DIY: Jewellery Holder

Who knew an Ikea cutlery set holder would double as a great jewellery organizer? I finally have my jewellery nicely on display making it really easy to sort through items to wear.

How do you keep your jewellery organized? (images by photohogger)  

And speaking of jewellery, stay tuned for:

Fashionhogger's FIRST PROMO, coming soon!

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.  ;)

Toe Cleavage

I bought these leopard printed Me Too flats on sale; they're one of my favourite pairs to wear.  Lately though, and especially after looking at this photo, I feel that they're starting to stretch oddly.  Hence the toe cleavage.

Enquiring minds need to know.  Yay or nay to toe cleavage?  How much is too much?  (photo, photohogger)

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)

 

Two Tones

Hi guys! I'm back from Amsterdam.  We also went to Greece for a week, but more on that later.

Firstly, I absolutely loved Amsterdam.

Holy bicycles, Batman!  And the multitasking that these men and women do on their bicycles.  And in such beautifully tailored suits and magnificent heels.  Impressive, to say the least.  I can barely ride a bike let alone, hold an umbrella.  Or, in this case, a cigarette.

Love the two tone booties with leather pants.  (photos by photohogger)

How are you at multi-tasking on a bicycle?

Amsterdam

We're off to Amsterdam tomorrow!  I hear it's been raining over there, ranging from 14 - 20 degrees celsius. In preparation, here's what I'm thinking of packing (minus the cheese, of course).

Hope you guys have a lovely weekend and next couple of weeks, see you when I get back!

Tiffany & Co. Fall 2011 Leather Collection

Have you guys seen Tiffany & Co.’s new fall leather collection? 

I am swooning over the fantastic textures, prints and colours.  Just yesterday, I painted my nails a Tiffany blue, thanks to China Glaze's "For Audrey" nail polish.

Here's a sneak peek from the look book. 

Among my favouries are the Tiffany Avenue Shopper, the versatile and celeb favourite, Reversible Tote and the amazing clutches.   (Images via Tiffany & Co. )

Vacation with Tiffany's

Getting ready for our trip to Amsterdam with this brilliant Tiffany-esque (actually called "For Audrey") nail polish. And speaking of Tiffany's, have you seen Tiffany & Co.'s Fall Collection?  More on that tomorrow!

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)!

Chanel No 19 on August 19

To celebrate Gabrielle Coco Chanel's August 19th birthday, CHANEL is launching the new No.19 Poudré fragrance. 

I used to wear COCO Chanel and now I like the smell of Coco Mademoiselle, but my go-to scent has always been Clinique's Happy and more recently Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy.    

Are you a Chanel fragrance fan?  Which do you like?  Or if not, what is your favourite go-to scent? 

 

CHANEL National Event

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)

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.

Francesca's Collection

I'm loving everything in Francesca's Collection, right now. And they're having a great sale on (30% off all regularly prices shoes and handbags!)

I love these cushy, cute and colour-blocked handbags ($38 - 44).

  

 

The geo-metric, chunky, colourful jewellery is gorgeous.  ($38)



The breezy printed and mod dresses are super cute.  ($48-)

 

Pink with Glee

Dianna Agron from Glee is sporting PINK hair now. 



Nothing new in Hollywood as we've seen in the past with Rachel McAdams, Britney and Kelly Osbourne.

Streaks are one thing, but pink?

MAD MEN @ Banana Republic

Who else is madly excited for this collection?

For limited time, Banana Republic’s new “Mad Men”-inspired capsule collection housing around 65 pieces for men and women is available at Banana Republic starting today!  Select stores in Canada are even having a cocktail party at 6pm to celebrate the event!  Just after I move, huh? ;)

Knuckle Rings

They sure look like they'd hurt if they connected with ones face.  Here are some of the more crazy ones.

Would you be caught dead wearing one? (Images via Pinterest)
