Alice + Olivia

I scored these Alice + Olivia shorts the other day from Neiman Marcus.   Would you believe these were down to $53 from $158? Then I only ended up paying $3 for them as I had a gift card.  I love a good deal.

What's been the greatest deal you've ever snagged on something?

Lit Boutique: Blogger Shopping Party

It was a meet, mingle, shop and sip at LIT Boutique last night in the North End.

It was great meeting Shanna-Marie of Shanna's Eye View who put the event together and Rebecca, the manager of LIT as well as fellow Boston Bloggers, Michael of Trendy Dwarf, Kristen of Boston Fashionista , Michele of Michele's Musings and Anosha of Locks & Trinkets.

I tried on a pair of super cute Naughty Monkey heels, but the sixes were a tad snug on my 6.5 feet. (Although I fit into size 5 Hunter boots, wtf?).

Thanks for the wonderful cupcakes (still need to know where those babies were from) and the lovely Votiva candles.  Photos by photohogger.

Husbandswear

My hubby wears suits and blazers to work every day and I can't help but think how dapper he looks each morning.  I decided to start chronicling his combos of shirts/blazers/ties.

Today he had on a Hugo Boss dress shirt and a tweed blazer from Tom's Place in Toronto.  We love Tom's Place; it's the best place to go whenever you need a suit or a tux for a big occasion and it's always tailored to fit perfectly.  (photos by photohogger)

Stylewatch has been saying the BIG-BOYFRIEND-BLAZER trend is over.  What do you think?  Would you sport the oversized blazer?


Don't forget to enter to win this gorgeous copper STARR CUFF ($40 value!) from Esma Studio!  Contest ends Monday October 17 at 5pmEST.

BFW2011: Second Time Around

Boston Fashion Week has been filled with amazing collections; with one of the most unique being the Second Time Around show.

 



On Friday September 30, STAConsignment took place in The Tent at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Boston.  STA is a premier consignment company featuring affordable, wearable yet high-end items in over 25 boutiques in the city.  The show, with it's funky style, bright pops of colour and trendy looks was a huge hit with the audience.  Here are my faves.

Boston Fashion Week: The Paper Store

The Paper Store is one of the sponsors of Boston Fashion Week and it was great to meet Kris and Taylor in the lounge where beautiful items from The Paper Store were on display.

One such window held gorgeous, delicate charm bracelets by Chamilia.  The crystals and stones mixed with glass and gold are stunning, and would make an amazing gift for a loved one for Christmas.  *Hint Hint* Hahaha :)

Check them out on Facebook or visit The Paper Store.  (Photos: ©photohogger)

BFW2011: Lily & Migs

It's been great shooting in Boston Fashion Week 2011!

Last night, the Lily & Migs show took center stage in The Tent!

Wow.

I've heard chiffon is a difficult material to work with (thanks Project Runway!) so, watching these gorgeous, pleated, fitted, blousy, multiple tiered creations (in chiffon! silk! and georgette!) strutting down the runway was truly a delight. Such a beautiful collection and those models were rocking some amazing fish-tail braids!

Here, some of my favourite shots from before the show, during and after. It was great meeting Jenn of the Jenn & Lauren team behind Lily & Migs!

Missoni Weekend

Missoni for Target had everyone in a frenzy.  The website was down for some time, then Missoni items were all over Ebay.  My sister went to Target and scored some really cute items for herself and for me! She got me this shirt and these pumps.  The pumps are a bit loose on me so they may go back, but aren't they pretty?  (Photos: photohogger)






Some of my girlfriends from Toronto were visiting this weekend, so I decided to wear my Missoni shirt for our day out and about in Boston on Saturday.  I wore it with skinny jeans, pearls and sunglasses and because we were walking around, Converse and an army green jacket with rolled up sleeves.

We also had a ball of a good time shopping at the Wrentham Outlets on Friday.  The girls scored a great deal at the Vince Camuto outlet as they were having a "Buy One Get One 1/2 off" sale.  I almost bought the same pair as my BFF but then I would have had to employ the "Buy One Throw One Out" rule.  ;)

Army

Amsterdam was fairly chilly, something I wasn't really expecting.  I knew it was raining over there, but it was quite cold, as well, which resulted in me having to purchase a hooded trench from H&M before I froze my a$$ off.  If only I'd seen something like what these two were sporting.  These ladies sure knew how to keep warm.  And notice the red pants.  <3

What do you think of the army jacket?  Is it something you'd wear this fall?  (photo, photohogger)

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?

Pilcro

Are you a cords person? I am not.  They simply do not work for my height or shape, I find them entirely too bulky making me feel as though I can't move freely.  Jeans on the other hand, I love, especially skinny jeans as they make me look taller. 

That said, you may like Anthropologie's new Pilcro collection of coloured jeans and cords in varying shapes and sizes from Serif, Stet and Superscript.  I do love the colours. 

Et Voila!  Prices range from $88-$118 (via Anthropologie)!

Madewell Fall : Suspenders

How do you feel about suspenders y'all?

I have never worn suspenders and apart from always seeing them on Kevin Frankish of Breakfast Television (Toronto Morning Show), I can't imagine pulling off the look.

Madewell, however, makes it look wonderful.  I feel it would be hard to incorporate suspenders around a larger chest.  What do you think?   

SUSPENDERS, something you'd wear?  (Images via Madewell)

Brioni

I don't often post on men's fashion (I have once or twice, most recently with Banana Republic's Mad Men collection) but this caught my eye, especially since my hubby wears suits everyday.  Brioni's latest collection, the Colosseo, is fashioned after men's suits in the 60s.  YES, the 60s are back!

DVF: Fall Collection

Thought we saw enough of the red pants over the summer? Think again.  Albeit a darker hue for fall, the red pant is all over the plazace, as in Diane von Furstenberg's Fall 2011 Collection.

 

I'm feeling so inspired to wear longer sleeves again and with the rain we've been getting, I'm in a FALL (not foul) mood.

 

Shop the collection (and images via) Saks Fifth Avenue.
