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)

Thomas Sabo Bracelet + Charms

Sorry for being MIA, but I just moved from Toronto to Boston and things have been hectic to say the least.

As a going away present, my lovely girlfriends got together and secretly planned to buy me a Thomas Sabo Charm bracelet along with individual Thomas Sabo charms and some from Swarovski!  Stunning.  When they presented each charm to me, I was to guess which charm came from which friend. 

Thomas Sabo bracelets are gorgeous and the charms are simply spectacular.  With such fine detail and brilliant colour and stones, they're little treasures you can wear alone or all together on the bracelet.

The Swarovski charms are beautiful little things, sparkly and sweet, exactly what any girl would love to have in her collection.

Ladies, wow!  I am truly touched.  It's something I will treasure forever.  Thank you so much.  I miss you!

(All photos taken by Alicia, thanks girl!)

The lovely Royal Couple are in Ottawa today for Canada's birthday!

Patchwork

As seen by SART on Rue du Renard, Paris.  Love her leather patchwork skirt.  Don't you? 



Here's a vintage one available on Etsy for $45USD - isn't it gorg?



More patchwork skirts.  (Images via Pinterest)  Is this something you'd wear ladies, or only have on your bed at home?

Magazine Covers

From a photographic perspective, magazine covers are one of my favourite things.  So much glamour and style is put into getting that cover page.  Of course, it's amazing how Photoshopped some of them are (and by some, I mean most, if not, all)!  Emma Stone, on the covers of Elle and Vanity Fair, looks vibrant and fun, but of course the Fuggirls always have something to say about covers that look wonky.  Still, Vanity Fair and Vogue (US, India,UK, Italia) usually have the most outstanding covers.




What's your favourite magazine to buy and are you swayed by who's on the cover?

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? (Images via Pinterest)

IIFA Toronto

There was glitz n' glam and a GREEN carpet.  It was IIFA (The International Indian Film Academy Awards, like Bollywood's Oscars) in Toronto.  Some of the Bollywood stars (Shah Rukh Khan) rocked the Green (why that shade of Green? So unflattering) carpet.  Others (Amisha Patel in her ugly yellow mini-dress), not so much.  (Images gettyimages)

Zooey is the NEW GIRL

Have you guys heard about this new show starting in the fall?  Zooey Deschanel is going to be playing Jessica Day as the NEW GIRL on Fox.  (All images via Pinterest)

 

 

I can. not. wait.  I am a huge ZOOOoooey fan.  What is not to love about her?  For one, she has THE most amazing BANGS and tresses, magnificent big blue eyes and how adorable was she with Joseph Gordon-Levitt in 500 Days of Summer?

 

I'm also excited that Damon Wayans Junior (that's right, son of funny man Damon Wayans) will be on the show, too.  We really enjoyed watching him on Happy Endings, which I've heard may be cancelled (why?! It was so funny!)  

 

Here's what Zooey had to say about WOMEN in television and film (btw, have you all seen Bridesmaids, yet? I think it's the funniest film I've seen all year!):

 

"I think we're in a time right now where there was a tipping point [and] so many of the pilots that were picked up were female leads, female written.  Girls are kicking butt in comedy and [with] 'Bridesmaids' doing so well, I feel like this is a new frontier."

 

And here's a tribute to all things Zoooooeeeey!

Happy Dads

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads out there!  

What did you get your Dad for his day?  Yellow sneakers?  Not likely, right?

Don't know if this dude is a dad but he's rocking the yellow Nikes.  Even the guys in Montreal are so fashionable. (Image photohogger)



Happy Father's Day to all the Dads I know!!!

Seersucker + Dad

I have two seersucker pieces, a pair of pants and shorts and they're so perfect for summer. 


Stella McCartney's Spring RTW 2012 collection showcases a lot of Hawaiian prints, bright colours, black n' white, houndstooth and a lot of seersucker. 



The origin of the word and material can be traced to India (derived from Hindi's sīrsakar which in turn comes from the Persian word: shīroshakar = milk + sugar) and was worn by the British in India during the hot climates.  It later made it's way to the U.S in the form of suits for Southern gentlemen.

So maybe something seersucker-y for Dad on Father's Day?

I love these gorgeous and hand-made Alexander Olch seersucker ties.



Great seersucker and gingham short sleeved shirt.



Perfect for the summer, a seersucker bathrobe!


Summer weekend shorts from L.L.Bean.
