Adore these new jeans…le boyfriend – not so much. I do, however, think that he feels slightly relieved that for now, my boyfriend-dressing will slow down just a tad, and I won’t be stealing his jeans any time soon. But I, I just love my new jeans…so comfy, and not at all tight. How it should be. I also love my new Forever 21 crop top. Except, I have to tone up that belly before venturing out in public with my belly button showing. Strongbody class, here I go.
I Wore: Boyfriend Jeans – Urban Outfitters; Crop Top, Cardigan – Forever21; Bag – Zara; Boots, Belt – Aldo

This weekend was a bit of a write-off. With Canada playing Team USA, there couldn’t possibly be anything else on the agenda. So I woke up late, had brunch at Fran’s, spotted and snapped a photo of a girl wearing a leopard print coat, looking very cute (pics coming soon), and made Churros for le boyfriend and I (drenched in banana dulce de leche!). All in all sort of a semi-blah weekend, except for THE game, of course. And despite all this do-nothing-ness, I am still tired and semi-conscious this morning. Why, oh why, must Mondays be so gruelling?
PS. Renaming this section into “What I Wore” instead of “What I’m Wearing”…the grammar of it has been bugging me for a while, and I am finally changing it. Horray for being grammatically correct!

A little bit of Urban Outfitters and a little bit of Yorkdale. Thank goodness it’s Friday!

Spring has been on my mind since…December. And now, most stores actually reflect my wishful thinking! Hooray! The latest on my list of “wants” is the Welden lace-up shoe from Aldo. Great detailing, perfect heel (not too high, not too low), and a pretty good price point – $90. I think I am sold. Now can we just make all this snow disappear?
Update: Got these! Now if only the weather would cooperate, so that I could take these for a spin!

Ok, so my love for all things striped is still going on…and on…and on. Went to Yorkdale the other day, and almost bought two more striped things (a dress and a top). When will this madness stop? But the truth of the matter is…I feel comfortable and chic wearing Breton stripes…and that’s that. Stole my mom’s Ralph Lauren scarf…it is just soo comfy and warm! She won’t let me keep it, so I have to “borrow” it occasionally when she doesn’t wear it. Still loving my Aldo boots. Yeah, the heels are super high, but these are still the comfiest boots I own.
Oh, and I am also wearing my new Urban Outfitters “Texas” necklace!!! First spotted it at Buffalo’s Walden Galleria, regretted not buying it…tried to find it in Houston (without much luck), and finally got my paws on it in Toronto! You can’t see it here…but I’ll post a pic soon! Love it so much!

I’ve only been gone 4 days, but it feels like forever! That’s what being in Texas does to a girl. Some of you might know that I’ve spent a few of my college years in Houston, and out of those 4 or so years came a lot of friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime. Well, last weekend one of my dearest friends, Jen, got married to the love of her life Joe. And to celebrate that wonderful occasion, le boyfriend and I flew to Texas! Unfortunately for us, no carry-ons were allowed on flights from Canada to the US at the time, and perhaps due to my horrendous “luck” with baggage, ours was lost somewhere in Atlanta, which meant almost 3 days (out of 4), including the wedding, without our clothes. Rock and roll, right?
Well, after much stress and frustration, we went shopping and I finally was able to find these hot Aldo cage sandals in my size and on sale! I also bought a tweed Zara blazer, a one-shoulder Zara dress, and a few other items that I’ll be posting about later on. These pics were taken on our last day in Houston, after we’ve received our luggage. So it’s really a mix of what I brought with me with the items I had to buy out of necessity.
Note that the weather is…beautiful! This was taken on January 11th! While it was frigid and snowy in Toronto, le boyfriend and I frolicked in the sunshine, not wearing much clothes at all! And all those Texans still complained about the cold! Had I never moved to Canada, perhaps I wouldn’t appreciate those sunny days either…But I did move, and I did appreciate. Sunny days, delicious food, Southern hospitality, even if you only have one pair of underwear…what can be better?

If you haven’t been to Aldo Liquidation store on Yonge St. in a while, I seriously urge you to check it out! There are amazing deals to be had. Like my new kicking boots. Ok, fine, they aren’t really kicking boots, but I can imagine myself saving a granny from a purse snatcher, chasing the bad guy down and kicking him with my beautiful new boots, that I got for a fraction of the original price. Smart and kick-ass!
When I bought these, I didn’t think that they’d be too comfortable, seeing how they are 5000 inches tall. But to my surprise, I felt great walking in them…bouncy even! I think it’s due to the thick-ish rubber soles. It’s like tires for feet! Needless to say, Sunday brunch at Cora’s was a huge success…all thanks to my new boots!
I’m Wearing: Shrug – Zara; T-shirt – Hanes, stolen from le boyfriend; Shorts – Forever21; Scarf – H&M; Leggings – TNA; Boots – Aldo; Purse – Miu Miu

It was a pretty blah weekend here in Toronto. The weather…my goodness! I woke up at 1pm on Sunday, and it was still dark…Could’ve slept all day uninterrupted. Alas, I was awakened from my slumber, and ended up window shopping the day away after a quick Le Petit Dejeuner brunch. And though I vowed not to buy anything until after Boxing Day, I simply could not resist the amazing deal that was staring me in the face. Got these amazing black, lace-up booties from Aldo Liquidation store. Perfect Jeffrey Campbell “Poland” doppelgangers! Can’t wait to wear them! (Photos Coming Soon!)

I’ve been really loving the Biker Boot look lately. I keep stopping by Aldo and Browns to stare at and touch their Motorcycle Boots. Browns’ boots are so hot, with chains and buckles, kind of a beigey-colored suede, but costs $598!!! Not for a trendy piece! No, thanks. Aldo’s are much more affordable, and much simpler at that, but still nice and rugged. I guess I want to show off my tougher side, what after a summer of girly dresses and cutesy heels.
I love the look with leggings or skinny jeans. I also love it with mini dresses, the look most boys will surely disapprove of. But as they say, girls don’t dress for boys. Girls dress for other girls! And my girls will surely approve!
But can mere mortals pull this look off? Or does one have to be as tall and skinny as Carmen Pedaru (above) in order to avoid looking stalky? I guess if I continue to stalk those boots for another week, I’ll just have to budge and get them…skinny legs or not.

Birthday in less than 1 week. Panic is starting to set in. Only 5 years till I’m 30!!! Time is a-running out, yet so many things on “the list” are left untouched and unfinished…Welcome to my yearly birthday freak out.
This year, I am getting much closer to the big 3-0 mark… This year should be worse. But this year is different. Different, because at this moment, actually feel very content. And feel like for the first time in a little while have time to actually live my life and be happy (stop and smell the tulips, lilacs, etc).
Got no complaints and no regrets. And to celebrate all this happiness, I will stuff myself into a Herve Leger inspired dress by H&M. Put an oversized Zara “boyfriend” blazer on. Wrap a hardcore-hardware belt around my waist and stick my feet into Zanotti-esque Balmain-ish Aldo shoes. Will dance till no longer am able to stand. Will drink Malibu and Pineapple juice (or Coronas). Will not think about the unaccomplished, but instead will celebrate the items crossed off my list. Like swimming with the dolphins, or visiting my best friend in Switzerland, or finally getting my Canadian Passport. Instead of dreading being “another year older, none wiser”, will seize the day and……..Oh, who am I kidding??? I am 1 Jello cup, 2 grey hairs and 5 back pains away from the nursing home! I hate birthdays!
