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.

Hooked on my Mon Mode

lida — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 08:10:54 +0000

A few days before leaving for Japan, my friend Ksusha and I spent a day in downtown Toronto – perfume shopping in Yorkville, dim summing on Bay Street, and later taking a walk through my old University of Toronto campus. The sweet people of Mon Mode were kind enough to send me this snakeskin purse hook and I have to say, while I never had used one before, it’s been in my bag ever since. I love that it has has a mirror. Functional and stylish…gotta love that!

What I’m wearing:

Jacket by Marciano
Rolls Royce Fold-Over clutch by Marc Jacobs (last seen in Apr. 15’11)
Silver necklace
Rose sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti (last seen in June 22’11)
Jean shorts by Vigoss Studio
Silver multi-strand bracelet (last seen in June 14’11)
Shirt by Elizabeth and James (last seen in June 14’11)
Sunglasses by MARNI (last seen in June 26’11)
Bra by Pleasure State White Label
Purse hook by Mon Mode (available here)

I just handed in a final memo for my Legal Research & Writing class. It feels good to be completely done with something this year. The general feeling of freshness that comes with Spring seems to be inspiring lightness in my outfit choices. I might be going through a “little-dress + statement-necklace” phase. We’ll see where that takes me…

What I’m wearing:

Silk dress by Lipsy London
Long Chill Scarf necklace by Swarovski (last seen in Dec. 20’10)
Rolls Royce Fold-Over clutch by Marc Jacobs (last seen in Aug. 20’10)
Pumps by Nicole Brundage (last seen in Apr. 6’11)

my milly dilly remix

lida — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 20:00:08 +0000

As you might have noticed, the last three posts included the same chiffon, Milly blouse. There is actually a perfectly good explanation for this “un-fashionista-like” behaviour. These posts are part of my Milly Remix Series for the Teenvogue Wardrobe Remix contest. It asked of its participants to choose one piece of clothing they love and style it three different ways, so I chose my beloved sheer blouse. The second requirement was to give tips on how to remix an item like the one we picked and these were my tips for styling a chiffon, sheer blouse such as this one:

1) wear a camisole underneath for more conservative occasions (such as a school events) while opaque bras or tube-tops are great alternatives for parties and get togethers with friends
2) layer an unbuttoned variation of these blouses over a tank for an added touch of femininity
3) think outside the box; the lightness of such blouses is conducive to creativity and play so enjoy layering dresses, cardigans, vests, or overalls over them
4) alternate between tucked and untucked looks because choosing one over the other can make the difference between preppy or edgy chic

*I finally picked up my new, long-awaited pair of prescription glasses yesterday (the same glasses I mentioned in the Weardrobe Explore Interview). It’s so nice to be able to see again!

The last four pictures were part of my submission.

What I’m wearing:

Silk blouse by “Milly” (last seen in June 23’10)
Strapless pocket dress by “LaROK” (one of the pieces that I chose with my Revolve contest win)
Vintage inspired heels by “Paolo Corelli” (last seen in June 19’10)
My new prescription glasses by “Tido”
Rolls Royce Fold-Over clutch by “Marc Jacobs” (last seen in Apr. 24’10)
4 zip bangles by “Luc Kieffer” (last seen in June 16’10)
Chunky chain ring by “Luc Kieffer” (last seen in June 6’10)

marc jacobs takes the subway

lida — Sun, 30 May 2010 22:00:40 +0000

I’m out in New York right now and will post the pictures of today’s look tomorrow. This silk Marc Jacobs dress is what I wore to the last opera of the season, Maria Stuarda. I didn’t want to bother with the parking downtown, so my mom and I decided to take a subway for a change; hence the title.

On the walk over from the subway station to the opera house, I saw a huge flock of birds congregating on the grass by the statue and I thought it might make for a cool shot. I devised this plan to quickly walk towards them, while my mom waits for the perfect moment and snaps a picture of them sporadically, yet collectively flying off. Only I seemed to had forgotten one simple fact. These are Canadian pigeons and they apparently know their right to “lawful congregation.” No matter how quickly or closely I approached, they just kept doing their thing with absolutely no reaction to my presence. (lol) What was I thinking.

What I’m wearing:

Silk dress by “Marc Jacobs”
Metal/crystal clutch by “Clara Kasavina” (last seen in Feb. 12’10)
Satin t-bar stiletto metal fringe sandals by “L.A.M.B”
3 crystal embellished bracelets from “Club Monaco”

Sheer Dot

lida — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 20:29:18 +0000

We celebrated a friend’s birthday last night so, as you can imagine, I’m a little low on energy today. I felt like wearing something light and delicate so I layered my sheer Etro blouse over a sheer polka-dot dress. The belt softens the transition from the one garment to another while visually separating them at the same time. The top part of the dress conveniently assumes the role of a camisole that a sheer blouse often requires and the bottom is turned into a skit. I’ve never layered sheer on sheer before but I think it works.

What I’m wearing:

Silk dress by “Alexandra” (my mommy bought it for me in Italy) (last seen in Feb. 17’10)
Silk top by “ETRO” (last seen in Mar. 7’10)
Leather belt by “Rough Roses” (last seen in Feb. 17’10)
Rolls Royce Fold-Over clutch by “Marc Jacobs” (last seen in Jan. 14’10)
Leather pumps by “Guillaume Hinfray” (last seen in Apr. 20’10)
Suede sleeveless coat by “Isaac Sellam” (last seen in Apr. 7’10)

Playful Pup

lida — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 13:15:42 +0000

I’m leaving for California tomorrow so my day will be filled with errands and packing. Even though the purpose of the trip is to check out three grad schools, I’m in a vacation state of mind and hope to sustain this feeling until it’s time to unpack. I think today’s look encompasses both, my emotional disposition for the day (excited and playful) and the practicality aspect of what needs to get done (comfortable and easy). Pale yellow for the former and bluish-grey for the latter – seemingly conflicting but surprisingly harmonious tones. That’s basically where I’m at today .

What I’m wearing:

Silk pants by “Joie”
V-neck t-shirt by “BDG”
Silk beaded jacket by “Custo Barcelona”
Headband by “Priti Moudgill”
Rolls Royce suede clutch by “Marc Jacobs”
Pumps by “Nicole Brundage” (as seen in Apr. 10’10)

Lets Sail Away

lida — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 02:14:34 +0000

I hope you guys all had an amazing weekend. You want to know what I did? I spent the entire time watching Dexter and got through over two seasons. The show is so addictive that it turns you into a degenerate in no time . Considering that I don’t even have cable, it feels strange for me to commit so much time to a tv series. I’ve always been more of a film buff (I even minored in cinema studies in university) but my mama got me hooked on this bloody show. Anyway, for those of you who are familiar with it; is it just me or is the character of Rita (Dexter’s girlfriend) incredibly annoying? What’s up with the constant huffing and puffing? She reacts to the most unpleasant news in the same way as if she just chipped a nail – she literally just inhales or exhales loudly and calls it an emotion or thought. Oops, I’m sorry, I think I’m venting a little. Too much Dexter see…he gets under your skin (get it, because he cuts people).

Today’s look-0f-the-day is not at all related to what I just said. It’s from my trip to Moscow. I generally love simple stripes and for me this Marc Jacobs dress really hits the spot. The only thing is that it was a little windy the day I wore it so as we walked all around the Red Square I had to stay conscious of the potential wardrobe malfunction. I really didn’t want to give those tourists more than they bargained for so I had to be careful the whole time. As you can imagine this wasn’t as relaxing for me as it couldn’t been but it was worth it. As the wind carried and blew the silk into shapes that resembled sails it gave the dress a life of its own – wild and spontaneous. For this reason this “billowing brushstroke-stripe silk dress” is a pleasure to photograph when it’s windy.

What I’m wearing:

Silk dress by “Marc Jacobs” (as seen in Trip to Moscow (2009))
Shoes by “Marciano” (as seen in Jan. 25’10)
Sunglasses by “Victoria Beckham” (as seen in Trip to Moscow (2009), St. Petersburg (2009))

Rolls Royce and Derercuny

lida — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 15:16:11 +0000

Today’s look-of-the-day was one of my favourite to put together. The vintage inspired Gil Carvalho boots are incredibly soft and comfortable, despite the high-heels. Interestingly enough, I bought the Derercuny blouse and jacket separately and without having seen the runway pictures I’ve included in this post. Thus far they are the only Derercuny items that I own, so when I finally looked thorough their collection online I was pleasantly surprised that the two garments were paired on the runway. I love the look of the detailed jacket over the simple blouse, which has these unusually long pieces extended from the collar. I suspect that this was the exact feature that worried and confused most of the potential buyers of the blouse, which is also probably the reason I was able to get it on such an amazing sale. What most would view as a scary inconvenience (I’m still talking about the long pieces on the blouse) I see as an opportunity to play – to reshape the garment with every wear. For example, they can be tied in a bow (as was done on the runway) or wrapped around the neck (as I had done here). What do you like more?

BTW, the last picture is of Becki Newton with the Rolls Royce clutch.

What I’m wearing:

Blouse by “Derercuny”
Ankle boots by “Gil Carvalho”
Jacket by “Derercuny”
Rolls Royce Fold-Over clutch by “Marc Jacobs”
Cuban bean necklace/bracelet (bought for 1 convertible peso in the market of Trinidad, Cuba) (as seen in Jan. 7’10)
Black leggings
