*There are only two days left to enter the Tibi dress giveaway. I’ve noticed that some eager beavers entered their name more then once but, in the interest of keeping things fair, only the the first entry will count. Good luck lovelies!

What I’m wearing:

• Cotton/silk dress by “April, May” (last seen in June 16’10)

For my Russian Readers:

Это  мой первый в этом учебном году образ, лук, наряд (всё звучит, как-то не по русски и двухсмысленно – ПОМОГИТЕ!!!) состоит из легкого платья, кашимирового кардигана и бижутерии, как акцента. Просто, лаконично  и удобно.  А ранним прохладным утром только  кашимир способен вернуть мне уют и тепло покинутой постели.

What I’m wearing:

• Linen pants by “Theory”
• Top by “Theory”
• Large bag by “Calvin Klein” (last seen in June 28’10)
• Tri-skull cocktail ring by “Alexander McQueen” (last seen in June 7’10)
• Straw pumps by “Betsey Johnson” (last seen in June 21’10)
• Plastic earrings and necklace by “Ben-Amun”

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”

• 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)

On a slightly unrelated note, I really wanted to show you guys this video. The 5-year-old, Savannah is a true fashionista at heart; she takes care of those around her but stays image-conscious under the most dire of circumstances. I love the part where she says, “I don’t know what I’m going to wear”…lol, what a cuttie .

But the story doesn’t end there…

When getting ready for the reception, I was contemplating whether to bring a clutch or just bring the bare essentials and put them into my coat pockets. In the interest of keeping it simple and not wanting to waste time on picking the perfect clutch, I went with the latter option. I put my ID, credit card, lip-gloss, and prescription glasses in my coat pockets and was out the door. We took a cab back home and, as it turned out, my prescription glasses fell out of the pocket in the cab as I was taking out my credit card to pay. I rarely loose anything, so this was a bit of a shocker. Ironically enough, out of the things I own (which some would argue are in excess ), my prescription glasses are probably the one think I actually need. It was not until about 4 am – when I was woken up by some internal force – that I new where how I lost them. It felt like some subconscious epiphany (if there is such a thing) was pulling me out of my sleep. I called the cab company in the morning, with the cab number and other details (from the credit card receipt he gave me), and by the next day the driver called me and dropped them off. Ummm, don’t you just love happy ending?

I guess the moral of the story is to carry a clutch or bring your purse. Pockets are less reliable than they seem . Also, don’t let a seemingly unfavorable probability of finding something prevent you from putting effort into the search. Life has an amazing way of defying concepts like “probability.”

• Patent leather shoes by “Report Signature” (as seen in Mar. 6’10)

When I was invited to this party I didn’t really know what to expect in terms of the style of their clothes but, once we got there, I was happy to discover many interesting, fun pieces that I would love to add to my collection. I tried a few garments on but there was so much commotion from the party that I decided to leave the shopping for another day…and I will be back! I think HAUS will quickly become one of Toronto’s fashion hot-spots. Check it out; it’s on 1265 Bloor St. West. I doubt that you’ll be leaving empty handed.

Aesthetically speaking, I thoroughly enjoyed my choice of wardrobe for the night. I was originally planning to wear my Temperley London dress that I haven’t shown you yet. But I am so glad that I didn’t because I would have felt too uncomfortable sitting on the floor in it. This flowy twenty8twelve silk dress made me feel feminine, pretty, and  comfortable at the same time.
