What I’m Wearing: Check Yourself

 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 am Wearing: Boots – Aldo; Top, Jeans, Ring – H&M; Blazer – Zara; Scarf – Ralph Lauren; Bag – Louis Vuitton; Necklace – Urban Outfitters

Friday Faux Pas: Ralph Lauren Ads

Oops, looks like Ralph Lauren did it again! I am not sure what their marketing department is smoking, but it’s obviously clouding their judgement! If the point of these ads is to make people never want to buy Ralph Lauren clothes again, then mission accomplished. Seriously, this is not even a human body anymore…they should’ve just used a Barbie doll for these ads, and it’d look much more realistic than this! I mean, seriously…it’s Ralph Lauren! Couldn’t they hire some professionals to photoshop their ads??? Because frankly, this looks like a joke. Look at the hand holding the clutch. See it? It’s almost the same width as her hip! Is that normal in Ralph’s world? And if they fired 5′10” – 120 lbs model Filippa Hamilton for being too fat, they really need to reasses the company’s values. Who exactly are they trying to clothe? Stick insects? And here I thought that this incident was a freak accident. Apparently not. How many more are out there?

Happy Thanksgiving from Ralph Lauren!

This image of a photoshopped Ralph Lauren model has been making headlines all over the blogosphere, and while we’ll never know why the people at Ralph Lauren would ever think that having a head bigger than one’s waist is stylish (if this pic is real), I do know that my waistline will be nowhere near small this weekend! With a wedding tomorrow, Cheesecake Factory trip on Sunday, and Thanksgiving on Monday, tis the season of eating a lot! Hey, it’s getting colder, so we all need an extra layer of fat! Right? So with this, I hope my Canadian readers have a very Happy (and tasty) Thanksgiving! And if you’re in the States, Happy Columbus Day to you! And for everyone else…have a wonderful weekend and don’t forget to bundle up!
