What I Wore: Striped

 4 things:

1. Happy Chinese New Year!

2. Yes, I am wearing the furry vest again. No, I don’t need an intervention.

3. This is what I wore to a mom-date this weekend…one where my mom made me yummy Russian food, and I had to roll myself home afterwards.

4. Is the weekend really over already? *cries, hides in the corner*

What I Wore: Mad Men

I was going to call this post “Mad Women”, but then you might think that I’m mad, and I’m really not…so “Mad Men” it is. Because if this high-waisted pencil skirt doesn’t scream Joan, then I don’t know what does. Ok, I do know - big tatas…but since I’m lacking in that department, high-waisted skirt it is.

I’m also wearing my beloved belt from the OBJECT by George Antonopoulos for Danier collection (say that 10 times!), which literally goes with everything, and garners compliments every time I put it on. And that’s awesome. Can’t wait ’til the Spring 2012 collection hits the stores! Seriously, can’t wait!

I Wore: Top – Forever21; Skirt, Tights – H&M; Shoes – Nine West; Belt – OBJECT by George Antonopoulos for Danier; Bag – Prada; Ring – YSL

What I Wore: New Beginnings

Happy New Year, everyone! Even though I’ve been extra lazy this holiday season…I am slowly but surely getting back into my pre-Christmas routine of working, blogging, and wedding-planning. And in case you wanted proof, here I am in actual clothes! No pjs and no blankets. Now that’s what I call progress.

How has the New Year been treating you so far? Any resolutions that you’ll be breaking come February? Share in the comments.

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.

What I Wore: Tweed and Snakeskin

Finally got to take a photo of my new obsession – no, not the Joe Fresh snakeskin shirt (even though I do looove it). My new obsession is this simple, classic, and (me thinks) flattering tweed skirt from JACOB. It fits like a dream, looks great at the office, but doesn’t make me feel like I should be picking up my kids from soccer practice. You know what I mean? It’s still youthful, and work-appropriate…and I oh-so-love it!

Speaking of JACOB! In case you didn’t know, the store is having a Christmas Stocking Promotion! There are $290,000 in instant prizes (stuff like a wardrobe full of JACOB clothes, valued at $10,000!)  to be won at check-out at any store – all you have to do is print out a Christmas stocking from their site.

And if that wasn’t enough of an incentive, for each stocking brought in store, JACOB will donate $1 to Goodwill and Renaissance, non-profit organizations whose mission is to facilitate the social and occupational reintegration of women experiencing difficulties. For an additional chance to win a $10,000 wardrobe, all you have to do is share it with some friends. Sharing is caring, right? You can enter here: http://surprisesjacob.ca. And if you end up winning, don’t forget to share the love!

I Wore: Shirt – Joe Fresh; Skirt – Jacob; Necklace – Forever21; Leggings – Target; Boots – Proenza Schouler (The Room); Bag – Prada

What I Wore: Like a Lady

Wore this outfit to Media Profile’s Holiday Party (which was a blast!), and was really happy that I didn’t end up wearing a dress, like I planned. Because even in jeans and sweater – I was freezing! But all the goose bumps aside, I’m seriously loving my new Old Navy sweater – it’s so lady-like and proper, which isn’t exactly me, but as soon as I saw that it came in yellow stripes – I just couldn’t resist. Throw it together with some flared jeans, and the looks becomes less ladylike, and more…me. You like?

What I Wore: Faking It

Last weekend was brutal for me. I won’t go into details, but I feel exhausted this week, and it’s only TUESDAY! Plus, the rainy/crappy weather certainly isn’t helping.

The only positive of this temperature shift, is that I finally get to wear my beloved faux fur vest! And that’s about it.

Hope your weekend was more fun than mine! What did you do?

What I Wore: Addicted

I think I might be addicted to Old Navy. Their selection has been so good lately, and their prices are even better! And I just can’t stay away. Do I sound like a proper addict yet?

This coat is from…you guessed it…Old Navy, and my friend Stylish Jo, also has one. And I really, really love it! Oh, and I also got it at 50% off plus 30% off, so it was practically free. Free(ish) and cute? Yes, please!

What I Wore: It’s So Easy Being Green

Everyone, meet my favorite outfit ever! A little Club Monaco and Old Navy, with a sprinkle of Prada. Just the way (aha-aha) I like it.

These pants…oh, these pants! When le boyfriend doubted my sanity at Vaughan Mills’ Holts Last Call, I told him to just trust me, before I walked out rocking these babies*. And yet he still had no faith in Miuccia’s designs, or my choices. Pfft, pajama pants my foot!

Yes, these pants might resemble a certain sleeping garment, and yes, I had to alter them not once but twice to get the length just right…but all this effort is so worth it when I walk out of the house, and get admiring puzzled looks from strangers. It’s the best kind of compliment ever.

I Wore: Jacket – Club Monaco; Sweater – Old Navy; Pants, Clutch – Prada; Shoes – Nine West; Necklace – Forever21; Ring – YSL; Leather Bracelet – Danier

*To my international readers: “rocking these babies” doesn’t in any way imply rocking actual babies…it’s just another way to say “wearing these pants”, but in a more confusing manner. Kapish?

A combination of calf hair and multi-textured leather had me sold at first sight. Plus, le boyfriend loves them too…and that doesn’t happen too often!

And though I’m still gutted that summer is over…these babies will certainly make fall more enjoyable.

What I Wore: A Different Kind of Cougar

Well, well, well…last week, we got our first chilly reminder of what’s to come – cooler temps, followed by the rain, snow, and slush. Too much of a reality check for you? Me too.

At least, I finally got to wear my new Cougar Pillow Boots, without looking like a crazy person. They kept my feet so warm and comfy – pure bliss. Did you now Cougar re-released its now iconic Pillow Boot? Well, now you do! And this time around, these comfy kicks come in a variety of styles and colors to boot. What’s your fave? Let me know in the comments!

What I Wore: California Dreaming

By now, a lot of you know that while in LA, le bf popped the question on top of a ferris wheel at the Santa Monica Pier (I didn’t jump off). Even without the sweet proposal, I fell in love with Los Angeles, its amazing blue skies, the hills all around the city, the palm trees, the ocean, and the warmth of the sun on my face – every single day. It just doesn’t get better than this.

What I Wore: EXpress Yourself

Wore this little number to The Ex this year – comfortable and cute, just the way (aha, aha) I like it! Also wore my newest favorite piece of jewelry from Caroline Néron. The detailing on this exquisite necklace is so intricate…I have been wearing it with everything to everything, and get nothing but compliments. In case you didn’t know, Caroline is a Canadian actress turned jewelry designer. If you haven’t seen her pieces before, make sure to check out her website Bijoux Caroline Néron.

This year’s visit to The Ex was a lot of fun…as expected. We tried some fried cola (tastes like coke-flavored funnel cake), played lots of games (le bf won a pink Blah for me), and gorged on Tiny Tim’s Tom’s donuts. It’s amazing how much fun one can have shooting cork bullets at cans (fact: I have good aim), or pelting rubber chickens into pots.

Have you gone to The Ex this year? You still have a few days to get in on the EXcitement! Fried butter, anyone?

What I Wore: J.Crew

Inspired by J.Crew’s stylish President Jenna Lyons, I’ve decided to layer a light linen/cotton J.Crew sweater over a cream maxi dress for a mix of casual and (slightly) dressy. Then I decided to wear it to work…which was a big mistake – rolling my office chair all over the bottom of the skirt, getting the hem stuck in the wheels – not my idea of a productive work day. Thankfully, once my cubicle was out of sight, the outfit got a lot more comfortable. Lesson learned: office chair + maxi skirt = disaster waiting to happen.

Post on J.Crew’s launch party is coming soon! Stay tuned.
