Floral Leg Friday

This week has gone by so fast. I dont know what happened, since I hardly did anything, but I cant believe its Friday already! I really wanted to go see Black Swan tonight at the theatre, and then realized its not even in my city yet. Whats up with Canada being neglected with these amazing movies?! Have any of you seen it? Please tell me what you thought about it! I have been excited to show you these new tights that my friend Danielle got me for Christmas. They are the perfect blend of colors and flowers - definately makes me and my legs happy! And these shoes? I got them in the mail from Spring and couldnt have been more excited. Dani called them 'elf shoes' and I dont think she could be more accurate. I do feel like a little elf in them - but they are the perfect 'Kate' shoes. Thanks Spring for making my shoe-dreams come true!

What are you all up to this weekend? I have been doing a few sewing projects and have some things to share with you - tomorrow will be sewing saturday since I have to get some collars done! Wish me luck. I feel quite accomplished in this new sewing adventure, since I have only had to ask my mom for help once (yay!) and the pieces are suprisingly turning out. I like you sewing machine, I'll think I'll keep you around for a while.

Have a wonderful weekend, peaches! x

    Holy crap -- those tights are AMAZING! And they are the perfect floral pattern, so vintage and English garden-y. I'm really loving your hair in this post as well. And envying your snow.

    I really liked Black Swan. It was super intense, but so great, and the acting I thought was superb. Great music and cinematography as well. Definitely worth a watch! Silly Canada, not gettin' movies on time. :P

    I'm excited to see your sewing projects!

    I loveee those tights! They have similar ones in H&M i think? Those shoes are too cute! My friend has some boot ones similar to those and everyone thinks she looks like a pixie/elf in them too!

    Good luck with the sewing!

    Gorgeous as always! I LOVE this shirt/tights combo. I miss Cotton On from when I was in Australia (assuming that's where the shirt came from?). And Valleygirl, and Dottie. I can't figure out if I can order online, either! At least we have Anthropologie here!

    Goodness what adorable tights these are!!

    no I have not seen black swan but plan to when it is out on dvd whenever that is. haha. I just love ballet but haven't danced ballet in a long time because my parents' couldn't afford to keep me in it.

    hope your sewing project goes well. I love the second shot of you so much.

    I have no plans this weekend at all. . .maybe to dig out my room's clutter and get rid of it all.

    I can't wait to see what you have sewn 'sew' far! hehe. I really want to learn, is it easier than you thought? I have noone to help me if things take a turn for the worse!

    I could never quite get the floral tights right... but you look great! I actually did see Black Swan, and one only word to describe it: intense. Be prepare to feel uncomfortable and/or freaked out the entire time. That said, it was done really, really well and despite how dark it was, I truly enjoyed it.

    Those tights are amazing! And yayy, you got some little brown buckle brogues like you wanted ;) They look great on you.

    I love this whole outfit and these gorgeous photos. It's so funny to see you all rugged up and in snow, after you were in Australia for so long!

    These photos are realll pretty. I'm jealous of the snow on the ground, it's still in the 60's here most every day.

    Those tights are definitely magical and unique. What a great gift!

    Those tights are ah-mazing! Generally I haven't been the hugest fan of the floral tights/leggings but I think it's because I hadn't seen the right styling and pair yet and now I have. Simply gorgeous and these pictures are wonderful.

    I saw Black Swan and I'm in Canada - but I live in Toronto so that barely counts I guess. I loved it though. There was so many cringe-worthy moments but the technique wasn't over-used. All in all it was a beautifully disturbing movie. Might just have to come to TO to see it - let me know when ya do :p haha!

    I know I already tweeted you telling you how much I love these photos but they're just stunning! I'm head over heels for those tights, I've never seen such a solid pattern before and they're great. Your hair really suits you like that too.
    I'm desperate to see Black Swan but it doesn't come to UK until Jan 22 but I'm gonna be there as soon as possible! x

    Black Swan was incredible! Definitely a psychological thriller more than a pretty ballet movie. Some parts gave me the creeps! I want those tights! They're so pretty. All the stores are starting to phase out winter wear here :/
