I’ve been really into boho maxis lately but today’s Tibi dress is definitely one of my favorites. I love its grecian-inspired elements (particularly the neckline) and the loose, relaxed silhouette. Wearing this dress today made me feel like a greek mythology characters. It’s so long and flowy that it looks more like you’re gliding through air then walking. How very ethereal… It’s amazing how a single dress can effect your mood and the way you feel.

chain reaction
My Olympus was acting unusually capricious last night, so I’ll have to take pictures of that look at another time (probably tomorrow).
my take on cubism
I’m going to an opera tonight to see “The Flying Dutchman,” which I’m pretty excited about. I’m not wearing this to the opera however. I like to take full advantage of any opportunity to ‘really’ dress-up because unfortunately they don’t come around that often; there are only ‘so many’ weddings and galas a girl gets invited to in a year, right? So no, I have something quite different planned for tonight, the pictures of which I will post tomorrow.
bow flow
The wind posed a serious challenge to my picture-taking experience today because the bow, which is arguably the focal point of this look, just wouldn’t stay in place. What you are seeing here is not exactly what I had envisioned in terms of the dress’s silhouette and composition of the pictures. I was thinking of cleaner, more defined lines which is what I saw in the mirror at home. Under the influence of the wind, the shape of this loose a-line dress and the bow became unidentifiable. Lol, surprisingly nature has no regard for my ‘artistic vision’ (note the sarcasm please). Anyway, “all is well that ends well.” Even though my plan was undermined I’m quite content with the result, especially because I got a chance to wear my new Marni tweed platforms.
my Cuban gingerbread men
I realize that I’m making this post a little late but I’m sticking by that old ‘better late then never’ cliche. If I had to single out my favourite part of today’s look it would be my ‘gingerbread men’ necklace that I bought on my last vacation in Cuba. Admittedly, from a craftsmanship perspective, there isn’t much to it but I think it embodies that Cuban warmth and charm that is so inherent in their culture. I love this necklace for the very reason others might have passed it by – its primitiveness or even immaturity. It may be simple in appearance but it’s loaded with vibrancy. I think its colour emanates with such intensity and festivity.
