leopard print & pink

Pants- Gap (Thrifted); Blouse- Zara; Shoes & Belt- Thrifted; Bracelet- Persona (Gifted); Nail Polish- Portobello Pink by Rimmel

 Monday, the start to another week and time to link up to Inspiration Monday over at two birds' and Thrifters Anonymous over at Colour Blind! I'm currently blogging from the beautiful Manoir Richelieu, about an hour outside of Quebec city where the man is attending a tech conference and I'm enjoying some down time (and by that I mean working remotely as I'm not the best at r&r).  He met me on his lunch break to take these photos as we walked around the grounds.  It's getting a bit cold for open toed shoes but I hadn't worn these embellished sling backs in a while so I figured they would make one last appearance before Canada's winter shows its ugly self.

High School Musical actress Vanessa Hudgens is this week's celebrity inspiration.

This outfit makes me feel confident, visible and alive so I'm linking up to Not Dead Yet Style's Visible Mondays!

I'm also linking up to the Blogging for Breast Cancer Awearness challenge hosted by A Working Mom's Closet. Fortunately no one close to me has been diagnosed with breast cancer but I worked previously at the Cancer Centre entering data on clinical trials and was exposed to the prevalence of breast cancer among both women and men and its impact on loved ones.  When rooting through my closet I realized I don't own very many pink pieces so made do with what I had (these pale pink trousers, coral pink belt and of course hot pink nails!)



I may not love the colder weather but one of my favourite things about autumn is the brightly coloured foliage and falling leaves!

    LOVE this! The pink with the leopard is fantastic. Leopard goes with everything, it's amazing. Great job!

    I'm wearing pink this month too. Nobody close to me has been diagnosed either but I just wanted to increase awareness.

    Very cute outfit. I just ordered a leopard shirt from Nordstrom. I hope it's as cute as yours from Zara! I really like it with those pink pants. The outdoor shots are really great.

    I like this outfit a lot... It looks so professional but also girly and sweet-- I think it's really the pink trousers that do it! Love them!

    Very nice! I loved your outfit AND the landscape, wow! This Monday I didn't participate, because my wardrobe is each day more limited... in less than a month I'll be moving again, so... things are now in boxes!

    GREAT outfit, I love the leopard mixed with the pink, so feminine! I really like your nail polish color, what is it? Looks like a beautiful location to take pictures and a nice long lunch.

    Lovely location for a photo shoot. I can definitely tell it's colder up that way than down here in North Carolina...the cold winters make their way down here too though eventually, although not to the Canadian degree i'm sure:-)
    You look absolutely FAB in your leopard AND pink...my kind of girl for sure! Also loving that color polish. And of course the shoes are beyond cute! Well done I say all around!

    What a gorgeous location! The leaves have started changing color here, but they aren't falling yet. What a shame that the weather will make you cover up your pretty painted toes soon. :(

    Your new profile picture looks great!

  34. CourtneyOctober 18, 2011 at 9:05 PM

    Oo, my favorite thing about fall is the falling leaves too. There is nothing more romantic than taking a walk and enjoying the brisk air and the scenery--watching them fall is my favorite.

    Your outfit is gorgeous! Prettiest animal print blouse! I love it. Blogging for Breast Cancer awareness is so important... <3 Love that you're spreading the word.

    Hi Emily darling, I have visited you but just have not commented. Sometimes I visit people real quick for inspiration and then I come back to comment. I have got to buy a leopard blouse. Yours is a perfect fit and I love that you paired it with pink. You are too cute. Dawn Suitcase Vignettes xo

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
