It`s still a small event, only in its second year, but I hope it grows to be a bigger event in the next few years.
There are also a very few pics I took of people I met there.. There could have been more, but I forgot to charge my batteries :(

A few Past OUTfits

Hey Lovers.

Here are some laid back outfits from the last few days.

xoxo
Mo

This first outfit, which I wore for a fabric store run, has this interesting piece of clothing that I have named the blaistcoat.  It`s a blouse and waistcoat all in one!!!!!... It made me chuckled but I had to have it... It`s actually not a bad look...LOL



This outfit I wore yesterday when I went to Moncton which is about a 3 hour drive from where I live. I went for a networking shindig for New Brunswick Fashion Week which I am going to be a part of in September.  I must say I was UTTERLY impressed by Moncton... Can`t wait to be out there and really check out the fashion scene. I did change when we got there.. but didn`t take any pics :(

Sunday WATERfront Strolls

Hey Lovers. 

I took a stroll along the waterfront on Sunday. It was SUCH a beautiful day. 
Each time I walk the boardwalk I always find myself a little overwhelmed with gratitude: grateful that I am able to experience this feeling of serenity.  I LOVE this city. It will ALWAYS have a special place in my heart. 
check out some random pics I snapped while strolling + pics of my laid back outfit

BLOCKS of PASTels.

Hey Lovers, 

As posted yesterday I was in the mood for color blocking my outfit for today.. 
I did just that and might even color block tomorrow as well. (but that might change overnight)
I decided to go with pastels. My colors were Salmon, a pinch of Lilac and a gorgeous Turquoise hue.
Hope you like it. 

xoxo
Mo

p.s. as much as I'm LOVING my poetic justice braids, I might have to take em out soon.. I need to have a photo shoot done in the very near future for a feature :)
*ponders those 10 hrs it took me to braid them, my fingers were hurting..lol*

2nd p.s. the shorts were thrifted as well :) they were pants but I cut em

My switch was OFF

Hey Lovers,

Trust that you have had an awesome day today.  
I on the other hand just had an OFF day. 
I mean who in the heck burns boiled eggs and microwave popcorn all in one day???!!?
(yes, I LOVE eggs... nom nom nom)
arrrggghhh.. what an OFF day. 
I just felt under the weather as I had this banging headache but somehow I built up the will power to catch up on the new show Necessary Roughness with Mehcad Brooks.
(and by build up the will power I mean no will power needed, the show had me at Mehcad Brooks)
for those ladies who are hearing about it first here, you are welcome! LOL

ANYWAYS.
an off day means not much to blog about, however, I'm working on some things that I DESPERATELY need to succeed in pulling them off, so PLEASEEE send me some positive vibes and PRAYERS, I will do the same for you.  I will share more in due time. 

ssssankk youuu
much love
mo
p.s. leaving u with a little inspiration I'm pulling from for what I'm hoping to wear tomorrow :)
a little Color Blocking perhaps ;)

D.I.Y - Giving Shoes the Fabric Treatment

Hey Lovers. 

So I have been DYIINNNGG to put some fabric on a pair of shoes I own and have finally done it. 
After I finished making my shoes I felt like I had won some kind of race because all the fabric shoes that came out this summer just couldn't fit me... #thesefeetdontlie
If you try this, please send me some pics of what you do
anyways here goes.

****UPDATE**** I have put a different fabric on these shoes.. see how they look now HERE



1. I opted to glue random pieces onto the shoe instead of creating a pattern for the actual shape of the shoe.
2. I wasn't concerned about fabric dipping onto the platform of the shoe *shrug*
3. have fun with it... it doesn't have to be PERFECT!

 I LOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEE my *NEW* shoes, I can't wait to rock em. *victory is mine* LOL
