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)!

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-)

 

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)

Orange you ready for Fall?

Is it too soon to talk about Fall?

Maybe.  But today in Boston, it is pouring out there and it has me seeing umbrellas and thinking about fall coats.

I recently purchased an orange coat from Joe Fresh in Toronto, and I love the vibrant hue.  Now I'm seeing that orange is a hot colour for fall.  It reminds me of Holly Golightly's orange peacoat in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Would you wear such a bright pop of colour?  (Images via Pinterest)
