Hope everyone's week is moving along nicely! I've been coming down with a bit of a cold this week, which isn't much of a surprise as it's been a lot of work-work lately!! What was that I said about taking better care of myself this year?! Haha, all is not lost though - I'm planning on kicking my butt & health in gear, and starting a cleanse this week. Wish me luck! I'll be avoiding all animal products, refined flours & sugars, and no wine or cocktails for me. Gasp!! I'm really excited though, I always feel so amazing after a cleanse!
I wore this super cute number just a few days ago when Martin & I went out on a date. We visited our fave local sushi restaurant and I of course indulged in all my favourite "cleanse prohibited" items. Obviously, that's the only way to start a cleanse! We then headed to H&M, and later peeked at a few condo show-rooms; we are very slowly looking for a new home. There is also talk of moving into a loft - I would absolutely love that!! I'm dreaming of converting an area for my photography business, and naturally I would shoot some of my outfit photos there too. Fun!
Not sure if you saw my tweet the other day, but I tweeted about the most adorable "Collar Necklace" DIY tutorial. It's such a fun spin on the collar trend and would look so amazing with any vintage or cocktail dress - love, love!! Lastly, be sure to take a peek at the "Roses for Every Occasion Dress," as both Tieka & I are now featured on the product page of the ModCloth site. Oh boy, I'm kind of demanding today, huh guys?! ;) Wishing you a fantastic Thursday! xo veronika

So adorable! The chain print is definitely unique - I know I haven't seen anything similar before. But it really stands out. Pairing it with the leather jacket and tights was a great way to add a little warmth.
ReplyDeleteI just stumbled across your blog via Selective Potential. And very glad that I did!

I love this dress! The whole outfit is adorable. I've pushed back my "getting healthy" resolution. I start fresh Monday! Good luck with your cleanse. I have been thinking about doing one myself.
ReplyDeleteI love this dress on you! So pretty. That's too bad about your cold, but if you're about to plunge into a cleanse it should clear up soon! Hope you feel better lovely :)
ReplyDeleteAlex xoxo
So what do you typically eat while you're doing a cleanse? I normally focus on fruits & veggies, but I don't like tofu and have a hard time getting protein without animal products. I'd love to hear how you do it!
ReplyDeleteI like that print. I want to move into a loft some day, but I am waiting for the housing market to pick up a little so we can sell our current home.
ReplyDeleteScarf and shoes are great!
ReplyDeleteDoing a cleanse is a good idea, might do one as well!
That dress looks gorgeous on you. I think the cleanse is a great way to start off the year. I think I might just do the same.

That dress is so fun! I love the chain details on it, it really just gives it a quirky touch. SO very cute!

Man, it seems like everyone I know is going on a cleanse this month, makes me think I should jump on the bandwagon... WHen you do a cleanse does your husband join you? I found it tricky because mine won't so it's just me, being all fussy and husband eating whatever he wants :)
ReplyDeletep.s. LOVE that dress on you!
That is a fabulous dress! The rest of the outfit compliments it so well. Hope you feel better soon and good luck with your cleanse!

Such a lovely dress.
ReplyDeleteOhh the print on this dress is so fantastic! And it's so versatile, it looks great with the black tights here but I am sure it will be a success in the summer as well.
ReplyDeleteHow exciting that you guys are slowly looking for a new place. I also would LOVE to live in a loft. With a brick wall and big windows of course.
Hope you'll be feeling better soon! xo

Oh no!!!! Don't get sick!!!! I had powerful bronchitis for 3 weeks and it's still lingering around and I'm still coughing and feeling cruddy! It's going on FIVE weeks! I say forget your cleanse and take a shot of brandy with a cup of tea. You;ll feel better :)

Oh a loft?!!! That is like my dream apt! I hope when you find one you fall in love with it :)
ReplyDeletecheck you out veronika with your printed dress & that fab jacket with the paintings in the background. happy condo hunting! :)
ReplyDeleteI think you're the only person I know who could pull off a bold print like the neon chains on this dress, Veronika. I love that you paired the bright print with unique neutral pieces, like your leather jacket and those gorgeous wedges - I had a pair like them years ago that were my absolute favourite and seeing them in your post made me dream of having them back :) Hope you're feeling better!

I love this dress so much!! How fun! I've never done a cleanse before, but I've always wanted to try one. I used to fast a lot and it really helped with maintaining my weight! xo
ReplyDeleteBoyfriend and I are also looking for a new place and everytime we go see a loft my heart just skips a beat. I love that way of living.
ReplyDeleteAnd last week I started eating healthy again and doing some sports, it feels SO GREAT. Funny how these little things make a big change. Good luck anyway. xo
You look super duper gorgeous girl! I love this date outfit so much! Yay on house hunting! I'm sure it will go smoothly as long as you keep calm with the real-estate agents. There can be some weirdos out there, haha!
ReplyDeleteI want to do a cleanse too but I'm not sure where to start? Actually, I have an idea. Googling! Hahah.

lovely dress! It suits you so well and I love the combo with the jacket and scarf, gives it a little edge! I saw the necklace tutorial as well and am in love with it. Definitely need to try it out!!
ReplyDeleteyou look beautiful! How is your hair always so perfect? I have had my eye on those wedges for so long, I can't wait to get them!
ReplyDeleteI really love the pattern on this dress with the colors. Good luck with the detox. I'm always working a bit on something like that to try and boost my health and really feel like I can tackle life. I've found King Chlorella is great for it. It helps nuture the body, gives you an energy boost and helps support the liver to get rid of toxins (including any nasty cold germs your body might be trying to work out). Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteI love the print. It's so bold.
ReplyDeleteAmazing dress!

V! My love! How are you?? Ok, first of all, sushi and shopping? Perfection in a date. And the perfect date outfit to go along with it! Omgosh, did I tell you already that I'm taking up knitting! I managed a scarf and the world didn't end, so I'm venturing onward to a cowl. I love the one you're rocking. Are you guys hoping to stay in the same area if you move? Excitement! Ok, enough of me. Happy weekending! xx Nat

Love how you wore your leather jacket. Very fun. I have always been afraid to do a cleanse. Not sure why but it scares me. Let me know how it works out for you. Maybe some day I will get over my fear and just go for it.
ReplyDeleteThat dress is super cute! And yes you must indulge in cleanse prohibited foods before you cleanse! Good luck in your health and fitness goals!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your dress!
ReplyDeleteAnd thank you so much for you comment, as well. Hope you're having a wonderful weekend.
I really love the unique print on your dress. It looks great on you. That jacket is fantastic too!
ReplyDeletegreat dress!
ReplyDeleteAdoable dress! Love that print, and love that it's so colorful.
ReplyDeleteI am SO thinking about starting a cleanse round myself too. But I am weak when it comes to bread and fried food. Doh.. :(
Are you moving? Wow! Where? Is it the same city, just chaning a place?
This dress is so gorgeous and different. I love unique pieces like this, and the jacket goes well with it.

ReplyDeleteWhat fun print and colors on this dress! That's so exciting you're looking for a new place- good luck w/ it all! Hope the cleanse is going well, I'd love to hear more details about what you're doing on it, one of my resolutions was certainly to take better care of myself too & I really haven't, so you're not alone hehe. Take care & rest up : )

Such a fantastic print on that dress-love it!
ReplyDeleteCondo hunting is really tough. We spent months looking online for the right place until we found something we liked-and bought the first place we found! We did end up compromising though, and buying an older place and gutting it to be in the area we wanted rather than a brand new place.
Just be careful with lofts if you or your husband are light sleepers! A few of my friends have lived in lofts with open bedrooms and it was tough if someone wanted to stay up late/have friends over/etc. It isn't much different than living in a studio in terms of noise.
Oh wow! The print on that dress is phenomenal. You are gorgeous darling!
