Tragic Story …. and Rhys Dwfen

On August 19, 2008 · 25 Comments
Hello Darlings,

This is what happened.... I ordered the red dress (picture below) to wear on my 20th birthday and received it about two weeks ago. It was a little long (see the pic), so I took it to be hemmed....

Well, it's been a week AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENED? The dress is now a shirt. It went from 35 inches to 19. Instead of taking off 1 inch they took off about 16 inches.... Kill me now, who makes that kind of a mistake....

I was so upset I cried, and what's worse the tailor is saying the dress shrunk. Come on, isn't that why we take stuff for dry cleaning ?????? SO IT DOES NOT SHRINK? I promise to post pics of the SHIRT DRESS as soon as I get it back and tell you the ending of this tragic story. So I resorted to on-line retail therapy at Active Endeavors... and found:

1. Harrow Shirt by Totem 2. Willie Scoop Knit Dress by Rhys Dwfen 3. Chix Dress by Maggie Ward NOW, it a matter of waiting for them to arrive and hopefully before my B-day. And now on to my weekend .......
Although, I am not a hopeless romantic ... my boyfriend - who's real name is Andrew - does like to surprise with the most romantic things, randomly.This time, he surprised me with tickets to " Dirty Dancing". The night was perfect and " I had the time of my life" ( cheezy phase, but it is from the movie)...
I didn't take the pictures at the show because I forgot my camera at home ... but here's my outfit.
I am wearing: - Hayden Cashmere Dress - Jucity Couture Mary Jane's - Dove Necklace by Kimberly Baker Jewelry - A.V.Max New York Studd Cuff

By the way, welcome to my closet. Is a complete crazy mess,

but my excuse is I am still renovating my room.

With Love...

Girly girl in a man’s man world …. :P

Hello Darlings,

I had an action packed weekend, including on Friday going to a football game. I had a blast, even though our team lost (I was told that happens a lot). Although surrounded by about 85% men (not complaining) I felt so comfortable with my own beer in hand....

After the game, we went to the game's after party and the rest is a history :P But I will admit that my preference is going to Maple Leaf hockey games, not that they win either :)

I'm a girly girl but still love sports and even used to play baseball on school team... So here is my question : CAN A GIRLY GIRL BE A TOMBOY AT HEART?

Johnny Dale who is an author of The Darling Budds , mentioned my post about scarves in his awesome blog - thank you so much :)  

With Love...

Addictive Personality… Eden Trattoria

On August 15, 2008 · 27 Comments
Hello Darlings,

My current obsession is a little European-style cafe called Eden Trattoria on the shore of Lake Ontario, which has a stunning and romantic view of downtown Toronto.

In this spirit, here are my current top ten addictions:

Godiva Chocolate .... I have to have it every week :) Starbucks Mocha ... this is how I start my day Chanel and Dior make up .... the only kind I wear A cafe on the shore of Ontario ... it's called Eden Trattoria Michael Kors shoes.... 90% of my foot wear is from him Buying Books... I love collecting books and reading Cashmere ... Love love cashmere sweaters "Pretty Woman " and " Dirty Dancing"... a bit embarrassing Going to musicals and ballet .... I want to see every single one Decorating my room .... Non-stop process and it's still a mess    

Before describing my outfit, I decided it's time to introduce you to my baby (fluff ball in the pics, lol). His name is Johnny, and he is an English Cocker Spaniel who's in a bad need of a haircut.

I am wearing:

Splendid Supima Cotton Dress

Tommy Hilfiger Clutch

Michael Kors Wedges

I've been obsessing over Juicy Couture Mary Jane's and how cute they are with my cashmere dress. I am developing an addiction for Juicy Couture (just not their track suits...) Another purchase is Minnetonka Mocassins Hi Top Back Zip Boot - I bought dark brown.

 
What do you obsess over?

With Love...

My Passion in Hayden Cashmere

On August 13, 2008 · 16 Comments
Hello Darlings,

This blog is very personal and truly does represent who I am. So today I thought to write about my studies in fine art and architecture at the University of Toronto (with a few style photos interspersed of my new Hayden Cashmere sweater - since this is a fashion blog after all).

Here's a bit of info about my life as a student .... :P
I am going into my third year at the University of Toronto doing a specialist in Fine Art and Architecture. I am also learning German and doing research with four different professors, and it is my hope that one day I can share my passion by educating and further researching in this field... maybe doing my PhD or becoming a professor myself, following in the footsteps of my family.... who always inspire and support me (Дуже дякую за вашу підтримку) Therefore, I have decided to include the occasional Fine Art and Architecture posts... I hope that you enjoy them and if there is anything that you would like to suggest, please do so my leaving me a comment or e-mailing me :D

I am wearing: Hayden Fuchsia Cashmere Sweater J brand Skinnies Browns Couture Italian Leather Flats TNA Wool Scarf Swarowski Love Charm Bracellet SCROLL DOWN FOR MY POST ON LEONARDO DA VINCI .... :)
