Miu Miu meets Mawi
Hello my darlings, I was taking care of "businazz" all day today; I went through all of my graduate school information forms and booklets and created a schedule for the school open-house visits this spring. I actually can't wait. I love how in order to get into these competitive schools you need to go though a long, tedious process of applying but once you get it it's time for the schools to ...
Happy Valentine’s Day Fashionistas
Hello darlings, It's the international day of love and another perfect reason for fashionistas to dress up in something beautiful. To celebrate, I decided to come to Montreal, Quebec for the long weekend. Aside from the fact that Montreal is more fun than Toronto and that its European-esque scenery is more conducive to the celebration of Valentine's Day (being more romantic that is), Montreal ...
A Dress Like No Other
Hey guys, I'm on my way out to a play at the Factory theatre. I will let you know how it went in tomorrow's post. This is the look I put together for tonight. What first attracted me to this Commuun dress was its volume and multi-textured quality. I was shopping with my mom when I came across it. I was surprised to discover that it was my size (36-38) because it looked so wide. After trying ...
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 ...
My Maxi Dress and my Little Bodyguard
Hello my darlings, Today's look of the day is taken from my summer trip to St. Petersburg. We did a lot of touristy things when we were there, which is only right considering that it's one of the cultural capitals of the world. In these pictures we were visiting the Cruiser Aurora Museum and the Central Artillery Museum. Umm, ships and tanks, how fascinating! There are few things in the world ...
Denim and Tweed
Hello fashion obsessed, Today my family and I will be driving for about 3 hours to spend our Christmas in the country. I love a change of scenery even if it means leaving the city. I can't wait to chill out by the fire at the lodge; it will be so country-fabulous. There is more snow, greenery, and fresh air, which should be refreshing considering that I've spend the last couple of days couped ...
Purplelicious
Hello dear guests, Today I was planning to shoot the first video on a vacation-related topic but I'm feeling under the weather. I can't breath through my nose at all, sound like a teenage boy going through yearly puberty, and look like a full-on sick person. So instead, I'll be chilling in bed most of the day - watching movies, drinking hot milk with honey, and trying to get better. Today's ...
Green Panther
Hello lovlies, When going out last night I felt like wearing something coquettish and feminine, so I wore a silk top with a high-waisted bubble skirt. But when putting the look together, it felt like the two pieces alone weren't enough. I wanted to give it an edge and that wow-factor; I basically needed a statement piece to complete it. I chose the Mawi necklace for this task for a number of ...
Gold Vintage
Hello the fashion-conscious, I went out to see a band last night called "King Sunshine." One of its members is a friend of my brother's and I knew what to expect in terms of their style. Their sound is filled with elements of soul. funk, and retro-boogieness, so I decided to go vintage. This silk dress is elaborately embroidered in the pattern of large gold flowers and I wanted to play-up on ...
Black Velvet
Hey guys, I wore my little knitted dress to a party last night with black opaque tights - an item in a girl's closet that is as simple as it is essential. The great thing about opaque tights in general is that, even when you wear them with a mini-dress or skirt, the tights complete the outfit in a way that visually neutralizes the impression produced by the "oh-so-short" mini. By covering the ...
