What I Wore: A Day in My Life

nine-west-pastel

Nine West Canada asked me to tell them what a typical day in my life looked like, and so I told them! Go and visit their new(ish) Tumblr page, if you are curious to know what it is I do all day. As it turns out – it’s fairly difficult to remember to take photos of your outfit/shoes/things you do, while you are running around town from meeting to meeting, to lunch, to events, etc…so those pics may or may not have been taken over the course of a week. But I sure did wear these lovely Pamper shoesies all week long…because they go with everything. Seriously, if you want your legs to look long, invest in a pair of nude-colored heels, and you’re set for the summer. Oh, and they are on sale now too. You’re welcome.

Now, go and check out Nine West Canada’s Tumblr, and have a wonderful long weekend!

Wishlist: Coach Legacy Fall 2012 Collection

Ever since I saw these pics, I must admit – I’m really into Coach’s Legacy Fall 2012 Collection. It has everything: classic silhouettes, high-quality leather, and gorgeous colors. What more would you want? I think this collection is one of the best Coach has ever produced – classic, simple, and oh-so-covet-worthy.

What do you think of Coach Legacy Fall 2012 collection? Which style would you want for yourself? Share in the comments.

What I Wore: Date Night

nine-west-shoes

I wore this outfit in Florence to dinner with le bf…who by then has become le husband…and it was (possibly) our first date night as husband and wife together…ever! So…I apologize for the lack of detail shots…as we were in a rush and took only a couple of photos, before running through the streets of Firenze, across Arno, and to our fave restaurant in Italy – 4 Leoni. If you’re ever in Florence, you must go there, and order some pear ravioli. It will change your life.

I am almost out of vacation/honeymoon outfit posts, and it makes me incredibly sad. It’s weird, isn’t it? After a week or two of travelling, I am almost always ready to go home, sleep in my own bed, and stop living out of a suitcase. But then like clockwork, a couple of weeks after I get back, I am itching to go away again. So what I’m really saying is…where should I go to next??? Any suggestions? Share them in the comments.

Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2012 Ad Campaign

Love, love, love this Fall 2012 ad campaign for Dolce & Gabbana, featuring Monica Bellucci, Bianca Balti, and Bianca Brandolini, shot in beautiful Italy, and featuring what looks like everyday family moments. That is if your family has outstanding genes (Monica is magnificent, no?), and wears a lot of Dolce & Gabbana. I also adore this collection…from the baroque prints, to black lace, to gold accents overload…I want it all!

This ad campaign is very similar to the Spring 2012 ads shot in Sicily, but still manages to take my breath away. You like? Share in the comments!

Wishlist: Charlotte Olympia “Baboushka” Bag

charlotte-olympia-matryoshka-doll-bag

The moment I saw this Charlotte Olympia “Baboushka” bag (GBP 375), I knew I had to have it. It’s like Charlotte continues to design things with me in mind…first the black Kitty Flats that are a carbon copy of my cat Pepper, and now this matryoshka bag! Oh, Charlotte…you know me so well.

Here’s hoping that Nicholas Mellamphy orders a few of these for The Room. Fingers crossed.

What I Wore: In the Buff

club-monaco-skirt

Palm trees, sandy beaches, sunshine, yummy food and sangria…just a few things I miss about Barcelona. I also must admit that I kind of miss seeing all the nudists first thing in the morning, while making our way to the subway. After a couple of days, le bf and I turned it into a game of “I spy”. As in “I spy two old men talking to each other, one not wearing anything, and the other one in a speedo”…or “I spy a family (mom, dad, and kid)…all in the buff, playing in the sand”…or…well, you get the point.

But despite the entertainment value of nudity…obviously, I chose to wear clothes instead. For one, I can’t get enough of this Club Monaco maxi skirt…light, breezy, billowy…it feels like nothing when it’s on! Paired with a loose tank – it’s my go-to outfit this summer. In case you haven’t noticed, my new Tory Burch bag saw a ton of action on my vacation too. Who knew that orange goes so well with everything?

And there you have it…an outfit that feels as comfy as being naked, without looking it. What’s your go-to outfit for hot and sticky summer days? Share in the comments.

Shopping: falconwright

falconwright

Just ordered my very first falconwright piece! If you still haven’t heard about falconwright, you must check out their selection of super adorable screen-printed leather clutches, handmade in Toronto by Sandi Falconer and Danielle Wright. Each time, only a small batch of leather goods is produced, so if you see something that you like, get on it and buy, buy, buy. I made a mistake of being indecisive, and the piece I wanted sold out. Lesson learned. Next time, I won’t hesitate…especially, since prices start at $20!

What I Wore: Into The Blue

blue-maxi-dress

Looking through the images from our honeymoon, I can’t help but wish I was back in beautiful Barcelona, strolling down La Rambla, indulging in delicious tapas, and drinking sangria under the hot Spanish sun. Below is a selection of photos from one of those lovely days spent enjoying Barcelona, and discovering its many hidden (and not so hidden) gems. Enjoy!

Ann Taylor Fall 2012 Preview

ann-taylor-toronto-canada

If you still haven’t heard, both Ann Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft will be coming to Toronto this year, and while I was stuck in bed, chugging Nyquil, Ann Taylor previewed their Fall 2012 offerings at the Carlu. This fall, at Ann Taylor, you’ll be able to find a ton of great office staples, colorful outerwear, as well as gorgeous shoes and accessories. And if you used to shop Ann’s lovely selection in the states, now you can do the same without having to trek across the border. Yet another win for Toronto!
