The New Reitmans

Reitmans has changed, they've morphed into a more modern store and it's caught my attention.

I know I know I know, mid level clothing stores aren't the best, I get it - my biggest concern is quality. Fast fashion like H&M/Forever 21 have huge quality issues and mid level retail stores are no different. To be honest I haven't been in a Reitmans store in years but with all the ads posted around I had to take a peek at their website.The styles are business casual and soccer mom friendly, perfect for me... I'm debating if I should visit the store in person to check out the quality or just order online.

Okay so everything I picked is VERY basic but I'm a mom and I need easy to wear pieces. I think I'll order online and report back my findings!

#IAMWHOIAM


Girls would take 100 shots and a very few shots will make it to posting. In general, only one will make it to posting. That is us, girls. When I take my #OOTD shots randomly using my smartphone, my husband can take up countless shots before I get contented with the pictures. I have learned my angles especially when posing in camera but sometimes, if it is a random shot using my smartphone, my best angles aren't convincing enough. But looking good is not just about your appearance because I believe that if you have a beautiful mind and heart, the beauty radiates from within and that where the confidence comes from. Agree? Whatever size you are, small or big, it's how you wear that self-confidence. I am moved by ROSEGAL because as they celebrate their 5th anniversary, they give us customers a chance to share our story to inspire girls everywhere. And there's nothing better than receiving shopping points and a chance to win $50 by sharing your story. Agree?

I totally noticed that the inspired videos are of the plus size influencers. I enjoyed watching all the videos. I find it very inspiring and they're all beautiful. Salute to Rosegal for this amazing promotion of #iamwhoiam. It's really true that anyone can be sexy and anyone can wear what he or she wants. Fashion is not limited to the skinny body, always remember that. I remember my friend that I got to know 8 years ago. She is nice and very kind. She always treats me to dinner and spa before. For other people’s eyes, and me, she is beautiful. But I think she didn't know that or better say; she doesn't believe that every time a compliment has been expressed towards her. She is a plus size and she never realized that sometimes I envy her voluptuous body especially in the chest department. Haha! I always asked her to give me some of it, which we always end up laughing. She has a beautiful heart and that's why I have mentioned above that it's the beauty of the heart that radiates from within. I can say that I've helped her in terms of gaining her self-confidence and I am proud of that. Care to share your story? We are all eyes and ears for it.

I can't contain the excitement because I just got a huge discount coupon. (Coupon:RGNancy2)

These two dresses will hit the checkout on July 16. Yes, I am going to use the huge discount coupon I claimed from the party countdown. The denim blue cutout dress left me in awe. I really love its cutout back design. What a twist indeed. As well as this pineapple print shift dress. The asymmetrical cut of the dress added glam aside from the famous pineapple print.

Zara Sale

I got lucky a few weeks ago and just so happened to be at Zara on the FIRST DAY OF THE SALE!!! YAHOO!!

Had my pick at everything and here's what I picked up!

Image 3 of SATIN PUMPS WITH CONTRASTING HEELS from Zara

I'm a tad obsessed with this shoe and can't wait to wear them in the fall! True to size!

Image 1 of HIGH HEELED STRAPPY SANDALS from ZaraImage 4 of HIGH HEEL STRAPPY SANDALS from Zara

My goodness, these heels are actually comfortable! The straps are soft and flexible so they don't dig into your foot. 

Image 2 of BLOUSE WITH EMBROIDERY from Zara

I love the top but I should have went down a size, it's massive on me but still kinda cute.

Image 1 of TWEED HALTERNECK DRESS from Zara

TRF Dress so I went with a large in this tweed dress. The top is narrow and the bottom is A-line, great for my apple body!

Image 4 of DRESS WITH MAXI RUFFLE DETAIL from Zara

I was able to go with a small in this dress, the ruffle hides the stomach!

Aritzia Presale!!!

It's the most wonderful time of the year!! The Aritzia pre-sale was last weekend!! I use to be TNA girl but with age I've gown into a Babaton women and now turned into a Wilfred Free Mom.


Every year during the pre-sale, valued customers are given a free gift with purchase. My most loved gift are my Aritzia beach towels but this year's gift is just something special. You can choose between 5 different colour wallets OR a donation made to support local charities. This is the first year I've seen a donation option!! So amazing!

Now to the good stuff!! This is what I've purchased this weekend.
Babaton GALEN CAMISOLE | AritziaWilfred SÈVRES BLOUSE | Aritzia
{Left: Babaton GALEN Camisole - $60 from Aritzia}
{Right: Wilfred Sevres Blouse - $65 on sale from Aritzia}

I like a light airy style so I went up a size in these tops. Both are polyester so easy to wash and won't wrinkle!

Azure Skies CROPSEY ROMPER | Aritzia
{Azure Skies Cropsey Romper - $65 from Aritzia}

My first time purchasing a Azure Skies item so I went up a size because I wasn't too sure how this would wash. It's a very light rayon material and sometimes rayon shrinks in the wash. 

Babaton CURTIS DRESS | AritziaLittle Moon COSMOS DRESS | Aritzia
{Left: Babaton CURTIS Dress - $125 from Aritzia}
{Right: Little Moon Cosmos Dress - $125 from Aritzia}

Both are polyester and I actually went down a size in these dresses. I normally go with Med for dresses because I need more room in my mid section, however these dresses are really loose fitting. The Little Moon has a cinched waist but it doesn't cut off circulation and the Curtis dress is A-line!

Babaton ZAYN TANK | AritziaBabaton SAMI T-SHIRT | Aritzia
{Left: Babaton ZAYN Tank - $40 from Aritzia}
{Right: Babaton Sami T-Shirt - $40 from Aritzia}

Not so Basic MOM shirts that feel amazing! Love shirts with spandex!

Tna ALDER T-SHIRT | Aritzia        Levi's 501 SHORT BLUE EXPLORE | Aritzia
{Left: Tna ALDER T-Shirt - $19.99 on sale from Aritzia}
{Right: Levi's 501 Short Blue Explore - $45 on sale from Aritzia}

True Story: I tired on the Levi's shorts and asked a random stranger if I'm too old for these booty shorts. Turns out I still look early 30's! I purchased these Levi's in a size 30 so it wasn't short short shorts. 

Next Time

Because I like to torture myself, here's my wishlist for the week... Meaning I want to go back and buy more!

Babaton MAXIMILLIAN JUMPSUIT | Aritzia         Babaton ETIENNE DRESS | Aritzia
{Left: Babaton MAXIMILLIAN Jumpsuit - $185 from Aritzia}
{Right: Babaton ETIENNE Dress - $85 on sale from Aritzia}

I'm so dumb for not buying the Maximillian jumpsuit!! Going back ASAP to buy this!

Azure Skies TABATA JUMPSUIT | Aritzia          Sunday Best RALEIGH DRESS -LONGSLV | Aritzia
{Azure Skies TABATA jumpsuit - $70 from Aritzia}
{Sunday Best Raleigh Dress - $65 on sale from Aritzia}

Didn't see this in stores so very tempted to buy these online and I rarely buy things online that I can't return!

Little Moon STELLERA DRESS | Aritzia          Wilfred Free IZABEL ROMPER | Aritzia
{Left: Little Moon Stellera Dress - $72.25 on sale from Aritzia}
{Right: Wilfred Free Izabel Romper - $65 from Aritzia}

Note: I tried on the Stellera dress and the waist was soooo small and I feel like I could live in Izabel romper!

Wilfred Free SIMONA DRESS | Aritzia          Wilfred Free ELAINA DRESS | Aritzia
{Wilfred Free SIMONA Dress - $35 on sale from Aritzia}
{Wilfred Free ELAINA Dress - $60 from Aritzia}

Because I'm a basic lazy mom :)

Last Pair!!

The clothing retail business has really changed in the last 10 years. E-Commerce is still new to me, I prefer visiting the stores in person to touch and feel my clothing items (Online pictures are so deceiving, it's hard to tell the quality of a product through photos). What I do like about E-Commerce is the stock availability online checks, gone are they days of visiting 3-4 stores just for 1 store or asking the sale associates to check other stores for the item. I love that most stores give the customers the power to check their inventory stock online... I'll still go to the store to buy it!

Tiegan Metallic Embossed Leather Sandal
{Tiegan Metallic Embossed Leather Sandal by Michael Kors - $99 on sale now}

I rarely check but I found this beauty online and actually found a pair in my area in my size!! RARE! For $99, I really can't go wrong! While most people will be put off with the snake effect and black/gold combo, this just screams me!!! It's a nice high heel, good heel arch, drama, glam and inexpensive! Even more rare, I don't buy Michael Kors products very often so extra special! 

Other sale shoes I'm considering
