Hello Darlings,
Yesterday was a perfect day. My boyfriend bought tickets for the Coldplay concert and we both had a great time at the concert at Rogers Centre.
I am more of a ballet and musical person, but Coldplay was amazing. I have never experienced music in such an extreme and expressive way. There were over 50,000 people and it was phenomenal being in one place with so many happy faces :)
It was also our 2 years and 7 month anniversary and we "celebrate" every month by doing something together. The night was completed by late drinks at a cute downtown patio. A great night to remember!
I was surprised how casual people dressed for the Coldplay concert. People get more dressed up for hockey games :) It was a bit bizarre to me. And thankfully we had seats, since otherwise I would have died standing on my 5 inch heels from 8 pm until 12.
For my outfit, I chose a sexy Alice & Olivia sequin top with sparkle and sheer and downplayed it with a pair of Armani Exchange pants. I felt that it was both comfortable and appropriate for the occasion.
I am wearing:
Armani Exchange Pants
Michael Kors Heels
Gustto Cokera Purse
With Love...

Well, I am off to watch Vanity Fair movie....
So, today's agenda consisted off:
♥ Doctor's appointment
♥ Starbucks run
♥Gallery run
♥ Finishing Thackeray's Vanity Fair and started The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton.
♥ Rented Vanity Fair from Blockbuster
♥ Went over some French words
♥ Did some work
♥ Picked up a pair of Speedo goggles for swimming
♥ Went for a swim - 30 laps.
♥ Played a game of Monopoly against the computer and won.
♥ Watched some re-runs of True Blood ( I watch it religiously)
♥ Stopped by some Blogs.
♥ Responded to some e-mails
♥ And of course, Blogged.
Well, as for the outfit... it had to be somewhat more dressy since I stopped by the gallery. I chose to finally wear my new Armani Exchange chiffon blouse that I got few weeks ago. The shoes had a touch of purple-y blue in them... so in matched quite well with the blouse.
I am wearing: Armani Exchange Blouse; Alexander Wang for Gap khakis; Michael Kors Heels; A.V.Max Cuff; Ray Ban Wayfarers ( gift from Andrew).
Thoughts on Vanity Fair by W.M Thackeray...
I've finally finished reading the book and I must say that this was the longest read for me -time wise, it took me over 3 weeks. The version I read was in the original format as Thackeray wrote it in 1840 including the original illustrations. This book is phenomenal but requires a lot of patience and possible re-reading ( certain chapters)...if you have the time and patience it is a very rewarding read. The story of the 18th and 19th century England is told with the most sardonic wit and eloquence.The books heroine,Becky Sharp, remains one of the most memorable heroines in British fiction. It is one of those read's that you will stay with you. There's no better way to summarize the book, then the way Nicholas Dames has in the Introduction...
" Vanity Fair is a novel full of scandal, including fraud, pretty deceit, extramarital complications, and murder, but these putative outrages to Victorian notion of social decency are never narrated as surprises. Instead, Thackeray presents them to us with a half-amused, half-disgusted species of boredom, as if to say: Surely, you weren't so naive as to pretend this wasn't the case?"
I wish you all a lovely start to the week!!!
With Love...
