Hello Darlings,
In my opinion, running shoes should not grace the feet of woman outside her exercise routine. I am not suggesting that all athletic footwear is a fashion faux pas, since as we all know there are exceptions to every re with every rule.
One of those exceptions you can explore is the Converse brand. Nowhere near faux pas status, their all-American shoe is an icon, so popular that according to surveys 60% of Americans claim to have owned a pair at some point in their lives.
Although created as basketball shoe almost 100 years ago, it was not until the 1950’s that Converse shoes graced the feet of some of the world’s biggest stars. Converse earned its iconic status on the feet of The Beach Boys, James Dean and Elvis. In the 21st century, Converse also holds a prominent place in many women’s closets along with the Louboutins and Manolos.
Last Thursday, I had attended a media preview for the Converse Fall 2011 collection and went ga-ga over the Dr. Seuss kids’ edition shoes. Who wouldn’t want to wear anything that states “I don’t like green eggs and ham”? As for the men’s collection, the John Varvattos kicks were AMAZING!

I figured that a lunch event called for a simple blouse and my newly favorite Club Monaco Zowie skirt with a pop of color courtesy of my shoes and nail color.

Hello Darlings,
After an early flight and a quick breakfast with one of my besties, I was excited to begin exploring downtown Montreal. This is my first trip during the famous Montreal Grand Prix weekend, and the rumors are true about the buzz in the city, not to mention the great weather for wearing my new shoes and skirts!

But so much for early morning flights, since instead of wandering the streets of Old Montreal or shopping on rue Saint Catherine, all I could think about was a cozy blanket and a cuddly pillow. So I made my way to my hotel and before I knew it, I missed my planned big day out.

I woke up right on time to observe the end of the workday from the window of the 36th floor of my hotel room. I figured that tourism could wait until the next day and instead of venturing out, I indulged in an hour-long bubble bath with Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert. Following the bath, styling my hair and doing my make up, it was time for my dinner date with E.
I am wearing:♥ Juicy Couture Bow Pullover♥ Aldo Basenji Cotton ClutchBased on his suggestion, we went to boulevard Saint Laurent and the warm atmosphere of Buonanotte. Filled with sounds of the 80s and 90s coming from the speakers, Buonanotte serves new age Italian cuisine to a crowd of beautiful people. Following a prosciutto platter and a glass of Merlot, I got to savor the entrée: a delectable seafood linguine.
Being Grand Prix week, of course there was a Formula One driver also eating at Buonanotte that night. Robert Wickens is a driver from the Virgin Formula One team. E knew him, so we said hello but I was too shy for a photo!
As we wandered back through the streets of Montreal to our hotel, I couldn’t help but look forward to a restful evening and postpone my plans to explore.
Lots more posts coming up...check back :)
With Love...

Hello Darlings,
Finding for your favorite jeans is like finding that perfect little black dress. It takes hours of intensive labor, patience, and numerous trips to a mall. But when you find that pair, every top in your wardrobe seems to have that much more potential! For me this mission began, sometime last fall... I was desperate to find a pair of black, skinny, and perfectly cropped jeans. Although, I failed miserably for months, I finally found them this past weekend.
Hello Darlings,
After a grueling day of shopping for some spring essentials, I think I am ready for SPRING! With my list in hand, I have had a successful day of locating the majority of the items that I jotted down.If I was to choose only one item to purchase it would definitely be a cute pair of flats.
