Hello Darlings,
Well, I finished reading the New Moon and now I am realllllly excited for the movie to come out. I really did enjoy that the entire book is not just a love story but also the adventure. However, I did miss a fact that Edward wasn't there.... haha. I think it would really interesting if Stephanie Meyer was to release a book or two or three,lol.... that would be told from Edwards perspective.I know that she was working on one, " Midnight Sun" until it was leaked on internet... You can read the story and response from the author here ( just click...) I am on the first pages of Eclipse and can't wait to have the time to just sit down ... and read, read and read.
Well... off I go, I have yet to wrap the present and finish re-organizing my closet and finding all of my summer stuff... UGGHHH!!!
Well...it definitely seems like there's no time for me to be sick. The fever is finally gone and although I am still slightly sick...I've been all around the place, running last minute errands and x-mas shopping, lol. Since, the vacation is just around the corner and x-mas is day away.... Although it is a time of giving... I decided to go ahead and Give... myself a gift, lol...
DISCO TIME - lol
I've been obsessing over the latex/wet looking tights and couldn't find a pair and leggings were out of question .... I refuse to wear leggings, only because I feel naked and because I never really had the need to wear them .... They work beautifully for others but just not for me.
So, the moment I saw American Apparel Disco pants - I was in love. Although they are not latex, they do give the same effect.... I also picked up a this sweater dress... yes, it's a dress, but it also works like a sweater. Well, these pants are definately "naked pants" so I balanced out my nakedness with a chunky knit .... just to make myself feel more comfortable,lol....
I am wearing: ( press on the links to pick up the same item as I am wearing)

American Apparel Disco Pants - I love'em and can't wait to show them to you in their full glory,lol

Twilight Update and my trip to Chapters to pick up the last two books of the Twilight Saga. I also hope that Santa brings me Twilight collectors edition .... or I will just have to play Santa myself and get one.... So, please Santa.

Hello Lovelies,
Well, today was yet another day spent shopping ... but this time, not for myself ( well... maybe just a little bit) but for my beloved. I think that shopping for someone else is so much more fun, than for yourself.... or maybe it is just me. Although, I do like receiving gifts as well... haha, who doesn't.
BUNDLE UP!!!
Since, I live in Canada... and this is how our weather has been :
( During the drive home ...tonight)
The first thing I did, when I purchases Beckham's book was turn to the "winter" section. And then I quickly turned to the section on scarves.... and here's a short quote:
" Long chunky scarves look really beautiful and I recommend Louis Vuitton and Burberry..... I prefer my scarves in plain colour blocks, but colorful stripped ones look equally good." (pg.238)
Although I really do like her book and it is a fun read some of her suggestions are a tiny bit ridiculous ... Louis Vuitton and Burberry scarf? Really? - I mean of course, we all have couple of hudred dollars of spare change lying around for a cozy little scarf. She does mention Gap ... for colorful scarves. I wonder if she has ever even been to Gap ( just a random thought).... lol. By the way, 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 people who can buy Vuitton and Burberry scarves like I buy my Starbucks ( everyday) ... have personal stylists and I am pretty sure are not going to be reading this book - for fashion advise. Although, I will give her credit, for trying to mention more accessible stores like Topshop, H&M,Zara,etc ... throughout her book ( which I will quote once in a while since, some of her advice is pretty cool)
My favorite Fall 08 Runway Looks....
( then it comes to fur scarfs go faux ...it is more fabulous then real animal skin)
Well, for those of us who are not exactly Victoria Beckham's - budget is important... So, my personal recommendation would be Club Monaco Cashmere Scarves ( they are also on sale now, for $60, from $120 - in Canada) .... they are really long and cozy and the quality of cashmere is really good... I have a few things from them in cashmere and they look great after a winter or two ....Nice cashmere scarf is a good investement if you live in freezying environement. It will keep you warm and cozy throughout the brutal winters.
.... And my mommy being an angel that she is just got me the most perfect scarf to match my Autumn Cashmere Dress....thank you mommy.
MATCH-Y MATCH-Y???
I am wearing:
Autumn Cashmere cashmere dress
Club Monaco cashemere Scarf
80%20 Jackie Hidden Wedge Crinkled Patent Leather Boots
Accessories & Beyond Gold Bracellets
Calvin Klein Opaque Tights - went it comes to thick tights, his are the best.
Another thing, I would recommend is... when wearing a cashmere dress, you might want to wear a thin slip - since cashmere dresses tend to be slightly sheer and they also cling to the body.A pretty slip makes sure that the dress sits perfectly, without ridding up, clinging, or the embracing " in the light" moments. Call me old, fashioned but I think investing in a pretty silk, slinky slip is a must for any woman ... especially one that wears many dresses.

I still can't believe how well my mommy matched the scarf to the dress... I love it!!!
Thank you all for your lovely comments - reading them, really does bring me lots of joy. I would especially like to thank the lovely Nita - Karoliina for the amazing award, which I would like to pass to every single one of you.

P.S. Statick - Hair Problem: In my last post, I mentioned that I could no longer deal with my statick-y haire...WELL, I FOUND A SOLUTION THAT WORKS and boy was I excited. My friend suggested using Dryer Sheets ... sounds weird but toss one in your purse and when needed gently run over your hair and TATA it is perfect once again. The dryer sheets are ment to eliminate static....and work charms on my hair. You know what they say drastic times = drastic measures!!! And this is the only thing that works for me ...
Hello Darlings,
Well, I finally have the time to post my outfit from Saturday night party.... although it was a Christmas party it was more on a casual side.
So Ta ta... my casual but " festive" outfit... lol
Nothing compares to a cozy sweater on a chilly winter evening ( of course, with a warm jacket on top,lol)
I am wearing:
Maggie Ward Dress
M. Rena Wool Sweater
Givenchy Pantyhose
80%20 Jackie Hidden Wedge Crinkled Patent Leather Boots
Gap Leather Hobo
A.V. Max Gold Studded Cuff
Swarovski Earings
I though that I would throw in this random fact... up until few month ago I would never wear a tony tail outside of my home, but now I am definately loving a messy pony... Especially, because of this weather my hair is so staticy ... Any recommendations as to what products to use to prevent that?
P.S. I finally had a chance to spend some time in the local bookstore and picked up a copy of Twilight ( I was hoping to get the special edition... but I was lucky enough to scoop up 2nd last paperback) and I also picked up That Extra Half an Inch by Victoria Beckham - which believe it or not is actually pretty fun read. I will make sure to post a thing or two from the book as well as some picture which are really awesome ....
And I am going to leave with this awesome John Galliano Jewelry Ad.... it is so sexy, I love it!!

Close up of the boots, make - up and the earrings.
I was bit nervous about the hidden wedge... but it looks really awesome. It is definable not an ordinary boot... and really does give that perfect touch to otherwise boring winter outfit.
