Hello Darlings,

Online shopping is one of my favorite things to do, and is evolving into quite an addictive challenge. Obviously online retailers are not stupid, and seemingly are amping up the stakes creating more and more high-pressure scenarios with time limits with so-called "special sales".

No one forces me to press the enter key to buy clothes or shoes. Most often I play online shopping in the evening relaxing in my home. So the excuses blaming a store for my bad buys are pretty much nil, such as there's no "skinny mirror" or pushy salesperson to influence my decisions. The blame is all mine, or is it?

Hello Darlings,

Leather has been a fashion staple for decades. Yet in the past few seasons, leather has become more prominent and finally made its way into the mainstream for summer wear.

For me, just the thought of wearing leather on a hot summer day was terrifying. However, I recently discovered that wearing leather in the summer can actually be both stylish and comfortable. And if you're not so easily convinced, with fall fast approaching late summer is a perfect time to try out the leather trends.

Hello Darlings,

It's that time of the year, when every girl is beginning to transition into fall-mode! For me, the first fall purchase on my mind is a new purse. A purse in large part dictates my wardrobe choices for the season, which is why finding a perfect one takes time and effort. I may have just found a perfect fall purse from Kate Spade but really want to know your opinion on it first...

Hello Darlings,

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of joining Emirates Airline in their hospitality suite to watch one of the world's best tennis players — Novak Djokovic — play at Rogers Cup. Despite it being a rainy day, I was treated to an exciting match between Serbian Djokovic and American player Sam Querrey!

Despite the gloomy weather, Emirates hospitality suite was anything but dull! In true 5-star style, Emirates had a wonderful sushi chef in their suite and also served delicious treats including Arabic coffee. I also had the pleasure of getting to know several Emirates flight attendants who provided tips for my upcoming trip to Dubai and how best to deal with jet leg. More on this coming soon!
