A Day at the Races

Dress - Also similar: here // Hat c/o // Heels // Bracelet // Lipstick

I wore this outfit this past weekend for the Deighton Cup - an annual horse racing event here in Vancouver. I was really excited to finally have an opportunity to wear this Kate Spade dress I got a few months back. The mint color is even prettier in person! I think it would be a perfect dress for a fancy brunch or bridal shower.

I decided to add this gorgeous hat by MARIA CURCIC MILLINERY to the outfit because, honestly, how many occasions do you have to get dress up and wear a hat!? I loved getting to wear it! One thing that is really cool about MARIA CURCIC MILLINERY is that they have a hat rental program so that (if you are local) you can rent hats for events instead of buying. Such a great way to accessorize for a fancy event without a commitment. 

This week has been a whirlwind so far! Monday & Tuesday I was on vacation with my best friend and goddaughters (follow my twitter to see some hilarious fashion related tweets courtesy of my 7 year old god daughter!! haha) and so Wednesday & Thursday were nuts at work. Today should be equally crazy, but, at least it's a Friday! Plus we are FINALLY getting some sunshine & summer weather here in Vancouver!

E-Shakti Review & Store Gift Cards!

Monday mornings are rough (how did the weekend go by so quickly?!) so I thought for today's post I'd bring you a little cheer by giving you a coupon for $35 of store credit at eShakti!!! There is no "catch" in terms of a spending minimum, you just get $35 of credit that can be used anytime in the next 2 weeks! (see bottom of this post for the coupon)

You may remember the above photos from this post. I got this eShakti dress in the fall and absolutely love it! eShakti is an online 'customizable' store, which is really cool. For the above dress I was able to select the neckline, sleeve length and length of the dress! I was wary of what the quality would be like (a risk of these online boutiques) but I was pleasantly surprised. The fabric is good quality and the actual stitching is well done.

eShakti recently revamped their store, adding new product categories such as jumpsuits and shorts. I really like a number of their new items; but below are my personal favourites.

Red Cotton Dress  Cotton Eyelet Dress   Flamingo Print Dress
 

Peplum Wrap Top      Tropical Print Dress      Scallop Shorts
