A not so lame Father's Day Tie

Father's Day is a few days away.  I recently came across a mens discount website. It's called Jack Threads.  I'm sure there are lots of them for guys but I don't shop online for my husband too often. He's picky.

So I decided to buy Trevor two ties.  Yes a typical father's day gift most would think but not for my husband.  I've never bought him a tie as a gift.  Mainly because he doesn't wear ties ever.  Just for weddings.  We have three coming up so I thought it was the perfect opportunity to buy one [or two].  I liked that these were different.  I got a bow tie and a skinny casual tie.  Trevor is really picky when it comes to clothes yet he doesn't want to go shopping.  So I took the liberty of shopping for him and trying something different.  He's either going to love it or I'll be returning them.  I'm trying to take his style up a notch so we will see come this August.  

Do you check out discount websites?  Here are a few I like.  You can get great deals on name brand clothing.
Hautelook
Zuilly
Jane
Bluefly
YOOX
Gilt

Thred Up is a very cool store if you are looking to buy name brand used clothes plus you can sell your clothes for cash.  They also donate all the unused items to charity.  

If you are looking for high end luxury consignment, go to Walk In My Closet.  This website is all about name brands.  Guessing only a select few shop here.  

Some that are beyond my price range but fun sites to check out:
Century 21
Bib + Tuck
Luxury Garage Sale
Rue La La

If you have one you recommend, please share!

What I Wore: Girls Night Out

I haven't really done any fashion posts since I can't really say I'm ultra trendy or fashionable but I thought I would do a few posts about some items I found in Arizona.  It's so nice to buy clothes when you are away on a trip.  I find I'm more adventurous, it's a different selection and you can always find good deals.  

Friday evening I went out for a friends birthday to Chambar and Salt in Vancouver.  One, it's a big deal to have a girls night, two to go downtown and three get out of yoga pants and a ponytail.  I'm sure other mommy's can relate.  I enjoyed getting dressed up and trying out a new outfit.  I bought these black pants in Arizona by Lauren Conrad.  I really debated about buying them.  They weren't my usual style but I decided to take a chance.  And I'm so glad I did.  I got home and started seeing similar types of pants on celebrities on Instagram and Pinterest.  I concluded they were probably closest to a harem pant.  Maybe not a true harem pant with the ultra low inseam and mine don't have elastic on the pant leg cuff but they are baggy, pleated and narrow at the bottom.  I'm still playing around with tops but they are super comfortable and I can see myself getting lots of use from them this spring and summer season.  It's nice that they can be dressed up or down.  In the picture below, I paired it with a Forever 21 top and Old Navy faux snake skin flats.
