What I Wore: Copycat

charlotte-olympia-jacob

Last Sunday, le bf and I took our amazing moms out to brunch at La Societe to celebrate Mother’s Day with yummy French Toast and Eggs Benny…because nothing says “I love you” like eggs and Nutella.

To mark the special occasion, I wore a pretty dress, paired with my fave kitty flats. And if my outfit looks strangely familiar to you…it might be due to the fact that I “borrowed” it from the lovely Alexa Chung. Only her dress was Valentino, and mine is from Jacob. That’s right…my outfit is decidedly more affordable AND (partially) Canadian. I mean, come on…I win, right? Right? Tell me I win and I’ll send you a cookie…it may or may not be fully baked and/or burned, but it’s the thought that counts, people!

What I Wore: Day and Night

h&m-tory-burch

Last weekend was so much fun, you guys! As some of you already know…I’ll be a wifey soon. And to celebrate the upcoming merriment, my dear friends threw me not one…but two bachelorette parties!

First, my lovely bridesmaid Aleyda organized a yummy brunch at MoRoCo, followed by manis/pedis at the nearby salon. It was a perfect afternoon of relaxation and pampering. I had an amazing time catching up with friends, sipping lattes, and opening gifts, which I was hoping would be naughty, but were very nice instead. My brunch attire matched the theme, and I wore a white peplum dress from H&M, accessorized with neon details, and my new fave purse from Tory Burch’s new Yorkdale outpost (which is a must visit!).

At night, however, things got decidedly less classy. My amazing blogger friends Richard and Marc organized and threw me an unforgettable Rihanna-Themed Bachelorette party, complete with naughty games, fun decor, and pièce de résistance dance party at Buddies in Bad Times. Trying to find my inner Rihanna, I ended up wearing my fave Zara fringe leather skirt, new neon necklace from H&M, and my most comfy Aldo booties, all topped off with a DIY flower crown. And yes, I probably looked more like a Coachella attendee, than RiRi…but there were plenty of RiRis at the party (*cough* Jay Strut *cough*), so I didn’t feel too bad.

The next morning, I felt amazing…slightly hungover…but still super thankful for the awesome people I have met over the years, people I call friends…the ones that turn even daily get-togethers into unforgettable memories. Thank you, my dear friends for all of your support, love, and encouragement! This weekend was one for the history books…ok, not for THE history books per se…but I’m certainly not going to forget it any time soon.

H&M Women Fall 2012 Lookbook

H&M-Fall-2012-Lookbook

As you all know already, I am a major H&M fangirl. Well, imagine my excitement at today’s Fall 2012 preview…and then multiply it by 1000, only then will you get my state of mind today while checking out fall arrivals. And though I still have to upload the photos I took today, I hope these lookbook images will tide you over until then.

I mean, there’s so much amazingness…that it almost makes me wish for fall. Actually, no…I take it back. It doesn’t make me wish for fall…it makes me wish that all of these pieces were available right NOW, so I could get my greedy paws on them. Like that bejeweled harness thingamajig, the leather peplum belt, every piece of jewelry in this lookbook, and so much more!

What do you think of H&M’s Fall 2012 lookbook? You like? Share in the comments.

What I Wore: Pale and Floral

mavi-red-jeans

Received these cute (and super comfy) Mavi Floral Red Jeans in the mail last week…I guess the news of my crazy pants addiction travel fast, huh? Well, if that means more ~~crazy~~ fun pants added to my wardrobe, than I don’t mind it one bit.

Don’t be fooled by this outfit…last weekend (when I wore it) wasn’t really warm enough for bare arms yet, but it sure was warm enough for some photos with my jacket off. This weekend however…oh, this weekend, I am baring my arms and legs…for realsies! Unless the weather people lied again, which they have been known to do…in which case, you’ll be spared from seeing my neon WHITE skin. Positive thinking, people! It’s a thing.

Speaking of my ghastly complexion…Should I try one of those spray tan booths before my wedding? I don’t want to end up like Anne Hathaway’s character in that horrid Bride Wars movie…but I also don’t want to look like this either…What to do, folks? If you have any tan-related advice…or crazy pants suggestions…please let me know!

I Wore: Shirt – H&M; Jeans – c/o Mavi; Bag – Prada; Shoes – Zara; Bracelets – FAA H&M; Necklace – Forever 21; Sunglasses – Ray Ban

Pineapple Bags, etc.

Bought this H&M Pineapple Bag the other day, and while carrying it home (sans shopping bag), I caught many a-puzzled looks directed at me, or my bag, or the fact that I was also wearing kitty flats, or all of the above. Moral of the story: buying a pineapple bag is the first step to becoming world-famous. So get to it!

What do you think? Would you ever wear one?

anna-dello-russo-hm-2012

Have you heard yet??? Anna Dello Russo is collaborating with my fave fast-fashion retailer H&M! Don’t you just love waking up to good news? Judging from the sneak peek photos - the accessory collection will be full of GOLD, GOLD, and more GOLD! And I honestly love it so much! Available from October 4th, 2012, in around 140 stores worldwide and online, the collection will feature jewelry, sunglasses, shoes, bags and a carry-on “allowing H&M customers uniqueness at an affordable price”.

“I am excited by this collaboration: this is the first time H&M has involved a fashion director in a special project. This is the sign of an important evolution in fashion, and I am both thrilled and humbled to be the one chosen to lead it. I wanted to create precious accessories that are impossible to find. As a stylist, I know accessorization is essential; it is the personal touch in any outfit. With these pieces, everybody can have fun, and turn an ordinary day into a fantastic fashion day”, says Anna Dello Russo.

What I Wore: Flow

Sade – Flow

…

Is it possible I could feel this cool
I could really love you the way I do
Is it possible I could feel this good
I could really love you the way I do

See me (Within the light)
Flowing (Take me to you)
Like the river to the sea
You come down (I’m in the light)
You cover (Pull me to you)
And the waves rush over me

I feel a love light rush over me
I feel the love turn to me
And then your love just creeps over me
Over me

What I Wore: Childish

zara-floral-pants-pastel

As we’re bracing ourselves for wind, snow, and slush…I thought I’d share one of my recent spring looks. The pastel floral pattern of these Zara jeans reminds me of children’s clothing for some reason, but I really don’t mind. In fact, I think I really love these jeans. Childish, or not.

I also love my new minty fresh H&M sweater. The open knit is easy and light enough to wear on cool summer nights…all summer long. IF it ever shows up that is.

Hope you had a great weekend, lovelies. Now excuse me, while I go dig out my parka out of the garbage bin.

hm-fashion-against-aids-lookbook-2-2012

In less than a week (on April 26th), H&M’s Fashion Against AIDS 2012 collection will hit the stores, and I seriously can’t wait. Full of colorful tribal prints and fun accessories, with a portion of proceeds going towards a very important cause, this collection should be on everyone’s summer must-buy list.

Do you like this year’s (fifth!) FAA collection? Which pieces are on your wishlist? Share in the comments.

What I Wore: Casual

stuart-weitzman-capsize

Sometimes all you need is a great pair of shoes. That’s all. No matter how casual the rest of your look is…throw on some amazing shoes, and you’re good to go. That’s what happened last weekend…lazy outfit instantly upgraded by a pair of lovely pumps.

These Stuart Weitzman Capsize pumps are everything I wanted in a spring shoe - perfect pastel pink color, metallic pointy toe, and a sturdy heel. Oh, and they come in “salad green” color too…which I might just have to go out and buy…because, HELLO! They are so pretty!

What I Wore: Boyfriend Jeans

boyfriend-jeans

Summer was here for a minute, and now the cooler temperatures are here to stay for a bit…or at least that’s what the unreliable weatherpeople tell us. So last week, as the last hurrah, I tried to wear as many summery outfits as possible, including a pair of my trusty boyfriend jeans. They are probably the most comfy pair I own…and I love wearing them both to bum around the house, and out to dinner. They are so versatile! I also threw on my new mint-colored tee from Zara to add a pop of pastels to my outfit. It’s not for everyone, but I think I kinda like it.

What I Wore: Dots, Stripes, and Velvet

h&m-dotted-pants

Here’s what I wore last weekend to Blogger Brunch at Hotel Le Germain in Toronto hosted by the lovely Marta of With Love Gabrielle, where I indulged in some yummy drinks and food, made new blogger friends, and had an amazing time.

After brunch, I changed my shoes, threw my leather jacket on the couch, and went for a lovely neighborhood walk with le bf, soaking up the sunshine like a sponge. And it was spectacular!

What I Wore: Taste The Rainbow

toronto-fashion-week-9

This is my outfit from Day 4 of Toronto Fashion Week (worn with a black Joe Fresh trench coat on top because it was bloody freezing). But my new pink skirt from Danier Leather’s OBJECT line is so worth a few goosebumps…am I right, or am I right? I also busted out my (also) new OBJECT clutch in neon green, which I simply adore and le bf heartily endorses. He actually told me that he likes it! (Which happens once in a…NEVER!) And last, but certainly not least…I wore a metal collar necklace from H&M. And I can’t tell you how many people asked me where I got it…but A LOT of people did.

So there you have it, folks…a little Canadian flare, mixed in with some low budget finds, and my future wedding shoes equals my fave outfit in a long while. Oh, and there’s peplum too!

What do you think? Let me know in the comments.
