It is a long weekend and instead of relaxing I was out shopping in the Home Depot with my parents. I decided to completely renovate my bedroom, bathroom and of course my walk- in closet. As a result, I am currently living in my dads computer/office room with no access to my closet (the paint is wet). I am really excited about this " project" of mine and can't wait to share it with you. I apologize for the lack of posts ...
I'm a big city girl and I love my city. I love it even more during the night time, it feels as if the city comes alive. Tonights adventure was a dinner with my bf at the restaurant set atop the 51st floor and is considered to be the country's highest patio. It offers stunning views of both uptown and downtown... and it was definitely worth overcoming my fear of heights :) ... So, if you live in Canada or decide to visit it, I strongly recommend visiting Panorama Restaurant in Toronto.
And now on to the outfit,
I decided on wearing a simple, strapless LBD from Nicole Miller with a light jacket and Kors platforms, which gave the entire look a little edge. I believe that when it comes to any occasion a little black dress is always a perfect choice, since it's so easy to go from casual - to cocktail - to evening look. Plus, that "perfect LBD" makes every girl feel invincible, even if it's only for a night ...

I was getting ready to go out to a cozy little jazz cafe when I snapped these pictures. Although, I was really excited for the night, I was also overtly frustrated on what to wear? I could not decide on what to pair with the dress : the cardigan or the blazer ... In the end, I chose the blazer. What do you think? Which one would be a better choice for the next time? .... Honest opinions always appreciated ... thanks :)

Marie Antoinette is undoubtedly France’s most notorious queen. She was adored on her arrival in Versailles, where her beauty, vivacity and intelligence were widely admired. Worried by her popularity, courtiers at Versailles attempted to limit her political influence. But the young queen was destined to make an impact. Marie-Antoinette soon became known as a patron of the arts. She brought about changes at Versailles in the realms of decorative arts, music and fashion. However, her extravagance came in for sharp criticism. The young queen was dismissed as “the Austrian” and considered a spendthrift, a schemer and a counter-revolutionary. As public opinion turned against her, the royal administration tried to project a noble image of the queen by commissioning large portraits to be shown to the public at the salons.
Marie Antoinette’s life story is eternalized in the works of the Marie Louise Elisabeth Vigee – Lebrun, who was appointed as a court painter.

" I was a queen, and you took away my crown; a wife, and you killed my husband; a mother, and you deprived me of my children. My blood alone remains: take it, but do not make me suffer long." - Marie Antoinette
