Hello Darlings,
Living in Canada comes with it's fair share of good and bad. To the good, ski season lasts a long time. To the bad, freezing your tushy in -20 temperatures. But then again there is an upside to extreme cold weather, since it present me with a new fashion challenge... So today's HUNT is finding the perfect extreme cold weather hat!
In my experience, hats come in limited supplies and in pretty boring variations. Eventually I found this Mariouche Hat with recycled fox fur. The hat cost $100, which is more than I wanted to pay, but it's cute and really warm!
I am wearing:
Mariouche Hat with recycled fox fur
Gap Sweater in Grey
Corpus Skinnies in Ash
Regina Italia Handmade Italian Leather Bag in Plum
Juicy Couture Leather Boots
Accessories & Beyond Elastic Bracelet Set in Black & Gold
Knit Hats as Seen on the Runway There's always an inspiration....
Chanel;Burberry Prorsum; Hermes.
Twilight Update: I finished the last book of Twilight Saga - Breaking Down - during my trip - I LOVED IT. I really hope Stephanie Meyer decides to publish Midnight Sun - which is Edward's version of Twilight. If you have any info on this book.... please do share.
Hello Darlings,
I've decided to give myself a small gift. I've been obsessing over latex/wet looking tights and couldn't find a pair. I refuse to wear leggings, because they make me feel naked.... They work beautifully for some but they're just not for me. So here it is - DISCO TIME
It was love at first sight with these American Apparel Disco Pants. Although not latex, they give the same effect. I also bought this sweater dress - yes, it's a dress - but it also works as a sweater. Since the pants make me feel naked, I balance my nakedness with a chunky knit...
I finished reading New Moon and am realllllly excited for the movie. However, I did miss that Edward wasn't there. It would be interesting if Stephanie Meyer wrote a book told from Edward's perspective. She was working on one, " Midnight Sun" until it was leaked on internet.

I am almost finished reading New Moon (2nd Twilight book). I am in LOVE with the books, and thank everyone for encouraging me to read them. and here are my thoughts:
On to my outfit... It's snowing non stop and - 20 degrees, so for the extreme cold weather I wore a thick knit sweater with a warm jacket. And for my big secret, I wear ski socks under my boots to stay warm. My feet stay toasty warm and I can wear any kind of boots...
I am wearing:
Talula Wool Dress
Soia & Kyo Wool Coat
Calvin Klein Opaque Tights
Gap Leather Purse
Juicy Couture BootsHello Darlings,
"Long chunky scarves look really beautiful and I recommend Louis Vuitton and Burberry..... I prefer my scarves in plain colour blocks, but colorful striped ones look equally good." - Victoria Beckham
The first thing I did when buying Victoria Beckham's book “That Extra Half an Inch” was to read the "winter" section, and in particular the section on scarves. Although I really do like Victoria - and her book is a fun read - some of her suggestions are a tiny bit ridiculous. I mean really, does she think every girl has a couple hundred dollars to spend on scarves by Louis Vuitton or Burberry?
Victoria does mention Gap for colorful scarves. But really I wonder if she has ever even been to Gap (just a random thought... :) Still, I really do love her style and in no way is this a critique of her personal choice, but only my personal opinion. Since I am pretty sure that few people who can buy Louis Vuitton and Burberry scarves like I buy my Starbucks...
Since not everyone has the pop star budget like Victoria Beckham, my recommendation for scarves on a budget is Club Monaco. They currently have cashmere scarves on sale $60, and they are really long and cozy and the quality of cashmere is great. I have a few Club Monaco cashmere pieces and they look great after a winter or two.
Another thing I recommend is to wear a thin slip under a cashmere dress, since they tend to cling to the body. A pretty slip will make the dress sit better, without riding up or clinging. Call me old, fashioned but investing in a pretty silk slip is a must for any woman.
Thank you all for your lovely comments! Thanks especially to the lovely Nita - Karoliina for the amazing award.
