Happy Sunday everyone! I wanted to do a full post yesterday after I got my hair done, however long weekends are usually busy at the hospital - and this weekend was/is no different! Anyways, I've always loved having short hair, but lately I had been trying to grow it out. I've done long hair, short hair, black, brunette, blonde - you name it. And while it was nice being able to put it in a pony tail, or bun, I have to say I am loving my bob so much more! I also am a huge fan of the color! Usually when I go in I get a different color every time - but lately I have been sticking to this same color. Why switch up a good thing? My hairdresser gave me an 'undercut' in the back, meaning the hair underneath is shorter than the hair lying overtop so that it looks more 'wispy'. At least I think that's what it means. As mentioned in my last post, a huge inspiration for me wanting to cut my hair short again was Karlie Kloss. You tube the new Victoria Secret commercial - her hair looks amazing! Also loving Anne Hathway's short cut, as well as Julianne Hough and Halle Berry. And who can forget Victoria Beckham's short hair? Love! What do you all think of shorter hairstyles? Would you ever go short, or do you have a short style already? I'd love to hear your thoughts!

New Haircut

Hi everyone! So after looking through old pictures I decided that yes, I like my hair better shorter! While I would love to have long thick hair, that just won't happen for me! I've tried growing my hair out, and I just can't do it. So yesterday I went to my hairdresser, Beverly, down at Influence Salon! All the bloggers I religiously follow have long, beautiful hair - but I'm happy to stand out in the crowd! Karlie Kloss in the new Victoria secret commercial? She looks AMAZING. I'm so happy to see an angel with a short cut. So kudos to her!

I've been going to my hairdresser Beverley for years now, and I don't know what I would do without her! I love how I can just go in, give her a brief idea of what I want and she just does it. I have complete trust in her which is so important to have with your hairdresser. For any of you living in Calgary, I would highly recommend Bev and this salon! Influence was founded by Wendy Belanger, and in 2012 Wendy was named Alberta Hairstylist of the year!

Dancing in the Rain

What's May long weekend without a little rain here in Calgary? I was supposed to go to a outdoor yoga in the dark event last night - and SURPRISE, we got rained out! Anyways, since its the season of rain showers & storms I thought it would be appropriate to dedicate a blog post to some of my favorite rain wear. I sure hope Memorial Day weekend will be nicer for all my American readers! Unfortunately for us prairie province inhabitants - our weekend will be spent trying to stay warm and dry. Well i'm off to my hairdressers now, doing something way different! I can't wait to show you all in my next blog post. Until then...

Monochrome: Nudes & Creams

Top:  Zara (similar here) | Pants: Dynamite (another version here)

Shoes: Payless (old) (similar here) | Bag: Coach | Necklace: Forever 21

Sunglasses: Forever 21 (other great ones here)

Hi everyone! One of my favorite trends this season is monochromatic colors. Head to toe pink, yellow, orange - you name it. This time I chose nudes/creams - I've been loving neutral palette's lately. This trend is especially great for shorter gals like myself. Wearing clothing all in the same color family can lengthen your frame and make you appear taller. And if your short like me, you will do anything to appear taller! I'm also loving the cutout trend this spring, and this top from Zara was perfect!

May: On My Radar

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6

So I was thinking, I'd like to start a new monthly blog post here on The Lee Diaries. Once a month i'll be posting a few of my favorite things and some items that are currently on my wish list. What's on your wishlist? Let me know!

Pink Polka Dots & Geo Print Jacket

Jacket: Forever 21 | Pants: Gap | Necklace: Forever 21 | Shoes: Forever 21
Clutch: H&M | Nail Polish: OPI I'm Indi-a Mood for Love


I am absolutely loving this outfit! It was inspired by another fellow blogger at The Fancy Pants Report. It was Kate that initially attracted me to the art of blogging. She was so kind when I contacted her regarding advice for starting up a new blog. I now follow her religiously, and she remains at the top of my list for best dressed bloggers! As you can see, my attraction to patterned pants continues. And while I love a traditional denim jacket, this geometric print number was just calling my name. I love mixing patterns, and I thought this was such a perfect combination. Thanks for the inspiration Kate!

Bloglovin'

So today I thought I would dedicate a post to my favorite app, Bloglovin'. I discovered this app on one of my favorite blogs way back when, and I have to say I have been addicted to it ever since. Bloglovin' is a great app to use to follow some of your favorite blogs (including mine!). I use it both on my computer and my iphone. Bloglovin' sends you updates when your favorite bloggers post, and its a great way to have all your blogs organized in one place. Don't worry, if you don't have an iphone you can still download it onto a computer/laptop. You can find the app here for your phone, or view it here on your computer. Let me know what you guys think :)
