Hello Darlings,
Polka dots were seen all over Marni, Michael Kors and House of Holland Spring 09 runways, which inspired me to take a chance and try the whimsical 50's retro look, the trick is to wear pattern proportional to my body.
I was never the girl to like polka dots, until recently. I've had this beautiful Guess chiffon polka dot top for few years now, but never really liked to wear it. But this summer something in me embraced polka dots and decided to give it a try; first pairing it with slouchy Wang khakis and today with a simple pair of skinnies and a bomber.
I love how it is formfitting the cute ruffles that remind me of my old ballet tutu's. It is so perfectly girly and elegant that it went from being an outcast to a favorite. I also think that this top makes any outfit date perfect... which is exactly where I wore it yesterday evening... for a date with Andrew :)
I am wearing:
Guess Chiffon Top
J Brand Skinnies
Gustto Cokera Purse
Pearl Earrings (gift from parents)
On a side note, I want to share some of my new purchases. Revolve Clothing is having the BEST SALE EVER, so I bought these babies, since I've wanted them for a while now but could not justify their full price... but since they went on sale,there was no reason not to buy them. Plus ,if you use the code TULIP you get another 15% off :) *both regular and sale prices*
Honestly, I am convinced that no other online store has better sales than Revolve Clothing and Forward by Revolve Clothing :) If it was not for them, I would not never be able to afford the things that I have...for that I must say thank you.
Luc Kieffer Barber Wire Round Ring in Pink - reg. price $191.77 on sale for $33 (CAD)
Candela Tokyo in Silver - reg. price $255.70 on sale for $127.85(CAD)
I can't wait for them to arrive :)

Good Morning Darlings,
As for make-up only a touch of mascara and berry lip gloss... I refuse to wear any cover up in crazy hot weather. Eek, I would feel like I am melting away.
Well off I go...
I've got a million things to do, including finding a beginners book to French grammar. Yup, knowing French/German is part of my specialist.
If you guys have any suggestions please drop me a line!!! I will be forever grateful.
Every morning as I get dressed, I reach for things that are more simple and delicate, but with a boyish touch. During the summer months in feels wrong to wear complicated and dramatic clothe; to wear a ton of make up; and to spend hours on hair.
All I want is extreme simplicity...Not only in appearance but also in esthetic of appearance.
I'm continuously inspired by the way men wear their clothe... and their easy and effortless approach to getting dressed. Observing the way Andrew gets dressed made me realize that the less thought you put into clothe, the better... when things come naturally it always looks effortless and great.
Men usually do not obsess about they way they look and usually do not take hours to get ready. But in the end they always end up looking adorable. Just think about the idea behind a man's suit: it is simple, easy, and absolutely perfect. No hassle, no stress, it is a matter of changing shirts and ties... and once in a white a suit :)
This easy approach to life and fashion made me fall in love with menswear...anything with a boyish accent catches my attention.
A combination of masculine and feminine became my latest obsession.
OBSESSING.
As for today's look well, my obsession continues...I paired my distressed Abercrombie&Fitch jeans with a delicate semi-sheer top from Club Monaco and topped it all off with my new Members Only bomber.
Simple, comfortable and most importantly I feel great in in.
I am wearing: Club Monaco Semi-sheer top; A&F Distressed jeans; Members Only Nylon Bomber; Pour La Victoire Wedges.
I wish you all a beautiful Tuesday!!!!
With Love...

Hello Darlings,
The weather has been amazing... and I've been spending most of my time outside. Nothing beats a scenic walk along the shores of Lake Ontario.
As for the rest of the collection, well I tried on a pair of pants and a dress by Vera Cava and although I loved them... I didn't feel like they would suit my personal style.
As for now I am off to pack for the weekend at the cottage... with this weather outside I just can't wait to relax on the beach with great company.
As for today's outfit... well,I've finally had a chance to wear my Alexander Wang for Gap khakis and I love them even more now. They are soooooo comfortable :)
These pants are perfect for the summer time... light, loose, and simple.Overall, a perfect addition to my wardrobe. Although they are shown as being full lenght in the ad as well as on the Gap site, in reality they are cuffed and stitched up (just they way the look on my photos). Gap.com also described them as high-waist.. but they are not, they actually sit pretty low-at least that's the way they fit me.
I am wearing: Alexander Wang for Gap khakis; A&F tank; Talula blazer; Pour la Victorie Wedges; Coach purse.
You guys are definitely going to be seeing these babies a lot... they are the most comfortable pants I own. Plus, they are so easy to wear and to dress up or down.
THE REST OF THE COLLECTION.
What do you think? Am I wrong, do they suit me?
I must admit that the collection is well thought out and the quality is amazing. The pieces are bound to become summer essentials. Absolutely love them! But then again simplicity is what I love. This collection is worth checking out!!!
P.S.The Alexander Wang jackets were also super cute but they did not have my size. As for Albertus Swanepoel hats, well I couldn't find them in the store.
I wish you all a lovely and sunny weekend!!!!
With Love...
