Hello Darlings,
Whenever watching Gossip Girl, I obsess over Blair's headbands, which are fun and add so much to otherwise boring hair styles. Headbands are also a life saver when you're at war with your hair dryer and lose... One way or another, I love headbands .... DO YOU?
This is me playing dress up in my room, wearing an H&M headband and high waisted skirt with my striped knee socks from Miss Sixty. I love the preppy school girl look, and I especially adore how Blair does it in Gossip Girl.
I am wearing:
Juicy Couture Puff Sleeve Polo
H&M High Waisted Skirt
Miss Sixty Striped Knee Socks
Swarovski Love Charm Bracelet
Michael Kors Booties
H&M Headband
My best effort of how to dress preppy...
THE BEST FOR LAST
On another note, I was excited to meet fellow bloggers at Bloor Street Diner last Sunday. It was a wonderful day and a highlight of my week. Girls just want to have fun, and we did!
Special THANK YOU to Anthea from Clothes Line Finds for organizing the event. Thank also to Ashleigh from Rantings of a Fashion Addict, Danielle from Final Fashion and S from Modern Guilt.

I've had quite an interesting week, full of birthday parties. Thursday, I had my German exam with a party right after, so for my exam chic look I wore my Whitley Silk Top and J Brand Skinnies.
I was inspired by the queen of girly and pink, Betsey Johnson, her pink house. I used to have the same pink wall color, and from her spring 2008 collection I am obsessed with this tiny pink dress :)
I was also inspired by the movie Pretty in Pink, and bought a new Alexander Wang dress... IT MADE MY WEEK and I can't wait to share it with you. I am wearing it out tonight to another friends birthday bash.

Hello Darlings,
It was anchors away at D&G where messieurs Dolce and Gabbana took a dip in the azure waters of the French Riviera - Make that a long soak. They never do anything halfway, and this collection was no exception, from the first retro navy-striped maillot with a red anchor on the chest to the parade of dresses in pleated gold lamé and chiffon printed with nautical flags and sailor knots.
Drawing inspiration from this fun and absolutely beautiful collection,I decided to give a nautical look a try by downplaying it with a schoolboy blazer.
No Sleep = Looking Good
When you haven't slept for more than 4-5 hours in two weeks and survive on espresso and red bull, and have a weird buzzing noise in your head, and when nothing else matters AT LEAST TRY TO LOOK GOOD going into the exam .... that was my way of making myself feel like a girl and not a hermit :)
P.S. I wasn't cold since I drive to school and park right across the street :) and I wore tights... lol
I am wearing:
H&M Striped Dress - $34.99
Talula Wool Blazer - $148
Michael Kors Bootie - $230
Firenze Collection Bag - about $ 100-150 on sale ( I've had it forever)

AND BACK TO BOOKS I GO ... :(
BUT NOT BEFORE mentioning this...
Since, Ive been "locked away" at home with no social interaction, except for profs, and just surrounded by books, espresso machine and a box of red bull ... I had nothing left to do except to browse an on-line stores on my " caffeine overdosing breaks" and of course pick up a few beauties: ( I couldn't resist or use any common sense... ooh well)
This beautiful Alexander Wang Dress, that I picked up in a last size zero 50% sale from $495 .... ( I hope the duties and taxes are not too high, since that's where I usually get caught with crazy fees,lol)
ANDThis Trash&Luxury Tee that costs in Canada $68, I picked up for $ 39 ---- I feel soo ripped off since I do have a few tee that I did purchase for that crazy price... it should be illegal. lol
I can't wait for the dress to arrive ... I hope it's not tooo short. It was my only source of excitement or joy this week ... UGGGH.
For the past two week, I've had the " when life hands you lemons, make lemon juice" line stuck in my head and I came to conclusion that whoever thought of this line never had to face exam period ... Because all I have is more lemons and no lemon juice... OOOH YEA, and I am Missing TORONTO FASHION WEEK - because of exams and research.
ON a POSITIVE NOTE, Halloween is coming, my last exam is on the 27th and I already have the best costume ... I love it, Can't wait to P-A-R-T-Y :)
Who are YOU dressing up as?
By the way, Yesterday(Tuesday) TORONTO WAS HIT BY LIGHT SNOW .... I just got onto the highway on my way to the lecture and there it was .... in the middle of OCTOBER, but what did I expect... I LIVE IN CANADA, lol.
Happy SNOW DAY?I wish you all a beautiful day
With Love ...
