This asymmetrical, edgy cotton maxi is my go-to dress when I’m too busy or lazy to put an outfit together. I just throw this oversized baby on and I’m ready for the movies or whatever other relaxed activity I’m getting myself involved in. I’ve definitely put this dress to use in the past and I [...]
On Sunday we decided to pay yet another visit to the “Starving Artist Bar” for brunch and in tune with its untraditional, edgy vibe, I felt like rebelling against my own natural inclinations and wearing something in a way that is new to me. When looking though my closet(s), I stumbled upon the orange, wrinkled [...]
I’m laying out this post in chronological order, with the pictures appearing in sequence of unfolding events. I just had a really crazy day! It all started when, over morning coffee, we spontaneously decided to drive up to New York for a few days of “Manhattanism” – shopping, MoMA, food in the meatpacking district, a Broadway [...]
My day started pleasant and slow enough, but turned into a “marathon” right after breakfast on our practically shadeless backyard patio. First it was the yogafusion, which seemed more intense and painful than ever. From class I drove straight to my hair appointment, bank appointment, auto body shop, grocery store, and then straight home to [...]
I’m still lusting after colour…and then some more colour. Lately I’ve been craving unusual combinations so when it was time to style my fuchsia Stella McCartney dress, I instinctively reached for more untraditional tones. A few years ago, I probably wouldn’t have even considered accessorizing this dress with such crazy-large, blue bangles but to me [...]

My Olympus was acting unusually capricious last night, so I’ll have to take pictures of that look at another time (probably tomorrow).

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 [...]

We spent most of the day in Palo Alto, CA and these pictures were taken on the campus of Stanford University. The weather was just how I like it – hot with a slightly cool breeze, which made the soft ruffles of this layered petal dress gently dance in the wind (very picture friendly conditions:)). [...]
I was really in the mood for silks and satins today even though the weather refuses to comply. I bought this skirt over a year ago and it just hung in my closet until today. The main reason for this uselessness was that I had little desire to wear it in its original state. It [...]
To me this spring is about exuberant colour. The kind of vibrant tones that aesthetically burst and emotionally provoke. Here I mixed electric fuchsia with royal blue, and balanced this combination by adding polar white. I kept my look within this trio-colour-scheme and let the city fill in the rest. Its amazing how much vibrancy [...]
