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.

Flannel here and there...

It's getting chilly out. Time to break out the bigger duvet, the hot chocolate, the flannel!  As much as I wanted to hibernate this weekend, we went for a long walk along the Charles River, it was the perfect weather to break out the flannel - except this shirt is not flannel at all, but cotton and not as heavy to walk in, as it was still warm on Sunday.

Reminded me of this shirt I saw a girl wearing in Amsterdam at one of the flea markets.  She had a lot going on, but the shirt stuck out for me.  Oh, and the LV bag. (photos by photohogger)

How do you like your flannel?  Shirt/blazer/socks/sheets?  Or not at all?

Animal Print



Y'all know how much I love a good leopard.  Print, that is.  And animal print is nothing new to the seasons, it is a classic print that goes with anything, but when I saw these Franco Sarto wedges with the unusual placement of fur, I was sold.  (photos by photohogger)

So, how do you animal print?

 

And if you haven't already, ENTER TO WIN THIS FABULOUS COPPER CUFF from ESMA STUDIO! Contest ENDS TODAY at 5pm EST!  Stay tuned for the WINNER!

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.

Red Boots in Amsterdam

This summer we saw red pants all over the place. So, how about some red boots for fall?

I've hung onto my red Steve Madden boots over a few seasons, now. I purchased them a few seasons ago, and love wearing them when it's just starting to get chilly.

I saw many a boot in Amsterdam as it was quite cold and rainy over there.

These girls had red covered. (photographs by photohogger)  How are you planning on wearing red this fall?


And stay tuned for a super chic jewellery giveaway from Esma Studios happening tomorrow!!

Amsterdots

I just donated a polka dotted hoodie from H&M amongst other articles of clothing which didn't fit in the closets here (having moved from a house in the burbs of Ontario to an apartment in Cambridge). I also didn't know about the SIP and SWAP until too late, which would have been ideal for the boxes of clothes that we had.  Still, it's a good thing I didn't get rid of all my polka dots, as it's all very trendy and happening this season.

It was also happening in Amsterdam. (photos by photohogger)


Are you en trend? Or an avid avoider of polka dots?

BFW2011: Daniela Corte



The big finale of Boston Fashion Week took place on Friday September 30, when Daniela Corte took place on centre stage.

What a close! It was one of the most exciting events, the TENT was completely sold out and filled to the brim.

Here's just a teaser of the show to come. Whose shoes?

We were trying to figure out what the lady on the left was wearing. Anyone know? The other two are the designers :) Smashing!

BFW2011: Carter Smith



On the final night of Boston Fashion Week, one of the most colourful shows took place in The Tent at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.  The Carter Smith show.

Carter Smith's Shibori process (Japanese dyeing technique by way of manipulating the fabric then dyeing it) results in a one of a kind, rich fabric, which is then sewn in a way that flatters every figure.

Here are some of my favourites.
