sunday leisure

lida — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 02:38:55 +0000

I spent this Sunday picnicking with my family. The weather was so gorgeous that I had to put my studying plans on hold for some of that California goodness. I love pairing relaxed maxis with statement jewellery – it’s my go-to combination for casual-chic looks.

What I’m wearing:

Silk maxi dress by Rory Beca
Heels by Marciano
Silk scarf with crystals by Chan Luu (last seen here)
Bracelet by Burberry (last seen here)
Purse by Francesco Biasia (last seen here)

oldies but goodies

lida — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 20:49:10 +0000

We’ve all heard the saying, “fashion goes in cycles.” Well, there are certain posts that I’m not quite ready to let go of so I decided to create a new category. I’m calling it Oldies but Goodies. Basically, once a week I will be resurrecting one of my favorite looks from the past for your viewing pleasure.

What I’m wearing:

Silk blouse by Alberta Ferretti
Skirt by PINKO
Pumps by L.A.M.B
Bag by Renato Angi Venezia
Silver multi-chain bracelet
Long silver leaf necklace

Marc Jacobs Rolls Royce Clutch Giveaway

lida — Sat, 17 Dec 2011 06:21:14 +0000

Now that exams and out of the way and I’m officially on break, I can finally resume my FashionistaTalk responsibilities. I feel a little guilty for neglecting them the last couple of weeks, so hopefully this giveaway will help smooth things over . We’ll see. This month’s giveaway is a whimsical, suede Marc Jacobs Rolls Royce Clutch. It seems like such a sly throwback to a bygone era that I find it charming and smart. The retail value of the clutch is $925. The giveaway is open to everyone and will close on Jan. 31’11. Good luck my lovelies.

striped hats

lida — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 17:13:36 +0000

Here is another post of sailor-girl styling. This time, the nautical stripes come in red-and-white as well. This Tracy Watts hat is fun and light, but the moment you let it go it covers the entire face. I might have to pin it next time.

What I’m wearing:

Hat by Tracy Watts
Bikini by Salinas
Bag by Sisley (last seen here)
Tank top by We Don’t Speak No

strictly bloggy

lida — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 05:58:05 +0000

I’m back in school now (among palm trees), learning about the parol evidence rule and indemnification actions – titillating stuff . These shots were taken in my parent’s backyard during the sweet days of my break. I packed very little with me on my trip home, so I had to put this look together out of some random items found around the house. I call this my “Strictly Bloggy Look.”

What I’m wearing:

Long cashmere turtleneck by Robert Rodriguez (last seen in Jan. 11’11)
Bag by Juicy Couture
Tights (gift from St. Petersburg)
Fur scarf (from my mom’s closet)
My reading glasses

flying high

lida — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 16:11:56 +0000

I never thought I would say this, but as much as I loved my Cuba vacation, it’s truly nice to be back. I have tons of looks and stories from my trip to share with you guys and I’ll have to pace myself by spreading them out over multiple posts. In fact, there will be so many vacation outfit ideas that I’ve decided to dedicate a full category on Fahionista Talk to them. The category will be called Resort and it will house all posts related to tropical-vacations.

This little silk jumpsuit is what I wore for the 3.5 hour flight to Cuba. If I was stuck on the plane any longer I might have regretted wearing a one-piece garment; they are not exactly easy to manage in small confinements…(if you know what mean ). I also kept my black asymmetrical cardigan close by at all times, which kept me cozy and warm when needed.

Some more tips for flying smart and in style:

* Pack most essential and precious items into your carry on. I’ve been doing this for as long as I can remember and it has alleviated a lot of the worry around delayed and lost luggage. Don’t forget to include at least one of your favorite bikinis in the mix.

* Bring wetnaps

* Pack at least half as many bikinis as there are days in your vacation. Not only is it simply more fun this way, but the variety in fit and coverage will minimize bikini lines.

To be Continued…

*The winners of the both giveaways will be announced tonight. Good luck dear fashionistas!

What I’m wearing:

Carry on bag by “Coach”
Silk jumpsuit by ‘Firetrap”
Leather sandals by “Via Spiga”
Silver necklace
Silk bra by “The Lake & Stars”

We Love Colors

lida — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 16:55:48 +0000

The team of We Love Colors sent me this cute summer dress to style for my dear readers. While I kept this look in the navy and white colour scheme, the possibilities for styling such a dress are endless; especially considering that – as the name implies – We Love Colors offers an amazing variety of colour choices for every items they carry. How fun!

I found this zebra dress to be super comfortable and stretchy but also quite see-though actually, so I think it would be most practically worn over a bikini, leggings, or with a long jacket such as mine.

What I’m wearing:

Jacket by “Proenza Schouler” (last seen in Jan. 19’10)
Zebra mini dress c/o “We Love Colors”
Nude heels by “Elie Tahari” (last seen in June 17’10)
Sunglasses by “MARNI” (last seen in Mar. 30’10)
Bag by “Calvin Klein”
Necklace by “Clotilde Silva” (last seen in Jan. 20’10)
Silver multi-strand bracelet (last seen in Jun. 19’10)

and the winner of the Dooney & Bourke handbag is…

Patent It!

lida — Wed, 03 Mar 2010 00:18:17 +0000

I really patented-it-up for this look-of-the-day. I’ve been waiting to wear this jacket for a while now and today’s decent weather finally permitted the materialization of my modest desire. I generally love large, high collars and I especially appreciate well-constructed ones that stay up as intended. The texture of the patent leather allows the collar on this jacket to stay in place regardless of how high you want it. I paired it with high, patent leather gloves, as I had done in the Gloves video. Once I decided to complete the look with the patent, Pierre Hardy boots, I kept the rest of the garments simple. The shine of patent leather was enough of a statement in itself so I went with a plain sweater and jeans to balance out the glam. That is basically all there’s to my ‘patent’ story .

I wore this outfit for a sushi-lunch (on Queen St.) with a friend that I hadn’t seen in years.

p.s. Thank you for the sweet emails. Your support means a lot to me.
