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.

What I Wore: Flare Magazine Blogger Style Spring Shoes

Flare Magazine Spring Shoe Feature

Exciting news, lovelies! Yours truly, along with a bunch of amazing Canadian bloggers was featured in Flare Magazine’s Blogger Style Spring Shoe post! After being asked to rock my fave pair of spring kicks for the feature, I needed less than a second to decide which pair to actually wear…and if you’ve been reading long enough, you already know the answer to my non-dilemma – my dearest Charlotte Olympia Kitty flats!

After months of lusting after these adorable flats, I bit the bullet and picked them up at The Room at The Bay, and have been dying to wear them ever since. As you can see, my spring shoot, included piles of snow behind me, so in reality I still have not worn these kitties out. But soon enough, I will be wearing them all over town…all the time. Le bf still looks on in disbelief, unsure whether to call me a crazy cat lady, or just crazy. But what does he know?

So what about you? Do you have a fave spring shoe that you simply cannot wait to bust out of your shoe closet? If so, do tell!

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*

I Wore: Sweater, Jeggings - Old Navy; Faux Fur Vest – Winners; Boots – Aldo; Bag – Prada; Necklace – Forever21

What I Wore: Bundled Up

Most winter days, I have to fight with my own body in order to get dressed…I just never seem to be up to the dask of wearing actual clothes when it’s cold outside. All I want to do is stay under my duvet, wearing the comfiest of pjs, and if it was socially acceptable, I would probably wear my duvet outside of the house 5 days out of 7…just like this fancy lady.

Well, this Old Navy sweater is the closest I will ever get to wearing a duvet outside of the house. It is the coziest thing ever, and I simply love being wrapped in it…snug and comfy without venturing into the precarious Snuggie/Snuggle territory. Pretty cute, right?

So what about you? How do you deal with clothing anxiety in the winter? Or am I the only one suffering from it? Let me know in the comments.

I Wore: Wrap Sweater – Old Navy; Jeans – 7 For All Mankind (c/o SeCe Apparel); Boots – Mel by Melissa; Gloves – Danier Leather; Hat – H&M; 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: Color Explosion

This is what I wore this Saturday to IKEA. Colorful pants, colorful top, and a red coat to top it off. Might be a bit too much for some, but I’ve never been one to shy away from of a ~~little~~ lot of color.

How was your weekend?

I Wore: Coat, Jeans – c/o Old Navy; Top – H&M; Necklace – Forever21; Rain Boots – Mel (Urban Outfitters); Bag – Prada; Sunglasses – Ray Ban

Old Navy Spring 2012 Preview

First things first. How awesome do these two look? Last week, when I stopped by the Banana Republic/Gap/Old Navy Spring 2012 preview, I seriously contemplated mugging them in the nearest dark alley…not for their money, silly! For their clothes, of course!

Well, it’s all from Banana Republic/Gap/Old Navy! And I’m loving it. It’s always super exciting for me to see spring arrivals, especially when they are bright, sunshiny, and make me forget about the cold, dreary months ahead. Can we just skip them altogether…or something? Unfortunately, we can’t.

But no matter, these Old Navy Spring 2012 pieces immediately take me away to a tropical destination, where I can frolick in my printed short shorts, ruffled floral maxis, gorge snakeskin-printed loafers, and so much more! Really, this entire post is for my own selfish benefit – I am, afterall, trying to shop for my honeymoon in May! And these Old Navy pieces seriously could not be more perfect. Luckily for me, most of them will be available by March. Hooray!

What I Wore: Let the Rain Fall Down

You know, funny thing happened as I got older (and presumably, wiser) – I learned that sometimes, it makes sense to dress sensibly. I no longer NEED to wear the highest of heels during the winter months (I’m not in Texas anymore). I have learned (from many mistakes) that leather boots get ruined after just one season of salty slush, while simultaneously failing to provide any kind of warmth – especially, once said salty slush has somehow eaten away at the leather, letting the freezing water sneak its way into my socks. Thanks, but no thanks.

So last winter, I stuck to my Cougar rain boots all winter long. That’s right rubber boots in the winter. It’s true – they aren’t the warmest. But throw in a pair of wool socks, and you’ve got a pair of waterproof winterized boots! This winter, I am planning to wear rain boots a lot, so I figured I should get a dressier pair…and then…

…I saw them. Mel rain boots. Cute as a can be, ankle-length, and comfy to boot! Perfect with dresses, skinny jeans…pretty much anything, really. I don’t ever want to take these off…well, except for when I sleep…maybe.

What about you? What’s your go-to cold weather footwear? Share in the comments.

What I Wore: Grey, Red, and Sunny

How amazing was the weather this weekend? It’s middle of November, and I didn’t have to wear a coat! It just doesn’t get much better than this…in Toronto.

On top of enjoying the sunshine, I spent some time with my ~~girlfriends~~ bridesmaids, going over wedding details, watching Bridesmaids, and eating cheesecake. Best weekend ever? I think so!

How was yours?

I Wore: Sweater – Vero Moda (Winners); Red Jeans – Old Navy; Boots – Proenza Schouler; Scarf – H&M; Bag – Prada; Sunglasses – Ray Ban

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: The Last Hurrah

This is the final LGFW outfit, which I probably should’ve blogged weeks ago, but I didn’t. It was one of those days when I had to wear something work-appropriate, since I had to run to the tents right after work – et voila!

This Moon Apparel dress has been getting quite a lot of action lately – in print, and online, and I too can attest to its wearability, and general awesomeness. Hands down, my favorite work dress ever. Also, for the very first time on the blog – my precious Alberto Guardiani lipstick pumps. So cute…and yet…so uncomfortable! They even hurt my feet while I was SITTING DOWN! Ouch! For now, I’ll chalk that up to having to break them in still…Plus, what’s a ~~lot~~ little bit of pain, when the shoes are that cute! Right? Right???

As for LGFW…more reviews are coming soon! Stay tuned.

I Wore: Coat – c/o Old Navy; Dress – Moon; Belt, Tights – H&M; Shoes – Alberto Guardiani; Clutch – Prada; Sunglasses – Ray Ban

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?

What I Wore: Red Hot

Well, LGFW is done and over with…for now. And I am happy to report that I have survived the waiting around, the dehydration, the pushing and the shoving, and the seat stealing. Phew! Weather was pretty sucky last week, so I don’t have too many photos to share with you. Bad blogger, I know.

Making its blog debut is my OBJECT by George Antonopoulos for Danier shirt with leather sleeves. It literally goes with everything…such an awesome purchase! Can’t wait to see what George will come up with for spring!

I also wore these J.Crew lookalike pants that cost me a whopping $11! Yup, you read it right…eleven dollars. The coat was a gift from the Old Navy dream team…and I seriously love it so much! It was tough to choose just one…especially since they have another one available in…wait for it…leopard print! But I resisted the leopard-urge, and picked up this red car coat instead. You like?

More LGFW pics and reports coming soon!

What I Wore: She’s Got Flare!

Have you been to Old Navy lately? I am really loving their fall offerings! From breezy $18 tops, to flared jeans for all of $25, I think if it wasn’t for my Proenza booties, this outfit could actually be purchased for less than $50! Not bad, huh?

Right now, I am waiting for a leopard print Old Navy coat to go on sale (I have a wedding budget to adhere to!)…and then my leopard print-ness will literally drive le boyfriend crazy. As the saying goes: you can take a Russian girl out of ~~Russia~~ Kyrgyzstan, but you can’t take the leopard print away from her…or something like that.

I Wore: Shirt, Jeans – Old Navy; Bag – c/o Banana Republic; Belt – Zara; Boots – Proenza Schouler; Leather Bracelet – c/o Danier; Sunglasses – Ray Ban
