Last weekend, it felt like Spring finally showed its sunny face, and it made me (and thousands of others) so very happy! After spending half a day at home doing meaningless boring stuff (laundry, cleaning, etc.), my cousin and I went for a walk in a park – High Park. The weather was chilly, the pond still frozen, but people still came out in droves to enjoy some sunshine and fresh air. If there’s one thing I love about Toronto, is that people here really do appreciate good weather. Not one sunny day goes wasted. When I lived in Houston, where sunny days are dime a dozen, I’ve spent more days than I care to admit, at the mall or somewhere else indoors, not knowing that one day, when I move to Canada, those days will be missed dearly. Will never make that mistake again.

Meet Lilly. Lilly is the girl I ran into while waiting in line at Fran’s. The first thing I noticed about her outfit is, of course, her coat. I’ve been into this trend for a while now, and seeing someone young and stylish rocking an animal print in such a casual way – I just had to stop her for a picture! Next thing I noticed were her awesome cuffed motorcycle booties – a piece I’ve been looking for forever! Her lovely Miu Miu bag, which looks worn in but not worn out (the same cannot be said about my Miu Miu), and her infectious smile complete the outfit. What are your thoughts on Lilly’s style?

This weekend was a bit of a write-off. With Canada playing Team USA, there couldn’t possibly be anything else on the agenda. So I woke up late, had brunch at Fran’s, spotted and snapped a photo of a girl wearing a leopard print coat, looking very cute (pics coming soon), and made Churros for le boyfriend and I (drenched in banana dulce de leche!). All in all sort of a semi-blah weekend, except for THE game, of course. And despite all this do-nothing-ness, I am still tired and semi-conscious this morning. Why, oh why, must Mondays be so gruelling?
PS. Renaming this section into “What I Wore” instead of “What I’m Wearing”…the grammar of it has been bugging me for a while, and I am finally changing it. Horray for being grammatically correct!

Some people, they just have it. That certain je ne sais quoi. It makes sense that they are in fashion, because they embody it. Like Viviana Volpicella. Nothing about Viviana’s style feels forced to me. The woman can wear mustard like noone else. She can mix the craziest colors together, and not end up looking like a 5-year old. She can even wear heart-shaped sunglasses, without looking like a dimwit…which let’s face it, 99% of people with those sunglasses look like dimwits. Viviana has a style that is undeniably her own, which clearly helps if you work for Vogue Nippon! And with that killer smile of hers, it looks like she’s loving every minute of it.

It was a relatively cold day for Cuba. Maybe under 20 degrees Celsius! Plus cloudy, windy, etc. So I really had to hold on to my hat for most of our day in Havana to prevent it from flying away. But my new H&M Men’s tee was perfect for such a day. Long sleeves that roll up, yet with enough volume not to be too hot when it got sunny. Plus it’s…that’s right…it’s striped! I know, I know…I need help.
And the shoes…I really don’t get it. I’ve worn these sandals in Rome, Paris, Sorrento, Mexico, Toronto…everywhere…and they’ve always been nothing but comfortable! Yet this time around, I had to stop a few times, just to let my blisters feet get some rest. What gives? Is it time to throw these babies out? I don’t think I am ready yet.

Well, if there’s one good thing about the TTC (I can also name a lot of bad ones), it would be spotting cool-dressed people riding it! Like Claire. Awesome army surplus jacket, colorful plaid scarf, orange nails, cool glasses, and a French accent. Does it get any cooler than that? To me, this is perfect.

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!

Don’t usually feel this way, but I felt decidedly girlie the other day. Hence the floral skirt, pearl earrings, and bow necklace. I love playing dress-up in my closet once in a while. It used to be way more often (like a few times a day), but now…with all work and no play, dress-up takes a back seat. Which is kinda sad.
Oh, and I bought yet another Breton-striped shirt. I think this is officially a full-blown obsession…I have over 10 very similar striped tops (cropped, tank, tee, long sleeve, long sleeve dress, 3/4 sleeve, and a few others)…and I still have an eye on one more at H&M. Do I need an intervention?

I’ve only been gone 4 days, but it feels like forever! That’s what being in Texas does to a girl. Some of you might know that I’ve spent a few of my college years in Houston, and out of those 4 or so years came a lot of friendships that will hopefully last a lifetime. Well, last weekend one of my dearest friends, Jen, got married to the love of her life Joe. And to celebrate that wonderful occasion, le boyfriend and I flew to Texas! Unfortunately for us, no carry-ons were allowed on flights from Canada to the US at the time, and perhaps due to my horrendous “luck” with baggage, ours was lost somewhere in Atlanta, which meant almost 3 days (out of 4), including the wedding, without our clothes. Rock and roll, right?
Well, after much stress and frustration, we went shopping and I finally was able to find these hot Aldo cage sandals in my size and on sale! I also bought a tweed Zara blazer, a one-shoulder Zara dress, and a few other items that I’ll be posting about later on. These pics were taken on our last day in Houston, after we’ve received our luggage. So it’s really a mix of what I brought with me with the items I had to buy out of necessity.
Note that the weather is…beautiful! This was taken on January 11th! While it was frigid and snowy in Toronto, le boyfriend and I frolicked in the sunshine, not wearing much clothes at all! And all those Texans still complained about the cold! Had I never moved to Canada, perhaps I wouldn’t appreciate those sunny days either…But I did move, and I did appreciate. Sunny days, delicious food, Southern hospitality, even if you only have one pair of underwear…what can be better?

I promised that I wouldn’t do one of those “Best and Worst of 2009″ posts, but I just cannot resist announcing Style Blog’s favorite Style Fille – Diane Kruger! I love her style on her days off, I love her style on the red carpet, I love her style walking around with her lovely boyfriend…I just find it…effortless, which to me, means a whole lot more than put together, flawless, or whatever else. Kruger and Jackson are also my favorite Holly-couple of the year (the way he looks at her…ooh la la!), and Diane was in one of my favorite movies of the year too – The Inglourious Basterds. Safe to say, she had one fabulous year! And to commemorate that, here is a walk down a memory lane in my fave photos of Diane and Joshua.

Who doesn’t love a sale? I sure do! Once the pieces that I’ve wanted for a while and didn’t allow myself to buy go on sale, the regular rules of Shopoholics Anonymous do not apply. Common sense, really.
Got these great, comfy skinny black jeans with studded pockets at H&M and I am loving them! The waist is slightly higher than I am used to, but in the winter I am not about to bear my stomach anyways, so it works. And as you can see, I’ve been addicted to my H&M circular scarf too. It’s the perfect cozy winter accessory. And lately, I am all about the cozy.

Jo and I are like two long-lost sisters that were separated at birth. Somehow, whatever Jo buys I already have and vice versa. We think alike when it comes to clothes and accessories, which makes it fun for those around us…plus those jerks get to make fun of us when we dress like twins (unintentionally).
Last Friday, Jo wore a furry cardigan that she picked up on her wedding trip to Hong Kong, and it sort of looks like the fuzzy dress I’ve wanted from H&M, which I bought the same day on sale! Needless to say, I loved it at first sight! Coupled with awesome jewelry (peep golden teeth on her ears), minty green nails, and her brand new Frye boots…it was an outfit made in eclectic heaven! Thanks for being an inspiration, Jo!

If you haven’t been to Aldo Liquidation store on Yonge St. in a while, I seriously urge you to check it out! There are amazing deals to be had. Like my new kicking boots. Ok, fine, they aren’t really kicking boots, but I can imagine myself saving a granny from a purse snatcher, chasing the bad guy down and kicking him with my beautiful new boots, that I got for a fraction of the original price. Smart and kick-ass!
When I bought these, I didn’t think that they’d be too comfortable, seeing how they are 5000 inches tall. But to my surprise, I felt great walking in them…bouncy even! I think it’s due to the thick-ish rubber soles. It’s like tires for feet! Needless to say, Sunday brunch at Cora’s was a huge success…all thanks to my new boots!

So I wore my Wolf sweater for the first time last weekend. And though nothing magical happened that day, I am sure one of these days the power of the wolf will show itself! Until then, I love the softness of it, and le boyfriend likes that it’s a men’s sweater, hence he can borrow it when he feels particularly silly. Magical and versatile!
