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)

Sam Studelman

Sam Edelman is my all-time favourite shoe designer, mostly for flats.  I have been swooning over these studded heels, though.  I love anything studded, if you'll remember from here and here (hello Valentino!)

How do you feel about studded heels?

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!

Happy Canada Day!

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

How stunning is the Duchess of Cambridge?  Wearing the same cream coloured Reiss dress she wore for their official engagment shoot, topped with a beautiful red maple leaf fascinator by Sylvia Fletcher for Lock & Co., she looks absolutely incredible!  (Images via Dailymail)

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)
