 3

Where: ModCloth
Price: $39.99
Why: I ADORE the bow waist band! Add the polka-dots and the color... yikes! Pair these bad-boys with the ship blouse above, you're trusty cat flats and a white flower statement necklace. How amazingly summer chic does that sound? Plus only the coolest girls do pattern on pattern.

Item 4

Where: ModCloth
Price: $44.99
Why: Isn't this amazing? I love bags that are shaped like things, I think that may be where my obsession with Kate Spade started. This bag is soo Kate Spade. I imagine it with the pretty new white shorts Orla Kiely's showing for summer and my Charlotte Olympia's and a pretty pink blouse. Take this principal and apply to you're own summer whites.

Item 5

Where: ModCloth
Price: $29.99
Why: I like the asymmetrical sandal. Once more you can blame Parker Posey for it. And do I ever turn down one of my favourite styles in minty hues? Never!

Item 6

Where: ModCloth
Price: $54.99
Why: How adorable is this? It reminds me of the movie 'The Boat That Rocked/Pirate Radio' I can totally imagine lounging by the pool, rocking 'Sunny Afternoon' by The Kinks and drinking lemonade. This little guy plugs into your smart phone or i-pod and has a special rubber seal to stop anything from getting inside... plus... it's so pretty.

What A Life I Lead In The Summer, What A Life I Lead In The Spring...

Hello!

Today is in my opinion, the first day of fall. Every year on the first day of September, I begin to wear my fall clothes. It's my favourite day of the year... well, one of them anyway. Tuesday is my first day back to work and I couldn't be more excited. I know I was a little bummed about it last week but it's was only because I was sad to be leaving my family. Now that I'm here with my wardrobe freshly redone and my new curriculum sitting on my desk, I'm really excited. Below you will find the last  outfit of the summer from yesterday as well as today's first outfit of fall. Is anyone else as excited as I am for fall?
-Bea

(Ps. What do you think of the new look? I'm really happy with the way this season's theme turned out.)

What I'm Listening To:
