Bad Things Come in Threes?

I realize in that last pic my it looks like I was electrocuted by the fence behind me, hence the frizzled hair sticking out of my head but I assure you I am fine, I just forgot to use hairspray that day. The coat I am wearing is one of my favorites from my closet. I got it from H & M about two years ago and I wear it all year round except in -30 degree weather of course, when nothing but a down-filled parka or a coyote hide is suitable. Just kidding about the coyote hide, I'm a Vegetarian remember?

How was your weekend? Mine was okay but MAN I've been having some bad luck recently. In the span of one week I got a flat tire, broke my laptop again after an hour after I picked it up from the repair shop (can you believe it??) and on Sunday, while ice skating with D. I fell on my butt into a half-split and threw my hip out of alignment so now I'm walking around like an old granny with a bad back. Thank goodness my best friend is a physio therapist and is helping me out! I guess things can only go up from here. After I have my 2.5 hours gum surgery this afternoon, my luck will change, right?? It has to!

  6. OUCH! I hope you're feeling better now :( Stay away from high heels until you're fully recovered! :)

    But seriously, how did you manage to look so effortlessly chic in this casual laid-back outfit??!?! Love the subtle floral print on the scarf and your boxer boots! :D

  11. I love the jacket too - my friend has a similar one from Old Navy and I can't stop ogling it. I'll need to get one eventually. Also, I've been debating those boots for months now. Hmm.

    It's true though, it really can only get better from there! That does sound like a terrible week but at least you're continuing to be optimistic.

  13. Jesus!! You really do have bad luck, well you know what happens after a string of bad luck?! GOOD LUCK! So buy a lottery ticket ;)
    Hope all goes well with the gum surgery and your poor hip.
    I love this jacket, military type jackets in this colour are my favourite thing. I need to replace mine because it's starting to get holes!

  19. Oh my gosh I'm so sorry about your luck and I think you'll hit a real low point with the gum surgery..so it can only go up from here! Feel better soon :)

  20. Hahaha oh no love, well you know what, things CAN only go up. All my bad luck seems to happen in big waves like that as well, and the good news is that it can't possibly last. And as for these pics, I love the little wisps! This outfit is stunning - I love the soft colours and those booties are to die for.

  23. Love your outfit here, where did you get all those wonderful bracelets that you stacked? Looks great! The jacket is awesome - we are actually getting a similar one in our boutique, but with some faux fur on the hood! Your wedges are awesome too, and funny enough, we just a feature on wedges in our blog! Too bad we didn't see this post, would have loved to include yours in it too!
