Weekly OOTDs: Summer 1

Hi ALL!  I know I've been away for about a month, but life HAPPENS!  To make up for it, here's a real treat for ya:  VIDEO!

The Floral Blouse (...and the leather satchel).

Mint & Dandy Bows

The Colour Pink!

Flowers, Lace, Bows & Things

Today's outfit of all things girly...

I'm Floral

Today my floral self...

Thank You Everyone!

You all remember the pink pants, don't you?  How could you not--it was only 2 posts ago! Hehe.  That same day, my boyfriend took some photos for me at the park =).  I really wanted to post them because I was wearing my favourite cardigan of all time.  Really, though,...of ALL TIME!

ENJOY!

I bought this sweater during a midnight shopping adventure in Seoul, Korea.  It was amongst one of the LAST things I bought from that beautiful shopping dreamland of a country.  Literally, it was the NIGHT before my flight, and I decided I just HAD to go shopping, haha.  I call this my 'flying squirrel' or 'bat' cardigan =).

• Grey cardigan - street shopping in S. Korea (approx. $40CAD)

Speaking of flying squirrels and things...

Hehehe, these make me laugh.

I've been having a rather low-key Sunday.  The weather outside is beautiful, and I can hear kids screaming at each other haha, but I wanted to stay in and catch up on replying to comments and updating the blog!  I think I'm gonna do a DIY tonight.  I have a pile of clothes in my room that need...renewal, hehe.

Anyway, I wanted to thank all of you!  All of my wonderful followers!  The blogging community amazes me.  Everyone is so kind and welcoming.  It really makes me smile when others appreciate the things that I love!  Ah, LOVE!  Anyway...I'm thinking about doing a giveaway in the very NEAR future.  Stay tuned!!

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!

Bright Friday!

Today's bright ensemble, if you will...

• Cream cami - Forever21
• Cream cashmere tee - Club Monaco
• Coral pink skinny pants - Aerie (only $20CAD on sale!!)
• Navy suede espadrilles - Club Monaco (third party item, $15CAD on sale!)
• Brown croc bag - Vintage (around $6CAD)

I was also wearing my gold Casio calculator watch, and an oversized grey cardigan later on when it was getting cooler at night.  My boyfriend took a few outdoor pictures, so I might post them tomorrow =).

I bought these pants yesterday for only $20!  Their original retail price was $49.99CAD, but they were on sale for $29.99CAD and then an additional 30% off!  A steal!  I'm not sure whether to call them jeans or just pants because they aren't made of denim, and they are rather thin.  Anywhoo, the weather was absolutely lovely today!  21degrees (celsius)!!  I remember this time last year I was still wearing my winter coat!  

In other news, it's my darling boyfriend's birthday tomorrow!  And yes, his birthday is on St. Patrick's Day.  I've been busy baking up a storm =).  Am I lame for staying in on a Friday night?  ...I don't think so.  I do it all the time =P.

Sweet Outfit

Before I go on about what I wore today, I have to show all of you why I wore what I wore.  I love sweets.  I love cupcakes.  I love vanilla.  I love icing.  Most of all, I love confetti/rainbow chip cake!  I think its so cute and such a treat!  That being said, I came across this photo of nails on tumblr...

Sweets to the Sweet nail polish by Lynnderella.  I love it!!  I think I'm gonna try this look on my nails using white & glitter polish!

Anyway, this is what inspired my outfit today.  To satisfy my outfit sweet tooth...I bring you...the photos.

Today's sweet outfit...

• Rainbow chip sweater - Kosney (store in Korea approx. $25CAD)
• Taryn tank in cream - Club Monaco
• Dark denim skinnies - H&M ($25CAD)
• Black mary-jane flats - Kimchi & Blue from Urban Outfitters ($20CAD on sale last year!)
• Camel motorcycle bag - street shopping in S. Korea (approx. $30CAD)

This sweater and this bag.  They are are probably among my favourite things that I've bought from all my shopping escapades in Korea.  I fell in love with this bag when I saw it because it looks very similar to a YSL Besace Flap bag (which I have wanted so badly for years!).  This one is made with the softest faux leather I've ever touched.

Anyway, I should probably invest in a steamer...as my sweater is wrinkled from being folded...or perhaps I should remember to hang things in a closet =P.

OH!!  And did you all notice a drastic change in my posting?? Photos!  Real photos!  I got a new tripod =), and took these with my little Canon Elph.  Hope you all like the new look of the blog.  The Little Dandy is EVOLVING!

Today's Running-Errands-Outfit

From Instagram...

Today's outfit was all about comfort as I was walking a lot and running some errands.

• Navy blue spring jacket - H&M ($20CAD on sale at the end of the season last year!)
• Grey waffled cardigan/wrap - Joe Fresh ($15CAD on sale!)
• Floral T-shirt - Street shopping in Seoul (approx. $15CAD)
• Black skinny jeans - JBrand
• Orange socks - Forever21
• Cream oxford shoes - Street shopping in Seoul (approx. $20CAD)
• Brown tote - Long Champ (A gift from one of my sisters)
• Gold magnifying glass necklace - H&M ($7CAD)

I don't usually use this bag unless I'm running errands/have to carry a lot of things to go somewhere.  It's the type of bag that I don't think anyone should ever use as their everyday purse/bag/what have you.  I see a lot (and I mean A LOT) of girls using their Long Champ bags as purses or school bags.  If you ask me, I think you can carry around your everyday essentials in something a little more tasteful.  This Long Champ tote cannot possibly go with every outfit in your life!  That being said, I use mine when I'm travelling, or carrying items that are 8"x10" or larger (i.e.: important documents, macbook, etc).

Anyway!  I do apologize for not posting yesterday!  It was crazy rainy all day so I looked like a drowned rat, AND I was busy busy running around the city looking for jobs and such.  Fingers crossed that I'll hear back from somewhere soon!  On another note, thank you all for the wonderful comments, and welcome to all my new followers!  And if you are here for the first time, don't hesitate to leave a comment, and please do follow!  I follow everyone back =).

The weather has been fantastic, and SPRING IS FINALLY HERE!  OFFICIALLY!  This makes me smile.  Hope everyone has had reasons to smile lately, too =).

Sunday Best

My boyfriend took some photos with his DSLR, but then the battery ran out!  These are the only 3 shots we got =P.  So then we proceeded to use my iPhone =).

These photos are from my Instagram...again =P.  

Today I felt like I was wearing my Sunday Best!  And the weather was gorgeous!

• Mustard dress with lace collar - street shopping in S. Korea (approx. $15CAD)
• Navy cardigan - thrifted ($5CAD)
• Black stockings - Dollarama!!  Haha..I have no shame ($1CAD)
• Black flats - BDG from Urban Outfitters ($15CAD)
• Navy coat - UGIZ (Korean brand approx. $160CAD)
• Brown leather 'Jane Frame Bag' - Club Monaco Spring 2012 ($250CAD)

*click the photos for a better view! =)

Friday!

Today...

• Red wool cardigan - Joe Fresh
• Leopard print tank - Forever21
• Black skinny jeans - JBrand
• Brown boots - street shopping in S. Korea
• Brown croc bag - vintage <3

What a terrible picture.  I DO have great news though!  I've bought a tripod!  I promise this is the last terrible outfit post!  I'm going to start posting outfit photos in a more proper manner soon! =).  In other great news...

I've reached 100 followers!

Thank you so much everyone.  The Little Dandy has been on blogger for just a little over two weeks!  This makes me happy =).  I'll keep doing what I'm doing, and I hope you will all continue to enjoy the posts to come =).  

Today's Accessories...

• Beaded bracelet - Vintage
• Metal bracelets - street shopping in S. Korea
• Brown leather watch - Casio (from American Apparel)
• Gold bands (rings) - H&M
• Gold cameo ring - Vintage

I didn't end up wearing the arty ring today because it was just too much.  I wanted to keep it pretty and simple.  Today I also went thrifting and bought a bee-yooootiful wallet!  I'll post all my recent vintage finds tomorrow =).

Speaking of tomorrow, a new Forever21 is opening up in the city that I live in, and its the first one!  Till now, the closest Forever21 store was in a city 2hours north (Toronto, ON).  They are giving out $21 gift cards to the first 300 customers!  My boyfriend is going to come with me to line up tomorrow morning,  hehe.  It's only $21, but Forever21 is so cheap I'm sure I'll be able to pick up something nice!  I'll post about it tomorrow if I end up getting a card.  Now, then...off to bed!

Hope everyone is having a lovely Friday night.
