Cat Eye Sunnies

As noted on my Spring Shopping Needs post, I very much wanted Cat Eye sunglasses. I specified I wanted the Marc Jacobs. I ended up buying a different pair, but love them so much more. My new pair is the 30th Anniversary of Sexy pair from Guess. Oozing with retro-glam feel, they were exactly what I was looking for. What put them over the edge from the other pairs was the size. These were extra small frames, which fit my small face best. As much as over-sized sunnies are all the rage and have been for quite some time, these I wanted to fit perfectly on my face. So here's my new sunglasses, leopard print with a major pin-up vibe. Enjoy xo

High Tea

Hello my lovely followers! My apologies, it seems as it has been years since I have posted anything. I've been busy, to say the least. But with this beautiful warm weather and tea dates which have been coming at me left right and centre, I was inspired. I absolutely love afternoon tea, one because tea dates are so chic, plus tea always comes with desserts, and of course desserts are divine. This outfit I absolutely love for two reasons; my crochet cardigan and my shoes. First I'll start with the cardigan. I am so thrilled about this summer's fashion because it is so ladylike, crochet being no exception. I had searched far and wide to find the perfect one and as soon as I saw this one, I knew it was the one. Well-fitting and well-made, it was love at first sight. My shoes are also a product of lots of browsing and internet-shopping. I of course could never have enough shoes, but my closet nor my budget can handle that. I wanted to find a shoe that hit all the style elements I wanted, but also was comfortable and easy to walk in (for a 5inch heel). The good price also didn't hurt. Material Girl, Madonna's clothing line, has become one of my go-tos for going-out lines. Quite friendly on the wallet, the line offers fun unique pieces that you'll wear once without a guilty concionus. They also have shoes for under $70 which is just unheard of! So here is the outfit which I wore out with my sister for Sunday night dessert, enjoy!

Va-Va Vintage

Vintage finds make up for almost the entirety of my outfit for today. There is something cool and relaxed about vintage I find, perhaps it comes in the understanding of the piece(s) of clothing being a gift from someone else to you, whether it be direct giving or through finding such an item. I have a mix of both; my Dad's old 100% cashmere sweater that I've washed and worn so many times it's shrunk down to my size. As well my belt and my shoes are vintage as well. I have had these oxford lace up for about 5 years, and have loved them every minute of those 5 years. Enjoying my first real week of Spring, I was so thrilled to get outside and have the sun warm on my face. There's nothing like coming from parkas to without-a-jacket weather. And for my causal Sunday look, I chose to go causal, chic and comfy. Enjoy!

Sailorette

STRIPES. They are a very complicated, trouble-making pattern in fashion. Sometimes 'they' tell you never ever ever wear stripes, especially if you are not a size 00, but then the fashion world goes ahead and makes you fall in love with the nautical look. So I say, forget the rules! It's more fun breaking them than following anyway. So I fell in love with this top the instant I saw it. Not only is it hot pink (I can't get enough of neons), it's also nautical inspired. With it's stripes, thick cotton, and causal loose fit, I had to get it. Paired with of course my favourite pants to give it some edge, and my new super cute Betty Boop vintage over-sozed watch I love this trying to encourage the spring weather outfit. I wore this out to the bar for a night of lollies, drinks and of course a huge plate of french fries (I can not go to the bar without ordering a plate - it's a curse I swear). Anyway, here's my first official post of a spring outfit, and I can not wait to post more! Spring, get here already please! Enjoy and remember bring your lolli to the bar!

A Fashion List is a Wish Your Heart Makes

For every season, I always always always make a fashion wish list of all the essential items for the upcoming season. I do this one; because I am slightly anal/weird and get super excited about making and crossing things off my list two; because it is also my attempt at smart shopping, if I know what I want ahead of time, it seems to cut down the number of impulse buys I do. So here it is, my spring shopping list. Of course, things are subject to change, well more like items will most definitely be added, (because it is midterms I haven't picked up March's edition of Vogue yet, I know, shame on me). Enjoy and get ready for spring!

Spring Wish List

• Colourful 3/4 length sleeve Spring Jacket 
• Hot Pink skinny jeggings
• Turban-tying scarves (square silk scarves)

Fall Fashion Preview - Cheap & Chic

I always find it fun, but slightly overwhelming that the fashion world works about a season and a half ahead of real life. While currently I am trying to make my shopping list for spring, I have thoughts of fall fashion 'It Items' buzzing around in my head. Not only does it make you excited for shopping for trends months away, it is also just plain confusing .. Shouldn't I be putting my skirts away, not thinking of buying them? But like always the fashion world does not stop for anyone, so here is my personal favourite show thus far. I truly believe that fashion should be fun, colourful and when used appropriately, wild. That was exactly what we saw from Moschino Cheap & Chic in London.  With New York fashion week just passing, we saw lots of dark, heavy fabrics with lots of fur. Moschino Cheap & Chic seems to be a breath of fresh, fun air. With hints of silhouettes  taking reference from the 60s, and creamy soft hues, this fall season is all about chic, girlie sophistication, my absolute favourite combination. Let me know your favourite show thus far for Fall 2012! Enjoy!

I've Got the Blues

Blue. I absolutely love wearing the colour blue. I also love 100% silk, kimonos, high-waisted shorts and button down shirts. So it's safe to say, I love my outfit today. I took advantage of our freakishly warm weather today in Toronto to bring out the shorts. My attempt at trying to coax warm weather out of mother nature; let's see how that works. Anyway, my silk kimono-equse cardi is one of my new favourite pieces, because it's so versatile. I can wear it on a shluppy day over a sweater and jeans, over a dress, and basically over anything my little heart desires. It was also one of those buys where the new season's clothing JUST moved into stores, and even though spring is months away, you HAVE to start buying so you're all ready when it finally hits. It's such a trap for poor shopoholics like most of us probably are, and as much as I am aware of this, I always get caught. Fun fact, Demi Lovato was seen wearing this kimono in a black this past winter, so let's pretend that legitimizes my unnecessarily early planning for spring. Either way, I love this buy and I love this outfit, enjoy!
