OOTWW

If you’re new to my blog, welcome!

Each week I feature an outfit of the work week post showing you what I wore to work every day. It’s become a fairly easy task since I pick out my clothes every Sunday evening and have them ready for the work week in advance. The less thinking in the morning I have to do, the better. Plus it helps me each week to not wear the same outfit too many times. I’ve been known to wear out sweaters pretty quickly from wearing them almost on a daily basis. Eeek! No more of that here.

I didn’t put much thought into my outfits last week for no real good reason. I find it hard to dress for fall (layering) and everything I’m wearing is black. Ugh.

This is my outfit of the work week from October 4th to the 8th. Click the image to enlarge it to see where all of my items are from. You can view my OOTWW archives too. Have a good day all!

Featuring a Canadian designer

I have been reviewing companies websites and items for almost a year now. But before I get started on the next review I wanted to let everyone know that not every company that I come in contact with gets a review. There has been a handful of companies who just didn’t end up providing me with great customer service, therefor I declined to have anything to do with reviewing their items on my website.

So! I only review the best out there! Personally speaking of course.

Nicole Bridger is a Canadian designer who did Fashion Design at Ryerson in Toronto, she now resides in British Columbia and has an amazing selection of luxury casual clothing line which has already been featured in magazines like Elle and Flare. Nicole Bridger has a selection out that has numerous styles of articles of clothing to suit your fall and winter wardrobes. The item that I got to review is from the Fall/Winter 2010 collection. It’s called the Present Top F10 and it also comes in other colors than just the navy that I received.

A few weeks ago while I was at the West Edmonton Mall the sales guy in the store told me (when I was trying some ridiculous bedazzeled $200 jeans) said that the jeans didn’t suit me, as I had a “simple, yet classic” style. Which I guess is mostly true. But I have to say that these garments available on Nicole Bridger’s site would look great on just about anyone. You can easily dress up so many of the times with accessories, or wear them on their own like I did — with a white tee underneath. The shop is literally a modern twist on classic pieces.


I also wanted to talk about the sizing of the clothes. All I did was click on the size chart of any item I was looking at and decide from the list in front of me. The clothing happens to fit very true to size, as you can see for yourself in some of the photos that I have posted above.

Christmas isn’t too far away and I’m already shopping and keeping an eye out for items for friends. If you’re shopping with American dollars, or even with Euro’s and you’re not sure how to convert Canadian dollars into your own – there’s a button on the top of the website that allows you to choose Euros, US, or CAD dollars which I find it a neat little added touch to the whole website.

I’d love to let everyone out there know about the Nicole Bridger store, and how each piece of clothing has a unique tag on it that says ‘I am Love’, so sweet and such a reminder to those who may need a little bit of boost in their day.

See? Up close, it’s on the wrist of my sleeve. What a nice touch!

Here are some of my favorite pieces from Nicole Bridger’s collection:


Clicking on each photo will bring you to the item on the website.

Thanks for the opportunity to blog about your terrific line! It was really great to work with Nicole Bridger, and I wish Nicole the very best of luck in her clothing company.

Anthro (again)

Shapeshifting Sweats Cardi ($88)  which jut happens to be an online exclusive.

Moxie Falls Tee ($78). I think this would pair nicely with some skinny jeans!

Pieces of Falls Top ($88)

Humbled Hydrangea Top ($78)

I wouldn’t be able to ever purchase from this store online. The duty fees (even though there ARE a few anthro stores in Canada now) and shipping, blows the cost out of the water. It’s a bit much, especially when you’re paying that much on an item anyway to begin with!

Do you have a want list? I seem to be adding these all to my virtual online shopping cart and never actually purchasing them. Hmm gee, I wonder why?
