In a bleak midwinter

Happiness hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with her drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

- DOG DAYS ARE OVER -- FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE


All I want to do this time of year is hibernate.
It is so cold that as soon as you take a step outside your face starts to freeze.
I wish I could go back to California!
No news updates for me; I have been mostly working, sleeping, eating, and working on finding the perfect fit for an internship.  I am planning on leaving Toronto for a few months to a surprise destination.  I would tell you but I am not too sure yet, all I know is that an internship in Toronto is mostly a back-up plan if nothing else falls into place.
I am wondering, how is the winter treating you wherever you are?
Today is about a few winter goodies that have been cheering me up.  It is a little depressing that I can not wear most of these shoes in two feet of snow.  However, summer is on the way!  I will share a few more photos from my California trip as well.
Stay tuned for my favourites from S/S 2012 in the next post.
New shoes, purses, and bags.
Shoes top to bottom:
Random boutique - 100$ on sale for 15$
Red pumps - ALDO 100$ on sale for 30$
Mesh and leather black heels - ALDO 100$ on sale for 30$
Nude and black pumps - Sterling 80$ on sale for 30$ each


My extremely unorganized bin full of shoes.  When I get my own place I am getting shelves.  I have boxes piled up beside my bed as well.
Sequin clutch - BCBG (gift <3 )
Cloth clutch with adjustable strap - DKNY


Still more California party pictures to come!

California dreamin'

Be my fairy to the world,
Be my very own constellation,
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And buy me a star on the boulevard
It's Californication
- CALIFORNICATION -- RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS

Happy holidays!
I know I said I would do a winter post but I just got back from a vacation in California so I thought I would just share a few tease photos.
My girlfriend is going to upload pictures from her camera tonight so I will do another post for you tomorrow!
So sorry I have been M.I.A. my loves.  What with my thesis, finishing school, and sneaking off for a vacation, I really have been neglecting my poor little blog.
The good news is that I did so much shopping in California that I was literally holding two pairs of shoes in my hand on the way home while wearing a pair that I bought because they just wouldn't fit in my shoes.
Got a D.K.N.Y. bag that is to die for and tons of other goodies!
Stay tuned!
For now just a few photos from my day trip to Los Angeles.  I want to live there!  I have my heart set on a fashion magazine internship but now I am going to take some time to explore my options abroad.  I love California!


Just a few phone photos!
Hollywood, Santa Monica, Venice Beach, Muscle Beach, Palm Springs

Shoes - Aldo 20$

Happy Holidays to all!
Lots more updates soon.
I got my New Years dress!  Have you?!

In New York...

In New York,
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of,
There’s nothing you can’t do,
Now you’re in New York,
These streets will make you feel brand new,
Those lights will inspire you,
Lets hear it for New York, New York, New York
- NEW YORK -- ALICIA KEYS

I was actually surprised how many looks I adored from New York for spring.
I went with a lot of looks to share with you!
Hope you enjoy them.

SOME NEWS...

I am now a stylist at Club Monaco!  I have my first shift this Saturday, wish me luck!  If you're not sure what they are about you can visit their website.

And now for New York!  A lot of the trends stood out and were repeated in Europe.  So many designers really shaped up for this season!

NEW YORK S/S 2011

Anna Sui
This was my favourite line from New York.  This look is so unbelievably stunning, the sheer top with jewel detailing is perfect and the colour is subtle, neutral, and elegant.  The outfit is simple but sheer perfection!
Another Western/tribal look from the runway, this neutral colour palette works so well together.  The feathers, frills, and headpiece just push it over the top!
These two stunning looks mix feminine draping with subtle, tribal detailing.  The simple, practical-looking boots mixed with the neutral and soft colours in this line are absolutely stunning.

DKNY
DKNY uses feminine silhouettes to emphasize the classic, tailored look perfect for the office or a day out.  These looks are so practical and there is a subtle pop of red to add some emphasis.  This was my second favourite line, I love every look!

Mulberry
This is always one of my favourite lines from New York.  The items are versatile, feminine, classic, and perfectly detailed.  The simple basic colour pallette is embellished with subtle feminine detailing like bows and flowers.
Another great look from Mulberry!  These shoes are perfect for spring and the dress can be made casual or dressy according to the rest of the styling!  The bright red background really make the looks stand out.

Altuzari
I love the silhouette, use of leather and the one shoulder.  The shoes are very avant-garde and lighten up the dark look of the dress.
The shape and structure of this outfit is very unique and put together beautifully.  The yellow belt adds a pop of colour to an otherwise neutral pallette.  Socks and sandals are big on the runway once again!
The cutout strips and asymmetry of this outfit is balanced lovely with the subtle yet bright detailed accessories.  A small pop of colour really adds to the look, and the shoes are once again fabulous!

BCBG
Most of the spring looks by Max Azria are all white, simple, and stunning, like most of his spring looks!  Lots of draping and bandaging makes for a subtle variety of otherwise similar styles.

 Calvin Klein
The low v-necks and cutout backs are gorgeous on the simple array of looks from Calvin Klein.

Elle Tahari
This is slowly becoming one of my favourite designers!  The looks are so elegent, and the colours are so simple, just the way I like them!  The shiny, sparkly nudes come together in classic silhouettes to produce gorgeous looks.

 Isaac Mizrahi
This designer is starting to impress me more and more as well with gorgeous feminine detailing and soft pastel pinks.  Some great looks on this runway as well!

Ralph Lauren
This line was all about mixing delicate, feminine pieces with the outdoor country look.  Lots of brown mixed with white lace, low cuts, and Western accessorizing.  A great show!

Michael Kors
This line features draping, cropping, and some looser fitting styles.  Mixing business casual with a little funk and flavour is what this line is all about!

For more great looks check out style.com!

Coming up next:  London, and then Paris, where I left my heart when I was 10 or so!

Wish me luck at my new (and first) retail job ever!
Styling here I come!
