Holiday Prep: how to find holiday party dress and decode a party invitation…
Hello Darlings,
With holiday season just around the corner and shopping malls filling with crowds of people,everyone is slowly being absorbed by the holiday spirit. Of course, I adore this time of the year however along with the beautiful festivities comes a time when one needs to find that one, two or maybe three party dresses. Ones that will work for an office party, a family party, a girl’s night out and of course a hot date. With so many occasions to cover and so much to chose from… I set out to find my own holiday cocktail dress.
“A white dress she had on. She was carrying a white parasol. I only saw her for one second. She didn’t see me at all. But I’ll bet a month hasn’t gone by since that I hadn’t thought of that girl.”
– Citizen Kane
Before hitting the stores, I once again decided to turn to my trusty fashion books for some advice and tips on how to find that ideal cocktail dress as well as how to decode a party invitation. I am sure that everyone has encountered that one invitation that left you dazed and confused as to what is expected of your attire.
How to wear jewelry…
Hello Darlings,
When it comes to jewelry I am as clueless as it gets. It can be said that I suck at accessorizing. I am just too intimidated by costume jewelry, too obsessed with pearls to even bother wearing them because of a fear of going overboard, too reluctant to mix silver and gold jewelry, too nervous to look like a walking freak-show, too scared to wear fake as not to look like a phony. In one word, I am CONFUSED! I adore collecting jewelry but I never really know how to put it to a good use, in a way that could transform a look from drab to fab. In order to tackle such a dilemma, I went ahead and decided to turn to professionals and gather some visual inspiration.

This is my first attempt at trying to lean how to wear jewelry in a way that truly does make a statement. Hopefully this little 101 to jewelry is going to help me overcome my fear as well as inspire you to either face your fear as well or to try something new. It's not possible to know or be inspired too much! S0 shall we 
Under the Weather…
Hello Darlings,
Despite the beautiful fall weather, I am feeling quite under the weather with sniffles and the whole shazam 
But I am back with a quick outfit post from this Friday. Despite a fun weekend of shopping, dinners, lunches, and birthdays with my girlies... I had zero luck in the shopping department. After a Saturday afternoon of shopping, I came home with only a book :S. However, I was quite excited to get my hands on the new Nina Garcia book, Look Book: What to Wear for Every Occasion. Which is quite informative and always super fun to read!
Another great piece of information that I wanted to share was this awesome list of stores and services in Toronto that are recommended by Jeanne Beker. For those who are not familiar, Jeanne Beker is a host of Fashion Television and is one of the most iconic and influential women in the fashion industry in Canada and around the world. It's definitely worth checking out Click on the image below.
In With The Boot…
Hello Darlings,
First of all, I've been updating My Store and adding new items. I still have lots of items coming!!! Be sure to check back.
Also between the study time, family and friends, and millions of errands...I have taken up cooking and learning finance 101
Know the size and dress for the type…
Hello Darlings,
As I've previously mentioned, I just picked a copy of Tim Gunn:A Guide to Quality, Taste and Style and found it to be quite informative. Therefore, I would like to share with you some excerpts from a section on size and body type that are quite interesting.
I've always been a firm believer in dressing to flatter your figure rather than following fashion trends and this book does a good job breaking down the elements of individual style. I think that being comfortable with oneself and making the best of what is that you were worn with is key when it comes to feeling fabulous
So without further ado...
Modern Dilemma of Flares…
Hello Darlings,
Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend As for me, I just got in from a day of successful shopping and could not be anymore excited! Besides a fact that I rediscovered my love for Burberry flairs, but also managed to score two pieces from Wilfred's Little Moon line on a wicked sale. It's amazing how little I need to feel a huge amount of happiness Just kidding, but it is true that the smallest things in life can make me ridiculously happy. Such as hearing the perfect song on the radio, coming across the cutest cafe, waking up an hour too late, managing to meditate for 30 minutes with no distractions, and of course to spend an extra minute or two with family and friends.
With Chloé….
Hello Darlings,
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend!!! It is absolutely stunning in Toronto, the weather is perfection I am taking as much time as I can to get away to the park with Johnny (my Cocker Spaniel) for couple of hours to read the latest book— Eat, Pray, Love.
For the past couple of weeks, I've been reading non-stop and now onto my third book of the summer.I've always been an avid reader and tend to read whenever I have a free minute. Any suggesting as to what my next book should be!!! I just finished reading Karen Essex's Stealing Athena must say that if you're into art history or architecture this is a must read. I will do a separate post on my latest reading adventures as I have picked up some awesome fashion reads as well!
My favorite passage of the week from Eat, Pray, Love: " To find balance you.... must keep your feet grounded so firmly on the earth that it's like you have four legs, instead of two. That way, you can stay in the world. But you must stop looking at the world through your head. You must look through your heart, instead."
