Sequin Necklace
Hello, For today's look-of-the-day I paired the short, black, jumpsuit with my new Marni, sequin necklace. I've included pictures of the way the necklace was worn on the runway for comparison. I prefer the simpler approach. Let me know what you think. What I'm wearing: Jumpsuit by "Club Monaco" Sequin necklace by "MARNI" Shoes by "Pierre Hardy" (as seen in Feb. 14'10) Nude tights ...
Otello in Marni
Hello dear readers, I just came back from seeing another show at the COC (Canadian Opera Company). As you probably guessed, tonight's show was Otello. In contrast to my experience with Carmen, I thoroughly enjoyed this production. The costumes were beautiful, the singing powerful and resonant, and the stage design was original and dramatic. I would even go so far as to say that the show was ...
Navy & White
Hello, I have a little confession to make. I have always been into sailor-influaenced pieces; white and navy stripped tees, sailboat and anchor pendants, necklaces with large links reminiscent of anchor chains. Without even trying, sailors happen to be a pretty stylish bunch - an inspiration to fashionistas all over the world. Personally I've been trying to find a few simple stripped tops for ...
Monday
Hey guys, Today's look-of-the-day is special to me because it includes a skirt by one of my favorite designers. I am absolutely enamored with Giambattista Valli's designs; they are incredibly feminine, flirty...simply ravishing. They have been described as a "picture of dignified modern elegance." But I would say that his clothes are like a scrumptious strawberry atop a cake. A berry that you ...
Flower scarf and thick wool
Hey fashionistas, This morning I woke up with a newfound drive for action. It feels like I'm only starting 2010 now, but better late than never I guess :). I have ambitious plans for today and the upcoming week. I'm starting by going to the gym this morning for an energy boost and then I'll be crossing things off my "to-do" list. Today's look-of-the-day is a combination of wool...and some ...
The Old, the New, and the Vintage
Hello the fashion curious, When I was in high school - before I became completely enthralled with fashion - I wondered about the meaning of the term "vintage clothes." It seemed to me as thought people were just slapping this term on "old, worn clothes" in order to glamourize and mystify them; to give it a sense of history that is beyond us, thus reshaping our perception of these aged, used ...
Red Heart, Red Hat
Hi, Admittedly, the colour combination of white, red, and black is one of the safest of them all, but we still love it for its vibrancy and contrast. According to Kate Smith, "a recognized authority on colour," black is associated with the primordial void and emptiness, red is recognized as a stimulant, while white projects purity, cleanliness, and neutrality. Talk about ...
Cool Scarfs
Hello fashionistas, I hope you're all having an awesome post-Christmas time - relaxed, well fed, and ready for the real party (New Years that is). I'm still at the lodge, enjoying the laid-back atmosphere, with its biggest dilemmas being whether to (a) watch another movie, (b) read a book, (c) take another nap, (d) just hang out and do nothing, (e) or sauna. We usually just resort to (d) with ...
Let it Rain (Rain Clothes)
Let it Rain, Let it Rain, Let it Rain! There is a famous saying in Russian that “there is no such thing as bad weather in nature” (the saying loses whatever poetic lyricism it had in translation). I’ve always found this notion to be problematic because it’s so obviously untrue. Living in Canada, I’ve experienced plenty of horrible weather that comes in many different forms. So no, in ...
It’s Friday!
Hello fashionistas, I slept horribly last night and haven't been able to get decent sleep for the past week. I really hope this little phase ends soon. Considering that the way you feel often influences what you chose to wear, I'll be curious to see what I'll come up with for today. What does sleep deprivation look like in the fashion world? (lol, hopefully it won't have to come to ...
