The Secrets of Hermes

On August 21, 2008 · 20 Comments

Hello Darlings,

Hermes the company was founded by Frenchman Thierry Hermes in 1837 and originally specialized in saddles and leather goods. First called the Haut a Courroie, what's now known as "The Kelly" was launched in the 1930s. But when Grace Kelly used it to hide her pregnant belly from an intruding Life Magazine photographer in 1956, the bag got its name and its fame. Check this out ....

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...

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 .... :)
