Holiday Prep: how to find holiday party dress and decode a party invitation…
Hello Darlings,
With holiday season just around the corner and shopping malls filling with crowds of people,everyone is slowly being absorbed by the holiday spirit. Of course, I adore this time of the year however along with the beautiful festivities comes a time when one needs to find that one, two or maybe three party dresses. Ones that will work for an office party, a family party, a girl’s night out and of course a hot date. With so many occasions to cover and so much to chose from… I set out to find my own holiday cocktail dress.
“A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn’t see me at all. But I’ll bet a month hasn’t gone by since that I hadn’t thought of that girl.”
– Citizen Kane
Before hitting the stores, I once again decided to turn to my trusty fashion books for some advice and tips on how to find that ideal cocktail dress as well as how to decode a party invitation. I am sure that everyone has encountered that one invitation that left you dazed and confused as to what is expected of your attire.
Shopping with purpose and staying on “trend”…
Hello Darlings,
Just a quick reminder, I am hosting a Calvin Klein Beauty Perfume Giveaway...if you would like to participate be sure to check it out. Thank you!
Last week as I was browsing through yet another store to find those "perfect" ( perfection is such an exhausting idea) items, I came to realize that there's absolutely "nothing" to chose from. As exaggerated as this might sound I did feel quite hopeless. Not only were the stores full of merchandise than sparked zero excitement in me but I was desperate to add a few classic pieces. First, I was on a mission to find a cashmere sweater and a silk blouse—which I did. Now, I am searching for a camel coat—mission in progress.When it comes to shopping, I do it often and I do it with high expectations...
Alone Time…
Hello Darlings,
In the midst of academic chaos, it is always wonderful to find the time to relax and unwind. Regardless of how much I adore my field of study, it does get overwhelming and frustrating at times. I am sure that every single one of us has been or is in such a situation.I don't have much time on my hands and every day seems to be short on hours, so when it comes to down time I prefer to spend it at home with my family or in the company of my closest friends. It is always wonderful to have a solid support system and those that genuinely care.
However, there are times when one just wants to be alone, in such cases there are a few places/activities that I find myself doing. Since I've received quite a few requests for my favorite "alone-time" activities, I've decided to share my favorite eight...
How to wear jewelry…
Hello Darlings,
When it comes to jewelry I am as clueless as it gets. It can be said that I suck at accessorizing. I am just too intimidated by costume jewelry, too obsessed with pearls to even bother wearing them because of a fear of going overboard, too reluctant to mix silver and gold jewelry, too nervous to look like a walking freak-show, too scared to wear fake as not to look like a phony. In one word, I am CONFUSED! I adore collecting jewelry but I never really know how to put it to a good use, in a way that could transform a look from drab to fab. In order to tackle such a dilemma, I went ahead and decided to turn to professionals and gather some visual inspiration.
" A woman's relationship with her accessories is important and elemental. Because, your accessories... tell the world who you are." - Nina Garcia
This is my first attempt at trying to lean how to wear jewelry in a way that truly does make a statement. Hopefully this little 101 to jewelry is going to help me overcome my fear as well as inspire you to either face your fear as well or to try something new. It's not possible to know or be inspired too much! S0 shall we 
Under the Weather…
Hello Darlings,
Despite the beautiful fall weather, I am feeling quite under the weather with sniffles and the whole shazam 
But I am back with a quick outfit post from this Friday. Despite a fun weekend of shopping, dinners, lunches, and birthdays with my girlies... I had zero luck in the shopping department. After a Saturday afternoon of shopping, I came home with only a book :S. However, I was quite excited to get my hands on the new Nina Garcia book, Look Book: What to Wear for Every Occasion. Which is quite informative and always super fun to read!
Another great piece of information that I wanted to share was this awesome list of stores and services in Toronto that are recommended by Jeanne Beker. For those who are not familiar, Jeanne Beker is a host of Fashion Television and is one of the most iconic and influential women in the fashion industry in Canada and around the world. It's definitely worth checking out Click on the image below.
What is beautiful to you…
Hello Darlings,
Following a surprising arrival of stunning flowers and a fabulous gift from Calvin Klein—which I am going to farther discuss in my next post—I could not help but ponder upon the idea of beauty. By definition B-E-A-U-T-Y is "the qualities that give pleasure to the senses." And to kick off the Calvin Klein BEAUTY It Touches Everything Contest...
...I would like to share ten things that gave pleasure to my senses today Although I could probably make an endless list...there are those ten things that really did make me experience "beauty"!!!
♥ That hug
Always Be Thankful…
Hello Darlings,
At the moment I am sitting at a huge wooden desk, on the 10th floor of the library, overlooking the beautiful city and instead of studying for my exam... I am dwelling over a million things. As the seasons change and time passes by, it is amazing how much can happen over a short period of time.Although not everyday was a pleasant one, I cannot help but feel thankful for everyday and everyone. As this weekend is Thanksgiving in Canada, I am thankful to have the time to enjoy the last days of summer-like weather and just spend them with those that I love the most.
Although I am going to get into the wardrobe part of the post... I would like to reflect upon one thing beforehand
