Breakfast At Tiffany's

Everyone knows that Tiffany & Co. is synonymous with luxury.  Opulent yellow diamonds, shiny sterling silver and that iconic (and trademarked) shade of blue.  

So when I was invited for "Breakfast at Tiffany's" to celebrate the opening of the new Tiffany & Co. location at Chestnut Hill Mall, two things immediately happened, a) Holly Golightly came to mind and b) I said YES.

The jewellery sparkled on our clavicles, fingers, wrists and ears, the mimosas overflowed, and the quiches were just perfect.

It was a lovely way to have breakfast and now that the bar has been set so high, my coffee will never be the same.

Thanks to Patrick McGuinness, the director of this Tiffany & Co., Stephanie, Sheryl and the other lovely associates who assisted us in trying on all sorts of spectacular jewellery and to the lovely ladies at PANcomm, Taylor and Kerri for the invitation.  Also, thank you for the gorgeous coffee table book.

Some other dolled up Boston Bloggers were in attendance (a few of whom I met for the first time!), including Marissa of The Well Appointed Catwalk, Julie of JQ Lounge, Martini of Beyond Boston Chic, Naina of Style 'N, Lani of Mon Petit Chou Chou, and Annalise of Quarterlife Lifestyle.

Bibhu Mohapatra at W Hotel Boston

It was lovely to meet Designer Bibhu Mohapatra at the W Hotel in Boston on November 16 for his showcase of 24 looks from his SS2012 collection (which recently showed at New York Fashion Week).

Flowy and sheer, elegant yet edgy and all very wearable, the designer himself describes the clothes as being worn by:

"Strong, confident, self-assured, well-traveled women who appreciate beautifully crafted clothes. These are the women who do not chase fashion, they make fashion." - The Boston Globe

I stopped by Neiman's yesterday and met the designer once again as he was tweaking his gorgeous window displays in their "'Twas the Night Before..." theme - don't forget to check them out!

And if you haven't seen Bibhu Mohapatra's collection yet, you can meet the designer TODAY Nov. 17 at Neiman Marcus, Copley Place from 10am-4pm in the Couture Salon.

Hunter

We've talked about them before:  rainboots.  And with all the rain we've been getting in Boston, I was happy to find these Hunter boots on sale for $49.99 at The Tannery in Boston on the weekend.  I love the beautiful rust colour and am surprised to have fit into a size 5!  For rainboots, the snugger fit with a sock is perfect, so the heel doesn't lift.  This will be a welcome addition to my favourite Kate Spade pair, that is, when our furniture and belongings finally arrive (going on 3 weeks now, guys!).

What sort of rain footwear to you prefer?

Pony

With my hair growing longer and longer everyday, I usually end up tying it into a top knot that's messy, but lately I've been trying to pull it back into a neater and higher pony-tail with some height in front, like these ladies, here.  Are you a top knot or pony tail girl?

Headphones and Heels

Sorry for being MIA last week ladies; was in Montreal and will post some photos, soon!  For now, here's a very cool girl as seen in Boston.  Her heels were so high and she was struttin' so fast with her headphones on.  Have you noticed a lot of people wearing big-a$$ headphones again? (Image photohogger)

Yellow Pants

I'm back from Boston!  We had a wonderful time, would you believe it was 32-38°C there!  Wow, amazingly hot.  Absolutely loved it.  I should have packed more shorts and t-shirts! 

Here's a woman on Charles St. sporting some yellow pants.  I had to get a shot of her with the yellow hydrant, yellow Penske truck and yellow flowers in the background.  Is this something you would wear ladies?  (Image photohogger)



Also, red pants.

Pleats

I used to have a black pleated midi skirt that I gave away a long time ago.  Don't you regret doing that when the style comes back?  I love how graceful these pleated skirts look, and how perfect for summer?

What's your summer style?  Are you a skirts and dresses person or a shorts and t-shirt person?

Umbrella-ella-eh-eh

It's raining here in Toronto, which means SPRING is finally here?!?  Which means that we have to bring out our rain boots and umbrellas!

I adore my Kate Spade rain boots which I got on sale, what are your go-to rain boots or footwear of choice for the rainy season?

As far as umbrellas go, Shed Rain has the lightest ones I've ever come across.  I also love Totes for their affordability and sizes.  London Undercover has the most unique umbrellas ever, like this fish and chips one and this English Breakfast one.  How cute are they?

Then there's the Polite Umbrella which you can pull into yourself if the sidewalk is too busy or if it's a windy day.  Brilliant, don't you think?  It's one on a list of 20 COOLEST umbrellas you'll ever see!

Twiggy

Wasn't the Twigster (do you think anyone called her that?) such a fashion inspiration? I would never dare cut my hair that short, but she has always looked so cool, and check out that long (and thick!) braid!

With the 70s revival, do you see yourself wearing those floppy hats?  Super cute!

Classic Red

What is it about a classic red lip that looks so glamorous?

Don't these lovely ladies make you feel like breaking out the RED?

I finally found my perfect shade.   It's Lorac's Matte Lipstick in "Receive".   I keep it in my purse just in case I'm going out and need to dress up a bit.

Do you have a perfect red?

Yellow!

What is it about that pop of YELLOW that really makes one think of Spring?

My breakdown?

Spring = Easter = Baby chicks = Baby chick yellow

How's that?

Love this "chick's" effortless look.

Wish list: Prada

I am so in love with Prada's Spring 2011 collection of shoes.  Have you seen these beauties?  I do own a black pair of patent leather Prada flats I bought last summer in Paris, but I've been eyeing these lovelies:
