1 Easy Trick to Liven Up a Basic Work Blouse

Blouse // Pants // Similar Flats // Similar Handbag // Similar Earrings (1), (2), (3) // Lipstick- in "pink pearl pop"

 

Do you like my embellished collar shirt? Embellishments are everywhere this season, and are a great way to add some more glamour to a basic work look. Instead of spending money on yet another blouse, you can achieve this look with a little DIY!

This embellished shirt is actually a plain shirt which I have added a pair of stud earrings to. You can attach any pair of stud earrings to your collar (the bigger the better though) to temporarily give yourself an embellished shirt. I love this trick and have done it with so many of my collared shirts.

I purchased the pants you see here from Old Navy online a few weeks back. I used the EBates program I have mentioned to you before. Seriously, it is the easiest way to get a bit of extra cash. You get money back from purchases you'd be making anyway! I've now received two cheques from EBates and I love it! There is no "catch" and no cost to sign up. You can sign up here.

I've been working on updating my apartment for spring this week, and it has been a bit more of an undertaking than I expected! I bought a beautiful piece of art work (you can see it in this post) but the actual wooden frame is crooked and it's driving me crazy! Any brilliant ideas for how to fix it would be much appreciated! Have a great weekend everyone.

Recent Snapshots

Kate Spade Bow Dress (in white)

Happy Easter Monday everyone! I hope you are all having a great long weekend! For today's post I wanted to share a round up of recent snapshots I've taken. Some of which I have posted to instagram (as you'll see below) others of which have just been sitting around on my phone.

I hope you enjoy this little peek into my life (...or at least my life according to my iPhone haha). Scroll through for more photos and to read about what's been going on with me lately.

First, I have to tell you about the Kate Spade dress pictured above. I found this dress yesterday at Winners! It was the *BEST* find, I couldn't even believe it! This beauty was marked down to $78 (from a full KS price of $428). Such a score, I am still on a shopping high haha.

How cute is this little nugget?! That yawn is everything... and really captures how I feel right now, haha.

I posted this photo on my instagram as part of the #KissandMakeupCampaign. This is a campaign that was organized to raise awareness about cyber-bullying. I truly believe that social media can be used for SUCH good things.. but we have to work on that. If you are reading this, take a moment to go spread some cyber-love to someone on social media today! Reach out and tell someone how awesome they are. That is what we should see more of in the world <3.

One of my favorite Vancouver coffee shops to go to catch up with my blogger girlfriends is called Faubourg. These macarons are delicious; the lavender is a hands down my personal favorite.

I have been going a little nuts with nature photos lately. My city is just so breathtakingly beautiful in the spring! I took this shot yesterday while strolling around Commercial Drive with some friends. 

Dress

 

This was a brunch outfit from last week. I love this dress and was majorly swooning over those cream roses.

Necklace // Turtleneck

A random work week selfie. I took this to remind myself to remember to wear statement necklaces with turtlenecks. Anyone else take fashion selfies to remember thing!? Please tell me I'm not the only one haha.

I posted this bunny photo on instagram yesterday. Check out my instagram post to read something pretty darn ridiculous about it. 

New spring art work in my apartment. I fell in love with this painting the moment I saw it.
