White Parachute Top

Hello Darlings,

Although my day was mostly spent driving around the city running errands, I did manage to get some cool snapshots of some interesting places in Toronto.

I started my day with a very slloooooowwwww drive from Etobicoke to downtown Toronto on the Gardiner un-expressway (5 minute drive took 35 minutes).

So, I entertained myself by taking pictures of the stunning view of downtown Toronto from the highway. (Please don't try this - and I swear that usually I am a very careful driver :)

After the long drive and finally finding a parking spot, I dropped by my office (well, my professors office). Here's the deal, I have an awesome job as a research assistant to one of my architecture professors.

She is an incredible and inspiring woman, who allows me to work from home and from the office. Wicked, I know? It also means that I have no schedule :) Well, here it is ....

CHECK OUT THE VIEW .... i can never stop staring ( so distracting)

After the office fun, I headed for some real fun at the spa to get a routine facial and some girly things. And now on to the serious stuff, my outfit of the day:

Today's look was simple. Comfort was essential for such a long hot day, but I still wanted to look cute so I wore my H&M parachute top with my skinnies and of course my FLATS from Brown Shoes.

I am Wearing:

Corpus Alpha in Cracked

Organic Cotton H&M Parachute Top

Brown Couture Italian Leather Flats

Olivia Dove Necklace by Kimberly Baker Jewelry

Chanel Sunglasses

 

I'm a flat lover, they are perfect for running around downtown all day long while trying to look cute when it is 30 degrees outfit. So, here's my question:

CAN A MODERN DAY WOMAN WEAR HEELS EVERY DAY? For me, the answer is NO.

As a student it is impossible to spend an entire day on heels, especially when my university is located all over downtown. Sometimes it takes 15 minutes to get from one lecture to another by foot. And try crossing an entire park on heels is impossible. So my solution is flats that are cute, comfy, and still give an outfit that dressed up feeling.

What was once reserved for casual Fridays is now also for stately affairs.The look appeals to all fashion lovers, from the first lady of France to style setter Kate Moss.

SO, WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON FLATS?

Hello Darlings, AHH, CAN'T STOP MYSELF .................. I am getting worried that I may be a little out of hand with my guilty pleasure - shopping online. At the comfort of my bed with a cup of strong espresso, I love to indulge in a little bit of innocent shopping.... three hours later and my order is in. I try to justify to myself that this is my wardrobe prep for the fall time and that there is no way I would find better deals later on....AND Today, it was all about Bluefly and here are my finds, LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK .... and HOW OFTEN DO YOU SHOP ON LINE? ANY FAVORITE SITES? Habitual Pitch Black " Placebo" Skinny Jeans I've been searching for a black pair of skinnies for a while now, until I found these babies and the price was irresistible. Plus, they can be easily dressed up or down :) Hayden Fuchsia Cashmere Scoopneck Sweater You can never go wrong with cashmere and the splash of colour is something I desperately needed. Alisha Levine Coral Silk Raceback Trapeze Tank Perfect for going out and it would look awesome with the black skinnies. A.V. Max Silver Glitter Lucide Stud Cuff
Bluefly is currently having Summer Sale, check it out . If you spend over $150 you can get $30 off with this code: DOR162B ( if worked for me beautifully) However, they do charge shipping to Canada it was $34.
A visit to a nearby Starbucks and then a stroll in the park with my" better-half"(hehe), was a cheery on top of a perfect day. P .S. I apologize for the "pony- tail" and no make up, lol :)

Current Obsession…. Slouchy Trousers

On July 12, 2008 · 28 Comments
Hello Darlings,

Although I love slim jeans and wear them all the time, I have never gotten used to the idea of leggings. Maybe, it's because I feel naked in them... but whatever reason, I've never worn leggings outside of my dance / pilates class. What is your take on leggings ?

Emporio Armani Fall 2008
 

The LEAN LOOK has been around for ages and I am slowly developing a love/hate relationship with it. Meanwhile, I have totally fallen in love with slouchy trousers. I just love how effortless they looks and how seductive they make you feel. Plus, it is so easy to dress them up or down.

If the full - leg trousers are too drastic of a change from your skinnies, try boyish tapered pants, like the ones seen at the Isabel Marant fall collection.

As for my outfit, I have made a post of these trousers before. But this night, I was inspired by the Emporio Armani Fall 2008 collection, and the way that the gray trousers were beautiful paired with a sexy champaign coloured top. Here' s is my take on this sexy look:

Shoe Whore

Hello Darlings,

Fashion designers are notorious for creating impossible to wear, yet stunningly beautiful shoes. As stiletto's grow higher and skinnier, and the designs stranger every every season, the question is HOW FAR WILL YOU GO FOR FASHION?

I am a lover of outrageous but ooh so beautiful heels, even if they are unwearable for almost any occasion.. and even if they are impossible to do what they are supposedly designed for (to actually walk in them)... Is this the definition of a "shoe whore"?
