Hello Darlings,

Happy Belated Valentine's Day. Sorry for the late update, but I just returned from my own Valentine's weekend. I am obsessed with Giambattista Valli and drew my inspiration from his spring collection for my V-day outfit. I wanted something pretty, edgy, romantic and fun - so wore my trusty Alexander Wang dress. I just love how flirty it makes me feel, paired with my favorite booties and leather jacket to give it some edge... :P

 

Tip: Seductive tights can make a boring dress look fabulous. Actually, I love wearing pretty tights every day. They are a fun and easy way to bring life to your cold weather wardrobe. My Tights - check out this site, they have the best variety of tights. As for Canadians, I suggest Legs Beautiful or Winners for awesome selection.

 

I am wearing: Alexander Wang Dress Mackage Leather Jacket Joe Boxer Tights Coach Patent Leather Wristlet Swarovski Necklace and Bracelet

I wore matching Swarovski Love necklace and bracelet to make my outfit feel more special and Valentine-y. As for make up, well I hate wearing much - so a little blush, mascara and pretty lip gloss did the job. The fabric of the dress is so delicate I wanted to keep everything else light and simple.

 

P.S. I just bought a pair of shoes that I've been dying for, and finally found them 65 % off and they are perfection. Can't wait to share them with you :)

Also, I finally received my Twilight collectors edition - so I will review and post some pics.   Sources: This is glamorous; Dom Perignon Rose Ad by Karl Lagerfeld.

Hello Darlings,

Exams are driving me crazy and the only positive thing right now is that Andrew organized a special Valentine's weekend. My only concern, is what to wear? I am thinking of something pretty, feminine, but with an edge. Maybe my Alexander Wang dress, because it is is pink.

While everyone is obsessing with edgy Balmain, I am obsessing over classic Giambattista Valli. In my eyes, his work is the epitome of femininity and grace! And when dressing this Valentine's weekend I am definitely going to keep his vision in my mind :)

I adore the gentle neutral color palate. After seeing these beautifies, not only do I miss my ballet tutu but I am also obsessively looking for a tulle/ruffle skirt :)

How incredible are these dresses? Omg ... I'm in love. If I ever decide to get married, this is what I want my dress to look like. Actually, I would marry just to wear a dress as beautiful as this...

The little bows, ruffles, and barely there make up give that sensual and feminine feel. Meanwhile, the sexy heels add a touch of sex appeal and edge to the perfectly polished gowns. Well, this post really did take me into the world of princesses and charming princes but reality is awaiting for me along with David and Goya.

Remember Love is in the Air...

Hello Darlings,

I am excited to show my two new purchases. The first is a leather jacket from Canadian designer Mackage. The second is a "going out" top, which is a sequin top from Alice & Olivia.

This is my first leather jacket, and it was a struggle to find one that fit my style. Mackage is a Canadian brand, and I am convinced that Canadians make the best jackets because of our brutal winters. It's not only about looking awesome but also preventing frost bite...

I did not want the "grunge look", instead personalizing this trend rather than following it. The simple, feminine and detailed Mackage Leane leather jacket fit my style, and I sized up from XXS to S.

The jacket is classic but contemporary. The leather is durable, yet buttery soft. Mackage quality is excellent, and as they say, their products are " detailed to perfection".

My second purchase was this sheer sequin Alice & Olivia top. I like how it can be worn going out for that subtle sexy look or pair it wish my cashmere cardi for an everyday look with a little sparkle.

I am wearing:

Mackage Leane Leather Jacket

Alice & Olivia Sequin Top

J Brand Mid Rise 12" Leg in Black

Juicy Couture Leather Boots

Hello Darlings,

I am most comfortable in neutrals or pastels. I usually avoid bright or loud colors except in summer. This may just be a phase, since I do change my mind often, but never when it comes to colors my preferences are black, grey, white and beige.

Color is not the only way to make an outfit exciting. Colorful accessories can make a dull outfit come alive, as can playing with textures and materials. To me, nothing in fashion is as important as attention to DETAILS...

I love wearing bracelets or cuffs over simple cashmere gloves in order to add some interest to a winter outfit. Also, I've always loved matching my gloves to my purse.

I am wearing:

Language Los Angeles Tunic

American Apparel Disco Pants

Soia & Kyo Annisa - Z Wool Coat

Portolano Cashmere Gloves in Eggplant

Accessories & Beyond Elastic Bracelet

Kimberly Baker Dove Necklace

Regina Italia Handmade Italian Leather Bag

Juicy Couture Leather Boots

And thanks for your comments on the T by by Alexander Wang. Although expensive, I am unimpressed with the collection - the dresses remind me of night gowns. I am curious if the quality and fit is what makes them expensive, since the materials are "not my favorite" nor are the cuts original.
