The Ballerina Tribe II

Happy Ryan Jorgensen's Day!

Today I wore a sweet dress for my boyfriend's birthday =).

• Printed dress - Monopole made in Korea (approx. $50CAD)
• Cropped cardigan - H&M ($15CAD)
• Brown satchel - street shopping in S.Korea
• Cream oxfords - street shopping in S. Korea
• Black pantyhose - Dollarama ($1CAD)

Haha, my bun was being REDICulous today.  I really need a haircut =P.  I hope everyone had a wonderful St. Patrick's Day (if you celebrate it in the country that you live in).  I've never celebrated the event, but there were a lot of drunk people in green today!  Instead, I took my boyfriend for a picnic lunch in the park =).  Because I speak of him often, and he takes all of my wonderful outdoor photos, I thought I'd post a photo of him...

My handsome Ryan <3.  Hehe, I hope he doesn't mind.

If you have an iPhone & Instagram, follow me!  @thelittledandy =).  Many more pictures of everyday life there!

Artsy Day

The weather was amazing out today!  14degrees celsius!  Unfortunately,  I stayed in all day like a fool which means I was in my pyjamas all day long!  I'll let you in on a little secret...I'm unemployed!  Haha (oh the sadness...it cuts deep into my soul).  I recently left a job and came home to refocus myself and what I want to do.  And with that, I've been spending my days looking for jobs, drawing and blogging =).  But to not bore you all to death, I did do something productive today!  I drew!  I'm not completely happy with how it turned out, but all I wanted to do was try drawing some fur.  I love fur-collared jackets!  I have a cute green one, but its not thick enough to wear in the winter.  Its more of a Fall/early Spring type.  Maybe I'll take it for a walk in the coming weeks =).

Thank you all for such wonderful comments and for following!  It makes me so happy =).

Peggy Bundy, You've Inspired Me

*Note the different frame border I used!  I'm gonna get to this!

Today I was having a bit of a Peggy Bundy kind of day!

• Denim button up - the Boyfriend's <3
• Leopard print cami - street shopping in S. Korea (approx. $5CAD)
• Winter leggings in Black - American Apparel
• Black flats - American Apparel
• Black & gold belt - Vintage (used to be my mom's...probably from when she was channeling Peggy Bundy...but for real. Haha.)
• Red leather wallet - Vintage Jordache (used to be my mom's)

I loved wearing this outfit today.  It felt fun, but also super relaxed (this could've had something to do with the fact that I slept in those tights...hmm).  I didn't actually wear the flats outside though.  It's still a little too cold for that in Canada-land.  Boohoo.

Anyway, have ya'll been able to tell that I keep messing around with how this blog looks??  I'm starting to feel like posting my pictures with the round-edged corners is starting to look a bit messy...hmm.  For this reason, I posted the first picture with solid straight edges.  What do you think?  Let me know!

IN OTHER NEWS:

Look what finally came in the mail for me today!!

It's a cheap (but terribly cute!!) copy of the YSL Arty Ring.  The most blogged about ring of the past year.  Now, I am totally...TOTALLY against buying fakes and replicas, but I wanted the ring so so badly, and I love the shape and design so much!  These retail for about $300CAD on the YSL website, and I just can't afford that right now.  So, in short, I gave in to searching for a replica online, and my wonderful boyfriend ordered it for me =).  This ring only cost him $13AUD plus $10AUD shipping (around $25CAD).  I love it so much!  The colour is perfect, and it suits my skin tone perfectly!  I don't feel so bad because YSL doesn't actually make the ring in this colour (it's actually a more lighter pink than it seems like in this picture).  HOWEVER!  I promise -- I promise so hard that I will buy the real YSL Arty Ring as soon as I can afford to!  In a dark green mayhaps... 

Check out the real YSL Arty Rings here.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday!

Style Illustrated

After being a bit lazy with drawing, I decided to be productive today!  I love this look.  It is one of my favourites, which is why I drew it.  I love cute buns, twist scarves, chunky scarves and a good bag.  I hope you all like it, too!

I get a lot of my style illustration ideas from real people!  I have an entire library of photos from style blogs that I've saved because they are looks that I absolutely adore!  And the ones that I love the most?  I usually end up drawing them!  Just thought you'd like to know =).

On another note, I'm so happy I started this blog.  Everyone has been so nice and leaving wonderful comments about how much they like the blog so far!  Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!  I'm just so glad you all find the things I find dandy...dandy, too!
