What and Where
Though this post is long overdue, I believe anytime is a good time to spill secrets, ain't it? The uber-stylish Ashley of Lions Lace Lattes is a true Canadiana, not just with her sartorial choices, her practical yet brilliant take on daily ensembles but her easy going nature is an easy give-away! She takes fantastic photos in a very unique way and the girl got some serious smarts - hello psychology and neuroscience, your everyday ordinary ice-breakers!
So, here's the first part, ML's SEVEN Confessions:
1. I have way too many clothes. (Please don't show this post to E, he'll feel totally vindicated in his recent comment that a linen closet is no space for a grown man's suits and trousers! I say think outside the box, dude!)
2. I take it back, I don't have that many. I have to confess I was under duress in making that first statement. Your honour, please strike that off the record.
3. I have a love/hate relationship with my skin hence, my horror (sure, excitement too) when J announced, I bought my Nikon dSLR, Oy!
p.s. Some of you have been very sweet, thank you for the nice comments about not needing make-up, you
are too kind.
4. I love cards, greeting cards that is (alright, if you really want to be picky, let's count credit cards and gift cards too!). I have boxes and boxes of all I've received for birthdays, Christmas and other special events. It appalls me to no end that people do not bother with thank you cards anymore, what's next, anarchy? =)
5. Used to hate 'em but now can't live without 'em - I love you Whooga boots!
6. I wish I was always fashionable but even bloggers need a break from dressing up right? Hey, they never even noticed I was wearing yoga pants instead of suit pants with my blazer last week!
7. I looove sales tags! You'd be better off taking a five-hundred dollar item to the back and slapping a 50% off red sticker on it than hawking me some regular-priced twenty-dollar great buys. I'm just sayin'!
There's a second part to this Seven Confessions tag so watch out for tomorrow's post. In the meantime my dear readers, what have you got to confess?

That dress is the hotness!! And I love the way you styled it! And I feel the way you do about clothes about my camera stuff! I think I have a lot already, but I'm obsessed! I need to keep adding more goodies to the collection, but the hubby doesn't need to find out...does he? ;o)
My confession? hmmm I love fashion its my addiction. But I don't fallow trend too much I always stick to classic and mix it up.Next time I come to your place will clean up your closet k.
I love your tights! Purple is such a beautiful color for tights. Can't think of a confession now, but maybe next time!
Perfect in purple hunnie!! I love your necklace, of course you KNEW Id say that, right? lol....I love your confessions....I need more closet space too..and heyy....while we are at it, why dont we just make closets exclusively for our jewelry?? hehehe

the layering of the jewelry is impeccable. gorgeous dress too :)
I am so happy you took back your first confession! A fashionista like you never has enough clothes. Sales are my weakness... I'll justify any shopping spree if when was bough was on sale. LOVE that ruffled dress. H&M must come to Ottawa.

And that necklace is killer!

and nobody can have too many clothes. :)

theres nothing better than a $17 dress. and i dont have enough clothes. or so i think. LOL
You are way too cool for me! This outfit looks great, really. Very edgy and rockish, but still wearable.
I also love that watch!
all of your accessories are just perfect with this dress! I love how you kept the short gloves on for some of the pics, it'd decidedly edge.
And there is no such thing as too many clothes. You can tell E I said so!
p.s....... ottawa blogger meet up soon??? We must organize this!
Love the unexpectedness of those purple tights. Nice pop of colour!
I also love collecting gift cards. I never throw them out like most people think!
I love love love that necklace! Your accessories are so great, and that dress is amazing.
My confession - I can't resist lip-gloss and ridiculous high heels (that I will never wear). I have way too many of both, and often wear them around my house when I have no where to go to "justify" my purchases.
Great post...love that dress...i confess i collect everything...and only throw it out when someone tells me ive had it for way to long! eek!

That necklace is amazing! Such a statement!
I looooove cards. I can spend hours in Hallmark every week searching for the perfect pick-me-up, get well soon, or just because card. :)
that dress is simply fabulous!!!
How funny about the clothes thing - I often look through my closet and am agasp at how much "crap" I've got. Then on other days (like today!), I look around and just think how sucky my entire wardrobe is and how I don't have enough of anything. Ah well, girls are girls, huh.
You look great!
Great outfit!
Bonjour! Another great outfit. The accessories are my absolute favorite. Thanks for stopping by!

Your dress is so pretty, and you look great in it! "Hey, they never even noticed I was wearing yoga pants instead of suit pants with my blazer last week!" I totally love this. I hate to admit it, but sometimes I don't look the greatest, either. We're all human, right?
Take care! :)
Did you say something? I cannot un-fixate from that amazing DRESS and NECKLACE!
I love these confessions. They made me think of my own confessions. Cute idea for a post.

Love Love Love this outfit! That dress is gorgeous and I want that necklace!!
I used to have a very similar white guess watch, but it disappeared. :( I miss it.
Love your confessions too! I feel the same way about sales tags. lol.
The pop of turquoise on your coat, the purple tights and all the jumble of statement, chunky necklaces make this a stellar outfit. Excellent combinations!
That dress is amazing and I love it paired with the purple tights!
I've kept all my greeting cards too. They're so nice when nostalgia hits, you know?
Great colored tights. And I love your sense of humor.
It's a very nice dress. I also love the grey blazer above. Thanks for sharing the photos and come and visit me too when you have time.
