Lets Sail Away
Ay, Ay Sailors, I hope you guys all had an amazing weekend. You want to know what I did? I spent the entire time watching Dexter and got through over two seasons. The show is so addictive that it turns you into a degenerate in no time :). Considering that I don't even have cable, it feels strange for me to commit so much time to a tv series. I've always been more of a film buff (I even ...
Everything Belted
Hello my lovelies, It's Saturday! I hope you're all enjoying your weekend so far. I just came back from having brunch at this cute little restaurant on Baldwin St. in Toronto, called Cafe La Gaffe. For my brother, Taras, eating out for brunch is his favorite pastime so we end up doing a lot of that - to indulge both him and our morning appetites. Over the past two years Cafe La Gaffe has ...
My Maxi Dress and my Little Bodyguard
Hello my darlings, Today's look of the day is taken from my summer trip to St. Petersburg. We did a lot of touristy things when we were there, which is only right considering that it's one of the cultural capitals of the world. In these pictures we were visiting the Cruiser Aurora Museum and the Central Artillery Museum. Umm, ships and tanks, how fascinating! There are few things in the world ...
Something Blue and Bright Balloons
Hey guys, I'm falling a bit behind again with my daily posts so today's look-of-the-day is going to be another throw back to this summer. I celebrated my 26th birthday in Moscow last August and I chose this dress by Oktober for my special day. The detail of the pleated silk, the elaborate bodice, and the built in metal brooch make it one of my favorite couture dresses to wear. Considering how ...
Carmen in Black
Hello my fashionista friends, I just came back from seeing Carmen - an opera at the Canadian Opera Company (COC). I have seen Carmen about 5 times in the past: a few times in St. Petersburg, a few times in Moldova, and once before in Toronto. Because of my previous experience and considering that Carmen is one of the most popular and recognizable operas of all time I sort of assumed that the ...
Does length matter?
Hey guys, Today's look-of-the-day is once again predominantly silk and satin but it also brings us to a new topic. Today is my first time wearing this coat-dress by Noir primarily because of its length. Just out of curiosity I tried it on a few days ago with my Miu Miu skirt but after a quick glance in the mirror the "length theory" was confirmed. Length does matter when it comes to creating ...
Pockets & Dresses
Hello fashionistas everywhere, Considering how late I'm posting this look-of-the-day that it's more of a "look-of-the-night" than anything, but who is paying attention anyways... Better late than never right? I am kind of going through some shaky personal stuff at the moment so I was "preoccupied" during the day; my mind wasn't on fashion or dress-up. But I still love both of those things and ...
Inspired Sunday
Hi hi, I'm having a regular chill Sunday but this morning I felt something unusual in the air. I'm not sure what brought it on, probably just the good sleep, but I wanted to do something special with my look today. I bought this Miu Miu skirt on ebay about a year ago and never got a chance to wear it because I had a hard time finding something worthy to pair it with. When thinking about ...
Pearl + Dot
Hello, Today's look-of-the-day is from my first trip to St. Petersburg, Russia. No, it was actually more than just that - it was my very first trip to Russia ever. After the first day of site-seeing I was in complete awe of its beauty and splendour. The architecture and the the scenery is so impressive that you quickly become overwhelmed and immersed in it all. I even found that the city ...
Fur or Faux
Hey guys, I was hesitant in making a look-of-the-day post on the subject of fur because of all the ethical concerns surrounding it. As a person who obviously owns a fur coat I am not going to make any grand statements about where you should stand on the issue; all I can do is speak from experience. Personally I now feel that the perks of a fur coat (its softness, warmth, comfort, and look) ...
