What I Wore: Lucky, Lucky, You’re So Lucky

Last month, I received this super adorbs tee from Lucky 7 - and immediately wished it was Valentine’s Day…because seriously how appropriate would it be?! Well, Valentine’s Day or not, I ended up wearing it to dinner with le boyfriend at home, because sometimes it’s nice to wear something other than grandma pjs to dinner. And sometimes it’s even nicer to wear a sequined heart on your chest, simply ’cause it’s cute, and you love your man…until SIKE - he finds out that the tee actually says LOVE STINKS (it’s a perfume bottle, get it?)! I don’t think I’ll ever be too old for ironic t-shirts…especially as cute as this one.

Also, see if you can spot the new letter ornaments I picked up at Anthropologie for our first Christmas tree together. They were handmade in Haiti, with each ornament sold, supporting local artisans, as well as local economy. These would make lovely stocking stuffers, if you’re still looking for one or two.

I Wore: Tee – c/o Lucky 7; Skirt – c/o Banana Republic; Necklace – Forever21; Shoes – D&G; Bracelet – Kate Spade

Lenscrafters RxHIBITION Event with Mena Suvari

Did you know that only 11% of the glass-wearing population actually get prescription for their sunglasses? Not a presription wearer myself, I can’t imagine spending a hot summer day sunglass-less, squinting and not protecting those peepers from the harmful UV rays. Well, Lenscrafters has a perfect solution for you, squinty eyed person with vision problems. Their RxHIBITION program allows you to replace the lenses of your Lenscrafters sunglasses with prescription ones, quickly and efficiently. You should also know, that if you buy eyewear from Lenscrafters, on top of lovely service and great selection, you will also be getting a 90-day unconditional guarantee, one-hour service, and free adjustments and cleanings for those brand new (sun)glasses of yours! Sounds like a damn good deal to me.

Lenscrafters  carries a vast variety of brands for every personality out there: D&G, Burberry, Ray Ban (my faves), DKNY, Tory Burch, and many more. You can even take an online quiz, just like the attendees of the RxHIBITION event did, to determine which eyeglass frame personality type you are. I, myself, was deemed a Style Maven (ha!), though I usually tend to gravitate towards the Classic Wayfarer look more often than not. Either way, the quiz is quick and fun, and helpful, especially if you are cripplingly indecisive.

The event’s gorgeous hostess - actress Mena Suvari - attended last week’s event, sharing that she’s a longtime fan of Lenscrafters, and prefers the classic shades like Ray Ban, herself. And though Mena had lasik eye surgery to fix her vision problems, she still rocks her fave Lenscrafters sunglasses all year long.

So tell me, do you use prescription sunglasses? I’d love to hear your stories!

More photos after the jump!

What I Wore: I’m Like a Bird

When I saw Flare Magazine’s “Prom Part Deux” contest entry requirements, I knew I had to try my luck. All I needed to do was write about my own Prom, and describe why I might deserve to have another go at it. After finding out that I won 2 tickest to the Prom at the ROM event, as well as $1000 gift certificate from BCBG, I was seriously jumping for joy. But upon further reflection, me #WINNING meant that I truly did have the best worst Prom story ever. And that, my friends, is hella sad.

Not to rehash my way too long Prom fail story, here’s just a quick summary of things that happened on Prom night (and before):

- Lost luggage on my way to Prom (dress, shoes, accessories…everything!)
- Couldn’t find a last-minute dress replacement, so I went with a very simple aka blah choice
- My mom’s hairstylist gave my shoulder-length hair some major whippage, making me look very Marge Simpson (sans le bleu)
- At Prom, my first attempt at dancing resulted in a broken heel
- Best friend loaned me some shoes from her mom’s car – black rubber cloggy type monstrosities
- Oh, and since I’ve spent my senior year studying abroad, I went without a date

So you might see now that I needed another chance at Prom. After much consideration, I went with this BCBG Max Azria Runway number. It was just too perfect for twirling, and I fell in love with the pleated side-skirt-thingamajig. 

So, thank you Flare, for giving me a chance to experience Prom again…this time with a great date, a lovely dress, and a pair of heels that didn’t buckle on me. One could even say that I…had…the time of my life! And I owe it all to you.

I Wore: Dress – BCBG Max Azria Runway; Shoes – D&G; Earrings, Necklace – Aldo; Bracelet – H&M; Ring – Forever21

What I Wore: Girls’ Night Out

Wore this to dinner with my girlfriends last Friday. We went to Osteria Ciceri e Tria and ended up having a blast of a time, catching up on gossip, latest adventures and holiday plans. Haven’t hung out with my besties in a while now. I mean, sure, we’ve gotten together for lunches and shopping sprees, but not like that, not all-together at a dinner table, dolled up and not having to rush-rush-rush…not in a while now.

The holidays are almost here, there’s only one more month left until Christmas, and then it’ll be all turkey, champers and mistletoe…and of course, family, friends, and loved ones. It’s my favorite time of the year! And also, the time of the year, I tend to slow down on blogging, working, and running around…trying to focus on the small things that make me happy instead. My top three (apart from hanging out with my loved ones) are: mushy holiday films (Love Actually, Bridget Jones’ Diary), baking cookies and brownies, and wrapping Christmas presents. What are yours?

What I Wore: Dress, Faux Fur Collar, Tights, Wide Belt – H&M; Cardigan – Forever21; Bag – Prada; Belt – Moschino; Shoes – D&G; Earrings – Chanel

Milan Fashion Week Spring 2010

milan

It’s raining Fashion Weeks everywhere and I love it! Today I give you my faves from Milan’s Spring 2010 shows. My personal favorite so far is D&G! I think it’s all the camel-colored leather and denim shirts. The denim shirt tucked into the jeans look sort of reminds me of the JLo look from 2001. Remember the denim jumpsuits? I had one…looked so hot if I may so myself! Well, the Western look and Mickey Mouse tees are nothing new, but it works and I love it!

Overall, was not very impressed with Prada this time around, not coveting anything at all. The mod legginess of Versace, on the other hand…yes, please! Love the colorful raggedy dress from Moschino and shredded sweaters from Just Cavalli (much more appropriate for fall than spring, no?). Speaking of Cavalli, even “Bobby” had plenty of nude colors on the runway this time around. Time to invest in a light beige dress perhaps?

Wednesday Candy: David Gandy

david gandy

Today’s Wednesday Candy is David Gandy! Rhymes with candy! But that’s not why I chose him. The guy is obviously gorgeous, and is a star of D&G Light Blue commercials, which were shot in lovely Capri. Love, love, love the Amalfi Coast! It’s got to be one of the most picturesque and romantic places in Europe! And Mr. Gandy here is making the landscapes even more eye-catching! Happy Wednesday everyone!

Anything but running shoes!

My boyfriend’s style isn’t bad. Unlike many guys out there, he actually cares about his clothes and doesn’t just pick stuff off the floor in the morning and pile it on randomly. He likes to look good. He also doesn’t own any off the shoulder boatneck sweaters like some people I know (and thank goodness for that!). So when he told me that he is bringing a pair of running shoes for our trip to Europe, I was a bit taken aback.

After the initial reaction of “YOU ARE WHAAAAAAAAAAAT???”, I could kind of see where he was coming from. The pair of Converse high tops that he usually wears and that I love dearly are not very comfortable and won’t be an ideal choice for long (loooong) walks that we are bound to take (blisters aren’t fun in Canada, can’t imagine they’d be a blast in Europe)…So what now? Am I going to let him look like a typical North American tourist in a t-shirt that reads “I am CANADIAN!”, khaki shorts, thick white athletic socks, and…running shoes??? I might as well sign him up for the Da Vinci Code tour around Paris and be done with it!

Instead, I thought a little showcase of what else is out there in casual footwear might do the trick in preventing him from crossing over to the dark side. In my humble opinion, a simple black sneaker/casual shoe could be just as comfy as “the shoe that will not be named”, and look a thousand times better! Just ask Patrick Dempsey.
