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 :)

Hello Darlings,
Marie Antoinette is France’s most notorious queen. She was adored in Versailles, where her beauty, vivacity and intelligence were widely admired. Worried by her popularity, courtiers at Versailles attempted to limit her influence. But the young queen was destined to make an impact.
Marie-Antoinette became known as a patron of the arts, known at Versailles for decorative arts, music and fashion. However, her extravagance came under intense 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 her noble image 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:
Marie Antoinette, 1779, Vigee - Lebrun Elizabeth Louise Marie, oil on canvas
Marie Antoinette, 1783, Vigee - Lebrun Elizabeth Louise Marie, oil on canvas
" 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
