Family Lifestyle | Styled by FASHIONIGHTS

If there’s one thing I will freely admit, it’s that I have a shopping problem. I just can’t resist clothes for Lyric! They’re all soo cute and small and fun and now, stylish! I know all you moms-of-boys are out there thinking, “ya, cute and stylish stuff for GIRLS.”. Boys’ clothes has come a LONG way, and I’m finding more and more ways to create style out of Lyric’s wardrobe. Seeing as there are so many ways of styling all over printed shirts, I have actually enjoyed seeing what I could pair my kids’ clothes with. It wasn’t as hard as I initially thought, but that what’s fun about fashion. Now, if there’s something else about me, it’s that I like a good deal, you will always find me in the clearance section first! I currently have bins of clothes for Lyric up to size 10 (he’s 3), no joke. HAHA! I told you.. it’s a problem! One of my FAVOURITE stores to shop for him is, hands down, H&M. Their clothes are extremely reasonably priced and CRAZY stylish! I have been known to drive hours just to shop at H&M! (hallelujah we FINALLY got one here in Ottawa!)

Family Lifestyle | Surfs Up!

If you know me at all, you know that I wear flip flops ALMOST year round. As soon as I see a peek of grass in the spring, they’re on, and I don’t take them off until the snow sticks. Yep, it can be snowing and I’ll have my flip flops on, it has to actually stick and stay. What can I say? I’m a creature of comfort. So, of course being a single mom, and the primary influence on Lyric, he too loves his flip flops (and knows to coordinate them with his outfit)!! When I heard about Sanuk, a company that makes “shoes” using a sandal base, I was already sold! Sanuk is the Thai word for “fun” and it’s what the brand is all about!

Lifestyle | OBEY Clothing

I love the idea of fashion as a lifestyle in the fact that you can pick and choose your clothing to best suit who you are. Take me for example, I switch my clothes to adapt to my day to day.  I work a 9-5 job and then lead the life of a blogger from 5-whatever it takes. I require a vast wardrobe to keep up with my busy life and schedule. That and of course to look good while doing it. I am after all the other half of FASHIONIGHTS.

Kind of like the idea of a paper doll (thank you Amanda for the amazing graphic above!) one of my favourite switches and addition to my personal paper doll closet is the iconic OBEY clothing. Let me tell you why adding their brand to your personal lifestyle is a great idea and how you can do it today. Continue reading “Lifestyle | OBEY Clothing”
