Layered Mini
Hey guys, I know that I've been short on words in the past few posts and it's just a reflection of how I've been feeling lately. I don't want to force what just isn't there. I haven't felt very inspired to write so I choose not to. It's like I hit something of a creative dry spell and I haven't done anything interesting lately to get myself out of it (i.e. theatre, opera, art show)....nada. ...
Cozy Monday
Hi fashionistas, One of my favourite things about the winter season is being able to feel truly cozy. The extreme discomfort of being outside in the snowstorm or freezing-rain is offset by the satisfying feeling of getting out of this dreadful weather. As I'm enjoying my summer, the thoughts of impermanence creep into my mind with the reminder of the inevitable winter to come. It is ...
Green Panther
Hello lovlies, When going out last night I felt like wearing something coquettish and feminine, so I wore a silk top with a high-waisted bubble skirt. But when putting the look together, it felt like the two pieces alone weren't enough. I wanted to give it an edge and that wow-factor; I basically needed a statement piece to complete it. I chose the Mawi necklace for this task for a number of ...
Gloves
When I was growing up, all we had was mittens Those fluffy simple things that keep you hands so warm Functional and modest, a mitt is just a mitt! But gloves, my fashionistas are swanky Do admit.

Military style meets Bohemian
Hello, Today's look-of-the-day features a fusion of styles and inspirations. I put this together by first determining what piece I wanted to wear most. This Stella McCartney, military style wool jacket sprang to mind; its silhouettes possesses elements of strictness and rigidity while the pinkish lace trim softens it with a feminine flare. I love wearing this jacket with a dress, which further ...
Coco Before Chanel
Hello the fashion-curious, As you might have guessed, I watched the movie "Coco Before Chanel" (2009) last night. It is so relevant to the subject of this blog and I found it to be so inspirational that I decided to dedicate this look-of-the-day entry to "Coco" Chanel. I don't want to ruin the film for those who haven't seen it yet, but this woman's life story and achievements are ...
Beaded Dresses
Those Irresistible Beaded Dresses The nature of the fashion industry as a business, and consumer economy in general, demands that fashion trends are in a constant state of change. Most of us haven’t even had time to buy those boyfriend jeans and they are already on their way out. I have long abandoned the notion that keeping up with what’s “in” can be satisfying for a fashionista. ...
Tuesday Time
Dear Readers, It's Tuesday, November 24. It might seem like I'm only stating the obvious and of course I am, but sometimes I have these minor epiphanies when my mind forces me to acknowledge the exact date as a way of contextualizing my presence in a place in time. Other than these periodic "check-ins" I hardly think about the significance of the passage of a given temporal mark, like a week ...
