Today’s grad school open-house took place in Santa Clara (CA). I’ve had this yellow suit for over four years and never got the chance to wear it…or maybe I just forgot about it until this trip. It is by far the most comfortable suit I own – soft and stretchy. Its deep round neckline screams for a necklace and I wanted to find a jewellery piece that would compliment both the suit’s yellow tone and the decolletage. In keeping with this criteria, I knew that the necklace had to be short to medium length and should at least possess a hint of yellow. Out of the things in my jewellery box, nothing seemed to fulfill these requirement so I began to experiment. I was drawn to the Priti Moudgil headband because of its colour scheme and relative simplicity; I pulled it over my neck and… it stuck

business chic
muted grey on a sunny day
I really have to run out so I will tell you about this look and my day at Davis when I get a chance.
What I’m wearing:
falling for the falls
On the way to the Buffalo airport this morning my parents and I decided to swing by Niagara Falls. Considering that Toronto is so close to Niagara, I’ve been there a few times before but it was never like this. I’ve discovered that experiencing the falls on a spring, weekday morning is a rare treat in itself. This insanely beautiful wonder of the world was entirely tourist free. Niagara was left to its own enchantments and magic (before we invaded it of course). It felt as though we had the falls to ourselves – surreal.
Amber loves Stella
I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it before that Stella McCartney is one of my favorite designers. There is an element of freshness and spontaneity in her work – a feeling of ease and fluidity. Today I wore her girlish organza blouse by tying a small knot at the bottom and tucking the knot into her low-rise, zipper pants (this partial tucking-in is something I started doing recently).
That Big Scrumptious Apple
I went picture crazy when I was in Manhattan. I thought to warn you in advance because I wouldn’t want anyone to have a ‘Lida’s face’ overdose by the end of the post . There might be moments when you think that I repeated the same pics a few times but I assure you that they are all if fact somehow different. You might also notice that the outfit only slightly varies with yesterday’s look-of-the-day. I had to repeat an outfit two days in a row due to a packing miscalculation…what a painful confession. However, my beloved cashmere blanket (my dear aunt Laura knitted) played such a central role in today’s look that I hope it almost makes up for the repetition. New York was a bit chilly so the blanky kept me warm and cozy. No matter how I wrapped or hung it over my body it just seemed to work in the context of Manhattan – that big, scrumptious apple is just magical.
