Morning Glory in Gray






I am not a morning person.. but.. I so love an early morning when I can have toasted (plain) English muffins with strawberry jam and butter which I then proceed to "dunk" into my Mocha café. I love waking up early to go to Disney world, pulling on sweats for class, warm chocolate croissants, watching MTV with breakfast, staying in bed with a really good song on my iPod, today's was "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay haha! Here's to those wonderful gray early mornings.

Raglan: American Apparel. Necklace: forever 21. Shorts: diy cut offs from Blue Cult.Tights: Urban Outfitters. Boots: Minnetonka.

Happy Friday!


Sweety, my monochromatic little puppy, stops to say hello. =]

Hi baby, I love you in minnetonka boots. You're one of those girls who can really pull off them. I have two boots that I can never seem to pair an oufit with, but seeing you look all hot in them it gives me the motivation. Loving the outfit, love you.

Ohhh god, I'm such a fan of Poladroid, it's just the funniest invention ever !
You're gotta have loooots of poladroid-ed stuff on R-V xD !

And Viva la vida... I love that song, and ' Violet Hill '... and... well I just love Coldplay !

Hugs dear!

issa said...

i'd have to say i'm not so much the morning person either.. i so need that raglan!!

and sweety is so kute!

rossovelvet said...

Well, it's extremely well done anyway :D.
I installed Poladroid on my mum's Mac and it seems to work pretty good !

R-V is my blog, I'm sorry for the pavlovian reflex, my former ( and actual ) blog is rosso-velvet so it's R-V for everyone ! :D

Thanks again !

cute necklace. cute doggy. gorgeous sweater!

Jennifer said...

Great outfit for a compfortable casual day! Love the necklace and sweety and you!!

Lissa said...

What a cute monocromatic puppy! Actually, you puppy is achromatic too! I learned that in art class today.

And Stardust's real name is Cameron--but we should call her Cam because that's more hobo like.

Sing-me-songs said...

Hey funny I bought a pair like yesterday ! Love them too ! xx Have a nice WE !

SJ said...

Ooooooh, cute necklace!! And an even cuter puppy! :)

Gosh, Erika. Tell me, why why why are you so good-looking in every outfit? ♥

Jeffrey Byrnes said...

Love the retro look in some of the photos.

Jeff

Stephanie said...

LOVE your shorts. and your puppy!
<3

I want to wear my cut-offs with my ripped tights but I post outfits I wear to work and I haven't quite rationed whether or not it's acceptable- even if it is a magazine- to wear ripped tights to the office...so perhaps ill pull them on for a weekend post!

Oh and for the shredding- i make a small initial hole with nail clippers and then I Riiiiipppppp! lol! until its as wide as it is long! buy the cheap ones from the pharmacie- theyre perfect for shredding in consistency and price point ;-)

Tina :) said...

I love this look! The slouchy oversized top looks so chic with the shorts and tights.

What a cute puppy! :]
I love your header too.

-Tina

P.S. I'm finally back on the "blogosphere" - new updates on my blog!

Natalië said...

gray mornings and cups of tea.

saray said...

love your new header

C.B. said...

Sweetie is too big noow!!

I don't like early mornings... but sometimes... they're just perfect!

I love those boots!

Emily said...

that raglan top looks stellar on you. i love the look, but i've never been able to pull it off. have a fabulous weekend! xxx

karl's sweet child said...

I loooooove this outfit.. This's the type of outfit I would wear all day long and your puppy..OMG!

leflassh. said...

this is super awesome.
it is also very "ME"
i adore shorts and tights
and those minnetonkas are great.

♥ fashion chalet said...

@ Sonia-Fashionbox - yes about the necklace, and I will tell her HI from you, thank youuuuu =]

@SJ - hey, sweets! YOU FLATTER ME SO! thank you darling for those emails, too. =]

Stephanie said...

I can't believe your pharmacie doesn't have the full length ones! Try another pharmacie as I'm sure they sell them- my mom's the one who introduced to me to pharmacie nylons after a trip to the US.

Otherwise try Claire's. We have a store called Ardène here that's like it and they sell tights and if not H&M sells them as well- $5 a pair which really isn't expensive. And if not any of the above, try stores like Walmart? maybe!

keep me posted lady ;-)

Anonymous said...

You see when you wear comfortable clothes you inspire us all and me to try a way of reinventing it to be chic. HELLO BOOTS! =)

♥ fashion chalet said...

@ Anonymous 10:47 - hey that's quite nice to read (and hear) thank you. :]

Get these boots, I promise you that they are so incredibly comfortable which is the best part next to their cool look<3

Stephanie said...

thank you so much lady! Honestly, that comment means a lot to me as I'm just trying it out you know, and I really just hope I can really hone my skill and bring to my readers something that they can relate to and that they want to see.

I've always loved photography but I never took any classes- my step-grandparents are the pros, they've traveled to the smallest villages on earth to take pictures- their house is a museum- literally. They even have big ties with the Montreal Museum of fine arts. anyways, kinda off-topic, but I always admired their work and would love to one day be able to say that I just have a natural knack for photographing people- i do candid shots. its what I love. And i can't take landscape pictures to save my life! lol!

I plan to take loads more in the spring, cause here in the spring pple really pull out all the stops being that were so bundled up 5 months out of the year!

<3 xx

Lissa said...

Okay so achromatic is like a black and white color scheme. Like monochromatic except without a color like red or blue. And since your baby is black and white, she's achromatic (if you want to be all technical and such).

And Cam is perfection, I agree. But I've decided to reply to the Hobo Clan comments right away, and leave the other ones for later. I miss you both too much when I go MIA. And I'll try to keep outfit posting--I just get too lazy to change back into clothes after dance. But I'll try really hard!

Suzanne said...

I love this ensemble. It's very chill but it's also very trendy, and shows of your lovely personality. :) I particularly enjoy those boots and the necklace. V V cute!

hrose said...

gray mornings are the best kind of morning! they're the ones where you can lounge around doing nothing, sipping tea, listening to music, idly perusing a magazine. i love your gray morning gray outfit, especially the jumper which looks so cosy! and the boots too... ah boots. the perfect pair still eludes me, but i'm keeping on keeping and searching until it kills me haha..

XXX

ps. love the header!

jamie clare said...

=]

i like the ensemble! boots with tights are a great look when done right,and you nailed it. i'm a huge fan of 'seasonless' dressing.
other than swimsuits and parkas, which clearly can only be worn in their respective seasons.

<3

DaisyChain said...

I really wish I could pull of this kind of outfit. You truly are my number one inspiration for outfits. We'll be pretty lethal when we eventually meet up. I will reserve top table at Bella Italia!

Give Sweety a cuddle from me! x

syd vicious said...

Cute puppy! And cute outfit :)

Rosanna said...

can you tell me the name?

Cate said...

Oh, I love that red heart necklace against the gray sweater! And the black/white/sepia photo is so beautiful!
And you know how much I love black tights...
I'm not a morning person either. I hate everyone in the mornings, especially people with an exceptionally good mood. Toasted English muffins could appease me, though.
Viva La Vida is one of my favourite songs.
Love, Cate

Laroux said...

Very exciting, I want to steal them! Also, your dog is gorgeous!

Lissa said...

We shall hobo in our fake furs, dresses, and coffees. I find it so ironic that you got a small, I really hope I don't drown in my medium! So yes, that means it did go through. At least I'm still getting the dresses, right?

JW said...

Love the boots! They look gorgeous on you! :)

Rumi said...

Hiii, love the Minnetonkas! To answer your question, they just emailed me a couple weeeks ago ;)

You have superb skills for making casual clothing look really chic! I dont know how to put it in words exactly-- but its the way you carry clothes.. :-) gah, i need to unfreeze my brain so that I could further expound on this.. hehe..

Love the necklace with that heather gray sweatshirt!

Oh your outfit looks so chic and comfy (and I love chic AND comfy, because it seems like a lot of times chic comes without the comfy! haha) And wow, I was like, "Go to Disney World!?" and then I realized you live in FL, so I guess it's convenient to go to Disney World on any given morning! :)

Tell Sweety, I say "hi!" back!

Anyway, it's been so long (stupid computer virus!), how have you been? :)

And oh yes, please do remind me about those shoe pictures, I have issues forgetting, as I think I said before! :P

Take care!
