The Friday Five: 5 Affordable Party Outfits

| Leave a Reply

Years and years after blogs came into my life, I still read them on a daily basis. I love reading people’s perspectives on food, fashion, travel, and everything in between. That said, some things really do annoy me about some blogs. One of the things that bothers me is that some of my favourite bloggers continuously put together outfits that cost thousands (and thousands) of dollars. And when recent “holiday party outfits” posts featured dresses in the thousands, I thought I should have a look around to see what other party outfits I could find at a more affordable price point.

Here are some of the gems that I found that are under $200CAD and that are good for a variety of occasions this holiday season.

dot minidress, $140.23CAD

ruffled jumpsuit, $178CAD

fit and flare dress, $70CAD

sleeveless dress, $109CAD

sweater dress, $62CAD

Have a great weekend, everyone!

54 Is Just a Number

| 3 Commentaries

My father turns 54 today and, like many people his age, he is constantly complaining about how “he’s getting so old”. Well, I believe that if you live your life to the fullest, acquire many interests, and just enjoy life there is no reason to complain about how old you are.

After all – your age is just a number!

To celebrate my dad’s birthday I’m sharing five things that my dad enjoys.

cigars

Rolex

Ferrari

Pink Floyd – The Wall

Hawaii

Happy birthday Dad!

This month I will be going to Washington, DC for five days. I can’t wait to see all the sites, especially the White House.

I’ll make sure to take a picture just like my mom did in 1984 so that one day my kids can do the same.

Update: Mackenzie is back from her trip to Washington and look – she recreated the photo of her mom. Isn’t it amazing? Like mother, like daughter.
